Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structural formula for the one pair of products has to be drawn when
(b)
Interpretation:
Generic chemical formula has to be written for the given compound.
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are a class of hydrocarbons. They are saturated hydrocarbon.
(c)
Interpretation:
Generic chemical formula has to be written for the given hydrocarbon with one
Concept introduction:
Alkenes are a class of hydrocarbons. The carbon-carbon double bond is called as alkenes and it is also called as olefins.
(d)
Interpretation:
Boiling point of the molecule has to be predicted using intermolecular force.
Concept introduction:
Boiling point:
Boiling point of the organic molecules is mainly depends on the hydrogen bonding of the molecule. If the molecule has more hydrogen bonding will have more boiling points. The molecular weight of the compound is increase the boiling point of the molecule is also increases. If the molecule contains hydrogen bond automatically the boiling point of the molecule is also increases.

Chemistry In Context
- In Example 12, the crude petroleum had an overall octane rating of 52. What is the composition of a solution of MTBE and n-heptane that has this octane rating?arrow_forwardRodriogo is trying to complete a crossword puzzle, but he's stuck on a seven letter word that begings with "org". Which of his friends will most likely be the fastest to figure out what the word is organic? A. Jay, who just finished watching a documentary about crossword puzzles B. Li, who prefers to buy organic produce when its on sale C. Tonya, whos taking organic chemistry this semester D. Trevor, who just woke up from a dream about being chased by gaint ears of cornarrow_forwardWhy are short-chain alkanes like methane and butane serve as good fuels? Please expound.arrow_forward
- Fill the table below by proving an Alkene other than Ethene and 2-pentene.arrow_forwardQuiana whose structure is shown below is a synthetic fabric that feels very much like silk. What are the structures of the two monomers that are used to make Quiana?arrow_forwardDraw the condensed structure for butane and explain the steps you have use and also explain why your answer is right.arrow_forward
- Compare and contrast organic and inorganic reactions by giving at least two examples for each type. Your explanation should include relevant mechanisms and references to actual uses in life.arrow_forwardUse the web to research the amount of PVC polymer produced annually in the United States. What are the three most common uses of this polymer?arrow_forwardAlcohols are very useful starting materials for the production of many different compounds. The following conversions, starting with 1-butanol, can be carried out in two or more steps. Show the steps (reactants/catalysts) you would follow to carry out the conversions, drawing the formula for the organic product in each step. For each step, a major product must be produced. (See Exercise 62.) (Hint: In the presence of H+, an alcohol is converted into an alkene and water. This is the exact reverse of the reaction of adding water to an alkene to form an alcohol.) a. 1-butanol butane b. 1-butanol 2-butanonearrow_forward
- What is a hydrocarbon? What is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Distinguish between normal and branched hydrocarbons. What is an alkane? What is a cyclic alkane? What are the two general formulas for alkanes? What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in alkanes? What are the bond angles in alkanes? Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive? The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. What does this name refer to? Does it mean that the carbon atoms in a straight-chain hydrocarbon really have a linear arrangement? Explain. In the shorthand notation for cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually omitted. How do you determine the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon in a ring structure?arrow_forwardThis is done by removing an unshared pair from each of two adjacent atoms and adding one electron pair as a second bond between the atoms. Each such operation reduces the number of electrons in the trial structure by two. Removing the unshared pairs of electrons on the carbon atoms and adding a second carbon–carbon bond gives a structure in which there are four electrons involved in a double bond between the carbon atoms. The trial structure now contains electrons ____ and is correct.arrow_forwardFatty acids are molecules with a carboxylic acid on one end and long hydrocarbon chain on the other. The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles. Illustrate and explain on a molecular level how multiple sodium stearate molecules can come together to trap dirt particles.arrow_forward
