Hydrocarbons
2. To determine the number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons in cyclic alkanes (or any alkane
where they may have been omitted), just remember that each carbon has four bonds. In
cycloalkanes, only the C−C bonds are shown. It is assumed you know that the remaining
bonds on each carbon are C−H bonds. The number of C−H bonds is that number required to
give the carbon four total bonds.
3. In order to form, cyclopropane and cyclobutane are forced to form bond angles much smaller
than the preferred 109.5° bond angles. Cyclopropane and cyclobutane easily react in order to
obtain the preferred 109.5° bond angles.
4. Aromatic hydrocarbons are a special class of unsaturated hydrocarbons based on the benzene
ring. Benzene has the formula C6H6. It is a planar molecule (all atoms are in the same plane).
Each carbon in benzene is attached to three other atoms; it exhibits trigonal planar geometry
with 120° bond angles. Each carbon is sp2 hybridized. The sp2 hybrid orbitals go to form the
three sigma bonds to each carbon. The unhybridized p atomic orbitals on each carbon overlap
side to side with unhybridized p orbitals on adjacent carbons to form the π bonds. All six of
the carbons in the six-membered ring have one unhybridized p atomic orbital. All six of the
unhybridized p orbitals ovlerlap side to side to give a ring of electron density above and
below the planar six-membered ring of benzene.
The six π electrons in the π bonds in benzene can roam about above and below the entire ring
surface; these π electrons are delocalized. This is important because all six carbon-carbon
bonds in benzene are equivalent in length and strength. The Lewis structures say something
different (three of the bonds are single, and three of the bonds are double). This is not correct.
To explain the equivalent bonds, the π bonds can’t be situated between two carbon atoms, as
is the case in simple alkenes and alkynes; that is, the π bonds can’t be localized. Instead, the
773
774 CHAPTER 21 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
six π electrons can roam about over a much larger area; they are delocalized over the entire
surface of the molecule.
5. A difficult task in this problem is recognizing different compounds from compounds that
differ by rotations about one or more C‒C bonds (called conformations). The best way to
distinguish different compounds from conformations is to name them. Different name =
different compound; same name = same compound, so it is not an isomer but instead is a
conformation.

6. There is only one consecutive chain of C atoms in the molecule. They are not all in a true
straight line since the bond angles at each carbon atom are the tetrahedral angles of 109.5°.
7. London dispersion (LD) forces are the primary intermolecular forces exhibited by
hydrocarbons. The strength of the LD forces depends on the surface-area contact among
neighboring molecules. As branching increases, there is less surface-area contact among
neighboring molecules, leading to weaker LD forces and lower boiling points.

Note: For alkanes, always identify the longest carbon chain for the base name first, then
number the carbons to give the lowest overall numbers for the substituent groups.
12. The hydrogen atoms in ring compounds are commonly omitted. In organic compounds,
carbon atoms satisfy the octet rule of electrons by forming four bonds to other atoms.
Therefore, add C-H bonds to the carbon atoms in the ring in order to give each C atom four
bonds. You can also determine the formula of these cycloalkanes by using the general
formula CnH2n.

Isomerism
18. Resonance: All atoms are in the same position; only the positions of π electrons are
different.
Isomers are distinctly different substances. Resonance is the use of more than one Lewis
structure to describe the bonding in a single compound. Resonance structures are not isomers.
Structural isomers: Same formula but different bonding, either in the kinds of bonds present
or in the way in which the bonds connect atoms to each other.
Geometric isomers: Same formula and same bonds but differ in the arrangement of atoms in
space about a rigid bond or ring.

All six of these compounds are the same. They only differ from each other by rotations
about one or more carbon-carbon single bonds. Only one isomer of C7H16 is present in all
of these names, 3-methylhexane.
20. CH2Cl‒CH2Cl, 1-2-dichloroethane; There is free rotation about the C‒C single bond which
doesn't lead to different compounds. CHCl=CHCl, 1,2-dichloroethene; There is no rotation
about the C=C double bond. This creates the cis and trans isomers, which are different
compounds.
21. To exhibit cis-trans isomerism, a compound must first have restricted rotation about a carbon-
carbon bond. This occurs in compounds with double bonds and ring compounds. Second,
the compound must have two carbons in the restricted rotation environment that each have
two different groups bonded. For example, the compound in Exercise 21.13a has a double
bond, but the first carbon in the double bond has two H atoms attached. This compound does
not exhibit cis-trans isomerism. To see this, let’s draw the potential cis-trans isomers:
H H H CH2CH3
C C C C
H CH2CH3 H H
These are the same compounds; they only differ by a simply rotation of the molecule.
Therefore, they are not isomers of each other, but instead, they are the same compound. The
only compounds that fulfill the restricted rotation requirement and have two different groups
attached to carbons in the restricted rotation are compounds c and f. The cis-trans isomerism
for these follows.

22. In Exercise 21.14, 3-hexene, 2,4-heptadiene, and 2-methyl-3-octene meet the requirements
for cis-trans isomerism as outlined in Exercise 21.21. Only 4-methyl-1-pentyne does not
exhibit cis-trans isomerism. Because of the triple bond in alkynes, the carbons with the
restricted rotation only have one group bonded to them (not two groups, as is a necessity for
geometric isomerism). See the structure below.

23. a. All these structures have the formula C5H8. The compounds with the same physical
properties will be the compounds that are identical to each other, i.e., compounds that
only differ by rotations of C−C single bonds. To recognize identical compounds, name
them. The names of the compounds are:
Compounds ii and iii are identical compounds, so they would have the same physical
properties.
b. Compound i is a trans isomer because the bulkiest groups bonded to the carbon atoms in
the C3=C4 double bond are as far apart as possible.
c. Compound iv does not have carbon atoms in a double bond that each have two different
groups attached. Compound iv does not exhibit cis-trans isomerism.
CHAPTER 21 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 781
H2C CHCH2CH3
Other alkenes having the C4H8 are 2-butene and methylpropene. Methylcyclopropene is
another cyclic isomer having the C4H8 formula.
For cis-trans isomerism (geometric isomerism), you must have at least two carbons with
restricted rotation (double bond or ring) that each have two different groups bonded to them.
The cis isomer will generally have the largest groups bonded to the two carbons, with
restricted rotation, on the same side of the double bond or ring. The trans isomer generally
has the largest groups bonded to the two carbons, with restricted rotation, on opposite sides of
the double bond or ring.
25. The cis isomer has the CH3 groups on the same side of the ring. The trans isomer has the
CH3 groups on opposite sides of the ring.

Note: In general, cis-trans designations refer to the relative positions of the largest groups. In
compound b, the largest group off the first carbon in the double bond is CH2CH3, and the
largest group off the second carbon in the double bond is CH2CH2CH3. Since their relative
placement is on the same side of the double bond, this is the cis isomer.

The R designation refers to the rest of the organic molecule beyond the specific functional
group indicated in the formula. The R group may be a hydrogen but is usually a hydro-
carbon fragment. The major point in the R group designation is that if the R group is an
organic fragment, then the first atom in the R group is a carbon atom. What the R group has
after the first carbon is not important to the functional group designation.

54. To react Cl2 with an alkane, ultraviolet light must be present to catalyze the reaction. To react
Cl2 with benzene, a special iron catalyst is needed. Its formula is FeCl3. For both of these
hydrocarbons, if no catalyst is present, there is no reaction. This is not the case for reacting
Cl2 with alkenes or alkynes. In these two functional groups, the π electrons situated above
and below the carbon-carbon multiple bond are easily attacked by substances that are
attracted to the negative charge of the π electrons. . Hence the π bonds in alkenes and alkynes
are why these are more reactive. Note that even though benzene has π electrons, it does not
want to disrupt the delocalized π bonding. When Cl2 reacts with benzene, it is the C−H bond
that changes, not the π bonding.

This reaction is not explicitly discussed in the text. This is the reverse of the reaction used
to produce alcohols. This reaction is reversible. Which organic substance dominates is
determined by LeChatelier’s principle. For example, if the alcohol is wanted, then excess
water is reacted with the alkene. This drives the above reaction to the left making the
alcohol the major organic species present. To produce the alkene, water would be
removed from the reaction mixture, driving the above reaction to the right to produce the
alkene.

polymer. These double bonds can react with sulfur to form crosslinks (bonds) between
individual polymer chains. The crosslinked polymer is stronger.
c. The longer the chain of polystyrene, the stronger are the London dispersion forces
between polymer chains.
d. In linear (versus branched) polystyrene, chains pack together more efficiently resulting in
stronger London dispersion forces.
71. a. A polyester forms when an alcohol functional group reacts with a carboxylic acid
functional group. The monomer for a homopolymer polyester must have an alcohol
functional group and a carboxylic acid functional group present in the structure.
b. A polyamide forms when an amine functional group reacts with a carboxylic acid
functional group. For a copolymer polyamide, one monomer would have at least two
amine functional groups present, and the other monomer would have at least two
carboxylic acid functional groups present. For polymerization to occur, each monomer
must have two reactive functional groups present.

Two linkages are possible with glycerol. A possible repeating unit with both types of linkages is
shown above. With either linkage, there are unreacted OH groups on the polymer chains. These
unreacted OH groups on adjacent polymer chains can react with the acid groups of phthalic acid
to form crosslinks (bonds) between various polymer chains.
Natural Polymers
86. Proteins are polymers made up of monomer units called amino acids. One of the functions of
proteins is to provide structural integrity and strength for many types of tissues. In addition,
proteins transport and store oxygen and nutrients, catalyze many reactions in the body, fight
invasion by foreign objects, participate in the body’s many regulatory systems, and transport
electrons in the process of metabolizing nutrients.
Carbohydrate polymers, such as starch and cellulose, are composed of the monomer units
called monosaccharides or simple sugars. Carbohydrates serve as a food source for most
organisms.
CHAPTER 21 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 809
Nucleic acids are polymers made up of monomer units called nucleotides. Nucleic acids store

forces that link the various amino acids together in the primary structure.
Secondary: Includes structural features known as α-helix or pleated sheet. Both are
maintained mostly through hydrogen-bonding interactions.
Tertiary: The overall shape of a protein, long and narrow or globular. Maintained by
hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions, such as salt linkages, hydrogen bonds, disulfide
linkages, and dispersion forces.
89. Denaturation changes the three-dimensional structure of a protein. Once the structure is
affected, the function of the protein will also be affected.
90. All amino acids can act as both a weak acid and a weak base; this is the requirement for a
buffer. The weak acid is the carboxylic end of the amino acid, and the weak base is the
amine end of the amino acid.
91. a. Serine, tyrosine, and threonine contain the −OH functional group in the R group.
b. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid contain the −COOH functional group in the R group.

There are six possible tripeptides with gly, ala, and ser. The other four tripeptides are gly-ser-

98. There are five possibilities for the first amino acid, four possibilities for the second amino
acid, three possibilities for the third amino acid, two possibilities for the fourth amino acid
and one possibility for the last amino acid. The number of possible sequences is:
100. a. Ionic: Need ‒NH2 on side chain of one amino acid with CO2H on side chain of the
other amino acid. The possibilities are:
NH2 on side chain = His, Lys, or Arg; CO2H on side chain = Asp or Glu
b. Hydrogen bonding: Need N‒H or O‒H bond in side chain. The hydrogen bonding
interaction occurs between the X‒ H bond and a carbonyl group
from any amino acid.

d. London dispersion: Need amino acids with nonpolar R groups. They are:
Gly, Ala, Pro, Phe, Ile, Trp, Met, Leu, and Val
e. Dipole-dipole: Need side chain with OH group. Tyr, Thr, and Ser all could form this
specific dipole-dipole force with each other since all contain an OH group in the side
chain.
102. Alanine can be thought of as a diprotic acid. The first proton to leave comes from the
carboxylic acid end with Ka = 4.5 × 10−3. The second proton to leave comes from the
protonated amine end (Ka for R‒NH3+ = Kw/Kb = 1.0 × 10-14/7.4 × 10−5 = 1.4 × 10−10).
In 1.0 M H+, both the carboxylic acid and the amine ends will be protonated since H+ is in
excess. The protonated form of alanine is below. In 1.0 M OH-, the dibasic form of alanine
will be present since the excess OH- will remove all acidic protons from alanine. The dibasic

107. The aldohexoses contain six carbons and the aldehyde functional group. Glucose, mannose,
and galactose are aldohexoses. Ribose and arabinose are aldopentoses since they contain five
carbons with the aldehyde functional group. The ketohexose (six carbons + ketone functional
group) is fructose, and the ketopentose (five carbons + ketone functional group) is ribulose.
108. This is an example of Le Chatelier’s principle at work. For the equilibrium reactions between
the various forms of glucose, reference Figure 21.31 of the text. The chemical tests involve
reaction of the aldehyde group found only in the open-chain structure. As the aldehyde group
is reacted, the equilibrium between the cyclic forms of glucose, and the open-chain structure
will shift to produce more of the open-chain structure. This process continues until either the
glucose or the chemicals used in the tests run out.

110. Humans do not possess the necessary enzymes to break the β-glycosidic linkages found in
cellulose. Cows, however, do possess the necessary enzymes to break down cellulose into
the β-D-glucose monomers and, therefore, can derive nutrition from cellulose.
111. The α and β forms of glucose differ in the orientation of a hydroxy group on one specific
carbon in the cyclic forms (see Figure 21.31 of the text). Starch is a polymer composed of
only α-D-glucose, and cellulose is a polymer composed of only β-D-glucose.
112. Optical isomers: The same formula and the same bonds, but the compounds are nonsuper-
imposable mirror images of each other. The key to identifying optical isomerism in organic
compounds is to look for a tetrahedral carbon atom with four different substituents attached.
When four different groups are bonded to a carbon atom, then a nonsuperimposable mirror
image does exist.

The compound has four chiral carbon atoms (see asterisks). The fourth group bonded to the

118. DNA: Deoxyribose sugar; double stranded; adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine are the
bases.
RNA: Ribose sugar; single stranded; adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil are the bases.
When the two strands of a DNA molecule are compared, it is found that a given base in one
strand is always found paired with a particular base in the other strand. Because of the shapes
and side atoms along the rings of the nitrogen bases, only certain pairs are able to approach
and hydrogen bond with each other in the double helix. Adenine is always found paired with
thymine; cytosine is always found paired with guanine. When a DNA helix unwinds for
replication during cell division, only the appropriate complementary bases are able to
approach and bond to the nitrogen bases of each strand. For example, for a guanine-cytosine
pair in the original DNA, when the two strands separate, only a new cytosine molecule can
approach and bond to the original guanine, and only a new guanine molecule can approach
and bond to the original cytosine.
119. The complementary base pairs in DNA are cytosine (C) and guanine (G), and thymine (T)
and adenine (A). The complementary sequence is C-C-A-G-A-T-A-T-G.

To substitute for the benzene ring hydrogens, an iron(III) catalyst must be present. Without
this special iron catalyst, the benzene ring hydrogens are unreactive. To substitute for an
alkane hydrogen, specific wavelengths of light must be present. For toluene, the light-cata-

benzene ring.

132. At low temperatures, the polymer is coiled into balls. The forces between poly(lauryl metha-
crylate) and oil molecules will be minimal, and the effect on viscosity will be minimal. At
higher temperatures, the chains of the polymer will unwind and become tangled with the oil
molecules, increasing the viscosity of the oil. Thus the presence of the polymer counteracts
the temperature effect, and the viscosity of the oil remains relatively constant.
133. a. The bond angles in the ring are about 60°. VSEPR predicts bond angles close to 109°.
The bonding electrons are closer together than they prefer, resulting is strong electron-
electron repulsions. Thus ethylene oxide is unstable (reactive).

compounds are:
O
CH3CH2CH2COH CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
All these compounds have about the same molar mass. Therefore, the London dispersion
(LD) forces in each are about the same. The other types of forces determine the boiling-point
order. Because butanoic acid and 1-pentanol both exhibit hydrogen-bonding (H−bonding)
interactions, these two compounds will have the two highest boiling points. Butanoic acid
has the highest boiling point since it exhibits H-bonding along with dipole-dipole forces due
to the polar C=O bond.
138. We would expect compounds b and d to boil at the higher temperatures because they exhibit
additional dipole forces that the nonpolar compounds in a, c, and e do not exhibit. London
dispersion (LD) forces are the intermolecular forces exhibited by compounds a, c, and e. Size
and shape are the two main factors that affect the strength of LD forces. Compounds a and e
have a formula of C5H12, and the bigger compound (c) has a formula of C6H14. The smaller
compounds in a and e will boil at the two lowest boiling points. Between a and e, compound a
has a more elongated structure, which leads to stronger LD forces; compound a boils at 36EC
and compound e boils at 9.5EC.

The benzene ring is planar and does not exhibit geometric isomerism. It also does not
exhibit optical activity. All carbons only have three atoms bonded to them; it is
impossible for benzene to be optically active.
Note: There are possible noncyclic structural isomers having the formula C6H4Br2. These
noncyclic isomers can, in theory, exhibit geometrical and optical isomerism. But they are

143. ΔG = ΔH − TΔS; for the reaction, we break a P‒O and an O‒H bond and form a P‒O and an
O‒H bond. Thus ΔH ≈ 0. ΔS < 0 because two molecules are going to form one molecule
(positional probability decreases). Thus ΔG > 0, and the reaction is not spontaneous.
144. Both proteins and nucleic acids must form for life to exist. From the simple analysis, it looks
as if life can't exist, an obviously incorrect assumption. A cell is not an isolated system.
There is an external source of energy to drive the reactions. A photosynthetic plant uses
sunlight, and animals use the carbohydrates produced by plants as sources of energy. When
all processes are combined, ΔSuniv must be greater than zero, as is dictated by the second law
of thermodynamics.
145. a. Even though this form of tartaric acid contains two chiral carbon atoms (see asterisks in

Therefore, it is not optically active. One way to identify optical activity in molecules with
two or more chiral carbon atoms is to look for a plane of symmetry in the molecule. If a
molecule has a plane of symmetry, then it is never optically active. A plane of symmetry
is a plane that bisects the molecule where one side exactly reflects the other side.

ΔH of value calculated from bond energies (83 - 237 = -154 kJ). This extra stability is related
to benzene’s ability to exhibit resonance. Two equivalent Lewis structures can be drawn for
benzene. The π bonding system implied by each Lewis structure consists of three localized π
bonds. This is not correct because all C‒C bonds in benzene are equivalent. We say the π
electrons in benzene are delocalized over the entire surface of C6H6 (see Section 14.5 of the
text). The large discrepancy between ΔH of values is due to the delocalized π electrons, whose
effects were not accounted for in the calculated ΔH of value. The extra stability associated
with benzene can be called resonance stabilization. In general, molecules that exhibit
resonance are usually more stable than predicted using bond energies.

The cyclic structures will not react with H2O; only the alkenes will add H2O to the double
bond. From Exercise 21.58, the major product of the reaction of 1-butene and H2O is 2-
butanol (a 2° alcohol). 2-Butanol is also the major (and only) product when 2-butene and
H2O react. 2-Methylpropene forms 2-methyl-2-propanol as the major product when
reacted with H2O; this product is a tertiary alcohol. Therefore, the C4H8 isomer is 2-
methylpropene.

d. Working backwards, 2° alcohols produce ketones when they are oxidized (1° alcohols
produce aldehydes, and then carboxylic acids). The easiest way to produce the 2° alcohol
from a hydrocarbon is to add H2O to an alkene. The alkene reacted is 1-propene (or
propene).

e. The C5H12O formula has too many hydrogens to be anything other than an alcohol (or an
unreactive ether). 1° alcohols are first oxidized to aldehydes, and then to carboxylic
acids. Therefore, we want a 1° alcohol. The 1° alcohols with formula C5H12O are:
OH OH OH CH3
1-pentanol 2-methyl-1-butanol 3-methyl-1-butanol 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol
There are other alcohols with formula C5H12O, but they are all 2° or 3° alcohols, which
do not produce carboxylic acids when oxidized.

Br2 adds to double bonds of alkenes (benzene’s delocalized π bonds in the styrene
monomer will not react with Br2 unless a special catalyst is present). Only butadiene in
the polymer has a reactive double bond. From the polymer structure in part a, butadiene
will react in a 1:1 mole ratio with Br2.

155. Treat this problem like a diprotic acid (H2A) titration. The K a 1 and K a 2 reactions are:

As OH− is added, it reacts completely with the best acid present. From 0−50.0 mL of OH−
added, the reaction is:
+
NH3CH2COOH + OH− → +NH3CH2COO− + H2O
CHAPTER 21 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 833
At 50.0 mL OH− added (the first equivalence point), all of the +NH3CH2COOH has been
converted into +NH3CH2COO−. This is an amphoteric species. To determine the pH when
an amphoteric species is the major species present, we use the formula pH =
(pK a1 + pK a 2 ) / 2 . From 50.1−100.0 mL of OH− added, the reaction that occurs is:
100.0 mL of OH− added represents the second equivalence point where H2NCH2COO− is the
major amino acid species present.
a. 25.0 mL of OH− added represents the first halfway point to equivalence. Here,
[+NH3CH2COOH] = [+NH3CH2COO−]. This is a buffer solution where pH = pK a1 .
At 25.0 mL OH− added:
50.0 mL of OH− added represents the first equivalence point. Here, +NH3CH2COO− is
the major amino acid species present. This is amphoteric species. At 50.0 mL OH−
added:
75.0 mL of OH− added represents the second halfway point to equivalence. Here,
[+NH3CH2COO−] = [ NH 2 CH 2 COO − ] and pH = pK a 2 . At 75.0 mL OH− added:
pH = pK a 2 = −log(1.7 × 10−10) = 9.77

From part a, this occurs at pH = 6.07 (the isoelectric point).
