if I am correct you have a methyl propene, that is 5 carbons, why does it show 4 CO2, what happend to the fith carbon in the chain before combustion. I am just trying to understand
Chemguy, you are awesome, honestly, I hated Orgo-Chem... and I have seen all kinds of teachers trying to make it bearable... You are the best teacher I have seen so far.
You need 13 oxygen atoms as reactants...by multiplying 13/s times O2 (two oxygen atoms in one O2 molecule), you get 13 oxygen atoms! It's totally legit!
You forgot to mention that when when your adding conc H2SO4 to a alcohol you have a minor and major product (minor being the isomer of the alkene you drew).
wow, you're the best. i have exam tomorrow and i have been procrastinating Way to much. im cramming all this in one night. but when i watch ur vids i doesn't seem like cramming. ur the best.
Honeslty I have a chem exam tomrrow and i'm watching ur vidoes cuz its so much simpler than reading the whole text book.. and even from watching ur vidoes im answering the questions in my textbook correctly too.
I don't know how you do it chemguy, but you make chemistry funny. The closest thing to funny my teacher does is singing the periodic table. And it's not funny in the way he thinks so...
Can't believe how long I spent trying to understand the complicated textbook when this dude explains it so simply. Deserves a knighthood of some sort!
Yes Sn1, Sn2, E1, E2 reactions thanks chemguy you saved my life. Sn1 and Sn2 are addition reactions with Sn2 being a one step reaction and Sn1 being a two step reaction same as E1 and E2. So an addition reaction is when you lose a double or triple bond and an elimination reaction is when gain a double or triple bond.
its okay chem guy.. perfect does not exist.. Thanks a lot mate. Your videos gives me confidence to go back in the world of chemistry. Can you please discuss all the analytical Instrumentation. Starting from Spectroscopy....chromatography ...electrochemical method (potentiometry..coulorometry...)...i am missing a lot.. There is a lot more.......Plus in the future please give some tutorial in writing organic structure using the graph of infrared spectroscopy.. please please...
Why didn't you demonstrate complete vs. incomplete combustion ?

for elimination, doesn't water form as a product? Also, would it be considered dehydration if water is being removed?
I3I3oyI2ice 1 year ago
@I3I3oyI2ice Yes, you would make water when doing elimination on an alcohol! I wouldn't call it dehydration...but it kinda is!

Wouldn't it be just dimethylbut-2-ene? Since the methyles have no other places to go. I'm not entirely sure since I'm only in high-school chemistry..

Okay, thanks. So, if it comes at the end then it becomes a branch i guess.
sidbud21 2 years ago
We don't consider OH a branch if it is the functional group, unless the longest chain does not contain the OH group on the end. So I would say it is:
1,1,2 trimethyl propan-1-ol
Sorry about the last one. We only just did finished this chapter at school. lol.
Just imagine that the OH group is on the very end and the methyl branch has taken it's place on the top. It makes it easier.

Because it's O2, you want just 13 Oxygen atoms, but if you multiply O2 by 13 you get 26 O atoms, that's why you multiply it by 13/2.
