Mineral oil and Vaseline are both mixtures of alkanes, but mineral oil is a liquid at room temperature and Vaseline is a solid. Which product is composed of alkanes that contain a larger number of carbon atoms? Explain your choice.
Gasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.
Some polymers are copolymers, formed from two different alkene monomers joined together.
An example
is Saran, the polymer used in the well known plastic food wrap.
What two
alkene monomers combine to form Saran?

Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism?

- Organic compounds may have characteristic odors as well as other characteristic physical properties. For example, the distinct odor of the seashore at low tide results in part from the presence of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), a molecule with a similar structure to dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH), also called mercaptan, is an isomer of dimethyl sulfide with a much less pleasant odor.The table lists four related compounds and their enthalpies of vaporization (ΔH°vap) in kJ/mol.
