Draw all possible isomers for the molecule having the formula C7H7C1. The molecule contains one benzene ring.
How many liters of air (78 percent N2, 22 percent O2 by volume) at 20C and 1.00 atm are needed for the complete combustion of 1.0 L of octane. C8H18, a typical gasoline component that has a density of 0.70 g/mL?
Draw all the structural isomers of compounds with the formula C4H8C12. Indicate which isomers are chiral and give them systematic names.
Isopropanol is prepared by reacting proplene (CH3CHCH2) with sulfuric acid, followed by treatment with water.
(a) Show the sequence of steps leading to the product. What is the role of sulfuric acid?
(b) Draw the structure of an alcohol that is an isomer of isopropanol.
(c) Is isopropanol a chiral molecule?
(d) What property of isopropanol makes it useful as rubbing alcohol?
Under conditions of acid catalysis, alkenes react with water to form alcohols. As in the case with hydrogen halides, the addition reaction in the formation of alcohols is also governed by Markovnikov"s rule. An alkene of appropriate molar mass of 42 g reacts with water and sulfuric acid to produce a compound that reacts with acidic potassium dichromate solution to produce a ketone. Identify all compounds in the proceeding steps.
