Bitumen (tar) is a mixture of various unsaturated (and also saturated)
hydrocarbons of different chain lengths (it is used to make road pavement - asphalt). Based
on your correlation, suggest a physical explanation of the fact that tar is black (i.e. absorbs
light of all wavelengths).
Fatty acids are molecules with a carboxylic acid on one end and long hydrocarbon chain on the other. The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles.
Soap does not work well in "hard water, which is water with high concentration of magensium and calcium ions (often found in water obtained from wells) Explain this observation at a molecular level.
Draw Lewis structures and condensed structural formulas for the four alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O. Classify each alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary. (Hint: First consider the connectivity of the four carbon atoms; they can be bonded either four in a chain or three in a chain with the fourth carbon as a branch on the middle carbon. Then consider the points at which the iOH group can be bonded to each carbon chain.)

Oils are mostly made up of hydrocarbons, for 'saturated' compounds, these obey the formula CnH2n+2. The empirical formula (unlike benzene) will vary with n. Now we have established C is tetrahedral, how many structural (skeletal) isomers can we find for n=6, hexane C6H14 ? 1) Sketch all the isomers. What procedure did you use to make sure you didn’t miss any ? Do you think you could you do this now for heptane C7H16 ?! (Hint: 9 different ‘skeletal’ topologies) Note the number of possible isomers increases in highly exponential way. C10 – 75 isomers C15 – 4,347 isomers C20 - 366,319 isomers !!

- 5. Acetone and 2-propanol are chemically interconvertible. Reduction (by the addition of the equivalent of H2) of acetone yields 2-propanol. Conversely, oxidation (by the removal of the equivalent of H2) of 2-propanol yields acetone. Is the evaporation data for these substances the same or different? If different, can you account for why this may be the case from a comparison of the Lewis structures of each substance and the IMFs present in each substance? Explain.arrow_forwardI. Molecule's Degree of Unsaturation* *to avoid confusion, we shall use "degree of unsaturation" to refer to the number of pi bonds or number of rings present in the molecule as a result of the loss of hydrogen atoms when referenced using the alkane formula of C,„H2n+2" The numerical value for the degree of unsaturation = 1 means that a molecule of hydrogen, H,, or two atoms of hydrogen are lost and instead 1 pi bond OR 1 ring is seen in the molecule. For this exercise, determine the degree of unsaturation of each of the following compounds: CH3 1. 2,3,3-Trimethyl-1,4,6-octatriene CH3 6.

Prior to that time, it was believed that tetravalent carbons assumed a square planar geometry. One piece of evidence that can be used to support a tetrahedral geometry is the fact that molecules with the general formula CX2Y2 (where X and Y are either a hydrogen or a halogen atom) are always polar. Explain how this supports a tetrahedral geometry and rules out a square planar geometry. Square planar geometry Tetrahedral geometryarrow_forward
