observation and write all reaction equations.

What are alkenes

Compound prepared in lab was found to be 3,4 di-bromo hexane write all the possible structures of it and specify them as R and S. Give stereochemical relationship between all the isomers. Can the isomers of the above compound be separated based upon physical properties? 

In solvolysis of alkyl halides, substitution of alkyl groups at the B 'carbon atom increases E1 over SN1.

Consider the following organic compounds:

• ethane C2H6  (CH3CH3)
• ethanol C2H6O (CH3CH2OH)
• ethanoic acid C2H4O2 (CH3COOH)
• methoxymethane C2H6O (CH3OCH3)
• octane C8H18
• octan-1-ol C8H18O (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH)

1. Rank the four compounds containing two carbons from lowest to highest boiling point.  Explain your reasoning using intermolecular forces in your answer.

A student started this experiment with a mixture weighing 2.345 g. After separating the components, a total of 2.765 g of material was recovered. Assume that all the weighings and calculations were done correctly. How do you account for the apparent increase in weight of the recovered material?
