Ortho, meta, and para-xylene (1,2-dimethylbenzene, 1,3-dimethylbenzene, and 1,4-dimethylbenzene) provide similar mass spectra which are very different from ethylbenzene. Explain why you would expect this based on the common fragmentation behavior of arenes. What would you expect to be the main fragments observed with ethylbenzene?

1. Instrumentation is a key aspect of chemistry and specifically spectroscopy for organic chemistry. Why is spectroscopy the preferred technique in your opinion? How does this make the field of organic chemistry possible? In regards to mass spectra why is this technique so useful? Why is it so versatile with the various detectors it can be coupled with? 2. Studying about chemical separation techniques how do you see chemical separations in everyday life? How do those separations take place and...

In organic chemistry lab we just completled a "Lidocaine Synthesis". I have some questions to clarify before we take the in class exam. 1. Based on apperence and melting point; how can we validate if the crystals are pure lidocaine? 2. When using the seperatory funnel in extraction, we washed the organic layer with water and would shake then drain the aqueous layer out. After a couple of washes with water, we then use HCL to extract and collect this...

In organic chemistry lab, we separated a sample of benzion and benzoic acid. We tested the purity of the samples we obtained using a TLC plate. All of our benzoin spots also showed an impurity of benzoic acid. However, our benzoic acid spot did not show an impurity of benzoin. Why is this?

In an organic chemistry lab we were looking at the substrate and nucleophile effects in Sn2 reactions. Our experimental data showed that 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL of 0.25M NaI in 2-Butanone reacted faster than 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL 0.50M NaI in 2-butanone. Also, our experimental data showed that 1-bromobutane with 1.0mL of 0.50M NaI reacted faster than 1-bromobutane with 2.0mL of 0.05M NaI. These result are the opposite of the theoritcal rate aren't they? From my understanding, the Sn2 reaction rate should...
