Question
Chapter 23, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the given compound is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Oleic acid is a monosaturated omega-9 fatty acid that occurs naturally as a solid fat and oil and is from both plant and animal source. Like other fats, it is insoluble in water.
The process through which the transformation of one molecule into another molecule having exactly the same molecular formula is known as isomerization.

Give reasons:
(i) Bond length of C = O in carboxylic acids is slightly larger than C = O bond length in carbonyl compounds.
(ii) There are two –NH2 groups in semicarbazide. However, only one –NH2 group is involved in the formation of semicarbazones.
(iii) Benzoic acid is less soluble in water than acetic acid.
(iv) Formic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.
Hw.25.
Give reasons :(a) Aniline is a weaker base than cyclohexyl amine.(b) It is difficult to prepare pure amines by ammonolysis of alkyl halides.
