Question 22

A refinery investigates one cracking reaction. One molecule of C15H32\text{C}_{15}\text{H}_{32}C15​H32​ splits to form one molecule of C9H20\text{C}_{9}\text{H}_{20}C9​H20​ and one molecule of product X.

C15H32→C9H20+X\text{C}_{15}\text{H}_{32} \rightarrow \text{C}_{9}\text{H}_{20} + \text{X}C15​H32​→C9​H20​+X

Product X is then shaken with bromine water.

a.

Calculate the molecular formula of product X.

[2]
b.

Explain what happens when product X is shaken with bromine water.
