Draw the structures for the following compounds.

(i) Ethanoic acid    (ii) Bromopentane*
(iii) Butanone    (iv) Hexanal.
Are structural isomers possible for bromopentane?


(i) Ethanoic acid:

 
(i) Ethanoic acid: (ii) Bromopentane:(iii) Butanone:(iv) Hexanal:Str

(ii) Bromopentane:


(i) Ethanoic acid: (ii) Bromopentane:(iii) Butanone:(iv) Hexanal:Str
(iii) Butanone:


(i) Ethanoic acid: (ii) Bromopentane:(iii) Butanone:(iv) Hexanal:Str
(iv) Hexanal:

(i) Ethanoic acid: (ii) Bromopentane:(iii) Butanone:(iv) Hexanal:Str

Structural isomers for bromopentane: There are three structural isomers for bromopentane depending on the position of Br at carbon 1, 2, 3. Position 4 and 5 are same as 1, 2.

A mixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding. Can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used?

When ethyne is burnt in air, it gives a sooty flame. This is due to incomplete combustion caused by limited supply of air. However, if ethyne is burnt with oxygen, it gives a clean flame with temperature 30000 C because of complete combustion. This oxy-acetylene flame is used for welding. It is not possible to attain such a high temperature without mixing oxygen. That is why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used.

Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction?

Conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid is oxidation because
(i)Oxygen is added up to ethanol by oxidising agent like alkaline potassium permanganate or acidified potassium dichromate.

(ii)The product of the reaction is not CO2 and water. Further no heat or light is produced.

How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid?

Reaction with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates: Ethanoic acid react with carbonates and hydrogencarbonates to give rise to a salt, carbon dioxide and water.
CH3COOH +Na2CO3 --> 2CH3COONa +H2O +CO2

Alchol do not give this type of reacation .
