Bromine water + cyclohexene (1 Viewer)

[Krypton]

Hey!!

My teacher told me that the reaction between cyclohexene and bromine water (aqueous) results in Hydrogen bromide and C6H10BROH --> this structure is also cyclic. What is the name and state of this product??? And are cyclohexene and cyclohexane liquids?

Thanx

cyclohexene and cyclohexane are liquids-this is a main reason why they are preferred over shorter chain alkenes and alkanes such as ethene and ethane for school laboratory experiments-because gaseous forms-much harder to contain, and much more easier to expose to naked flame source and cause dangerous explosion, C6H10BrOH is called 2-bromocyclohexanol and it is likely to be in a liquid state-ask your chemistry teacher to confirm this, http://www.youblisher.com/p/244950-Week1-intro-polymer/ -check page 4 of the document, it states the product is in liquid state, and you can also google it to confirm, but cyclohexene formula is C6H10, and bromine water(aqueous) is HOBr, I don't think hydrogen bromide can be a product along with your other cyclic product to make a balanced equation-check with your teacher again to make sure. Hope this helps
