Write total fuctional isomers of molecular formula C5H10O.
Arrange the following compounds 2-Methylhexane in order of their increasing of (A) boiling point and (B) melting point ? (1) n-hexane (2) 2-methyl hexane (3) 2, 2-dimethyl pentane (4) 2, 3-dimethyl pentane.
(A) BoiIing point on alkane is directly
proportional to their molecular weight and inversely proportional to
branching. Therefore, the increasing order is (1)
< (3) < (4) < (2)
(B) Melting point of alkane is directly
proportional to molecular weight as well as branching of alkane because
increased branching leads to a more compact molecule. Thus the increasing order
is (1) < (2) < (4) < (3).
Benzamide is less easily hydrolysed than methyl benzoate. Why ?
We know that N is less electronegative than oxygen therefore. N can donate a pair of electrons more readily than
oxygen. Therefore, magnitude of positive charge on carbonyl carbon in benzamide is less than in methyl benzoate. Thus during
hydrolysis, attack of -OH- ion on carbonyl carbon in benzamide
is difficult than
in methyl benzoate. Thus benzamide is less easily hydrolysed than methyl
benzoate.

ACIDIC STRENGTH ORDER:
Out of Acet.yl chloride and acetic anhydride, acetic anhydride is preferred for acylation reactions. Explain why?
Both acetyl chloride
and acetic
anhydride are good acetylating agents, however, acetyl chloride is
much more reactive than acetic anhydride and hence with acetyl chloride
reactions are very fast and difficult to control , and with acetic anhydride
can be controlled easily. Therefore, acetic anhydride is preferred over acetyl
chloride for acetylation.
