Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- Alcohols are very useful starting materials for the production of many different compounds. The following conversions, starting with 1-butanol, can be carried out in two or more steps. Show the steps (reactants/catalysts) you would follow to carry out the conversions, drawing the formula for the organic product in each step. For each step, a major product must be produced. (See Exercise 62.) (Hint: In the presence of H+, an alcohol is converted into an alkene and water. This is the exact reverse of the reaction of adding water to an alkene to form an alcohol.) a. 1-butanol butane b. 1-butanol 2-butanonearrow_forwardA student added bromine solution to a hydrocarbon sample that contained an isomer of C6H12 (E) in the absence of light. After shaking the sample, the student noticed that the colour of the bromine solution changed from orange to colourless. Use the following information to answer the question 6. An interpretation that could be made from the student's observations is that the hydrocarbon sample isi and the IUPAC name of the sample could be ii . The statement above is completed by the information in row: i saturated saturated unsaturated unsaturated Row A B C D wer (2 marks) ii hex-2-ene cyclopentane hex-2-ene cyclopentane 0arrow_forward(a) When the metallic element sodium combines with the nonmetallic element bromine, Br2(l), how can you determine the chemical formula of the product? How do you know whether the product is a solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature? Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. (b) When a hydrocarbon burns in air, what reactant besides the hydrocarbon is involved in the reaction? What products are formed? Write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene C6H6(l), in air.arrow_forward
- In an advanced analytical chemistry lab, a team analyzing a compound 'Q' known to be a structural isomer of octane (C8H18). To determine the specific structure of 'Q', a series of spectroscopic analyses are performed. The sequence of the analysis involves: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which indicates the absence of functional groups like alcohols, ketones, and carboxylic acids. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, showing signals indicative of only methyl and methylene groups, with no evidence of methine (CH) or quaternary carbon environments. Mass spectrometry (MS), revealing a fragmentation pattern consistent with branched alkane structures. Based on this sequence of analyses, what is the most likely structure of compound 'Q'? Options: A. 2,2,4- Trimethylpentane B. n-Octane C. 2-Methylheptane D. 3-Ethylhexane Don't use chatgpt please provide valuable answerarrow_forwardGasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.arrow_forwardWrite the structural formula of 2-ethyl-1-butenearrow_forward
- (a) What is the difference between chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons?arrow_forwardA student adds bromine solution to a test tube containing an isomer of C3H6. After shaking the sample and exposing it to UV light, the student observes that the colour of the bromine solution changes from orange to clear. Provide a hypothesis for what happened in the test tube. What do you believe to be the structure of the original isomer, and what was the final product, if a reaction occurred?arrow_forwardDescribe structural isomerism and the different types that exist. With the aid of diagrams use the molecular formulae C5H12 and C5H10 to explain structural isomerism in aliphatic alkanes and alkenesarrow_forward
- Write the condensed structural formulas for two alkenes and one alkyne that all have the molecular formula C6H10.arrow_forwardOut of toluene, ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, t-butylbenzene, cyclohexane, and methylcyclohexane, name and draw the structure of the simplest hydrocarbon that contains at least one primary, one secondary, and one tertiary position in the same molecule. Give the total number of possible monochlorinated products (all possible constitutional isomers and stereoisomers) that could be obtained from the free radical chlorination of this compound give the structure of all the monochlorinated productarrow_forward
