Octane number of petrol can be improved by admixing it with which of the following chemicals?
Et4Pb
CH3OC(CH3)3
Both (a) and (b)
Pyrene
Assertion (A): Reaction of 1-butene with HBr gives 1-bromobutane as major product.
Reason (R): Addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes proceeds according to Markownikoffs rule.
The correct answer is
A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is correct but R is not correct
A is not correct but R is correct
D.
A is not correct but R is correct
According to Markownikoff's rule, the addition of reagents such as HX, H2O and HOX with unsymmetrical alkanes occurs in such a way that the negative part of the adding molecule goes to that carbon atom of the double bond which carries lesser number of hydrogen atoms.
