Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason why the use of such names as “isopropanol” and “tert-butanol” are being wrong is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
There are two classes of nomenclature. These are functional class and substitutive class.
Functional class nomenclature is the common system of nomenclature.
Substitutive class nomenclature is the IUPAC system of nomenclature.
Answer to Problem 1PP
Solution: A mixture of functional and substitutive class.
Explanation of Solution
The given names consist of two systems of nomenclature. These are functional class and substitutive systems. However, if functional class is considered, then the names are isopropyl alcohol and tert-butyl alcohol. On the other hand, if substitutive class is considered, then the compounds have the names as 2-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol. The names “isopropanol” and “tert-butanol” does not belong to any of these class. Hence, the use of such names is wrong.

- (a) Although phenoxide ion has more number of resonating structures than carboxylate ion, carboxylic acid is a stronger acid than phenol. Give two reasons.(b) How will you bring about the following converstions?(i) Propanone to propane (ii) Benzoyl chloride to benzaldehyde(iii) Ethanal to but-2-enalarrow_forward(a) When bromine is added to two beakers, one containing phenyl iso propyl ether and the other containing cyclohexene, the bromine color in both beakers disappears. What observation could you make while performing this test that would allow you to distinguish the alkene from the aryl ether? (b) Write any three methods in detail for the preparation of aldehyde from primary alcohol. (c) State the clemmenson reduction.arrow_forward(2) (1) CH3 -CH2 CH3 This ether can, in principle, be synthesized by two different combinations of haloalkane and metal alkoxide.

- (a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Benzoic acid and Phenol (ii) Benzaldehyde and Acetophenone(b) An organic compound with molecular formula C5H10O does not reduce Tollen’s reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and gives a positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation, it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. Identify the compound and write all chemical equations for the reactions.arrow_forwardCompound 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. ChemDoodlearrow_forward(a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between compounds in the following pairs of substances :(i) Ethanol and Propanal (ii) Benzoic acid and Ethyl benzoate(b) An organic compound contains 69.77% carbon, 11.63% hydrogen and rest oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86. It does not reduce Tollen’s reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and gives positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation it gives ethanoic and propanoic acids. Derive the structure of the compound.arrow_forward

(ii) There are two –NH2 groups in semicarbazide. However, only one –NH2 group is involved in the formation of semicarbazones. (iii) Benzoic acid is less soluble in water than acetic acid. (iv) Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.arrow_forward1. For each pair of compounds, predict which compound has the higher boiling point.
