(a)
Interpretation: The triene that has largest heat of hydrogenation is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Conjugated diene consists of two double bonds that are separated by a single bond, whereas isolated diene also consists of two double bond but they are separated by two or more carbon atoms.
The stability of conjugated diene is more than isolated diene. Due to which the heat of hydrogenation is smaller for conjugated diene, whereas heat of hydrogenation for isolated diene is larger.
(b)
Interpretation: The triene that has smallest heat of hydrogenation is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Conjugated diene consists of two double bonds that are separated by a single bond, whereas isolated diene also consists of two double bond but they are separated by two or more carbon atoms.
The stability of conjugated diene is more than isolated diene. Due to which the heat of hydrogenation is smaller for conjugated diene, whereas heat of hydrogenation for isolated diene is larger.
(c)
Interpretation: The triene that absorbs the longest
Concept introduction: Conjugated diene consists of two double bonds that are separated by a single bond, whereas isolated diene also consists of two double bond but they are separated by two or more carbon atoms.
The energy difference between the ground and excited state decreases when number of conjugated bonds increases. Due to this absorption shifts to the longer wavelengths.
(d)
Interpretation: The triene that is most reactive in the Diels-Alder reaction is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Conjugated diene consists of two double bonds that are separated by a single bond, whereas isolated diene also consists of two double bond but they are separated by two or more carbon atoms.
The stability of conjugated diene is more than isolated diene.

Draw and label all possible isomers for [M(py)3(DMSO)2(CI)] (py = pyridine, DMSO dimethylsulfoxide).arrow_forwardThe emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
