Compounds X has the formula C7H15Cl; Y is C7H15Br. X undergoes base-promoted E2 elimination to give a single alkene product Z. Y

likewise reacts under similar conditions to give a single alkene product that is isomeric with Z Catalytic hydrogenation of Z affords 3-ethylpentane. X readily reacts in SN2 fashion with sodium iodide in acetone. Y does not undergo a similar SN2 reaction. Propose structures for X and Y.

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Let us examine the statements in the question carefully. First of all, we will discover that the products of the E2 elimination of the both compounds are isomeric. However Y does not undergo SN2 reaction as  X does.

The fact that SN2 reaction does not occur in Y confirms that the bromine atom is attached to a tertiary carbon atom and SN2 reaction does not occur due to steric hinderance. Since X undergoes SN2 reaction in aprotic solvent, the chlorine atom must be attached to a secondary carbon atom.

However, E2 reactions does occur with tertiary alkyl halides when strong bases such as OH^- or RO^- are used.

The question also stated that the catalytic hydrogenation of Z affords 3-ethylpentane.

Putting all these together, the structures of X and Y have been suggested in the image attached to this answer.

Problem 4
Hunter-Best [27]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.93 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

The chemical equation;

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) ΔH = -3120 kJ​

We are required to calculate the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat.

  • From the equation given;
  • 2 moles of ethane burns to produce 3120 Kilo joules of heat
  • Therefore;

Number of moles that will produce 100 kJ will be;

= (2 × 100 kJ) ÷ 3120 kJ)

= 0.0641 moles

  • But, molar mass of ethane is 30.07 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of ethane = 0.0641 moles × 30.07 g/mol

                          = 1.927 g

                          = 1.93 g

Thus, the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat is 1.93 g

Answer:

The pH of the HCl solution is 3.9

Explanation:

Knowing the molar mass of HCl (36.5g/mol) it is possible to calculate the number of moles of HCl in the solution,

\frac{1.5x10^{-3}g}{36.5g/mol} = 4.1x10^{-5}moles of HCl

HCl is a strong acid and when added to water will form H+ and Cl-, thus the moles of HCl are equal to moles of H+ in 354 mL of water

\frac{4.1x10^{-5}moles }{354mL} x 1000= 1.16x10^{-4} M

The concentration of protons in the solutions is 1.16x10^{-4} M.

The expression used to calculate the pH is

pH = -Log ([H^{+}]) = -Log (1.16x10^{-4} M) = 3.9

Hence, the pH of the HCl solution is 3.9 and Pepsi has a pH of 3.4 approximately, so they have almost the same pH.
