Chapter 7, Problem 6P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation should be written which involves the structural formulas for the catalytic cracking of 2,2,3,4,5,5-hexamethylhexane. The cracking takes place between third and fourth carbon atoms is to be assumed.

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms such as alkanes.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which one or more carbon-carbon double and carbon-carbon triple bond is present such as alkenes and alkynes.

The process in which complex hydrocarbons are broken into simpler hydrocarbons is known as catalytic cracking.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name and structure of isomer of alkene should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms such as alkanes.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which one or more carbon-carbon double and carbon-carbon triple bond is present such as alkenes and alkynes.

The compounds having similar chemical formula but different structures are known as isomers.
