Concept explainers
Interpretation:
For each part, the compound with the higher boiling point is to be identified; and the reasons for the same are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Unbranched
If the molecular weight is the same then
An alcohol of the same molecular weight has a higher boiling point than its corresponding aldehyde and ketone due to hydrogen bonding in alcohols.

- Which of the following is true about the carbon-carbon single bond in 1,3-butadiene when compared to the carbon-carbon single bond in ethane? (A) It is shorter than the carbon-carbon single bond of ethane. (B) The single bond in 1,3-butadiene has a higher %s character than in ethane The hydrogen atoms push the carbons closer using electrocyclic forces. Both A and B. (E) None of the above.arrow_forwardFor each pair of compounds, predict which one has the higher molecular dipole moment, and explain your reasoning.(a) 1-bromopropane or cyclopropanearrow_forwardWrite structural formulas for all the constitutionally isomeric compounds having the given molecular formula.(a) C4H10(b) C5H12(c) C2H4Cl2(d) C4H9Br(e) C3H9Narrow_forward

(a) Carboxylic acid chloride (b) Thiol (c) Imine (d) Aldehydearrow_forwardFor each of the following compounds, identify all groups that would be considered substituents and then indicate the systematic name for each compound. (a) (b) (d) (e)arrow_forwardGive the correct name for structures (1) and (2). (1) (2)arrow_forward
- (a) All Isomers have the same molecular formulae. Explain this further. Hint what does it mean to have the same molecular formulae? (b) What is Constitutional (structural) isomerism? Hint, isomers are different, so what is different between a pair of constitutional isomers (see the chart on the last page for examples). (c) What is Conformational isomerism?arrow_forwardQ2. Answer any TWO of the following parts: (a) Draw the two main conformations that exist for cyclohexane. Explain clearly why one conformer is more stable than the other. Using cis-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane, as an example, explain how ring flipping occurs. Draw both conformers of cis-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane and explain clearly which one predominates. (b) What is polarimetry? The specific rotation of (R)-carvone is - 61°. A chemist prepared a 750 mg mixture of (R)-carvone and its enantiomer in 10 ml of ethanol and placed the solution in a 10 cm polarimeter cell. The observed rotation was - 4.125°. Calculate the specific rotation for the above mixture. What is meant by enantiomeric excess? Then determine the % enantiomeric excess (% ee) in the mixture. (i) (ii) (iii) What % of the mixture is (R)-carvone and (S)-carvone?arrow_forwardWrite each of the following condensed structural formulas as a bond-line formula (that is, using only lines and no elemental symbols). (a) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 (b) (CH3)2CHCH2CH3arrow_forward
