CHM 201 EXAM 1 Example Students Are Responsible for All Material from the Notes and Textbook

CHM 201 EXAM 1_Example Students are responsible for all material from the notes and textbook. There will also be a set of multiple choice questions.

Question I

1. For the following molecule,

a. Write a condensed formula

b. Draw a 3-D picture then indicate the σ, π overlapping of (E.g sp3C – sp3C). Write N/A if none

B A O C

Letter σ (sigma) π (pi) A

2. In the following set of resonance forms, using an arrow to show the movement of electrons then label the major and minor contributors and state your reason. Add any missing resonance forms

NH2 NH2

H2 H2 CH3 C C NH2 CH3 C C NH2

1 Question II

1. Predict the products of the following acid-base reaction. Using curve arrows to show how they exchange H+.

HO C OH + 2 OH

2. Label each reactant as Lewis acid and Lewis base. Then using curve arrow to show how the products are made.

AlCl Al CH3OCH3 + 3 Cl O CH3

3. Predict whether reactant or products are favored at equilibrium. Why?

+ NH CH3CH2OH + NH2 CH3CH3O 3 pKa = 36 pKa = 16.0

4 7. Draw the most stable conformer of trans-1-ethyl-2-isopropylcylohexane

8. Draw the chair conformation and the result of ring flips. Determine the most stable conformer and explain your reason. Don’t forget to label all carbon atoms

5 Question 5:

1. Rank these molecules or compound according to their boiling point, starting from the highest

OF2, LiF, F2 and CH3OH
