Considering the stoichiometry of the reaction (balance the equation!), what is the net oxidation state difference of the carbons in benzophenone going to benzopinacol? Remember that you have to calculate the oxidation state of the carbons in the product (benzopinacol) and subtract the oxidation state of the carbons in the reactants (benzophenones). The shortcut is to only calculate the oxidation states of the carbons that seem to have changed their bonding. Give a whole number answer with no units. hv OH Ph Ph OH Ph' Ph' Ph Ph OH Answer: -1

Why does the solubility of carboxylic acids decreases with the increase in size of alkyl groups? a.)This is because of the equal polarity and hinderance provided by the large alkyl groups to the COOH group from involving in the hydrogen bonding with solvent molecules. b.)This is because of the reduced polarity and hinderance provided by the large alkyl groups to the COOH group from involving in the hydrogen bonding with solvent molecules. c.)This is because of the increased polarity and hinderance provided by the large alkyl groups to the COOH group from involving in the hydrogen bonding with solvent molecules. d.)This is because of the hinderance provided by the large alkyl groups to the COOH group from involving in the hydrogen bonding with solvent molecules.

If exactly 3 moles of propanol (C3H8O) is combusted in the presence of excess oxygen (O2) for form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), how many moles of water will be produced? Enter the integer number of moles of H2O, do not enter the unit. Hint: Since this problem and two problems below rely on this reaction, make sure you balance this reaction very carefully on paper as your first step before doing any calculations. The reaction to be balanced is reaction between C3H8O(l) and O2(g) to produce CO2(g) and H2O(l).
