Question
Chapter 8, Problem 39UTC
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The formula for each of the reactants and products needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- The formula of a compound is essentially a set of chemical symbols depicting the relative proportion in which the elements combine to form the given molecule.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given reaction should be balanced by adding appropriate coefficients.
Concept Introduction:
- A
chemical reaction is said to be balanced if there are equal number of atoms of a particular kind in the reactants as well as products
(c)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The type of the reaction depicted in the diagram needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- Chemical reactions can broadly be classified into 5 types based on how the reactants interact to form products, these include: combination reaction, decomposition reaction, single replacement, double replacement and combustion reaction.

A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there
are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from
the arrow.
• Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area.
. If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts,
inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow.
• You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown.
