can explain why answer is D?

Read This






look at (ii) if if there is one alkyl group and one hydrogen at one end of the double bond a carboxylic acid will form ,now look at the question the organic compumd has one alkyl group and one hydrogen on either side of double bond this means two Carboxylic acids will form (COOH) howevver what this pic didnt tell is that if OH is already present in a compund it will always form a COOH.



Using elimination method
A) not possible because double bond has to rupture so 2 molecules have to form so this is not possible. (because its the only link between two group of atoms, THIS MAY NOT HAPPEN IN CYCLIC COMPUNDS)
B)double bond always rupture but this is nt the case since C=C is safe . so this is not possible.
C) although C is partially correct because if we have one alkyl group and one hydrogen at one end of the double bond , first aldehyde is formed , C=C breaks ,1 carbon forms COH. however the process oxidation hasnt ended . the -H in COH also gets an O forming -COOH . thus the end product is -COOH. thus c is not possible
D) Final answer and already told why.

The IR sepectrum gives different peaks for A free bonded alcohol and a hydrogen bonded alcohol



A hydrogen bonded alchol has a BROADER peak then Free alcohol


check this https://webspectra.chem.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/webspectra.cgi/rp5/I/rp4/I?Zoom=141
RED = dilute t-butanol in choloroform
BLUE = Conc - butanol


An hydrogen bonded alcohol means = more molecular contact (e.g concentrated Alcohol) = more hydrogen bonding thus in a sample there are more -OH to absorb the infrared waves thus a broad peak.
a free alchol means = less molecular contact (e.g dil alchol or alchol in gas phase) thus in a sample there are less -OH to absorb the infrared waves thus a sharp peak.

[AnonymousX9]

Guys pls help how do I balance this equation using oxidation numbers???

K3Fe(C2O4)3 -----> K2C2O4 + FeC2O4 + CO2

Thank you

Can someone give me the complete answer to this question? it's 5 marks and from Oct/Nov 2014 paper 43. Thanks..

- Each carbon is sp2 hybridized as 3 sigma bond with each C atom.
- As it is sp2, thus bond angle is 120 degree
- All C - C have same bond length.
- Also, sigma bond between C - H and C - C and pi bond between C=C

I guess this is enough.

All the best buddy. (Y)

d)i) E for CH,, F for CH2
while d)ii E triplet and adjacent 2H,, F doublet adjacent 1H
i got d)i wrong. How is E CH and F CH2?? am i missing a concept?

Hi
Can you guys help me out with paper 3 ,I have a simple question.
What do i have to keep in mind while taking readings from instruments?
Like measuring masses or temperature,Is it always good to round off numbers during measurements for final readings at the start of Question 1 or 2 ?

 

[Laveeza]

Help! Can somebody plz explain me question 33

 

[Lee Qian Yi]

1) In an experiment 12.0dm3 of oxygen measured under room conditions is used to burn completely 0.10mol of propan-1-ol. What is the final volume of gas measured at room conditions? ANS: 8.40dm3
Anyone can explain?
