Question
Chapter 2, Problem 3Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The statement '' water not used to extinguish most fires in an organic laboratory" should be explained. Also, the safety issues with the given scenario should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The interaction of water and organic compounds makes them unusable as a fire control measure in an organic laboratory. Organic compounds are generally lighter than water and thus float on water. When water is used as a control measure to put out fire the fire is spread due to the flow of water.
An organic laboratory is guided to follow a set of precautious measures which helps in reducing the risks of accident breakout. These measures include use proper disposal and aeration of labs.

- Alcohols are very useful starting materials for the production of many different compounds. The following conversions, starting with 1-butanol, can be carried out in two or more steps. Show the steps (reactants/catalysts) you would follow to carry out the conversions, drawing the formula for the organic product in each step. For each step, a major product must be produced. (See Exercise 62.) (Hint: In the presence of H+, an alcohol is converted into an alkene and water. This is the exact reverse of the reaction of adding water to an alkene to form an alcohol.) a. 1-butanol butane b. 1-butanol 2-butanonearrow_forwardHow does structural effects in Chemistry contribute to direction of ease of organic reactions?arrow_forwardPredict the organic products that form in the reaction below: HO- + H* X H+ Note: You may assume you have an excess of either reactant if the reaction requires more than one of those molecules to form the products.
