Answer: Reagents such as HCl, HBr, and HOH (H2O) can add

Chapter 21, Problem 21.59

(choose chapter or problem)

Reagents such as HCl, HBr, and HOH (H2O) can add across carboncarbon double and triple bonds, with H forming a bond to one of the carbon atoms in the multiple bond and Cl, Br, or OH forming a bond to the other carbon atom in the multiple bond. In some cases, two products are possible. For the major organic product, the addition occurs so that the hydrogen atom in the reagent attaches to the carbon atom in the multiple bond that already has the greater number of hydrogen atoms bonded to it. With this rule in mind, draw the structure of the major product in each of the following reactions. a. CH3CH2CHPCH2 1 H2O 888n b. CH3CH2CHPCH2 1 HBr 88n c. CH3CH2CqCH 1 2HBr 88n d. CH3 + H2O 88nH+ e. CH3 CH3 CH3CH2 H CC + HCl 88n
