When bromine is mixed with propane in the presence of light then a mixture of two monobrominated derivatives is obtained. Estimate the ratios by which these monobrominated derivatives will be obtained through this light-promoted bromination.
Hint: A bromine atom removes secondary hydrogen almost 80 times faster than the primary hydrogen.
