MCQ
The reaction of one mol of bromine with ethyne yields :
  • A
    $ \mathrm{BrCH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br} $
  • $ \mathrm{BrCH}=\mathrm{CHBr} $
  • C
    $ \mathrm{Br}_2 \mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CHBr}_2 $
  • D
    $ \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br} $

Answer

Correct option: B.
$ \mathrm{BrCH}=\mathrm{CHBr} $
Halogens, especially chlorine and bromine on reaction with alkynes readily produces tetra $-$ halogen derivatives of alkane. The reaction is carried out in inert solvent like carbon tetrachloride.
Due to the presence of two $n-$ bonds, each molecule of the alkyne can react with two molecules of the halogen.
One mole of Bromine with ethyne gives $1, 2-$ dibromoethene.
