Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hydrocarbon with molecular formula
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: The unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Chiral: Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom then the molecule is called chiral molecule.
Achiral: A molecule has superimposable mirror images are called achiral.
Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called enantiomers.
Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer.

- There are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forwardWhat hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C4H10 forms three monochlorinated products? One is achiral and two are chiral.arrow_forwardIV. Compounds A and B are isomers of the molecular formula C9H19Br. Both yield the same alkene Cin an elimination reaction. Hydrogenation of C yields the product 2,3,3,4 tetramethyl pentane.

- What alkane, with molecular formula C5H12, forms only one monochlorinated product when it is heated with Cl2?arrow_forward1,4-Pentadiene (CH2=CH-CH2-CH=CH2) is a liquid at room temperature and has a density of 0.66 g/mL and molar mass of 68.12 g/mol. In a laboratory experiment, 3.80 mL of this compound was treated with 4.80 mL of conc. H2SO4 (100% w/w; molar mass 98.08 g/mol). Note that the density of conc. H2SO4 is 1.84 g/mL. The resulting sulfate ester was then treated with 1.20 mL of water (molar mass 18.02 g/mol) affording, after work- up, 2,4-pentanediol (molar mass 104.15 g/mol) as the crude product. The crude product was then purified by simple distillation, which yielded 2.00 g of pure product. a. Provide a balanced chemical equation to show the reaction between 1,4-pentadiene and sulfuric acid. Do not use molecular formulas in the chemical equation except for sulfuric acid. b. What reactant is the limiting reagent in this chemical equation?
