Anethole, the major constituent of anise oil, is used in licorice-flavored sweets and flavored brandy. Answer the following questions using the ball-and-stick model of anethole.
- What is the molecular formula of anethole?
(a)
Interpretation:
The molecular formula of anethole should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The numbers and kinds of atoms present in a molecule of a compound are given by a formula said to be a molecular formula. This formula of a molecule gives the definite number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Answer to Problem 13.29P
The molecular formula of anethole is C10H12O.
Explanation of Solution
The given ball-and-stick model of anethole is:
In ball-and-stick model, the black ball represents carbon, C atom, white ball represents hydrogen, H atom, and red ball represents oxygen, O atom.
The number of each atom in the ball-and-stick model is:
Carbon atoms = 10
Hydrogen atoms = 12
Oxygen atom = 1
Thus, the molecular of anethole is C10H12O.
(b)
Interpretation:
The functional group(s) in anethole should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A group of atoms or an atom which is responsible for the characteristic reactions of a particular compound is said to be the functional group. Every functional group shows distinctive chemical properties irrespective to the moiety to which it is attached.
Answer to Problem 13.29P
The functional group(s) in anethole is ether.
Explanation of Solution
The given ball-and-stick model of anethole is:
When the oxygen atom is connected to two alkyl or aryl groups with general formula R-O-R' such class of compounds is known as ether.
Since, in anethole compound the oxygen atom is bonded to an aryl and an alkyl group so, the functional group(s) in anethole is ether.
(c)
Interpretation:
The carbon-carbon double bond in anethole should be labeled as cis or trans.
Concept Introduction:
The molecule with same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangements of atoms in the molecule are said to be geometric isomers of each other.
Answer to Problem 13.29P
The carbon-carbon double bond in anethole is labeled as trans.
Explanation of Solution
The given ball-and-stick model of anethole is:
Geometric isomerism, or cis-trans, isomerism is most common in alkenes. The two forms exist due to no free rotation about carbon-carbon double bond. It exists only when the double bonded carbon atoms are joined to two different groups or atoms.
In cis- isomer, the two identical groups or atoms are close to each other whereas in trans- isomer two identical groups or atoms are farther apart.
Since, in the given molecule the groups attached to carbon-carbon double bonded are farther apart from each other so, the carbon-carbon double bond in anethole is trans.
(d)
Interpretation:
The structure of anethole should be drawn and each carbon should be labeled as trigonal planar or tetrahedral.
Concept Introduction:
In structural formula, the bonding and type of bonds which holds the atoms in molecule together are shown.
Answer to Problem 13.29P
The structure of anethole is:
Labelling of each carbon is:
Explanation of Solution
The given ball-and-stick model of anethole is:
In ball-and-stick model, the black ball represents carbon, C atom, white ball represents hydrogen, H atom, and red ball represents oxygen, O atom.
So, the structure of anethole is:
In the structure of anethole, there are 10 C atoms, 2 of which them are in CH3- groups which has four electron groups around the central carbon atom, so the electron group arrangement is tetrahedral, sp3hybridized. The 8 carbon atoms have three electron groups around the central carbon atom, so the electron group arrangement is trigonal planar, sp2hybridized.
Thus, the electron group arrangement of all the 10 carbon atoms in anethole is:

- Using the Arrhenius equation, it is possible to establish the relationship between the rate constant (k) of a chemical reaction and the temperature (T), in Kelvin (K), the universal gas constant (R), the pre-exponential factor (A) and the activation energy (Ea). This equation is widely applied in studies of chemical kinetics, and is also widely used to determine the activation energy of reactions. In this context, the following graph shows the variation of the rate constant with the inverse of the absolute temperature, for a given chemical reaction that obeys the Arrhenius equation. Based on the analysis of this graph and the concepts acquired about the kinetics of chemical reactions, analyze the following statements: I. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the temperature of the system. II. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the concentration of the reactants. III.

Arsenic (As) is extremely toxic in its many forms and oxidation states. In nature, especially in groundwater, it is found in the form of arsenate (AsO ₄ ³ ⁻ ), which can be electrochemically reduced to As ⁰ and collected at the cathode of a coulometric cell. In this case, Potentiostatic Coulometry (at 25°C) was performed in an alkaline medium (pH = 7.5 throughout the analysis) to quantify the species.
