An unidentified organic compound contains C, H and O atoms only. When 1.15grams of this unknown organic compound was subjected to combustion analysis, it produced 2.20 grams of CO2 and 1.35 grams of H20. 1. Determine the empirical and molecular formulas of this organic compound (the molar mass is 46.00 g/mol). 2. Draw the two possible isomers of this organic compound and name them. How can mass spectrometry be used to identify which isomer the unidentified organic compound is?

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-butanone
