Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Identification of the given liquid is to be done and the chemical equation has to be written.
Concept introduction:
The given liquid can be either benzene or cyclohexene. The reaction of bromine vapour with an alkene gives decolorisation of bromine vapours. This reaction is used for the test of unsaturation or double bond in hydrocarbons.
Bromination of
Alkene undergoes bromination which yields the dibromo compound (vicinal dibromides or 1,2-dibromides).
Benzene does not react with bromine vapours. However, it undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction with halogens in presence of a lewis acid such as

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- Complete and balance the following combustion reactions. Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forwardAlcohols 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_forwardIdentify the characteristics of phenolic compounds and alcohols,explain how they act, and evaluate their primary uses.arrow_forward
- What is the common structure of an aromatic hydrocarbon molecule? Find some examples of these compounds, and the odor they create.arrow_forwardExplain chemical reactions of benzene ?arrow_forwardOne of the compounds that gives orange oil its unique odor is an ester formed when acetic acid reacts with octan-1-ol. Draw the structure of this ester and name it.arrow_forward
- Explain the geometry,hybridization and bond angle of carbon atom of a carboxylic acid?arrow_forwardSuggest a simple chemical test that will differentiate between the following pairs of compounds. Write equations for the reactions involved. ▪ phenol and isopentyl alcohol ▪ tert-butyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol ▪ neopentyl alcohol and ether ▪ sec-butyl alcohol and neopentyl alcohol ▪ propene and 2-butanolarrow_forwardPropane reacts with water to form 2-hydroxypropane. This type of reaction is called substitution halogenation hydrohalogenation hydrationarrow_forward
