Answer to Problem 2.45AP
The molecular formula of
Explanation of Solution
The moles of
Substitute the values in equation (1) for carbon as,
Substitute the values in equation (1) for hydrogen as,
The simplest ratio is the ratio of atomic ratio of carbon and hydrogen by atomic ratio of carbon. It is calculated to get the number of moles of element in the compound. The simplest ratio for carbon is as follows.
The simplest ratio for hydrogen is as follows.
Thus, the number of moles of
The formula obtained on multiplying the number of moles in
The molecular formula of
(b)
Interpretation:
The structures of the alkane obtained in (a) having two tertiary carbons and all other carbons secondary are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The carbons in a chemical formula may or may not be branched. The branched carbons are categorized as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons depending on the substituent attached to it. The branched carbons are categorized to understand the
The hydrogen’s attached to branched carbons are also categorized as primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen’s.
Answer to Problem 2.45AP
The structures of the alkane obtained in (a) having two tertiary carbons and all other carbons secondary are shown below as,
Explanation of Solution
A primary carbon is the one which is attached to only one carbon. Similarly, the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons are attached to
Figure 1
The structures of the alkane obtained in (a) having two tertiary carbons and all other carbons secondary are shown in figure 1.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of the alkane obtained in (a) having no primary hydrogen’s, no tertiary carbon atoms, and one quaternary carbon atom is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The carbons in a chemical formula may or may not be branched. The branched carbons are categorized as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons depending on the substituent attached to it. The branched carbons are categorized to understand the chemical reactions in which these carbons are involved.
The hydrogen’s attached to branched carbons are also categorized as primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen’s.
Answer to Problem 2.45AP
The structure of the alkane obtained in (a) having no primary hydrogen’s, no tertiary carbon atoms, and one quaternary carbon atom is shown below as,
Explanation of Solution
A primary carbon is the one which is attached to only one carbon. Similarly, the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons are attached to
Figure 2
The structure of the alkane obtained in (a) having no primary hydrogen’s, no tertiary carbon atoms, and one quaternary carbon atom is shown in figure 2.
