Q. 14.64 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Draw the condensed structural or line-angle formulas for the products of the following:

a)

 

       

b)

       

c)

    

     

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Part a)

 

     

Part b)

     

Part c)

   

step-1 Introduction (Part a)

• Carboxylic acids are weak acids that neutralize bases by producing hydronium ions in water. 
• The carbon atom of a carbonyl group is bonded to a hydroxyl group to generate a carboxyl group in carboxylic acids. 
• An alkyl or aromatic group might bind to the carboxyl functional group.

step-2 given information (part-a)

2-methylethyl propanoate is converted to sodium propanoate by base hydrolysis with NaOH.

step-3 Explanation (part-a)

step-4 given information (part-b)

Propyl 2-methyl propanoate undergoes acid hydrolysis in this process, yielding 2 -methyl propanoic acid.

step-5 Explanation (part-b)

 

step-6 given information (part-c)

Propanamide is hydrolyzed by the base to create sodium propanoate and ammonia in this reaction.

step-7 Explanation (part-c)
