Question

Consider the given data (Solubility Tests, Solubility Group, Chemical Tests, and Functional Group) in the experiment.

  • Based on the results of the solubility tests and chemical tests, what is the most probable structure of C4H6O2? Draw your answer. You may draw the compound using line-bond formula OR Lewis structure.
Table 1. Data on the results of solubility tests for C4H&O2 Observations Clear, colorless solution Blue litmus paper turned red Solubility Test 10% NaOH Litmus paper test (indicate if acidic, basic, or neutral) distilled water 10% NaHCO; + or - acidic clear, colorless solution rapid production of bubbles; clear, colorless solution + Table 2. Data on the results of chemical tests for C4H602. Solubility Test Ninhydrin test iodoform test Br2/CH2C12 (dark) Molisch test Tollen's Test + or - Observations no colored spots on filter paper clear pale-yellow solution clear red-orange solution turbid colorless solution clear, colorless solution Solubility Group Description Compounds with 5 carbons or less and containing either oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. Increasing the carbon chain to six or more decreases solubility in water. Branching increases solubility in water. I If the aqueous solution is neutral, the compound is most probably a low- molecular-weight alcohols, aldehyde, or ketone. Soluble in both water and ether If the aqueous solution is acidic, the compound is most probably a low- molecular-weight carboxylic acid or a sulfonicacid. If the aqueous solution is basic, the compound is most probably a low- molecular- weight amine. Functional group: Carboxylic Acid
