List each set of compounds in order of increasing boiling point.
(a) hexane, octane, and decane
(b) octane, (CH3)3C-C(CH3)3, and CH3CH2C(CH3)2CH2CH2CH3
Construct a graph, similar to Figure 3-11, of the torsional energy of along the.Placein front, represented by three bonds coming together in a Y shape, andin back, represented by a circle with three bonds pointing out from it. Define the dihedral angle as the angle between the methyl group on the front carbon and ethyl group on the back carbon. Begin your graph at thedihedral angle and begin to turn the front carbon. Show the Newman projection and the approximate energy at eachof rotation. Indicate which conformations are the most stable (lowest energy) and the least stable (highest energy).
Question: Using the general formula for alkanes
(a) Predict the molecular formula of thestraight chain alkane.
(b) Predict the molecular formula of the alkanes containing 42 carbon atom with extensive branching.
Provide IUPAC names for the following compounds.
(a)

Question: Conformational studies on ethane-1,2-diol (HOCH2 -CH2OHhave shown the most stable conformation about the central C-Cbond to be the gauche conformation, which is 9.6 KJ/mol (2.3 kcal/mol)more stable than the anti-conformation. Draw Newman projections of these conformers, and explain this curious result.
