(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of cellulose acetate.

Interpretation: The structure of cellulose acetate is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: Cellulose is the polymer of glucose. A larger number of glucose molecules combine together to form cellulose polymer.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason for cellulose acetate being soluble in organic solvents.

Interpretation: The reason for cellulose acetate is soluble in organic solvent even though cellulose is not is to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason for the given observation.

Interpretation: The reason for the disintegration of acetate blouse into a pile of white stuff on the action of acetone is to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The fact which comes true as a result of the given action.

Interpretation: The fact which results when students wear polyvinyl chloride shoes to the organic laboratory is to be stated.

Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.

Draw one product of an elimination reaction between the molecules below. Note: There may be several correct answers. You only need to draw one of them. You do not need to draw any of the side products of the reaction 'O 10 + x 也 HO + 义 Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
What are the angles a and b in the actual molecule of which this is a Lewis structure? H- :0: C=N: b Note for advanced students: give the ideal angles, and don't worry about small differences from the ideal that might be caused by the fact that different electron groups may have slightly different sizes. a = 0° b=0 X
A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more products missing from the right-hand side, but there are no reagents missing from the left-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing products to the right-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + This transformation can't be done in one step.
