Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula of the alcohols that are oxidized to prepare the given
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation of the organic compounds is the process in which there is an addition of oxygen atom or removal of hydrogen atom takes place in the organic compounds. The agents used for the oxidation reaction is known as oxidizing agents. It oxidizes the other substance and gets reduced in the reaction. The common oxidizing agents are nitric acid, oxygen, potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate.
(b)
Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula of the alcohols that are oxidized to prepare the given ketone compound has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula of the alcohols that are oxidized to prepare the given

- b) Ho わ-fャコーfつ Koc 5. Complete the following oxidation reactions for alcohols. Draw the structure of the product. Name the reactant and identify the type of compound formed in the product. CHっーCHューC OH b) CHy CH3arrow_forwardWrite the structural formula for propylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol. Why is it classified as an alcohol? Is it a polar molecule? Should it be miscible with water?arrow_forwardWrite the names and draw the structures for common alcohols.arrow_forward
- Which of the following alcohols can be oxidized to a carboxylic acid? Name the carboxylic acid produced. Forthose alcohols that cannot be oxidized to a carboxylic acid,name the final product.a. Ethanol c. 1-Propanolb. 2-Propanol d. 3-Pentanolarrow_forwardDefine the process of determining Intermolecular Forces in Organic Compounds ?arrow_forward4. OH PB13arrow_forward
- How does the structure of an alcohol differ from an ether? Describe how an aldehyde differs in structure from a ketone. Thiols are compounds which resemble alcohols, except that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom. Draw the analogous thiol for the four carbon alcohol in Table 1. Describe the structural difference between carboxylic acids and esters. Are ethers polar molecules? Would you expect ethers to have higher or lower boiling points than alkanes (circle one)? Explain. Pentane (an alkane) has a boiling point of 36 °C. Does the data agree with your prediction? explain why this could be the casearrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones can be named in a systematic way by counting the number of carbon atoms (including the carbonyl carbon) that they contain. The name of the aldehyde or ketone is based on the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbon atoms. The ending -al for aldehyde or -one for ketone is added as appropriate. Draw the structural formulas for 2-penta-none.arrow_forwardDescribe the difference between an aldehyde and a ketone, and indicate how each differs from an alcohol.arrow_forward
- Compare the structural formulas of ethanol, acetate, andacetaldehyde. Which molecule is the most oxidized? Whichis the most reduced? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardExplain what is meant by oxidation in organic moleculesand provide an example of an oxidation reaction involving an aldehydearrow_forwardPlease draw the structures and provide the names of all the isomeric alcohols that have the molecular formula C4H10Oarrow_forward
