Introduction to Chemistry
- In an esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester. Draw the structure of the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and 1‑propanol.arrow_forwardThe disinfection of drinking water to control microbial contaminants can form chemical disinfection byproducts. These compounds result from the reaction of chlorine with naturally occurring organic matter (the dissolved molecules that give natural water the yellow-greenish color). One class of disinfection byproducts is the malodorous and unpalatable chlorophenols. 2,4-dichlorophenol is one compound of this class. a) Calculate the vapor pressure p*L of 2,4-dichlorophenol at 60 °C using Tb and structural information only OH .CI M, = 163.0 g/mol Tm = 43.7 °C Tp = 213.0°C %3D %3D %3Darrow_forwardEthanol (CH3CH2OH) is the alcohol found in beverages. It is oxidized in the body to acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. Methanol (CH3OH), also known as wood alcohol, is converted to formaldehyde by the same enzyme. Acetaldehyde is toxic, but formaldehyde is far more toxic to humans, which is why the ingestion of relatively small amounts of methanol can cause blindness or death. One treatment for mild methanol poisoning is the administration of ethanol. Why might a doctor choose this treatment? A. Ethanol likely irreversibly binds to alcohol dehydrogenase which prevents the formation of formaldehyde. B. The doctor has given up on the patient and administers ethanol for sedation. C. Ethanol must act as a competitive inhibitor for the alcohol dehydrogenase and therefore slows the formation of formaldehyde. D. The ethanol is likely an uncompetitive inhibitor and binds to a site other than the active site of the enzyme.arrow_forward
- 1. What is the role of the acetic acid in the oxidation of Cyclohexanol to Cyclohexanone? Write the balanced chemical reaction between acetic acid and sodium hypochlorite.2. How do you neutralize the acetic acid regenerated in the reaction? Write the balanced chemical reaction.arrow_forwardPhenols are aromatic rings with an alcohol functional group attached directly to the ring. These compounds have unique acidity and solubility for alcohol groups. Predict the solubility of this phenol in water.arrow_forwardUsing the relationship between the structure and the boiling point. Obtain a table for the listed chemicals below showing how the boiling point will be different with (1) the different chemical structures, (2) with different functional groups.

Draw the structure of the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and 1‑propanol. pentanoic acid+ 1-propanol= ester+ H20 structure of ester product neededarrow_forwardis this statement correct?arrow_forwardWhat functional group distinguishes each of the following hydrocarbon derivatives? a. halohydrocarbons b. alcohols c. ethers d. aldehydes e. ketones f. carboxylic acids g. esters h. amines Give examples of each functional group. What prefix or suffix is used to name each functional group? What are the bond angles in each? Describe the bonding in each functional group. What is the difference between a primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol? For the functional groups in ah, when is a number required to indicate the position of the functional group? Carboxylic acids are often written as RCOOH. What does COOH indicate and what does R indicate? Aldehydes are sometimes written as RCHO. What does CHO indicate?arrow_forward
- Esterication is the reaction of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (R'OH) to form an ester (RCOOR') with loss of water. Equation [1] is an example of an intermolecular esterication reaction. Equation [2] is an example of an intramolecular esterication reaction; that is, the carboxylic acid and alcohol are contained in the same starting material, forming a cyclic ester as product. The equilibrium constants for both reactions are given. Explain why Keq is different for these two apparently similar reactions.arrow_forwardAcid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols proceeds through an E1 mechanism. The first step is the protonation of the alcohol oxygen to form an oxonium ion. Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol forms one major and two minor organic products. Draw the structures, including hydrogen atoms, of the three organic products of this reaction. н н :бн н Нас. Нас.

Write an equation for the reaction of 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine with any one of the pheromones. What makes 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine suitable for characterizing aldehydes and ketones?arrow_forward
