a) Alcohol
Interpretation:
The number of isomers of the following compounds is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ethanol, also called alcohol, ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol and drinking alcohol, is a chemical compound, a simple alcohol with the chemical formula, C2H5OH (CnH2n+1OH). In alcohol, an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl group and is often abbreviated as EtOH. Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a slight characteristic odour. It is a psychoactive substance and is the principal type of alcohol found in alcoholic drinks.
b) Bromoalkane

- For the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forwarde. f.
