Hello!
I have this addition reaction, but I don't know how to follow Markovnikov's rule in this...
CH3CH=CHCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + HBr --> CH3C-CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 or CH3CH2-CCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3

Br Br
Both carbon atoms next to the double bond have 1 hydrogen atom. Where will the Br be added and where the hydrogen? Or will we have a 50%-50% mixture of both products?
Thank you
