(a)
Interpretation: The
Concept introduction: An atom or group of atoms which are responsible for characteristic physical and chemical properties of the compound are collectively known as functional groups. The functional groups are the most reactive part present in the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation: The skeletal structure of a constitutional isomer of neral that should be more water soluble is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The isomers which have same molecular formula but different connectivity of atoms are constitutional isomers.
The extent to which a compound is soluble in a liquid is the solubility of the compound.
A Compound dissolves in a liquid having similar kind of intermolecular interactions. Polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and similarly non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.
(c)
Interpretation: Most electrophilic carbon atom is to be labeled.
Concept introduction: A nucleophile is defined as an electron rich species. It is also known as “nucleus loving” or “positive charge loving” species. It is a reactant that provides a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.

- "Water gas" is an industrial fuel composed of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases. When this fuel is burned, carbon dioxide and water result. From the information given below, write a balanced equation and determine the enthalpy of this reaction: CO(g) + O2(g) → CO₂(g) + 282.8 kJ H2(g) + O2(g) → H₂O(g) + 241.8 kJ MacBook Airarrow_forwardPage of 3 4. Calculate AG for the following reaction at 25°C. Will the reaction occur (be spontaneous)? How do you know? NH3(g) + HCl(g) → NH4Cl(s) AH=-176.0 kJ AS-284.8 J-K-1arrow_forwardtrue or false The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 0.20. N2O4(g) ⇔ 2NO2(g) Based on the above, the equilibrium constant for the following reaction is 5. 4NO2(g) ⇔ 2N2O4(g)arrow_forward
