Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compound
Concept introduction:
A solvent is classified in three categories, which are protic or aprotic, polar or apolar and a donor or a nondonor.
A protic solvent is defined as a molecule one that acts as a hydrogen-bond donor, whereas aprotic solvent is not hydrogen-bond donor.
A polar solvent has a high value of dielectric solvent
A donor solvent is one that acts as a Lewis base. It contains atoms such as oxygen or nitrogen that are capable of donating their unshared pair of electrons. A nondonor solvent is not a Lewis base.

- (a) Give a seperate chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:(i) Ethanol and Phenol (ii) 2-Pentanol and 3-Pentanol(b) Explain Kolbe’s reaction with the help of suitable example.arrow_forwardUse bond-dissociation enthalpies (Table 4-2, p. 167) to calculate values of ∆H° for the following reactions. (a) CH3¬CH3 + I2 ¡ CH3CH2I + HI(b) CH3CH2Cl + HI ¡ CH3CH2I + HCl(c) (CH3)3C¬OH + HCl ¡ (CH3)3C¬Cl + H2O (d) CH3CH2CH3 + H2 ¡ CH3CH3 + CH4 (e) CH3CH2OH + HBr ¡ CH3CH2¬Br + H2Oarrow_forward2. (a) The heat of combustion of liquid benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is -3393 kJ/mole, and that of liquid 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one (C₂H6O) is -3470 kJ/mole. Assume that both combustions result in products, CO2 and H₂O, that are entirely in the gas phase. Using the standard chemical equation for the combustion of a hydrocarbon, find the heats of formation (in kJ/mol) for both benzaldehyde and 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one in the liquid phase. (b) Consider the isomerization from 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one to benzaldehyde. What is the enthalpy change (in kJ/mol) for this reaction? Is it endothermic or exothermic? (c) If ArxnS = -18 J/mol-K for the isomerization reaction, find ArxnG at 350 K (in kJ/mol) and determine if it is spontaneous in the liquid phase at this temperature. For this calculation, you may assume that ArxnH and ArxnS are constant between 300 and 350 K.arrow_forward

- Although benzene is normally written with three double bonds, benzene is not reactive towards many reagents that alkenes normally react with. This lack of reactivity can be explained by the unusual stability created by cyclic conjugation. (i) describe at least one of the physical properties of benzene that demonstrates how the true structure of benzene does match the way the structure is normally written (ii) explain how the unusual stability of benzenecan demonstrated by its thermodynamic properties through some form of experiment. (iii) include an appropriately labeled diagram as part of your answer (you do not have to quote any numerical values)arrow_forward(B). Write the chemical reactions of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane with the following two sets of reagents/experimental conditions given below. In each case, denote the type of the chemical reaction: (i). NaOH/H2O/heat: (ii). NaOH/CH3CH2OH/heat:arrow_forward(a) Tsomane and Nyiko were given a task of synthesising methylenecyclohexane 2. After a brief discussion with each other, Tsomane proposed Method A to synthesise 2 from cyclohexanone 1 while Nyiko proposed Method B that started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. Each student believed that their proposed method is better than the other.
