Question
Chapter 4, Problem 7Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
How grades of coal differ has to be described and the significance of these differences has to be provided.
Concept Introduction:
A fuel is a substance which releases energy in the form of heat while undergoing combustion. Hydrocarbons which have high heats of combustion make it a best fuel.
Coal is a good fuel becouse it is completely made up of carbon atoms. It is a fossil fuel.
Coals can be classified and graded according to the carbon percent and the impurity percent such as sulfur.
Anthracite coal has high carbon content.

How many signals do you expect in the H NMR spectrum for this molecule?
Br
Br
Write the answer below.
Also, in each of the drawing areas below is a copy of the molecule, with Hs shown. In each copy, one of the H atoms is colored red. Highlight in red all other H
atoms that would contribute to the same signal as the H already highlighted red.
Note for advanced students: In this question, any multiplet is counted as one signal.
Number of signals in the 'H NMR spectrum.
For the molecule in the top drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will contribute to
the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red.
If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right.
No additional Hs to color in top
molecule
For the molecule in the bottom drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will
contribute to the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red.
If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right.
No additional Hs to color in bottom
molecule
In the drawing area below, draw the major products of this organic reaction:
1. NaOH
?
2. CH3Br
If there are no major products, because nothing much will happen to the reactant under these reaction conditions, check the box under the drawing area
instead.
No reaction.

ค
Predict the major products of the following organic reaction:
NC
Δ
?
Some important Notes:
• Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below.
• If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead.
• Be sure to draw bonds carefully to show important geometric relationships between substituents.
Note: if your answer contains a complicated ring structure, you must use one of the molecular fragment stamps (available in the menu at right) to enter the
ring structure. You can add any substituents using the pencil tool in the usual way.
