Compound A, C7H13Br, is a tertiary alkyl bromide. On treatment with CH3CH2ONa, A is converted into B, C7H12. Ozonolysis of B with O3 gives C as the only product. What are the structures of compounds A and B

Compound A:    1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane

Compound B:     1-methylcyclohex-1-ene

Explanation:

In this question, we can start with the I.D.H (hydrogen deficiency index):

In the formula we have 7 carbons, 13 hydrogens, and 1 Br, so:

We have an I.D.H value of one. This indicates that we can have a cyclic structure or a double bond.

We have to keep in mind that the Br atom must be bonded to a tertiary carbon. We can not have a double bond because in the ozonolysis reaction we have only 1 product, therefore, we can not have a double bond in the initial molecule (if we have a double bond in the initial molecule we will have more than 1 product in the ozonolysis reaction).

With this in mind, we will have a cyclic structure. If we have 7 carbons and we need a tertiary alkyl halide. We can have a cyclic structure of 6 members and a methyl group bonded to a carbon that also is bonded to a Br atom (1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane).

In the reaction with we will have an elimination reaction. In other words, we have the production of a double bond inside of the cyclic structure (1-methylcyclohex-1-ene).

See figure 1 for further explanations.

I hope it helps!

Spontaneity tell us the direction of the reaction, but not how fast it goes. gibbs free energy brings together enthalpy, entropy and temperature in one easy formula. g = h - ts. and, finally the sign of delta g is always negative for a spontaneous reaction.

Answer : option c) heat is released during the process.explanation :

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
