Interpretation:
The correct structures to the three isomeric tribromobenzene should be assigned.
Concept introduction:
The electrophilic aromatic substitution is the type of reaction in which an electrophile substitutes the hydrogen atom of the
The nitration takes place in the presence of nitric acid and sulphuric acid. In this reaction, the protonation of nitric acid occurs in order to produce the nitronium ion.
The activating groups are the groups that have the ability to donate the electron density to the benzene ring. The deactivating groups are the groups that have the ability to withdraw the electron density to the benzene ring. The ortho and para directing groups are the activating groups while meta directing groups are deactivating groups.

- Perspective drawings of both geometric isomers of CICH=CHCl (1,2-dichloroethene) Make two models that have different spatial arrangement of the substitutions (the two Cl atoms) across the double bond. Draw the perspective formulae for the two isomers and label them with their correct designations. What type of isomerism do these represent?arrow_forward(A) A researcher analyzed an unknown solid, extracted from the bark of spruce trees, to determine its percentage composition. An 11.32 mg sample was burned in a combustion apparatus. The carbon dioxide (24.87 mg) and water (5.82 mg) were collected and weighed. From the results of this analysis, Determine: (1) both empirical and molecular formulas if molar mass is 420 g/mol. (ii) How many aromatic rings can this compound contain? (iii)Give the possible chemical name and structure of this compound and hence reasons for your selection.arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer the question A student added bromine solution to a hydrocarbon sample that contained an isomer of C6H12 (E) in the absence of light. After shaking the sample, the student noticed that the colour of the bromine solution changed from orange to colourless. 6. An interpretation that could be made from the student's observations is that the hydrocarbon sample is and the IUPAC name of the sample could be ii.

Draw spatial formulae to show this isomerism Describe the physical property which could be used to distinguish between the Isomers.arrow_forwardCompounds X and Y both have the formula C7H₁4. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methylhexane. The heat of hydrogenation of X is greater than that of Y. Both X and Y react with HCI to give the same single C7H15Cl compound as the major product. What is the structure of X? • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. 23 ▾ Sn [F ChemDoodleⓇ 146arrow_forward
- (26) Draw the bond-line structures and determine the chemical formulas for hexane, 1-hexene, cyclohexane, and cydohexene. Write the mathematical formula for the ratio of carbon to hydrogen for each compound to determine the pattern. (27) Like cycloalkanes, benzene can have multiple substituent groups. Sketch the skeletal structure for 3,4-dipropyl-2,5-dimethyl-1- ethylbenzene. (28) Acetylsalicylic acid, more commonly known as aspirin, is a multisubstituted benzene compound. Is the substitution a 1,2-, a 1,3-, or a 1,4-? Once you've determined the correct combination, sketch what the molecule would look like for each of the other two possible substitutions.

After shaking the sample, the student noticed that the colour of the bromine solution changed from orange to colourless. Use the following information to answer the question 6. An interpretation that could be made from the student's observations is that the hydrocarbon sample isi and the IUPAC name of the sample could be ii .

In each case, identify any other functional groups in the molecule you draw, that were not indicated in the question. You may use Lewis or bond- line structures to draw your molecules. You may not use the same structure to answer more than 1 question. a) An acyclic molecule that cannot form hydrogen bonds with itself b) A tertiary chloride c) A cyclic etherarrow_forward
- This question is about the chemistry of alkenes, which are unsaturated hydrocarbons. (a) State what is meant by the term unsaturated as applied to a hydrocarbon. (1) (b) An organic compound, X, is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with molecular formula CH₂.

The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles. Soap does not work well in "hard water, which is water with high concentration of magensium and calcium ions (often found in water obtained from wells) Explain this observation at a molecular level.arrow_forwardTreatment of 1,2-dibromopropane with zinc metal gives Propane Propene 2-bromopropane 1-bromopropanearrow_forward
