I have a question about C4H8Cl2
A compound with the molecular formula C4H9Cl reacts with chlorine ( ultraviolet light is used as the catalysator). I would like to know wich structure the compound (C4H9Cl) has if it can react into exactly three different dichloride compoundes?
Is it 1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane, 1-chloro-2-methylpropane or 2-chloro-2-methylpropane? I think it´s 2-chloro-2-methylpropane, but I´m not sure.
thanks for your help!
Also-
I have a though question about ethanol. The ethanol in a 750 cm3 wine bottle has oxidated into acetic acid. How much NaHCO3 do you need to neutralize the acid. The alcohol concentration in the wine bottle is 20% and the density of ethanol is 0,789 grams/cm3.
With these reactions:
1. 2 C2H5OH + O2 = 2 CH3CHO + 2 H2O
2. 2 CH3CHO + O2  2 CH3COOH
3. CH3COOH + NaHCO3 = H2O + NaCO3 + CO2
I have calculated that it will require 211 g of NaHCO3 to neutralize the acetic acid in the wine bottle. Does that sound about right?
And-
Can octane and ethanol have the same amount of carbondioxide discharge when incinirated?
The "energiamount" of octane is 5470 000 Joule/molar
and ethanol is 1367 000 Joule/molar
Need Help with three tough questions! Paper due tomorrow
