Concept explainers
Interpretation:
“The condensed structural formula and IUPAC name of four structural isomers of esters having molecular formula ” should be drawn and explained.
Concept introduction:
► Isomers: Compounds which have the same molecular formula but different physical or chemical properties are known as isomers and the phenomenon is known as isomerism.
► Structural isomerism: When the isomerism is due to the difference in arrangement of atoms within the molecule without any reference to space, the phenomenon is termed as structural isomerism.
► Condensed structural formula: The complete structural formula can be abbreviated by omitting some or all of the covalent bonds and by indicating the number of identical groups attached to an atom by a subscript. This is known as condensed structural formula.
► IUPAC: The term IUPAC is International union of pure and applied chemistry. It provides the set of rules for assigning names to organic compounds.
► Rules for determining the IUPAC names
• The longest continuous chain of carbon atom is taken as the parent chain on which the various alkyl groups are considered side chain.
• Numbering is done from that side where
• If more than one functional group is present then preference is given to that functional group which is senior in the seniority table group
• If a side chain occurs more than once, the numerical prefixes di(for two), tri(for three) etc are added before the names of the group.
• When there are two identical side chains at one position, numbers are given for each.
To draw and explain: The condensed structural formula, IUPAC name of the isomers of esters having molecular formula

- For the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forwarde. f.
