Chapter 7, Problem 48CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether the wavelength of maximum absorption in naphthalene is shorter or longer than 255 nm that is maximum absorption in benzene needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:Benzene shows resonance due to delocalization of π

electrons. The naphthalene is formed by fusion of two benzene molecules. The structure of benzene and naphthalene is represented as follows:

Indole smells terrible in high concentrations but has a pleasant floral-like odor when highly diluted. Its structure is The molecule is planar, and the nitrogen is a very weak base, with Kp = 2 × 10-12. Explain how this information indicates that the indole molecule is aromatic.
Ethanol, C2H5OH, and propane, C3H8, have approximately the same molar mass, yet ethanol has a much higher boiling point. Briefly explain why. Ethanol, C2H5OH, and dimethyl ether, CH3OCH3, have the same molar mass, yet ethanol has a much higher boiling point. Briefly explain why. Write an equation to show the reaction between ethanol, C2H5OH and methyllithium, CH3Li. Draw all non-bonding electrons and show electron flow with curved arrows. 37. Write an equation that shows the reaction between acetic acid (CH3COOH) and triethylamine (CH3CH2)3N. Draw all non-bonding lone electron pairs and show the electron flow with curved arrows.
