Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: An example of a reaction that produces primary alcohol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : Primary alcohol is the alcohol which is bonded to a primary carbon, that is, the carbon which is bonded to only one carbon atom. Structure of primary alcohol is,
(b)
Interpretation: An example of a reaction that produces secondary alcohol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : Secondary alcohol is the alcohol which is bonded to a secondary carbon, that is, the carbon which is bonded to two other carbon atoms. Structure of secondary alcohol is,
(c)
Interpretation: An example of a reaction that produces tertiary alcohol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : Tertiary alcohol is the alcohol which is bonded to a tertiary carbon, that is, a carbon which is bonded to three other carbon atoms. Structure of tertiary alcohol is,
(d)
Interpretation: An example of a reaction that produces
Concept Introduction: Aldehyde is a
Where, R is any alkyl group.
(e)
Interpretation: An example of a reaction that produces
Concept Introduction: Ketone is a functional group in which two alkyl groups are attached to the carbonyl carbon. So, the structure of ketone is,
R1 and R2 are two alkyl groups which may be same or not.
(f)
Interpretation: An example of a reaction that produces
Concept Introduction: Carboxylic acid is a functional group in which one alkyl group and one alchol group is bonded to the carbonyl carbon. The structure of the carboxylic group is,
Where, R is alkyl group.
(g)
Interpretation: An example of a reaction that produces ester needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Ester is a derivative of carboxylic acid and it’s structure is,
Where R is any alkyl group
The reaction of carboxylic acid with an alcohol in presence of acid catalyst produces an ester along with water. This type of reaction is termed as Fischer esterification reaction.

Draw monomer units of the following products and draw their reaction mechanism (with arrow pushing) | Bakelite like polymer Using: Resorcinol + NaOH + Formalinarrow_forwardQuestion 19 0/2 pts 3 Details You have a mixture of sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) dissolved in water and want to separate out the Cl- ions by precipitating them out using silver ions (Ag+). The chemical equation for the net ionic reaction of NaCl and KCl with silver nitrate, AgNO3, is shown below. Ag+(aq) + Cl(aq) → AgCl(s) The total mass of the NaCl/KCl mixture is 1.299 g. Adding 50.42 mL of 0.381 M solution precipitates out all of the Cl-. What are the masses of NaCl and KCl in the mixture? Atomic masses: g: Mass of NaCl g: Mass of KCL Ag = 107.868 g mol- 1 Cl = 35.453 g mol- 1 K = 39.098 g mol- N = 14.007 g mol−1 Na = 22.99 g mol−1 0 = 15.999 g mol 1 Question Help: ✓ Message instructor Submit Questionarrow_forwardPart 1.

- Identify the missing starting materials/ reagents/ products in the following reactions. Show the stereochemistry clearly in the structures, if any. If there is a major product, draw the structures of the major product with stereochemistry clearly indicated where applicable. Show only the diastereomers (you do not have to draw the pairs of enantiomers). If you believe that multiple products are formed in approximately equal amounts (hence neither is the major product), draw the structures of the products, and show the detailed mechanism of these reactions to justify the formation of the multiple products. If you believe no product is formed, explain why briefly. (6 mark for each, except f and g, which are 10 mark each)arrow_forward3.
