Interpretation:
The molecular formula of methyl cinnamate should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The numbers and kinds of atoms present in a molecule of a compound are given by a formula said to be a molecular formula. This formula of a molecule gives the definite
Interpretation:
The
Concept Introduction:
A group of atoms or an atom which is responsible for the characteristic reactions of a particular compound is said to be the functional group. Every functional group shows distinctive chemical properties irrespective to the moiety to which it is attached.
Interpretation:
The carbon-carbon double bond in methyl cinnamate should be labeled as cis or trans.
Concept Introduction:
The molecule with same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangements of atoms in the molecule are said to be geometric isomers of each other.
Interpretation:
The structure of methyl cinnamate should be drawn and each carbon should be labeled as trigonal planar or tetrahedral.
Concept Introduction:
In structural formula, the bonding and type of bonds which holds the atoms in molecule together are shown.

- Explain why these compounds (1-propanol, ethylene glycol, and ethanethiol) experience different intermolecular forces based on their molecular structure.arrow_forwardConsider four compounds that have nearly the same molecular weights: 1,2-dimethoxyethane, ethyl propyl ether, hexane, and 1-pentanol. Which would you expect to have the highest boilingpoint? Which would be most soluble in water? Explain the reasons for your choices.arrow_forwardOrganic compounds may have characteristic odors as well as other characteristic physical properties. For example, the distinct odor of the seashore at low tide results in part from the presence of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), a molecule with a similar structure to dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH), also called mercaptan, is an isomer of dimethyl sulfide with a much less pleasant odor.The table lists four related compounds and their enthalpies of vaporization (ΔH°vap) in kJ/mol.
