Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hydrocarbon with molecular formula
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: The unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Chiral: Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom then the molecule is called chiral molecule.
Achiral: A molecule has superimposable mirror images are called achiral.
Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called enantiomers.
Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer.

- There are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forwardCompounds A and B are isomers of the molecular formula C9H19Br. Both yield the same alkene C in an elimination reaction. Hydrogenation of C yields the product 2,3,3,4 tetramethyl pentane. What are the structures of A, B, and C?arrow_forwardWhat alkane, with molecular formula C5H12, forms only one monochlorinated product when it is heated with Cl2?arrow_forward

Comment on its bond angles and how easily the model fitted together. Draw the boat and chair conformations of cyclohexane. Which arrangement do you think is the most stable?arrow_forward1,4-Pentadiene (CH2=CH-CH2-CH=CH2) is a liquid at room temperature and has a density of 0.66 g/mL and molar mass of 68.12 g/mol. In a laboratory experiment, 3.80 mL of this compound was treated with 4.80 mL of conc. H2SO4 (100% w/w; molar mass 98.08 g/mol). Note that the density of conc. H2SO4 is 1.84 g/mL. The resulting sulfate ester was then treated with 1.20 mL of water (molar mass 18.02 g/mol) affording, after work- up, 2,4-pentanediol (molar mass 104.15 g/mol) as the crude product. The crude product was then purified by simple distillation, which yielded 2.00 g of pure product. What is the theoretical yield of 2,4-pentanediol expressed in grams? Show calculations. What is the percentage yield of pure 2,4-pentanediol?arrow_forward
