Answer:

a. Yes, there was a difference in the number of times your substrate underwent addition in the two Friedel-Crafts reactions.

b. There was a difference- due to the fact that the first added alkyl group increaseD the electron density on benzene ring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, there was a difference in the number of times the substrate underwent addition in the two Friedel-Crafts reactions .

There was a difference - There was an increase in the rate of second Friedel-Craft reaction due to the fact that the first added alkyl group increaseD the electron density on benzene ring.

Therefore the rate of the addition reaction increases.
