Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
When sulfuric acid reacts with ethylene, the product formed has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Addition reaction:
b)
Interpretation:
When sulfuric acid reacts with propene, the product formed has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Addition reaction: Alkene reacts with polar reagent across the double bond, addition of hydrogen (electrophile) to the least substituted carbon and nucleophile bonded to the most substituted carbon.
Markovnikov’s rule:
In the overall reaction, the hydrogen atom (electrophile) is bonded to least substituted carbon and nucleophile is bonded to the most substituted carbon. This is known as Markovnikov’s rule.

- What is the difference in bonding and in the general molecular formula between an alkene and an alkane with the same number of carbon atoms?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference in bonding and in general molecular formula between an alkene and a cycloalkane with the same number of carbon atoms?arrow_forwardThe IUPAC name for a carboxylic acid is based on thename of the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbonatoms. The ending -oic is appended, as in ethanoic acid,which is the IUPAC name for acetic acid. Draw the structureof the following acids: (a) methanoic acid, (b) pentanoicacid, (c) 2-chloro-3-methyldecanoic acid.arrow_forward

Which of the following is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon? (a) It is a cycloalkane. (b) It contains one ring and one double bond. (c) It contains two double bonds and no rings. (d) It is an alkyne.arrow_forwardDraw the constitutional (structural) isomers of C5H12 and then draw the structure of trans-2-butene, and then sketch the product that would result if this compound reacted with bromine, Br2.arrow_forward
- Propene and benzene react with bromine, Br2, in absence of UV light in different ways. The reaction of propene is an addition reaction whereas that of benzene is a substitution reaction. Give the best explanation of this difference.arrow_forwardIdentify each organic compound as an alkane, alkene, alkyne, aromatic hydrocarbon, alcohol, ether, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, or amine, and provide a name for the compound. CH3 CH3-CH2-CH-CH;-C-OHarrow_forwardThe foul odor of rancid butter is caused by butyric acid, CH3CH2CH2CO2H.(a) Draw the Lewis structure and determine the oxidation number and hybridization for each carbon atom in the molecule.(b) The esters formed from butyric acid are pleasant-smelling compounds found in fruits and used in perfumes. Draw the Lewis structure for the ester formed from the reaction of butyric acid with 2-propanol.arrow_forward
- Draw all the structural and geometric isomers of pentene, C5H10, that have an unbranched hydrocarbon chain.arrow_forwardThe following is a structural diagram for penicillin G, an antibiotic compound with outstanding antibacterial activity. It is obtained from the liquid filtrate of molds. HO H H H C-C N- H Penicillin G can be described as an Organic Co -N- organic inorganic CH₂ H CH₂ -COOH compound.
