- The sex attractant of the female tiger moth is an alkane of molecular formula C 18H 38. Is this molecule an acyclic alkane or a cycloalkane?arrow_forwardIf you used a bromine test to distinguish between hexane and 2-hexene, in which the red color of bromine persist?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
- Give the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon containingsix carbon atoms that is (a) a cyclic alkane, (b) a cyclicalkene, (c) a linear alkyne, (d) an aromatic hydrocarbon.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_forwardDraw the structures of all monobromo derivatives of 2-methylpentane, C6H13Br, which have the bromine on a primary carbon.arrow_forward
- draw the structure of all monobromo derivatives of pentane, C5H11Br, which contain a 4 carbon chainarrow_forwardIs the reaction between an alkene and a halogen a substitution reaction or some other reaction? Explain the reaction mechanism by giving an example.arrow_forwardA compound with formula C7H12O is treated with sodium borohydride in methanol to yield 2,2-dimethylcylopentanol. Write a reaction scheme showing the structures of the reactant, the reagents, and the product. Will the product be optically active? Explain.arrow_forward
- Draw the structures and give the name of the 8 constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C9H12 that contain a benzene ring.arrow_forwardDraw 10 structural isomers of C5H10O that contain a ring.arrow_forwardOne mole of an unknown hydrocarbon, compound C, in the presence of a platinum catalyst, adds 98.9 L of hydrogen, measured at 744 mm Hg and 22 degrees C , to form a saturated alkane which contains one ring. When one mole of compound C is reacted with ozone, followed by reduction with (CH3)2S , four moles of only one product was formed, whose condensed molecular formula is CHO -CHO. Give the structure of compound C. Explain your reasoningarrow_forward
