Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ozonolysis of o-xylene yielded three products, glyoxal, 2,3-butanedione and pyruvaldehyde in 3:1:2 ratio. What conclusion can be obtained about the structure of o-xylene from this observation is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

During ozonolysis double bonds present in compounds gets cleaved to give carbonyl compounds. Each carbon in the double bond gets bonded to an oxygen atom. As the benzene ring can be represented by two different resonance forms during ozonolysis, compounds with substituent groups on the benzene ring yield different products. The final ratio in which different products will be formed can be arrived at by considering the products of the ozonolysis of different resonance forms of the reactant.

To state:

What conclusion can be obtained about the structure of o-xylene from the observation that upon ozonolysis it yielded three products, glyoxal, 2,3-butanedione and pyruvaldehyde in 3:1:2 ratio.

One liter of N2(g) at 2.1 bar and two liters of Ar(g) at 3.4 bar are mixed in a 4.0 liter flask to form an ideal gas mixture.  Calculate the value of the final pressure of the mixture if the initial and final temperature of the gases are the same.  Repeat this calculation if the initial temperature of the N2(g) and Ar(g) are 304 K and 402 K, respectively, and the final temperature of the mixture is 377 K.
