Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The explanation of the statement, “The hydration of alkyne is not a reasonable preparative method for propanal” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

An alkyne can be converted into aldehyde and ketone by hydration reaction. In hydration reaction, mercuric ion with a dilute acid is used to carry out the reaction. Mercuric ion is used as a catalyst. After the protonation of the alkynyl carbon, the water attacks as the nucleophile and an enol is formed. Enol is unstable and converts into a stable aldehyde or ketone.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The explanation of the statement, “The hydration of alkyne is not a reasonable preparative method for 2, 2, 4, 4-tetramethylpentan-3-one” is to be stated.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The explanation of the statement, “The hydration of alkyne is not a reasonable preparative method for cyclohexanone ” is to be stated.

Photochemical smog is formed in part by the action of light on nitrogen dioxide. The wavelength of radiation absorbed by NO2 in this reaction is 197 nm.(a) Draw the Lewis structure of NO2 and sketch its π molecular orbitals.(b) When 1.56 mJ of energy is absorbed by 3.0 L of air at 20 °C and 0.91 atm, all the NO2 molecules in this sample dissociate by the reaction shown. Assume that each absorbed photon leads to the dissociation (into NO and O) of one NO2 molecule. What is the proportion, in parts per million, of NO2 molecules in this sample? Assume that the sample behaves ideally.
