Chapter 13, Problem 13.45AQAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Monohydric alcohols are primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols. Alcohols are named according to number of carbon attached to carbon bearing hydroxyl group.

Primary alcohols: The alcohol in which –OH group is attached to a primary carbon atom are called primary alcohols.

Example:

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life (5th Edition), Chapter 13, Problem 13.45AQAP , additional homework tip  1

Secondary Alcohol: The alcohol containing ---OH group attached to a secondary carbon atom are called secondary alcohol. Ex:

CH3CH2C|OHHCH3               2-Butanol

Tertiary alcohol: The alcohol containing ---OH group attached to a tertiary carbon atom are called tertiary alcohol. Example:

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life (5th Edition), Chapter 13, Problem 13.45AQAP , additional homework tip  2

Therefore we can say number of carbons attached to carbon bearing the hydroxyl group determines the type of alcohol.

Q2. Consider the hydrogenation of ethylene C2H4 + H2 = C2H6 The heats of combustion and molar entropies for the three gases at 298 K are given by: C2H4 C2H6 H2 AH comb/kJ mol‍¹ -1395 -1550 -243 Sº / J K¹ mol-1 220.7 230.4 131.1 The average heat capacity change, ACP, for the reaction over the temperature range 298-1000 K is 10.9 J K¹ mol¹. Using these data, determine: (a) the standard enthalpy change at 800 K (b) the standard entropy change at 800 K (c) the equilibrium constant at 800 K.
