Interpretation:
Chemist is testing by running the reaction when different R groups on the two alcohol carbons are used; the correct statement has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Pinacol rearrangement: For all glycols Pinacol rearrangement occurs. Unsymmetrical vicinal
Step 1: Add proton (protonation of Pinacol using acid catalyst).
Step 2: Break a bond to give a stable molecules or ions (formation of carbocation).
Step 3: 1, 2-shift (migration of substituent from
Step 4: deprotonation occurs (take a proton away).

Which two species in this equilibrium represent the weaker acid and the weaker base? CH3CH3 + CH3NH 1 2 O 1 and 4 2 and 3 1 and 2 3 and 4 ? → CH3CH₂ 3 CH3NH₂ 4arrow_forward2. Draw the products using curved arrows for the following acid base reaction. Label its conjugated acid-base pair. I—Z Base + N H. Acid H H searrow_forward
- After separating the acidic and neutral compounds in a mixture, how does one recover the neutral compound from the organic solution that it is in? O 1) Treat with HCl until acidic to precipitate the neutral compound as a solid. Heat the solution on a hot plate to evaporate the organic solvent and recover O 2) the neutral compound as a solid. Wave a magic wand and speak the spell of recovery to get the neutral O 3) compound as a solid. You don't need to recover the neutral compound as a soild, toss out the O4) organic solution and clean up the lab.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is FALSE about phenol? Select one: O A. It changes the colour of acidified potassium dichromate from orange to green. B. It is a stronger acid than ethanol, but a weaker acid compared to ethanoic acid. O C. It gives a purple solution with iron (II) chloride. D. It yields white precipitate with bromine water.arrow_forwardFor each structure you drew in the answer to the previous question, classify it as a strong acid,strong base, weak acid, or weak base.arrow_forward
- In each equilibrium, label the stronger acid, the stronger base, the weaker acid, and the weaker base. Also estimate the position of each equilibrium.

Which of the following statements best explains the acidic property of acetylene? A. The electronegativity of sp hybridized carbon decreases bond dipole between C and H. B. Hydrogen atom becomes ionized due to sp-s repulsion. C. The sp-sp orbital overlap attracts the electron cloud between C and H. D. The pi bonds in the triple bond promote ionization of carbon into carbocationsarrow_forward
