Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Nylon-6,6

Cevap

Nylon-6,6 is the polyamide formed by the condensation polymerization of hexanedioic acid and hexane-1,6-diamine.

The reaction between a dicarboxylic acid containing 6 carbon atoms (hexanedioic acid) and a diamine containing 6 carbon atoms (hexane-1,6-diamine) yields a synthetic polyamide known as Nylon-6,6 via condensation polymerization with the elimination of water.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the functional groups of the monomers provided in the prompt.

Hexanedioic acid contains dicarboxylic acid groups (

-COOH

) and hexane-1,6-diamine contains diamine groups (

-NH_2

).

The reaction between carboxylic acid and amine functional groups forms peptide/amide bonds (

-CONH-

).

2

Determine the type of polymerization and the resulting macromolecule class.

The reaction involves the loss of water molecules, which defines condensation polymerization forming a polyamide.

Condensation polymerization links bifunctional monomers together with the elimination of small molecules such as

H_2O

.

3

Match the specific monomers to the corresponding polymer name.

Hexanedioic acid (6 carbon atoms) and hexane-1,6-diamine (6 carbon atoms) produce Nylon-6,6.

The numbers '6,6' in Nylon-6,6 indicate that both the diamine and dicarboxylic acid monomers contain 6 carbon atoms each.

Cevap: True

Cevap

The statement is TRUE. Propanal and propanone share the same molecular formula (

C_3H_6O

) but possess different functional groups (aldehyde vs. ketone), which exemplifies functional group isomerism.

The statement is correct because propanal and propanone both have the molecular formula

C_3H_6O

but contain different functional groups (an aldehyde group and a ketone group, respectively), meeting the exact definition of functional group isomerism.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the molecular formula of propanal and propanone.

Propanal (

CH_3CH_2CHO

) has 3 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom (

C_3H_6O

). Propanone (

CH_3COCH_3

) also has 3 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom (

C_3H_6O

).

Isomers must share the exact same molecular formula.

2

Identify the functional groups present in both compounds.

Propanal contains an aldehyde group (

-\text{CHO}

), whereas propanone contains a ketone group (

-\text{CO}-

).

Structural isomers containing different functional groups belong to different homologous series.

3

Evaluate the relationship against the definition of functional group isomerism.

Since both compounds share the molecular formula

C_3H_6O

but differ in functional groups, the statement is true.

This directly satisfies the criteria for functional group isomerism.

Anahtar Kavram

Functional group isomerism is a form of structural isomerism where compounds have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.

Cevap: 10; 10 sigma bonds; 10 bonds

Cevap

The total number of sigma (

\sigma

) bonds present in one molecule of 2-methylbut-1-en-3-yne is 10.

In 2-methylbut-1-en-3-yne (

CH_2=C(CH_3)C\equiv CH

), there are 6 carbon-hydrogen single bonds (2 from C1, 3 from the methyl group, and 1 from C4) and 4 carbon-carbon sigma bonds (1 from the C1=C2 double bond, 1 connecting C2 to the methyl carbon, 1 connecting C2 to C3, and 1 from the C3\equiv C4 triple bond). Summing these gives 10 sigma bonds in total.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Expand the condensed structural formula to identify all individual carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds.

The

=CH_2

group contains 2 C-H

\sigma

bonds, the methyl group (

-CH_3

) contains 3 C-H

\sigma

bonds, and the terminal alkynyl group (

\equiv CH

) contains 1 C-H

\sigma

bond, giving a total of 6 C-H

\sigma

bonds.

Every single bond between carbon and hydrogen is a single sigma bond.

2

Identify all carbon-carbon (C-C) sigma bonds in the backbone and side chain.

The

C=C

double bond contributes 1 C-C

\sigma

bond, the single bond to the methyl branch contributes 1 C-C

\sigma

bond, the C2-C3 single bond contributes 1 C-C

\sigma

bond, and the

C\equiv C

triple bond contributes 1 C-C

\sigma

bond, giving a total of 4 C-C

\sigma

bonds.

Multiple bonds (double or triple) contain exactly one sigma bond each, with the remaining bonds being pi (

\pi

) bonds.

3

Sum the total number of C-H and C-C sigma bonds.

6 \text{ (C-H } \sigma\text{ bonds)} + 4 \text{ (C-C } \sigma\text{ bonds)} = 10 \text{ total } \sigma \text{ bonds}

Arrange the following straight-chain alkanes in order of increasing boiling point, starting with the alkane that has the lowest boiling point:

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct sequence from lowest to highest boiling point is Methane (

CH_4

), Ethane (

C_2H_6

), Propane (

C_3H_8

), and Butane (

C_4H_{10}

).

In the unbranched alkane homologous series, boiling point increases progressively with increasing carbon chain length and relative molecular mass due to stronger intermolecular van der Waals forces. Consequently, Methane (

CH_4

) has the lowest boiling point, followed by Ethane (

C_2H_6

), Propane (

C_3H_8

), and Butane (

C_4H_{10}

) with the highest boiling point.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relationship between molecular size and boiling point in a homologous series

As the number of carbon atoms in straight-chain alkanes increases, the molecular mass increases.

Members of a homologous series share identical functional groups and exhibit a gradual gradation in physical properties.

2

Evaluate the strength of intermolecular forces

Van der Waals (dispersion) forces become stronger with increasing molecular surface area and electron count.

Greater intermolecular attraction requires more thermal energy to separate molecules into the gas phase.

3

Sequence the compounds from smallest to largest carbon chain

Methane (1C) < Ethane (2C) < Propane (3C) < Butane (4C)

Fewer carbon atoms correlate directly with a lower boiling point.

For an organic compound to exhibit optical isomerism, it must possess a chiral carbon atom bonded to four different groups or atoms. Which of the following compounds possesses a chiral carbon atom and exhibits optical activity?

2-chlorobutane

1-chlorobutane

2-chloropropane

2-methylpropan-2-ol

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2-chlorobutane

Cevap

2-chlorobutane is the correct answer because its second carbon atom is attached to four distinct groups, forming a chiral center that exhibits optical isomerism.

The correct answer, 2-chlorobutane, has a central carbon atom (C-2) bonded to four completely distinct substituents: a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, a methyl group, and an ethyl group. Because all four attached groups are unique, the molecule lacks internal symmetry and displays optical isomerism (enantiomerism).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Recall the condition for optical isomerism

A molecule must contain at least one chiral (asymmetric) carbon atom, which is a carbon atom bonded to four completely different atoms or groups.

Chirality prevents the mirror image of the molecule from being superimposable on the original structure.

2

Analyze the carbon environments for each compound

For 2-chlorobutane:

\text{CH}_3-\text{C}^* \text{H(Cl)}-\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3

. The starred carbon (

\text{C}^*

) is attached to

-\text{H}

,

-\text{Cl}

,

-\text{CH}_3

, and

-\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3

.

All four groups attached to carbon-2 are unique, creating a chiral center.

3

Check the remaining options for symmetry

1-chlorobutane has

-\text{CH}_2-

groups; 2-chloropropane has two identical

-\text{CH}_3

groups on C-2; 2-methylpropan-2-ol has three identical

-\text{CH}_3

groups on C-2.

Molecules containing identical groups attached to the same carbon atom are achiral and optically inactive.

According to the balanced chemical equation

C_3H_8(g) + 5O_2(g) \rightarrow 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(l)

,

1\text{ dm}^3

of propane requires

5\text{ dm}^3

Which of the following open-chain isomeric alkenes with the molecular formula $C_5H_{10}$ exhibits geometric (cis-trans) isomerism?

Pent-2-ene

Pent-1-ene

2-Methylbut-2-ene

3-Methylbut-1-ene

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Pent-2-ene

Cevap

Pent-2-ene is the correct answer because neither of its double-bonded carbon atoms carries two identical attached groups.

Geometric (cis-trans) isomerism requires restricted rotation around a carbon-carbon double bond (

C=C

) along with two different substituents attached to each of the double-bonded carbon atoms. In pent-2-ene (

CH_3-CH=CH-CH_2-CH_3

), C2 is bonded to

-H

and

-CH_3

, while C3 is bonded to

-H

and

-CH_2CH_3

. Because neither carbon carries identical groups, pent-2-ene can form distinct cis and trans stereoisomers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the structural condition required for geometric (cis-trans) isomerism in alkenes.

For an alkene

R_1R_2C=CR_3R_4

to exhibit geometric isomerism,

R_1 \neq R_2

and

R_3 \neq R_4

must hold for both carbon atoms involved in the double bond.

If either carbon atom in the double bond is bonded to two identical atoms or groups, rotating structural representation does not create distinct non-superimposable stereoisomers.

2

Analyze the structural formula of Pent-1-ene.

Pent-1-ene is

CH_2=CH-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3

. C1 is attached to two hydrogen atoms (

-H

and

-H

).

Since C1 has identical hydrogen atoms, it cannot exhibit cis-trans isomerism.

3

Analyze the structural formula of Pent-2-ene.

Pent-2-ene is

CH_3-CH=CH-CH_2-CH_3

. C2 is bonded to

-H

and

-CH_3

. C3 is bonded to

-H

and

-CH_2CH_3

.

Both double-bonded carbons have two distinct attached groups, permitting the existence of cis-pent-2-ene and trans-pent-2-ene.

4

Analyze the structural formulas of 2-Methylbut-2-ene and 3-Methylbut-1-ene.

2-Methylbut-2-ene has two methyl groups on C2 (

(CH_3)_2C=CH-CH_3

), and 3-Methylbut-1-ene has two hydrogen atoms on C1 (

CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)_2

).

Both compounds violate the condition of having distinct groups on each doubly bonded carbon atom.

1

Calculate the number of moles of NaOH used in the neutralization reaction

\text{Moles of NaOH} = \text{Concentration} \times \text{Volume in dm}^3 = 1.00\text{ mol dm}^{-3} \times \frac{40.0}{1000}\text{ dm}^3 = 0.0400\text{ mol}

Since monocarboxylic acid reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 mole ratio (

), moles of

X = 0.0400\text{ mol}

. Thus,

\text{Molar mass of } X = \frac{10.24\text{ g}}{0.0400\text{ mol}} = 256\text{ g mol}^{-1}

.

Molar mass is the mass divided by the amount in moles.

Use the general formula for a saturated alkanoic acid to find the number of carbon atoms (n)

The general formula for a saturated monocarboxylic acid is

\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}\text{O}_2

. Molar mass

= 12n + 2n + 32 = 14n + 32 = 256 \implies 14n = 224 \implies n = 16

Determining

n

An acyclic hydrocarbon $X$ with the molecular formula $C_5H_8$ rapidly decolourises bromine water. However, when $X$ is treated with ammoniacal silver nitrate solution, no precipitate is observed. Upon complete catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a nickel catalyst, $X$ is converted into pentane. What is the IUPAC name of hydrocarbon $X$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: pent-2-yne; 2-pentyne; Pent-2-yne; 2-Pentyne

Cevap

Pent-2-yne (or 2-pentyne)

Hydrocarbon

X

has the molecular formula

C_5H_8

, corresponding to two degrees of unsaturation. Complete hydrogenation to pentane confirms an unbranched five-carbon chain. Decolourisation of bromine water verifies unsaturation. Because

X

yields no precipitate with ammoniacal silver nitrate solution, it lacks acidic terminal acetylenic hydrogens (

R-C \equiv C-H

). Therefore, the triple bond must be located internally between carbon-2 and carbon-3, making the compound pent-2-yne.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the degree of unsaturation and carbon skeleton of hydrocarbon

X

.

Degree of unsaturation is 2, and the carbon skeleton is a straight 5-carbon chain.

The molecular formula

C_5H_8

corresponds to

C_nH_{2n-2}

, indicating two degrees of unsaturation (an alkyne or alkadiene). Complete catalytic hydrogenation yields pentane (

C_5H_{12}

), proving an unbranched five-carbon chain.

2

Analyze the reaction with bromine water.

Hydrocarbon

X

contains carbon-carbon multiple bonds.

Decolourisation of bromine water confirms the presence of unsaturation.

3

Evaluate the test with ammoniacal silver nitrate solution.

Hydrocarbon

X

is an internal (non-terminal) alkyne.

Terminal alkynes possess acidic acetylenic hydrogen atoms (

R-C \equiv C-H

) that react with ammoniacal silver nitrate to form a characteristic white silver acetylide precipitate. The absence of a precipitate rules out pent-1-yne and confirms that the triple bond is located internally at C-2.

4

Deduce the final IUPAC name of hydrocarbon

X

.

pent-2-yne

Combining a straight 5-carbon chain with an internal triple bond between carbon-2 and carbon-3 gives pent-2-yne.

An unknown gaseous hydrocarbon $X$ decolorizes acidified potassium tetraoxomanganate(VII) solution and produces a reddish-brown precipitate when bubbled into an ammoniacal solution of copper(I) chloride. Which of the following IUPAC structural formulas represents hydrocarbon $X$ ?

\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{C}\equiv\text{CH}

\text{CH}_3\text{C}\equiv\text{CCH}_3

\text{CH}_3\text{CH}=\text{CHCH}_3

\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{C}\equiv\text{CH}$

Cevap

The correct structural formula is

\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{C}\equiv\text{CH}

(but-1-yne).

The compound

\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{C}\equiv\text{CH}

(but-1-yne) contains a carbon-carbon triple bond which decolorizes acidified

\text{KMnO}_4

via oxidation. Furthermore, because it is a terminal alkyne with a hydrogen atom directly bonded to an

sp

-hybridized carbon, it reacts with ammoniacal copper(I) chloride solution to yield a reddish-brown precipitate of copper(I) acetylide.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the reaction with acidified potassium tetraoxomanganate(VII) (\text{KMnO}_4) solution.

The decolorization of acidified

\text{KMnO}_4

proves that hydrocarbon

X

is unsaturated (contains carbon-carbon double or triple bonds). This eliminates saturated alkanes like butane.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo oxidation addition across carbon-carbon multiple bonds.

2

Analyze the reaction with ammoniacal copper(I) chloride (\text{Cu}_2\text{Cl}_2) solution.

Formation of a reddish-brown precipitate (copper(I) diallylide/acetylide) confirms the presence of a terminal alkyne carrying an acidic acetylenic hydrogen attached to an

sp

-hybridized carbon atom (

-\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-\text{H}

).

Only terminal alkynes have sufficiently acidic hydrogen atoms to be substituted by copper(I) or silver ions in ammoniacal solutions.

3

Differentiate between terminal alkynes, internal alkynes, and alkenes based on structural formulas.

\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{C}\equiv\text{CH}

is but-1-yne (a terminal alkyne) which fulfills both conditions.

\text{CH}_3\text{C}\equiv\text{CCH}_3

is an internal alkyne lacking a terminal acidic hydrogen.

Internal alkynes and alkenes fail the ammoniacal copper(I) chloride test despite being unsaturated.

An organic compound $X$ with the molecular formula $\text{C}_4\text{H}_8\text{O}_2$ does not react with sodium hydrogentrioxocarbonate(IV) solution to liberate gas. Upon refluxing $X$ with dilute sodium hydroxide solution, two organic products, $Y$ and $Z$ , are formed. Acidification of product $Z$ yields ethanoic acid, while mild oxidation of product $Y$ yields an alkanal that gives a positive Tollen's test. Which of the following correctly identifies the IUPAC name of compound $X$ and the chemical nature of its reaction with dilute sodium hydroxide?

Ethyl ethanoate; an irreversible alkaline hydrolysis reaction

Ethyl ethanoate; a reversible esterification equilibrium reaction

Methyl propanoate; an irreversible alkaline hydrolysis reaction

Butanoic acid; a reversible acid-base neutralization reaction

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Ethyl ethanoate; an irreversible alkaline hydrolysis reaction

Cevap

The IUPAC name of compound

X

is ethyl ethanoate, and its reaction with dilute sodium hydroxide is an irreversible alkaline hydrolysis reaction.

Compound

X

does not evolve carbon(IV) oxide gas with sodium hydrogentrioxocarbonate(IV), ruling out alkanoic acids and establishing that

X

is an ester. Alkaline hydrolysis of

X

yields sodium ethanoate (

Z

) and ethanol (

Y

), because acidification of

Z

produces ethanoic acid (

2

carbons) and oxidation of ethanol (

Y

) yields ethanal, an alkanal that gives a silver mirror with Tollen's reagent. Therefore,

X

is ethyl ethanoate (

\text{CH}_3\text{COOCH}_2\text{CH}_3

). Base hydrolysis of esters converts the carboxyl moiety into a resonance-stabilized carboxylate ion, preventing the reverse reaction and rendering the hydrolysis irreversible.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the functional group class of compound

X

Compound

X

is an ester.

Isomers with formula

\text{C}_4\text{H}_8\text{O}_2

can be alkanoic acids or esters. Since

X

does not react with

\text{NaHCO}_3

to evolve

\text{CO}_2

gas, it lacks the free carboxyl acid group (

-\text{COOH}

) and must be an ester.

2

Deduce the structure of the alkanoate (acid) portion of the ester

The alkanoate part is ethanoate (

\text{CH}_3\text{COO}^-

).

Alkaline hydrolysis of ester

X

produces carboxylate salt

Z

. Acidification of

Z

yields ethanoic acid (

\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}

), which contains 2 carbon atoms.

3

Deduce the structure of the alkyl (alcohol) portion of the ester

The alkyl group is ethyl (

-\text{C}_2\text{H}_5

), making

Y

ethanol (

\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}

).

The total number of carbon atoms in

X

is 4. Subtracting 2 carbons from the acid part leaves 2 carbons for the alcohol

Y

(ethanol). Mild oxidation of ethanol yields ethanal (an alkanal), which reduces Tollen's reagent.

4

Identify the reaction type with dilute

\text{NaOH}

Irreversible alkaline hydrolysis (saponification).

Hydrolysis of an ester with alkali consumes hydroxyl ions (

\text{OH}^-

) to form an unreactive carboxylate anion (

\text{CH}_3\text{COO}^-

), driving the reaction to completion irreversibly.

Cevap

The correct pairings match: (1) Acid-catalyzed esterification of propane-1,2,3-triol with hexadecanoic acid to producing tripalmitin fat and water; (2) Alkaline hydrolysis of glyceryl tristearate with aqueous NaOH to yielding propane-1,2,3-triol and sodium octadecanoate soap; (3) Catalytic hydrogenation of glyceryl trioleate to converting an unsaturated liquid triacylglycerol into a saturated solid fat; and (4) Acid-catalyzed reflux of ethyl ethanoate with water to reversibly producing ethanoic acid and ethanol.

The correct pairings logically connect each organic process to its definitive product or reaction characteristic: esterification of hexadecanoic acid with glycerol yields tripalmitin; saponification of glyceryl tristearate using NaOH irreversibly yields glycerol and sodium octadecanoate soap; catalytic hydrogenation saturates double bonds in glyceryl trioleate turning liquid oil into solid fat; and acid hydrolysis of ethyl ethanoate is a reversible equilibrium yielding ethanoic acid and ethanol.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the reaction of propane-1,2,3-triol (glycerol) with hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid).

Identified as esterification forming tripalmitin and water.

Hexadecanoic acid (

C_{15}H_{31}COOH

C_{51}H_{98}O_6

), a saturated fat.

2

Analyze the alkaline hydrolysis of glyceryl tristearate using aqueous

NaOH

.

Identified as saponification yielding glycerol and sodium octadecanoate.

Base hydrolysis of fats irreversibly converts ester groups into glycerol and carboxylate salts (soap).

3

When compound $X$ is heated with concentrated tetraoxosulfate(VI) acid ( $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ ) at $170^\circ\text{C}$ , it undergoes dehydration to produce a major organic product $Y$ . What is the IUPAC name of compound $Y$ ?

But-2-ene

2-methylpropene

But-1-ene

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2-methylpropene

Cevap

2-methylpropene

The compound resisting oxidation must be a tertiary alkanol because the hydroxyl-bearing carbon lacks an alpha-hydrogen atom. The only tertiary alkanol with formula

\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{O}

is 2-methylpropan-2-ol. Subjecting 2-methylpropan-2-ol to intra-molecular dehydration using concentrated tetraoxosulfate(VI) acid at

170^\circ\text{C}

removes water to form 2-methylpropene as the major alkene product.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the structural class of compound X from its resistance to oxidation.

Compound X is a tertiary alkanol.

Primary and secondary alkanols are readily oxidized by acidified potassium dichromate(VI), whereas tertiary alkanols resist mild oxidation because the carbon atom bonded to the hydroxyl group (

-OH

) carries no hydrogen atoms.

2

Identify the specific isomer of formula

\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{O}

corresponding to a tertiary alkanol.

Compound X is 2-methylpropan-2-ol,

(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C-OH}

.

Among the four structural isomers of

\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{O}

alkanols, only 2-methylpropan-2-ol is tertiary.

3

Determine the elimination product when 2-methylpropan-2-ol undergoes acid-catalyzed dehydration.

Dehydration yields 2-methylpropene,

(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{C=CH}_2

.

Heating with concentrated

\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4

at

170^\circ\text{C}

removes a molecule of water (the

-OH

group and a hydrogen atom from an adjacent methyl group), forming an alkene.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3-methylpentane

Cevap

3-methylpentane

The correct IUPAC name is determined by finding the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. Expanding the condensed formula

\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3)-\text{CH}_3

shows that the longest continuous chain contains 5 carbons (pentane). The remaining branch is a methyl group at carbon-3, making the systematic name 3-methylpentane.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the longest continuous carbon chain in the structure.

Expanding

\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3)-\text{CH}_3

shows a continuous chain of 5 carbon atoms (pentane).

IUPAC nomenclature rules dictate that the parent chain must be the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms.

2

Identify substituents and number the parent chain.

A methyl group (

-\text{CH}_3

) is attached at carbon-3.

Numbering the 5-carbon chain from either end places the substituent at position 3.

3

Combine the substituent locant, substituent name, and parent alkane name.

The correct IUPAC name is 3-methylpentane.

Combining the locant (3), substituent (methyl), and parent (pentane) yields 3-methylpentane.

Identify the primary functional group present in each class of organic compound.

Alkanols possess hydroxyl groups, alkanals possess aldehyde groups, alkanones possess ketone carbonyl groups, and alkanoic acids possess carboxyl groups.

The characteristic functional group determines both the homologous series and the IUPAC suffix rules.
