Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Draw all the structural and geometric isomers of pentene, C5H10, that have an unbranched hydrocarbon chain.arrow_forward(a) When a compound containing C, H, and O is completelycombusted in air, what reactant besides the hydrocarbonis involved in the reaction? (b) What products form in thisreaction? (c) What is the sum of the coefficients in the balancedchemical equation for the combustion of one mole ofacetone, C3H6O(l), in air?arrow_forwardWrite the polymerization reaction in which acetylene (C2H2) produces polyacetylene. Show the structural formulae of the monomers and the polymer.arrow_forward
- 1. Write equations for the substitution of hydrogen by bromine in methane.2. Write the reaction for the combustion of ethane.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_forwardFor the four classes of hydrocarbons (Alkane, Alkene, Alkyne, Arene): Give a structural formula example of each, or identify the characteristic bond that is present.arrow_forward
- Write a balanced chemical reaction for the incomplete combustion of pentane, C5H12C5H12 in oxygen gas to form carbon monoxide gas as one of the products.arrow_forwardEnter the molecular formula for butane, C4H10?arrow_forwardDraw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomersarrow_forward
- Is cis,trans isomerism possible in alkanes?arrow_forwardGlucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.arrow_forward
