Answer to Problem 23AP
A possible structure for the hydrocarbon with molecular formula C9H12 that gives only one monobromination product C9H11Br on substitution of a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring with bromine is
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of the compound is C9H12. Benzene ring accounts for six carbons. When the three carbons remaining are arranged as three methyl groups alternatively on the benzene ring the three hydrogens on the other three carbons become equivalent. Hence upon bromination, the hydrocarbon gives only one monosubstituted product.

Arsenic (As) is extremely toxic in its many forms and oxidation states. In nature, especially in groundwater, it is found in the form of arsenate (AsO ₄ ³ ⁻ ), which can be electrochemically reduced to As ⁰ and collected at the cathode of a coulometric cell. In this case, Potentiostatic Coulometry (at 25°C) was performed in an alkaline medium (pH = 7.5 throughout the analysis) to quantify the species.
