Example of a cyclical reaction. Good source of structures to review Lewis dot structures.
When you heat a rubber band, does it get longer or shorter? Relevant to conformations of alkanes.
The acid catalyzed dehydration of sugar by mixing table sugar with sulfuric acid. Classic example of a massive set of elimination reactions causing the produ...
Formation of styrene by treatment with acid. Same mechanism as alkene hydrohalogenation, dihalogenation, hydroxy halogenation, etc. Relevant to electrophil...
Just like the old miners did, calcium carbide is treated with water causing protonation of the dianion and yielding acetylene, a flammable gas. Relevant to r...
Propene is generated by treatment of dibromopropane with Zn. The resultant propylene gas is oxidized by KMnO4 which cause the characteristic purple in color...
A series of alcohols is treated with chromic acid. Which oxidizes faster and why? Relevant to reactions of alcohols.
