- A (green), B (blue), and C (red) are structural isomers as shown as figure .The molecular filmstrip depicts them undergoing a chemicalchange as time proceeds.(a) Write a mechanism for the reaction.(b) What role does C play?arrow_forward1) Sketch an energy diagram that would show the following:A) An exothermic reaction that is thermodynamically favorable and would occur quickly.B) An exothermic reaction that is thermodynamically favorable and would not occur at a measureablerate.C) An endothermic reaction that is thermodynamically favorable and would occur quickly.arrow_forwarda) Consider the reaction of HBr with ethylene and propylene. At roomtemperature the reaction of propylene with HBr is much faster than thereaction with ethylene.Using reaction energy diagrams and your knowledge of carbocationstability explain why this is so. b) Xylene (dimethylbenzene) is a commonly used chemical in the printingindustry and as a cleaning solvent for oily waste. It is also used whenpreparing histological samples to remove waxes from biological samples.Draw the three possible structures for this compound and give the UPACnames for each. Define which structures are ortho, meta, and para.arrow_forward
- Is the reaction favorable? Explain in detail why.arrow_forwardWhich of the reactions has a product that is thermodynamically stable compared with the reactant?arrow_forward9) Circle the letter of the statement that correctly describes the reaction whose reaction coordinate diagram is shown. Energy ↑ Reaction - (a) one step reaction; products less thermodynamically stable than starting materials (b) one step reaction; products more thermodynamically stable than starting materials (c) two step reaction; products more thermodynamically stable than starting materials (d) two step reaction; products less thermodynamically stable than starting materials 10) Show both chair conformations of trans-1,3-dimethylcylcohexane on the rings given below. Circle the more stable conformer or label them as equivalent in energy. 11) Fill in the blank - When pentanoic acid [CH:(CH2):CO:H, pKa = 5], is added to a separatory funnel which contains diethyl ether (organic) and water with a pH of 7.0, it is found mainly in the. (water or ether) phase with this structure 14arrow_forward
- Match the following reactions with their reaction type.arrow_forwardOutlino how and why increasing tomporature, concontration, and a catalyst can speed up the rato of a reaction.arrow_forwardIn a reaction sequence, C has a lower free energy than A, and k2 » k_,» kj. Draw an energy profile and derive the kinetic equation I k₁ A k B- k₂ Carrow_forward
- (a) Identify the major product of the following reaction. (b) Explain why the other product is not the major product.arrow_forward(b) Addition of HBr to the alkene in the presence of peroxide form radical intermediates. Based on the following reaction, use the curved arrows to HBr B (preferred product) ROOR (i) show the initiation step of this reaction. (ii) draw the possible structures of the two radicals formed in the propagation step. (ii) explain the formation of the preferred product B.arrow_forward1. what would be the mechanism? 2. what would be the product?arrow_forward
