Compound X has the formula C8H14. X reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form

a mixture of cis- and trans-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane. Treatment of X with ozone followed by zinc in aqueous acid gives a ketone and formaldehyde (CH2=O). What is the structure of X?

Answer:

1-Ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane  

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = C₈H₁₄. An alkane has formula C₈H₁₈. ∴ X contains 2 double bonds, 2 rings, or 1 ring and 1 double bond.

X absorbs only 1 mol of hydrogen. ∴ X contains 1 ring and 1 double bond.

Hydrogenation gives 1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane.

Ozonolysis gives formaldehyde, so X must contain a =CH₂ group.  

Hydrogenation of X converted the =CH₂ to -CH₃.

X is 1-ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane.

What happens in the redox reaction below? Select all that apply.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

B- Sodium loses an electron.

D- Fluorine gains an electron.

Sodium is oxidized.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        Na  + F →  NaF

In this reaction, Na is the reducing agent. It loses an electron and then becomes oxidized. By so doing, Na becomes isoelectronic with Neon.

Fluorine gains the electron and then becomes reduced. This makes fluorine also isoelectronic with Neon.

This separation of charges on the two species leads to an electrostatic attraction which forms the ionic bonds.
