S-20 Week 1 Alkenes: Isomers and Nomenclature 1. There are 6 unique alkene isomers of the hydrocarbon C5H10. Draw each of these isomers‚ and provide a systematic name for each. 1-pentene (E)-2-pentene (Z)-2-pentene 2-methyl-1-butene 2-methyl-2-butene 3-methyl-1-butene 2. For the three alkenes above which are various isomers of pentene‚ rank them in order of stability. Explain your ranking. most stable (more subst. double bond) less stable (cis alkene is slightly less

Discussion The dehydration of an alcohol to an alkene follows a two step elimination reaction. The first step is determines the rate of the reaction and is dependent on the formation of the carbocation. In this experiment‚ the carbocation intermediate forms as the alcoholic hydroxyl group is protonated with acid‚ and dihydrogen oxide leaves. After this unimolecular dissociation step‚ a proton from one of the adjacent carbons is captured to reform the acid catalyst‚ and the elimination reaction is

CORE SYLLABUS for National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for Admission to MBBS/BDS Courses The Medical Council of India (MCI) recommended the following syllabus for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for admission to MBBS/BDS courses across the country (NEET-UG) after review of various State syllabi as well as those prepared by CBSE‚ NCERT and COBSE. This is to establish a uniformity across the country keeping in view the relevance of different areas in Medical Education. PHYSICS

1 CHAPTER 1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND The main objective is to design an economic Acrylonitrile chemical plant with safer ways of processes for a minimum production rate of 100‚ 000 metric tonnes/year. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Recently‚ production of acrylonitrile has been increasing every year in many countries. The rapid growth of the industry is mainly attributed to the availability of oil and gas as feedstock‚ a well-developed infrastructure‚ and a strong base

Under reflux conditions‚ a bromohexane compound is synthesized from 1-hexene and HBr(aq). The desired product‚ 2-bromohexane‚ is analyzed to see if it is produced according to Markovnikov’s rule‚ which states that when an alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide (HBr) to form an alkyl halide‚ the H+ is added to the carbon with a greater number of hydrogen substituents to form a more stable carbocation and the halogen (Br-) is added to the carbon with fewer hydrogen substituents. A heterogeneous mixture

graph‚ a relationship between the hydrocarbon chain of the alkane and its corresponding boiling point can certainly be noticed. There is a increasing correlation which can be explained using the theory that as each hydrocarbon chain gets bigger‚ there are more atoms and thus more electrons which contributes to higher dispersion forces and therefore a higher boiling point which is clearly seen through the graph. b) Uses of the First Ten Alkanes Methane -> A major component of natural gas (fuel).

reaction occurs when a leaving group‚ which consists of a weak base‚ leaves an organic compound‚ leaving an intermediate carbocation. In the second step‚ a carbon on the organic compound is deprotonated by a Lewis base‚ resulting in the formation of an alkene. The dehydration reactions of 1- and 2-Butanol with sulfuric acid occur through an E1 mechanism‚ so they follow the steps previously

SCIENCE RATIONALE This syllabus is prepared with a view to address new trends in integrated science teaching and science teacher education. Science has gained world-wide acceptance as a course of study for various reasons such as the concern for social relevance and environmental issues. The teacher is seen‚ as the key to the success of the Educational Reform in Zambia and the effective implementation of the science curriculum will thus depend on the commitment‚ competence and resourcefulness
