Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula of the alcohols that are oxidized to prepare the given
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation of the organic compounds is the process in which there is an addition of oxygen atom or removal of hydrogen atom takes place in the organic compounds. The agents used for the oxidation reaction is known as oxidizing agents. It oxidizes the other substance and gets reduced in the reaction. The common oxidizing agents are nitric acid, oxygen, potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate.
(b)
Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula of the alcohols that are oxidized to prepare the given ketone compound has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:

(c)
Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula of the alcohols that are oxidized to prepare the given

OWLV2 FOR MOORE/STANITSKI'S CHEMISTRY:
- Halogenoalkanes undergo two different types of reaction, substitution and elimination reactions depending on the conditions. Use the reaction between 2-bromopropane and sodium hydroxide to explain the chemical reactions of haloalkanes. You must include the following in your explanation: Describe what change is taking place to the halogenoalkane and the product(s) formed. The reaction equations The conditions under which the reactions occur.arrow_forwardWhich of the following alcohols can be oxidized to a carboxylic acid? Name the carboxylic acid produced. Forthose alcohols that cannot be oxidized to a carboxylic acid,name the final product.a. Ethanol c. 1-Propanolb. 2-Propanol d. 3-Pentanolarrow_forwardWhat is the balanced chemical equation when gaseous butanol, C4H9OH, undergoes combustion?arrow_forward
- Explain oxidation and reduction with respect to organic compounds. Give an examplearrow_forward4. OH PB13arrow_forwardHow does the structure of an alcohol differ from an ether? Describe how an aldehyde differs in structure from a ketone. Thiols are compounds which resemble alcohols, except that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom. Draw the analogous thiol for the four carbon alcohol in Table 1. Describe the structural difference between carboxylic acids and esters. Are ethers polar molecules? Would you expect ethers to have higher or lower boiling points than alkanes (circle one)? Explain. Pentane (an alkane) has a boiling point of 36 °C. Does the data agree with your prediction? explain why this could be the casearrow_forward
- Compare the structural formulas of ethanol, acetate, andacetaldehyde. Which molecule is the most oxidized? Whichis the most reduced? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardHow many acids can be obtained from alcohols and aldehydes?arrow_forwardPlease draw the structures and provide the names of all the isomeric alcohols that have the molecular formula C4H10Oarrow_forward
