- Name these organic compounds: structure name CH, CH, — С — сн, CH3 CH3– CH – C= CH CH3 CH,=C- CH,arrow_forward3 Give the systematic name of the given alkene based on its semi-structural formula. CH, CH, CH3 CH, - C = CH — с %3 CH - CH, CH - - CH2 CH, Systematic name:arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship, if any, between these organic compounds?arrow_forward
- Is the compound CH3CH=CH2 saturated or unsaturated? Explain.arrow_forwardA hydrocarbon is written as, (CH3)3CC(CH3)3. Which is correct for this compound: O there are 4 carbons in the long chain 4 branches there are 2 carbons in the long chain 6 branches there are 3 carbons in the long chain 3 branches there are 4 carbons in the long chain 5 branchesarrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds has a chiral carbon atom?arrow_forward
- What is the relationship of these two structures?arrow_forwardIdentify each organic compound as an alkane, alkene, alkyne, aromatic hydrocarbon, alcohol, ether, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, or amine, and provide a name for the compound. CH3 b. CH;-CH2-CH-CH2-0-CH2-CH;arrow_forwardThe ester with the formula C8H16O2 gives an alcohol and an acid when hydrolyzed. When the alcohol is isolated and oxidized, it forms a ketone. Which of these formulas cannot be the ester?arrow_forward
- Give the IUPAC name of H2C=CHCH=CHC≡CHarrow_forwardName the compound. ÇH3 -CH3 H2C=CH-c- CH3arrow_forwardGasohol 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. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.arrow_forward
