Consider the reaction of C6H6 + Br2 → C6H5Br + HBr ((equation not balanced)
a. What is the theoretical yield of C6H6Br if 142.1 g of C6H6, reacts with 173.0 g of Br2?
What is the limiting reagent?
b. What mass of excess remains?
c. If the actual yield of C6H5Br is 163.6 g, what is the percent yield?

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
