(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Synthesis of n-pentane from 1-Bromo propane should be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Target molecule is nothing but the desired product.

Terminal alkynes are unusual for simple hydrocarbons in that they can be deprotonated (pKa = 26) using an appropriate base to generate a carbanion.

The acetylide carbanion is a good nucleophile and can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions (usually SN2 ) with 1o or 2o alkyl halides (Cl, Br or I) which can produce an internal alkyne.

3o alkyl halides are more likely to undergo elimination.

One or both of the terminal H atoms in ethylene (acetylene) H-CC-H can be susbtituted providing access to monosubstituted (H-CC-R) and symmetrical (R = R') or unsymmetrical (R not equal to R') disubstituted alkynes R-CC-R'

The product is also an alkyne; it can also undergo the other reactions.

" is The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: :Ö: HO + Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH: 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO₂ 2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
