Draw structural formula for each reaction and state the type of reaction that is occuring:
a. 4-nonene and fluorine gas
b. hexane and oxygen gas
c. pentanol and butanoic acid
d. propene and hydrogen gas
A sample of gas occupies 10.0 liters at 100 torr and 27 degrees Celsius. Calculate its pressure in torr if the temperature is changed to 127 degrees Celsius while the volume remains constant.
a. To draw the structural formula for the reaction between 4-nonene and fluorine gas, you would need to first understand their chemical structures. 4-nonene has the molecular formula C9H18, indicating that it contains nine carbon atoms and eighteen hydrogen atoms. It is an alkene, which means it has a double bond between two of its carbon atoms. Fluorine gas (F2) consists of two fluorine atoms bonded together.
Now, to represent the reaction between these two compounds, you would draw the structural formula for 4-nonene and a structural formula representing two fluorine atoms bonded together. Then, you would show the breaking of the double bond in 4-nonene and the formation of new bonds between fluorine atoms and carbon atoms.
The type of reaction occurring between 4-nonene and fluorine gas is a halogenation reaction. Specifically, it is an addition reaction where the double bond of the alkene breaks and halogen atoms (in this case, fluorine) are added to the carbon atoms.
b. To draw the structural formula for the reaction between hexane and oxygen gas, you need to understand the chemical structure of hexane. Hexane has the molecular formula C6H14, indicating that it contains six carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms. It is an alkane, meaning it has only single bonds between its carbon atoms. Oxygen gas (O2) consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together.
To represent the reaction between hexane and oxygen gas, you would draw the structural formula for hexane and a structural formula representing two oxygen atoms bonded together. Then, you would show the breaking of one of the carbon-hydrogen bonds in hexane and the formation of new bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms.
The type of reaction occurring between hexane and oxygen gas is a combustion reaction. Specifically, it is a complete combustion reaction where hexane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
c. To draw the structural formula for the reaction between pentanol and butanoic acid, you need to understand the chemical structures of these compounds. Pentanol has the molecular formula C5H11OH, indicating that it contains five carbon atoms, eleven hydrogen atoms, and one hydroxyl group (OH). Butanoic acid has the molecular formula C4H8O2 and contains four carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms.
To represent the reaction between pentanol and butanoic acid, you would draw the structural formula for pentanol and the structural formula for butanoic acid. Then, you would show the formation of an ester bond between the hydroxyl group of pentanol and one of the oxygen atoms of butanoic acid.
The type of reaction occurring between pentanol and butanoic acid is an esterification reaction. Specifically, it is the condensation reaction between an alcohol (pentanol) and a carboxylic acid (butanoic acid) to form an ester (in this case, a pentyl butanoate).
d. To draw the structural formula for the reaction between propene and hydrogen gas, first, you need to understand the chemical structure of propene. Propene has the molecular formula C3H6, indicating that it contains three carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms. It is an alkene, meaning it has a double bond between two of its carbon atoms. Hydrogen gas (H2) consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded together.
To represent the reaction between propene and hydrogen gas, you would draw the structural formula for propene and a structural formula representing two hydrogen atoms bonded together. Then, you would show the breaking of the double bond in propene and the formation of new bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms.
The type of reaction occurring between propene and hydrogen gas is a hydrogenation reaction. Specifically, it is an addition reaction where the double bond of the alkene breaks, and hydrogen atoms are added to the carbon atoms, resulting in the formation of a saturated hydrocarbon (in this case, propane).
