Calculate the Enthalpy Change (ΔH) from average bond energies, which have been listed below in KJ/mol, for the following reaction and identify the nature of the reaction:
CH3COOH + CH3OH → CH3COOCH3 + H2O
[C‒H: 413; C‒C: 347; C=O: 745; C=C: 614; Cl‒Cl: 239, C‒O: 358; O‒H: 467]
Draw cis and trans 1,2-dichloroethylene (C2H2Cl2) and predict their relative energies
Structural Isomers: Alkanes
One of the reasons for the complexity of carbon compounds is that it can bond (catenate) with itself. Oils are mostly made up of hydrocarbons, for 'saturated' compounds, these obey the formula CnH2n+2. The empirical formula (unlike benzene) will vary with n. Now we have established C is tetrahedral, how many structural (skeletal) isomers can we find for n=6, hexane C6H14 ?
1) Sketch all the isomers. What procedure did you use to make sure you didn’t miss any ? Do you think you could you do this now for heptane C7H16 ?! (Hint: 9 different ‘skeletal’ topologies)
Note the number of possible isomers increases in highly exponential way. C10 – 75 isomers C15 – 4,347 isomers C20 - 366,319 isomers !!
