Chapter 7: Q37 AP (page 324)

Trans-Cyclodecene boils at 193°C, but cis-cyclodecene boils at 195.6°C. Write structural formulas for these two compounds.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The structural formulas for trans-Cyclodecene and cis-cyclodecene are same which is C10H18.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The boiling point of cis-cyclodecene is 195.6°C compared to 193°C for trans-Cyclodecene.

02

Concept

Cis-structures are molecules having same atom connectivity. They include double bonds on the same side as same side groups. Molecules with the identical side groups are positioned on the opposing sides of a double bond in trans-structures.

03

Structural formulas for trans-Cyclodecene and cis-cyclodecene

The structural formula for trans-cyclodecene is,

C10H18

The structural formulas for cis-Cyclodecene is,

C10H18

Is it possible for motor fuel to have a negative octane rating? Explain.

Compare the bonding in formic acid (HCOOH) with that in its conjugate base formate ion (HCOO-). Each molecule has a central carbon atom bonded to the two oxygen atoms and to a hydrogen atom. Draw Lewis diagrams, determine the steric numbers and hybridization of the central carbon atom, and give the molecular geometries. How do the p orbitals differ in formic acid and the formate molecular ion? The bond lengths of the C-O bonds in HCOOH are 1.23 (for the bond to the lone oxygen) and 1.36 Å (for the bond to the oxygen with a hydrogen atom attached). In what range of lengths do you predict the C-O bond length in the formate ion to lie?

Calculate the volume of hydrogen at 0° C and 1.00 atm that is required to convert 500.0 g linoleic acid (C18H32O2) to stearic acid (C18H36O2).

Explain why it is impossible to form an amide by the condensation of a tertiary amine with a carboxylic acid.

The naphthalene molecule has a structure that corresponds to two benzene molecules fused together:

The πelectrons in this molecule are delocalized over the entire molecule. The wavelength of maximum absorption in benzene is 255 nm. Will the corresponding wavelength in naphthalene be shorter or longer than 255 nm?
