The structures of the isomeric alcohols of the formula C 4 H 10 O that could be oxidized to aldehydes and the structure of the aldehydes that can be oxidized to ketones Concept Information: Isomeric alcohol is the alcohol with the same molecular formula but having different structures. It is not necessary that their properties will be same. They can form many structures based on the position of the carbon atom. Aldehydes are the organic compounds in which carbon is double bonded to the oxygen atom, single bonded to one hydrogen atom and attached to R group either alkyl or side chains. It is represented by –CHO. Ketones are the organic compounds in which carbon atom is double bonded to oxygen and two different alkyl or carbon chains are represented as RC(=O) R'.

Solution Summary: The author explains the structure of isomeric alcohols, which can be oxidized to aldehydes, and ketones, based on the position of the carbon atom.
Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.

Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures of the isomeric alcohols of the formula C4H10O that could be oxidized to aldehydes and the structure of the aldehydes that can be oxidized to ketones
Concept Information:
Isomeric alcohol is the alcohol with the same molecular formula but having different structures. It is not necessary that their properties will be same. They can form many structures based on the position of the carbon atom.
Aldehydes are the organic compounds in which carbon is double bonded to the oxygen atom, single bonded to one hydrogen atom and attached to R group either alkyl or side chains. It is represented by –CHO.
Ketones are the organic compounds in which carbon atom is double bonded to oxygen and two different alkyl or carbon chains are represented as RC(=O) R'.
b) Certain cyclic compounds are known to be conformationally similar to carbohydrates, although they are not
themselves carbohydrates. One example is Compound C shown below, which could be imagined as adopting
four possible conformations. In reality, however, only one of these is particularly stable. Circle the conformation
you expect to be the most stable, and provide an explanation to justify your choice. For your explanation to be
both convincing and correct, it must contain not only words, but also "cartoon" orbital drawings contrasting the
four structures.

How to measure distance and calculate rate
For the titration of a divalent metal ion (M2+) with EDTA, the stoichiometry of the reaction is typically:
1:1 (one mole of EDTA per mole of metal ion)
2:1 (two moles of EDTA per mole of metal ion)
1:2 (one mole of EDTA per two moles of metal ion)
None of the above
