Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among the given solvents, the one in which DMSO is not miscible is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A compound is said to be a polar due to the presence of an electronegative atom that tends to attract the electrons closer to itself as compared to the other atom. The electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge and creates a partial positive charge on the other atom. Polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents, whereas non-polar compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given solvents, the one in which hexane is not miscible is to be identified.

- b) Below draw 2 examples for: (i) Polar protic solvent (ii) Polar aprotic solvent (iii) One example for non-polar solventarrow_forwardImagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) Phenol reacts much more quickly than benzene, and benzene reacts much more quickly that nitrobenzene. Explain this observation, using at least one appropriate reaction coordinate diagram as part of your answer (be sure to label your reaction diagram with appropriate structures). You do not need to include any complete mechanisms, but you may wish to use portions of mechanisms as part of your discussion.arrow_forward(c) A series of dialkyl ethers react with excess hydrogen bromide, with the following results. Analyze the ether in each case and write out the complete chemical equations. (1) Ether gives a mixture of bromocyclopentane and 1-bromoethane. (ii) Another ether gives one mole of 1,5-dibromopentane per mole of ether.arrow_forward
- 1. (a) Write as many chemically reasonable syntheses as you can think of for ethyl 2-methylpropyl ether (ethyl isobutyl ether). Be sure that at some point in one or more of your syntheses you utilize the following reagents (not all in the same synthesis, however): PBr3, SOCI2, p- toluenesulfonyl chloride (tosyl chloride), NaH, ethanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol (isobutyl alcohol), concentrated H2SO4, Hg(OAc)2, ethene (ethylene). (b) Evaluate the relative merits of your syntheses on the basis of selectivity and efficiency. (Decide which ones could be argued to be the "best" syntheses and which might be "poorer" syntheses.)arrow_forwardUnder certain conditions, mixing furan with maleic anhydride in diethyl ether yields a crystalline solid with a melting point of 114°C. When melting of this compound takes place; however, one can notice that the melt evolves a gas. If the melt is allowed to solidify, one finds that it no longer melts at 114°C but instead melts at 56°C. Provide an explanation for what is taking place.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. (Scheme below) (1) Ph Ph 836 Ph THF A 1 B H₂SO4 100 °C 3 OH Which of the two methods (A or B) is more likely give high yield of methylenecyclohexane 2? Briefly explain.arrow_forward
- A student was given from the list of the conmpounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test? A = haloform B = Brady A = haloform D = Brady B = haloform A = Brady B = haloform D = Brady D = haloform A = Brady D = haloform B = Bradyarrow_forwardCarbonyls make the adjacent alkyl groups more acidic. However, the presence of electron withdrawing and donating groups may give different effects on the acidity of the alkyl groups adjacent to the carbonyls. CF3 CH, CH, NR2 CH3 CH, CH, OR (1) (2) (3) (4) Arrange the above compounds from low to high acidity (or high to low) by using the symbol "" in your answer. (i) (ii) Give a reason for the most acidic compound and least acidic compound identified. O=U O=Uarrow_forwardAnswer ALL parts of this question. (a) Using resonance structures, discuss the following statement; phenols are much stronger acids than aliphatic alcohols. (b) Give the structure of a stronger organic acid than phenol. (c) Rationalise the acidity of the latter organic acid by drawing two resonance structures of the conjugate base. (d) Eugenol is a natural product derived from the dried flower buds of the evergreen tree, Eugenia aromatica. Briefly describe a procedure with reagents required to extract eugenol as a single component from the mixture of compounds present in these flower buds. OH LOCH 3 eugenolarrow_forward
