Chapter 10, Problem 7PP

Practice Problem 10.7

Chlorination reactions of certain alkanes can be used for laboratory preparations. Examples are the preparation of chlorocyclopropane from cyclopropane and chlorocyclobutane from cyclobutane. What structural feature of these molecules makes this possible?

Carbon–carbon bond dissociation enthalpies have been measured for many alkanes. Identify the alkane in each of the following pairs that has the lower carbon–carbon bond-dissociation enthalpy, and explain the reason for your choice. (a) Ethane or propane (b) Propane or 2-methylpropane (c) 2-Methylpropane or 2,2-dimethylpropane (d) Cyclobutane or cyclopentane
Compound X, C,4H12Br2, is optically inactive. On treatment with strong base, X gives hydrocarbon Y, C14H10: Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a palladium catalyst to give z (C14H14) and reacts with ozone to give one product, benzoic acid (C,Hg02). Draw the structure of compound Z. • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • Ignore alkene stereochemistry. • If more than one structure fits the description, draw them all. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. • Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. ChemDoodle
2. (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.
