Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The isomer of given compound needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Isomers can be defined as the organic molecules which have the same molecular formula and different structural formula.
Due to different structural formula, isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Answer to Problem 7E
Explanation of Solution
The formula of the given compound is CH3CH2COOH (propanoic acid). Propanoic acid is a
The structure is represented as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
The isomer of a given compound needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Isomers can be defined as the organic molecules which have the same molecular formula and different structural formula.
Due to different structural formula, isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Answer to Problem 7E
Explanation of Solution
The given structure is as follows:
There are 5 carbon atoms thus, it is 2-pentanone.
2-pentanone is an isomer of pentanal as it also contains 5 carbon atoms, 1 O atom and 10 H atoms.
The structure of pentanal is represented as follows:
(c)
Interpretation:
The isomer of a given compound needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Isomers can be defined as the organic molecules which have the same molecular formula and different structural formula.
Due to different structural formula, isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Answer to Problem 7E
Explanation of Solution
The given structure is as follows:
The formula of the given compound is
3-methylbutanone must be an isomer of pentanal as both have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
The structure of pentanal is as follows:
(d)
Interpretation:
The isomer of a given compound needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Isomers can be defined as the organic molecules which have the same molecular formula and different structural formula.
Due to different structural formula, isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Answer to Problem 7E
Explanation of Solution
The given structure is as follows:
The formula of the given compound is
Methylpropanoate is an ester as RCOOR is the general formula. Esters are isomers of carboxylic acid therefore it must be carboxylic acid with 4 C atoms that is butanoic acid.
The structure is represented as follows:
(e)
Interpretation:
The isomer of a given compound needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Isomers can be defined as the organic molecules which have the same molecular formula and different structural formula.
Due to different structural formula, isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
