Chapter 12.3, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason as to why heats of hydrogenation cannot be used to determine the relative stability of 2-methylpent-2-ene and 3-methylpent-1-ene is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Hydrogenation reaction is exothermic in nature due to the fact that the bonds are stronger in product than in reactant. Heat of hydrogenation can be used as measure for relative stability of alkenes when they are reduced to same alkane. Higher the stability of alkene, lower is the heat of hydrogenation.

The major product of the following reaction exists as two stereoisomers. Draw both isomers: show all hydrogen atoms in the structures. Use wedge and dash bonds to indicate the stereochemistry (you don’t need to draw wedge and dash bonds for C-H bonds of CH3 and CH2 groups). Assign stereo configuration of the asymmetric carbon atoms and write the relationship between two isomers.
Estimate the heat released when ethene(CH2=CH2) reacts with HBr to giveCH3CH2Br. Bond enthalpies areC-H : 412 kJ/mol; C-C : 348 kJ/mol;C=C : 612 kJ/mol; C-Br : 276 kJ/mol;Br-Br : 193 kJ/mol; H-Br : 366 kJ/mol. Choose the correct answer:1. 1036 kJ/mol2. 58 kJ/mol3. 424 kJ/mol4. 200 kJ/mol5. 470 kJ/mol
