Make an equation: CH4-C2H2-C2H2Br2

Let’s give an equation for hydrocarbons:
2CH4 = C2H2 + 3H2 – methane decomposition reaction, cracking is carried out at temperatures above 1000 degrees, acetylene is released;
C2H2 + Br2 = C2H2Br2 – addition, occurs due to the rupture of the “pi” -bond, dibromoethene is formed.
These reactions confirm the relationship between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Dibromoethene is a reactive substance used to obtain tetrabromoethane, which is used as a solvent. Acetylene is used in cutting and welding metals.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
