The name of the product of the reaction of:

1-pentyne with one equivalent of Br2, that means that there is one mole of Br2 for each mole of 1-pentyne, is:

Dihalogenated alkane

Explanation:

When 1-pentyne reacts with one molar equivalent of diatomic bromine the product is dibromide, a dihalogenated alkane. This alkene halogenation reaction mechanism for the bromination of alkene, occurs when dihalide such as Br2 is added to a molecule after breaking the carbon to carbon double bond.
