Compounds X and Y both have the formula C7H14. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a pal

ladium catalyst to form 2-methylhexane. The heat of hydrogenation of X is greater than that of Y. Both X and Y react with HCl to give the same single C7H15Cl compound as the major product. What is the structure of X?

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Alkenes undergo hydrogenation to give the corresponding alkanes. Where the structure of the original alkene is unknown, we can deduce the structure of the alkene from the structure of the products obtained when it undergoes various chemical reactions.

Now, the fact that we obtained 2-methylhexane upon hydrogenation and the two compounds had different heats of hydrogenation means that the two compounds were geometric isomers. The original compounds must have been cis-2-methyl-3-hexene and trans-2-methyl-3-hexene.

When reacted with HCl, the same compound C7H15Cl is formed because the stereo chemistry is removed.

However, we know that the trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer hence the cis isomer always has a higher heat of hydrogenation than the trans isomer. Thus X is cis-2-methyl-3-hexene.

Given 50.0 grams of Strontium, find grams of Phosphorus required for complete reaction
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

                     Mass = 11.78 g of P₄

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation is as follow:

                                          6 Sr + P4 → 2 Sr₃P₂

Step 1: Calculate moles of Sr as;

Moles = Mass / M/Mass

Moles = 50.0 g / 87.62 g/mol

Moles = 0.570 moles

Step 2: Find moles of P₄ as;

According to equation,

6 moles of Sr reacted with  =  1 mole of P₄

So,

0.570 moles of Sr will react with  =  X moles of P₄

Solving for X,

X = 1 mol × 0.570 mol / 6 mol

X = 0.0952 mol of P₄

Step 3: Calculate mass of P₄ as,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.0952 mol × 123.89 g/mol

Mass = 11.78 g of P₄

Answer:

<u><em>Hydroxylation </em></u>

Explanation:

Hydroxylation is a chemical process that introduces a hydroxyl group (-OH) into an organic compound. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases. Hydroxylation is the first step in the oxidative degradation of organic compounds in air.
