Question

Hi is anyone good at drawing isomers and structures, that can help me with something

Answer 1

Hi I have a homework problem online and I need help with it

Answer 2

dont ask to ask, post your question

Answer 3

its online and I cat post it but I can give you my username and password and you canaccess it and help me with it

Answer 4

but are you good at drawing isomers and structures

Answer 5

are you going to help me with this

Answer 6

will you accesmy homework please and try to do this

Answer 7

but it is drawing

Answer 8

screen shot it

Answer 9

ok here is the question


Draw a structural formula for for the one tertiary alcohol with molecular formula C5H12O.

Answer 10

do you know the difference between, primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols?

Answer 11

we have just learnt this

Answer 12

can you accesmy homework and do it for me

Answer 13

No I wont do that, I can teach you how to answer this question if you like but I will not give you the answer

Answer 14

srry just thought you might because this stuff is killing me

Answer 15

Relax I know this stuff seems tough right now but it really isnt organic chemistry is super fun once you get into it

Answer 16

I hope you know that carbon will normally have 4 bonds


Now to show you differences in notation for organic compounds,

Answer 17

The empirical formula for that compound is C3H8

Answer 18

In organic chemistry they mostly use the last way of drawing because it is faster, and organic chemists are pretty lazy

Answer 19

Do you follow? and do you see the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols now?

Answer 20

that classification is just based on how many carbons the carbon that is attached to the alcohol is attached to

if a carbon attached to an alcohol is attached to only 1 carbon it is a primary alcohol

for example

CH3-CH2-OH

if a carbon attached to an alcohol is attached to 2 carbons it is a secondary alcohol

for example
(CH3)2-CH-OH

if a carbon attached to an alcohol is attached to 3 carbons it is a tertiary alcohol

for example

(CH3)3-C-OH

Answer 21

This stuff is important because it tells you the reactivity of the compound

Answer 22

So in your question you are given the empirical formula:

C5H12O

and you know it is a tertiary alcohol

The empirical formula tells you the compound has:

5 Carbons
12 Hydrogens
and
1 Oxygen

An Alcohol group is made up of 1 oxygen and 1 hydrogen

Can you piece the compound together given what I have shown you?

Answer 23

are you still here?

Answer 24

I hope I was helpful, if you have any further questions please ask

Answer 25

I can check your answer btw if you post it
