(A) The steric effect of the methyl group in compound 1. (B) A resonance effect in the compound 1. (c) Hydrogen bonding between molecules of compound 2. (D) The electron donation of the methyl group in compound 2. 10. The melting range of 4-mitrobenzyl alcohol is reported as 92-94degree C and the melting range of triphenylmethane is reported as 92-94degree C. Which statement most accurately reflects the expected result for the melting range of a 50:50 mixture of the two? (A) The mixture will have a melting range of 92-94degree C. (B) The mixture will melt over a broad temperature range below 94degree C. (C) The mixture will have a sharp melting point above 94 degree C. (D) The mixture will have a sharp melting point below 92degree C. 11. Which choice ranks these compounds from strongest to weakest acid? 12. Which reaction courdimate diagram is most likely to represent the reaction pathway? 13. What would be the relative rate of hydrolysis of these compounds in water-acetone at 25degree C? 14. Which carboxylic acid is the strongest acid? 15. Which of the indicated hydrogens is most acidic?

Explanation / Answer

A9. The correct answer is C as the hydrogen bonding between two molecules of compound 2 is very stable which leads to an unusual increase in the boiling point of that compound.
