Answer #1

The relative ratio of the products is calculated as number of equivalent H x reactivity /total reactivity

The product 1 can be formed by replacement of 6 equivalent primaryhydrogens

thus itspossible reactivity = 6x 1

product 2 can be formed by replacement of 4 equivalent secondaryH

Thus its possible reactivity = 4 x3.5

product 3 is formed by replacement of one H

thus its possible reactivity = 1 x 5.0

product 4 can be formed by replacement of 3 equivalent H

Thus its posible reactivity = 3x1.0

Thus total reactivity = (6x1) +(4x3.5) + (1x5.0) + (3x1.0) =28

% of product1 = (6/28)x100

= 21.42 %

% of product 2 =(4x3.5)x100/28

= 50%

% of product 3 = (1x5.0)x100/28

= 17.85%

% of product 4 =(3x1.0) x100/28

=10.714%
