Answer to Problem 14.49UTC
Solution:
The condensed structural formulas with IUPAC name for the carboxylic acids with the molecular formula C4H8O2are as follows:
Given:
The molecular formula of the
Explanation of Solution
The given formula can be generalized as CnH2nO2 which represents carboxylic acid. Two isomers for this acid can be chain isomers which differ in chain length. The longest chain in the first isomer is 4 carbon chains starting from the carboxylic carbon. Hence, it is named as butanoic acid. In the second isomer, the longest carbon chain is three carbon chain with a substituent on the second carbon starting from the carboxylic carbon. So, the second isomer is named as 2-methylpropanoic acid.
Thus, the condensed formula ofgiven carboxylic acid with the IUPAC name are as follows:

- Nonearrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardWhat spectral features allow you to differentiate the product from the starting material? Use four separate paragraphs for each set of comparisons. You should have one paragraph each devoted to MS, HNMR, CNMR and IR. 2) For MS, the differing masses of molecular ions are a popular starting point. Including a unique fragmentation is important, too. 3) For HNMR, CNMR and IR state the peaks that are different and what makes them different (usually the presence or absence of certain groups). See if you can find two differences (in each set of IR, HNMR and CNMR spectra) due to the presence or absence of a functional group. Include peak locations. Alternatively, you can state a shift of a peak due to a change near a given functional group. Including peak locations for shifted peaks, as well as what these peaks are due to. Ideally, your focus should be on not just identifying the differences but explaining them in terms of functional group changes.arrow_forward
- Nonearrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardIn the solid state, oxalic acid occurs as a dihydrate with the formula H2C2O4 C+2H2O. Use this formula to calculate the formula weight of oxalic acid. Use the calculated formula weight and the number of moles (0.00504mol) of oxalic acid in each titrated unknown sample recorded in Table 6.4 to calculate the number of grams of pure oxalic acid dihydrate contained in each titrated unknown sample.arrow_forward
- 1. Consider a pair of elements with 2p and 4p valence orbitals (e.g., N and Se). Draw their (2p and 4p AO's) radial probability plots, and sketch their angular profiles. Then, consider these orbitals from the two atoms forming a homonuclear л-bond. Which element would have a stronger bond, and why?

Explain, using resonance structures, why the meta isomer is formed. Draw possible resonance structures for ortho, meta and para.arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
