Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason behind the formation of a conjugate diene by dehydrohalogenation of 1,2-dibromocyclcohexane, when, generally, dehydrohalogenation of dihalides leads to alkynes instead of conjugated dienes, is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

舧 Electrophiles are electron-deficient species, which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles, which accept electron pair.

舧 Nucleophiles are electron-rich species, which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles, which donate electron pair.

舧 Free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired electron, which makes it highly chemically reactive.

舧 Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.

舧 Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.

舧 Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.

舧 The reaction in which the halide group and hydrogen group are removed to form alkene is called dehydrohalogenation.

舧 The reaction in which hydrogen is added to the compound in the presence of catalyst is known as hydrogenation.

舧 The number of moles of hydrogen absorbed will be equal to the number of double bonds.

舧 Alkynes are synthesized by dehydrohalogenation of dihalides using a strong base and a strong nucleophile via E2 elimination reaction.

舧 The linear nature of the C−C≡C−C alkyne group in a six-membered cyclic chain puts high strain on a cyclic six-membered hydrocarbon.

Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a. Compare the solution concentrations expressed as ppm Zn and ppm Zn(NO3)2. Compare the concentrations expressed as M Zn and M Zn(NO3)2 - Which units allow easy conversion between chemical species (e.g. Zn and Zn(NO3)2)? - Which units express concentrations in numbers with easily expressed magnitudes? - Suppose you have an analyte for which you don't know the molar…
