Before spectroscopy was invented, Korner's absolute method had been used to determine whether a disubstituted benzene derivative was the ortho, meta, or para isomer. Korner's method involves adding a third group (often a nitro group) and determining how many isomers are formed. A turn-of-the-20th-century chemist isolated an aromatic compound of molecular formula C6H4Br2. He carefully nitrated this compound and purified three isomers of formula C6H3Br2NO2, one of which was obtained in very small amounts. Propose a structure for the original compound.

Problem page combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane ( c5 h12 ) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.(a) write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. (b) suppose 0.350 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 degree c. calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Read the chemical equation. 2c2h2 + 5o2 → 4co2 + 2h2o which of the following statements would be correct if one mole of c2h2 was used in this reaction? one mole of oxygen was used in this reaction. five moles of oxygen were used in this reaction. four moles of carbon dioxide were produced from this reaction. two moles of carbon dioxide were produced from this reaction.

From the choices provided below, list the reagent(s) in order that will react with cyclopentanone to form the compound shown below.
