Question
Chapter 2, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A balanced equation for the reaction between pentane and is to be written and the change or no change in oxidation state of carbon during the course of the reaction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
If the number of atoms of each element is same on both sides of the chemical equation, then the chemical equation is balanced.
Oxidation state of an atom is the formal charge on it.
Oxidation state of an atom depends on the relative electronegativity of the atoms bonded to it.

Gasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.

- Alcohols are very useful starting materials for the production of many different compounds. The following conversions, starting with 1-butanol, can be carried out in two or more steps. Show the steps (reactants/catalysts) you would follow to carry out the conversions, drawing the formula for the organic product in each step. For each step, a major product must be produced. (See Exercise 62.) (Hint: In the presence of H+, an alcohol is converted into an alkene and water.
