Introductory Chemistry: An Active Learning Approach
- What functional group distinguishes each of the following hydrocarbon derivatives? a. halohydrocarbons b. alcohols c. ethers d. aldehydes e. ketones f. carboxylic acids g. esters h. amines Give examples of each functional group. What prefix or suffix is used to name each functional group? What are the bond angles in each? Describe the bonding in each functional group. What is the difference between a primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol? For the functional groups in ah, when is a number required to indicate the position of the functional group? Carboxylic acids are often written as RCOOH. What does COOH indicate and what does R indicate? Aldehydes are sometimes written as RCHO. What does CHO indicate?arrow_forward4.2 What is an alkane?arrow_forwardWrite the molecular formula of each alkane.arrow_forward
- 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. This is the exact reverse of the reaction of adding water to an alkene to form an alcohol.) a. 1-butanol butane b. 1-butanol 2-butanonearrow_forwardAlcohols A, B and C all have the composition C4H 100. Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidized to a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.arrow_forwardGiven the molecular formula C5H120, give the names of a primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol with this formula. In addition, draw the skeletal structure for an ether.arrow_forward
- How does the structure of an alcohol differ from an ether? Describe how an aldehyde differs in structure from a ketone. Thiols are compounds which resemble alcohols, except that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom. Draw the analogous thiol for the four carbon alcohol in Table 1. Describe the structural difference between carboxylic acids and esters. Are ethers polar molecules? Would you expect ethers to have higher or lower boiling points than alkanes (circle one)? Explain. Pentane (an alkane) has a boiling point of 36 °C. Does the data agree with your prediction? explain why this could be the casearrow_forwardWrite the structural formula for 3-methylcyclohexanol.arrow_forward3) Give the structural formulas and the old and new IUPAC names of all eight open-chain isomeric alcohols with the molecular formula CSH11OH. Indicate which of these isomers are primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol. 4) Six isomeric saturated ethers have the molecular formula CsH120. Write the structural formula and name for each of these ethers.arrow_forward
- Write a balanced equation for the combustion of liquid propanol (C3H7OH).arrow_forwardProvide the molecular formula of an alkane that has 10 C atoms. Draw two isomers of this alkane.arrow_forwardWe see that 1-propanol and 2-propanol have the same molecular formula, C3H7OH, but different molecular structures. What is the name for molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas (different shapes)? Use the specific term.arrow_forward
