- Reaction of (CH3)3CH with Cl2 forms two products: (CH3)2CHCH2Cl (63%) and (CH3)3CCl (37%). Why is the major product formed by cleavage of the stronger 1° C–H bond?arrow_forwardDissolving formaldehyde in water causes the solution to contain gem-diol CH2 (OH)2. Write down the steps for the formation of formaldehyde.arrow_forwardWrite an equation for the reaction of chloroacetic acid (Ka=1.5103) with trimethylamine (Kb=5.9105) . Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction. If 0.10 M solutions of these two species are mixed, what will be their concentrations at equilibrium?arrow_forward
- Complete and balance the following combustion reactions. Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forward5 Isopropylbenzene (C9H12) is commercially produced by Friedel–Crafts alkylation of compound H with 1-chloropropane in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride as a catalyst. CyH12 can be oxidized with strong oxidizing agent to form compound J. a) Draw the structure of H. b) Write the chemical reaction of isopropylbenzene to form compound J. c) Show the mechanism for the formation of isopropylbenzene (C,H12) from compound H. C,H¬B1+ OH¯→ C,H¬OH + NaBr The rate equation for the hydrolysis of C3H,Br with sodium hydroxide is: rate = k [C3H»Br] [OH ¯] a) Draw the structural formula of C3H¬Br. Explain your answer. b) State and show the mechanism of the reaction above. An alkyl halide E, C5H11B undergoes hydrolysis to form an alcohol F, CSH120. Alcohol F becomes cloudy immediately when reacted with a Lucas reagent. c) (i) (ii) Deduce the structures of E and F. State the type of reaction and propose the mechanism for the conversion of E to F. d) Draw the structure of the product formed…arrow_forward8. Three compounds, G, H and J are structural isomers. They have the molecular formula C3H$O. Their chemical properties are given below: React with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form yellow precipitate. G is resistant to oxidation. H is oxidised to L (C7H6O2) J is oxidised to M (C8H6O4) Write the structural formula of G, H, J, L and M. Outline one chemical test to distinguish between G and H.arrow_forward
- Compounds Y and Z both have the formula C₂H18. Both Y and Z react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methyloctane. The heat of hydrogenation of Y is less than that of Z. Y and Z each undergo hydroboration/oxidation to give a primary alcohol (OH attached to a primary carbon). What is the structure of Y? • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. 1998) 0▾ + n [F ChemDoodle aarrow_forward8) Compound A is composed of 87.4% carbon and 12.6% hydrogen and has a molar mass of 96.2 g/mol. Compound A reacts with water and sulfuric acid to produce Compound B. Compound B subsequently reacts with acidic potassium dichromate to produce a ketone. Which of the following could NOT be Compound A?: * A) 4-methxlexclohexens. B) 4-methyleyclopentene C) sxclopentyl ethene D) 1-methylcyclohexenearrow_forwardThe alkene C=C double bond and the carbonyl (C=O) group are both sp2 hybridized BUT have different chemistry. Which statement explains best this difference? A) The bond angle of the carbonyl is larger than the bond angle of the alkene and this accounts for the difference in their reactions. B) The electronegative oxygen of the C=O group makes this bond polar and this polar bond accounts for the difference in their reactions. C) The bond of the C=C is longer that the bond of the C=O and this accounts for the differences in their reactions. D) There is more steric crowding in the carbonyl than in the alkene and this accounts for the differences in their reactions.arrow_forward
