Solutions to In-Chapter Problems
13.1 To draw a complete structure for each condensed structure, first draw in the multiple bonds. Then draw in all the other C’s and H’s, as in Example 13.1.
H H H H H H H = a. CH2 CHCH2OH = H CCC O H b. (CH3)2CCH(CH2)2CH3 H C CCC C C H H H H H H H H C H H H H C H H H H H
c. (CH3)2CHC CCH2C(CH3)3 = H C CCC C C C H H H H H C H H C H H H
13.2 To determine whether each molecular formula corresponds to a saturated hydrocarbon, alkene, or alkyne, recall that the formula for a saturated hydrocarbon is CnH2n + 2, the formula for an alkene is CnH2n, and the formula for an alkyne is CnH2n – 2.
a. C3H6 = CnH2n = alkene c. C8H14 = CnH2n – 2 = alkyne b. C5H12 = CnH2n + 2 = saturated hydrocarbon d. C6H12 = CnH2n = alkene
13.3 Use the general formulas [saturated hydrocarbon (CnH2n + 2), alkene (CnH2n), and alkyne (CnH2n – 2)] to determine the molecular formula for each compound.
a. alkene = CnH2n, 4 × 2 = 8, C4H8 b. saturated hydrocarbon = CnH2n + 2, (6 × 2) + 2 = 14, C6H14 c. alkyne = CnH2n – 2, (7 × 2) – 2 = 12, C7H12 d. alkene = CnH2n, 5 × 2 = 10, C5H10
13.4 Give the IUPAC name for each compound using the following steps, as in Example 13.2: [1] Find the longest chain containing both carbon atoms of the multiple bond. [2] Number the chain to give the double bond the lower number. [3] Name and number the substituents and write the complete name.
12345 a. CH2 CHCHCH2CH3 CH2 CHCHCH2CH3 Answer: 3-methyl-1-pentene
CH3 CH3 double bond at C1 5 C's in the longest chain methyl at C3 pentene
