- Give one reason why benzene can act as an acid in the following reaction,arrow_forward1. Write the skeletal structures of propanal, acetone and cyclohexanone. What is the major intermolecular force (IMF) found in them? Based on their major intermolecular force and molecular weight, what can you predict on their solubility in water? Chemical Name Skeletal Structures Major IMF Solubility in water Propanal Acetone Cyclohexanone 2. What is the purpose of Tollens’ test (Part B)? What is the evidence of a positive result? 3. What is the purpose of oxidation test (Part C)? What is the evidence of a positive result?arrow_forwardArrange the compounds from most soluble in water to least soluble in water. The carboxyl group (−COOH)(−COOH) has the structure shown.arrow_forward
- explain why on addition of 1 mol of NaCl to 1 litre of water, the boiling point of water increases, while addition of 1 mol of methyl alcohol to one litre of water decreases its boiling point.arrow_forwardAccount for the fact that one carboxyl group is a considerably stronger acid than the other carboxyl group.arrow_forwardPhenols are aromatic rings with an alcohol functional group attached directly to the ring. These compounds have unique acidity and solubility for alcohol groups. Predict the solubility of this phenol in water.arrow_forward
- Aspirin is prepared by the reaction of salicylic- acid with acetic anhydride as shown in the following equation. The stoichiometry of the reaction is given in the equation. Acetic acid is a by-product of the reaction and must be separated and removed so that aspirin can then be sold as a pure product. How many grams of aspirin can be prepared from 120 grams of salicylic acid? Assume that there is an excess of acetic anhydride. (Chapter 4) Acetylsalieylic acid (Aspirin)arrow_forward7.

- The amount of tartaric acid is responsible for the tartness of wine and controls the acidity of the wine. Tartaric acid also plays a very significant role in the overall taste, feel and color of a wine. Tartaric acid is a diprotic organic acid The chemical formula for tartaric acid is C4H6O6 and its structural formula is HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H. A 50.00 mL sample of a white dinner wine required 21.48 mL of 0.03776 M NaOH to achieve a faint pink color. Express the acidity of the wine in terms of grams of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6 (M. M. = 150.10) per 100 mL of wine. Assume that the two acidic hydrogens are titrated at the end point. MM H2C4H4O6 = 150.10 MM NaOH = 40.00 Below is the balanced chemical equation for this titration.arrow_forwardTrue or False: Carboxylic acids containing six or more carbon atoms per molecule are more soluble indiethyl ether than in water.arrow_forwardWhich of the following gives the proper order for increasing solubility in water? * O Hexane < diethyl ether < butanol O Diethyl ether < hexane < butanol O Butanol < hexane < diethyl ether Diethyl ether < butanol < hexane O Hexane < butanol < diethyl ether octanoic acid is insoluble in water, soluble in NaOH and NaHCO3 O soluble in water and ether O insoluble in water and NaOH, soluble in HCl O insoluble in water, NaOH HCl and H2s04arrow_forward
