- What are the functional groups present in the compound? Alcohol and carboxylic acid Alcohol and ketone Alcohol and aldehyde Alcohol and Esterarrow_forwardWrite two complete, balanced equations for each of the following reactions, one using condensed formulas and one using Lewis structures:(a) ethanol reacts with propionic acid(b) benzoic acid, C6H5CO2H, is added to a solution of sodium hydroxidearrow_forwardWhich of the following is not true of alcohols? The proof of an alcoholic beverage is twice its ethanol content. Ethanol is added to gasoline to foster its complete combustion. Methanol and isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) are toxic. Alcoholic beverages are most commonly formed by yeast fermentation of sugars. All of these are true.arrow_forward

Give the IUPAC name or common name of the isomer of 1-hexanol that has the highest vapor pressure.arrow_forwardDraw structures for the following compounds. Show all of the hydrogen atoms in the molecules. (a) ethanol (b) 2-propanol (c) 2-ethyl-5-methylcyclohexanolarrow_forwardDraw a structural formula of the product of oxidation of natural rubber by ozone followed by a workup in the presence of (CH3)2S.

- 1) Which one has isomers? methanoic acid, methane, ethene, or alcohols 2) Which of these terms describe an organic molecule with the most possible hydrogen bonds on its main chain? triple-bonded, terminal, cyclical, or saturated 3) An organic molecule consists of a chain of 8 carbons, with a double bond in the middle and an -OH group on one end. A correct name for this molecule would be Oct-4-anol, Octanol, Oct-4-enol, or Oct-4-en-1-ol 4) Which of these are not considered a functional group -OH, -CH3, -Cl or -H 5) A reaction is called an acid-catalyzed reaction. What is the name of the strong acid? oxyic acid, sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, or Ammonia acid In bold were my answers to the questions wanted to know if I have them correct.

Which one contains either an alcohol or ether? and which one has a -SH functional group?arrow_forward
- Both aldehydes and ketones contain carbonyl groups. In aldehydes, the carbonyl carbon atom is bonded to a hydrogen atom, whereas in ketones, the carbonyl carbon atom is bonded to another carbon atom. Select the true statements about aldehydes and ketones. - Ketones have lower boiling points than alcohols of similar size. - Aldehydes contain a carbon–oxygen double bond. - Butanal has a higher boiling point than 2-butanol. - Aldehydes with more than five carbon atoms are soluble in water, but not organic solvents. - Both aldehydes and ketones can hydrogen bond with water molecules. - Propanal is a gas at room temperature, whereas formaldehyde (methanal) is a liquid at room temperature.arrow_forward1a. .
