Identify the type of the following reaction of carbon compounds.
a. CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – OH → CH3 – CH2 – COOH
b. CH3 – CH2 – CH3→ 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
c. CH3 – CH= CH – CH3 + Br2→ CH3 – CHBr – CHBr – CH3
d. CH3 – CH3 + Cl2→ CH3 – CH2 – Cl + HCl
e. CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – OH → CH3 – CH2 – CH= CH2 + H2O
f. CH3 – CH2 – COOH + NaOH → CH3 – CH2 – COO – Na+ + H2O
g. CH3 – COOH + CH3 – OH → CH3 – COO – CH3 + H2O
Answer:
(a) Oxidation Reaction
Propanol is oxidized to propanoic acid
(b) Combustion reaction
Propane in the presence of air gives carbon dioxide and water.
(c) Addition Reaction
Bromine attacks on the double bond to give Vic. Dihalide.
(d) Substitution reaction
Chlorine replaces the hydrogen and the second chlorine forms the byproduct HCl.
(e) Dehydration reaction
Butanol reacts in the presence of acid to give alkene with the removal of water.
(f) Neutralization reaction
Ethanoic acid in pre
sence of base NaOH gives salt and water.
(g) Esterification reaction
Acetic acid and methanol reacts to give ester (methyl methanoate) as the product.
