Concept Introduction:
A
In a chemical reaction, the substance which is involved in conversion is said to be reactant whereas the newly formed substance is known as a product. Both reactants and products must be separated by an arrow.
The oxidation reaction is the reaction that involves the addition of O atom in the presence of certain oxidizing agents such as

Answer to Problem 14.69P
Explanation of Solution
To get the oxidized product of any alcohol, three steps must be followed;
- Locate the C atom in the parent chain that is bonded with −OH group.
- Convert that C atom to carbonyl C atom or
carboxylic acid as it is overall removal of H atoms. - Primary alcohols are oxidized to
aldehyde which further oxidized to a carboxylic acid. - Secondary alcohols are oxidized to a
ketone (R2CO). - Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized as they do not have H atom on the C with the −OH group.
Hence, the oxidization of 1-octanol will form octanoic acid molecule as 1-octanol is a primary alcohol.

Answer to Problem 14.69P
2-ethyl-2-propanol cannot oxidize as it is a tertiary alcohol.
Explanation of Solution
To get the oxidized product of any alcohol, three steps must be followed;
- Locate the C atom in the parent chain that is bonded with −OH group.
- Convert that C atom to carbonyl C atom or carboxylic acid as it is the overall removal of H atoms.
- Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehyde which further oxidized to the carboxylic acid.
- Secondary alcohol is oxidized to ketone (R2CO).
- Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized as they do not have H atom on the C with the −OH group.
Hence 2-ethyl-2-propanol cannot oxidize as it is a tertiary alcohol.

- 30. We will derive the forms of the molecular partition functions for atoms and molecules shortly in class, but the partition function that describes the translational and rotational motion of a homonuclear diatomic molecule is given by Itrans (V,T) = = 2πmkBT h² V grot (T) 4π²IKBT h² Where h is Planck's constant and I is molecular moment of inertia. The overall partition function is qmolec Qtrans qrot. Find the energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Helmholtz free energy for the translational and rotational modes of 1 mole of oxygen molecules and 1 mole of iodine molecules at 50 K and at 300 K and with a volume of 1 m³.
