Chapter 8, Problem 8.11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for molecular weight of perfluromethylcyclohexane is three times that of methylcyclohexane, but its boiling point is lower than that of methylcyclohexane has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Density of haloalkanes is more as halogens have larger mass-to-volume.

The carbon-halogen bond of alkyl halide is polarised.

Dipole moment increases, as the electronegativity of halogen and bond length increases.

Haloalkanes in liquid state has a combination of attractive forces, termed as van der Waals forces.

Consider the compounds 1-pentanol,CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH, melting point -78C boiling point 138C, MW=88.15. 1,6-hexanediol ,HO-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH, mp 42C,bp=250C.MW=118.18. The compound 1,6-hexanediol is more soluble in water than 1-pentanol is. This is because 1,6-hexanediol.... 1) has more carbon atoms 2)has a higher molecular weight  3)has more -OH groups 4)is a solid at room temperature
Brainberene, a compound isolated from an organic chemist’s brain, has the molecular formula C16 H26.  When Brainberene is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation using an excess of hydrogen, 1 mol of Brainberene absorbs 3 mol of hydrogen and produces B: C16 H32.  1) What is the element of unsatuation (IHD) of Brainberene?  2) How many double bonds and rings do Brainberene has? Laboratory experiments revealed that Brainberene has no triple bonds. 3) What is the IHD of B? d) How many double bonds and rings does B has? 12
Measure the C-C-C and C-C-H bond angles in the energy-minimized model of cyclohexene and compare them with those predicted by VSEPR. Explain any differences.
