c.

The figure below shows the displayed structural formula of cyclohexene, C6H10\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10}C6​H10​, and an incomplete displayed structural formula of its addition product with chlorine.

Displayed structural formula of cyclohexene and incomplete structure of C6H10Cl2

Chlorine reacts with cyclohexene to produce a compound with the formula C6H10Cl2\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10}\text{Cl}_2C6​H10​Cl2​.

Complete the figure to show the displayed structural formula of C6H10Cl2\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10}\text{Cl}_2C6​H10​Cl2​.

d.

Calculate the percentage by mass of chlorine in a molecule of C6H10Cl2\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10}\text{Cl}_2C6​H10​Cl2​.

Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr​): H=1\text{H} = 1H=1, C=12\text{C} = 12C=12, Cl=35.5\text{Cl} = 35.5Cl=35.5.
