- The compound decane is a straight-chain alkane. Predict the following: a.Is decane a solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature? b.Is it soluble in water? c.Is it soluble in hexane? d.Is it more or less dense than water?arrow_forwardMatch the given organic compound with uses for which it is suitable (one usage can be matched with more than one compound; briefly explain the rationale). Organic compound: a chlorinated hydrocarbon, an ether, and a methyl ester Uses: loose joints made with impact adhesives surface cleaning on solvent sensitive surfaces solvent for grease solvent for rubbery materials speed up drying of water from wet objects solvent for acidic materials analytical purposes such as gas chromatography fumigant for destroying woodworm solvent used in picture conservationarrow_forwardChoose the best appropriate name for the organic molecule. Hexene, hexanol, hexanal, heptanone, hexanone, or heptanal.arrow_forward
- A student is attempting to crack the hydrocarbon molecules in paraffin, to make shorter hydrocarbons such as ethene and octane. The student is wearing eye protection and has short hair. State and describe one of the other safety measures during this experiment that the student should consider.arrow_forwardDo impurities always lower the melting point of an organic compound? Explain.arrow_forwardConsider lisinopril, a drug used primarily in the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, and after heart attacks. (a) Name the various functional groups in lisinopril. (b) What intermolecular forces are expected to exist between molecules of lisinopril in close proximity to one another (Section 5.7)?arrow_forward
- Which of these compounds have the higher boiling point? Why? a) top two compounds b) bottom two compoundsarrow_forwardWhy does hexane have the lower boiling point than acetic acid, when in fact, hexane has a high molecular mass? Boiling point determination can be used for several purposes. What are those purposes?arrow_forwardHow do you purify a solid organic compounds?arrow_forward
- indicate and list each functional group in the molecule by drawling a arrow out from the atoms/name of group. organic molecule is Plavix generic (clopidogrel).arrow_forwardOrganic compounds have predictable chemical and physical properties determined by their respective structures. Rank the following molecules with similar numbers of carbons in terms of their boiling points ethanoic acid, ethanamine, methoxymethane, ethane, ethanamide. Explain why you expect these differences. Predict which molecule would be liquid at room temperature.arrow_forwardWhy is the number of organic compounds nearly limitless?arrow_forward
