Question
Chapter 12.7, Problem 12.21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the solubility of oil in Elastol should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The general rule for solubility is like dissolves like that means the polar solvents will dissolve polar compounds whereas non-polar solvents will dissolve non-polar compounds.

Mark the correct statements about the structural features of alkenes and alkynes. *
A- Free rotation is not possible around a double or triple bond.
B- A triple bond is shorter and stronger than a double bond.
C- A pi-bond can only form by overlap of p-orbitals on adjacent atoms if these atoms are from the same element.
D- The pi-bond in an alkene is weaker than the sigma bond because the sideways overlap of p-orbitals is less than the head-to-head overlap of sp² hybrid orbitals.
E- All the bond angles in an alkyne are 180°.
14. One way of naming ethers is to name the two alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom in
alphabetical order and add the word ether. If the two alkyl groups are the same, we use the prefix
di-, for example, as in dimethyl ether. Write bond-line structural formulas for (a.) diethyl ether, (b.)
ethyl propyl ether, and (c.) ethyl isopropyl ether. What name would give to
OMe
(d)
(e)
and
(f) CH;OCGH5?

- Gasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane.

Dehydration: 2. Oxidation: This is a reaction where an alcohol loses a water molecule to form an alkene. For example, when ethanol is treated with an acidic catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, it undergoes dehydration to form ethene (CH2=CH2) and water. ALCOHOLS In this reaction, an alcohol is converted to either a carbonyl compound or a carboxylic acid. 3. Esterification: Types of Reaction (s) For example, primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, while secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols are usually not affected by oxidations 4. Substitution: The conversion of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to an ester and water, in the presence of an acid catalyst.
