Acid Base Titration

An acid-base titration is the method of quantitative analysis for determining the concentration of an acid and base by exactly neutralizing it with a standard solution of base or acid having known concentration.

Textbook Question

Chapter 14, Problem 14.78P

14-78 Consider alkenes A, B, and C. each of which has the same molecular formula, C₍.H₁₂. Alkenes B and C can each be separated into cis and trans isomers. Upon catalytic reduction using H,, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst (Ni, Pd, or Pt>, alkenes A, B, and C all give hexane as the only product. Acid- catalyzed hydration of alkene C gives one alcohol with the molecular formula C_eH₁₄O. Acid catalyzed- hydration of alkene B gives an equal mixture of two alcohols, each with the molecular formula C₆H₁₄O. Acid-catalyzed hydration of alkene C gives only a single alcohol with the molecular formula C₆H₁₄O. Propose structural formulas for alkenes A, B, and C and the alcohols formed by acid-catalyzed hydration of each, consistent with these experimental results.

Draw the line bond, condensed, and skeletal structure of the following alkenes of the cis-3-heptene. Can you help me please? I struggled.

A chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2 CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under the same conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C. Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structures of A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions.
