The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information provided and derive the structure of ketone (B). ### Step 1: Determine the moles of methane produced Given that 560 mL of methane (CH₄) is liberated at STP, we can calculate the number of moles of methane using the formula: \[ \text{Moles of CH}_4 = \frac{\text{Volume of CH}_4}{\text{Volume at STP}} = \frac{560 \, \text{mL}}{22400 \, \text{mL/mol}} = 0.025 \, \text{mol} \] **Hint:** At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L (or 22400 mL). ### Step 2: Relate moles of alcohol (A) to moles of methane From the reaction of alcohol (A) with the Grignard reagent, we know that 1 mole of alcohol produces 1 mole of methane. Therefore, the moles of alcohol (A) used is also 0.025 mol. ### Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of alcohol (A) Given that 2.2 g of alcohol corresponds to 0.025 mol, we can find the molar mass: \[ \text{Molar mass of A} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{moles}} = \frac{2.2 \, \text{g}}{0.025 \, \text{mol}} = 88 \, \text{g/mol} \] ### Step 4: Determine the molecular formula of alcohol (A) Assuming the general formula for alcohol is \( C_nH_{2n+1}OH \), we can set up the equation for the molar mass: \[ 12n + (2n + 1) + 16 = 88 \] \[ 14n + 17 = 88 \] \[ 14n = 71 \Rightarrow n = 5.07 \approx 5 \] Thus, the molecular formula of alcohol (A) is \( C_5H_{12}O \). ### Step 5: Identify the structure of alcohol (A) The structure of alcohol (A) can be represented as: \[ \text{C}_5\text{H}_{11}\text{OH} \quad (\text{Pentanol}) \] ### Step 6: Dehydration of alcohol (A) Upon dehydration, alcohol (A) will form an alkene. The possible alkene structures could be: 1. 2-pentene 2. 3-pentene ### Step 7: Ozonolysis of the alkene Ozonolysis of the alkene will yield ketone (B) and another compound (C). The ozonolysis of 2-pentene will give acetone (B) and formaldehyde (C). ### Step 8: Determine the nitrogen percentage in oxime of ketone (B) The oxime of ketone (B) contains 19.17% nitrogen. The molar mass of acetone (C₃H₆O) is 58 g/mol. The oxime structure is \( C_3H_5NO \). Calculating the percentage of nitrogen in the oxime: \[ \text{Percentage of N} = \frac{14}{58} \times 100 \approx 24.14\% \] This indicates that the oxime structure might not be acetone. However, if we consider the oxime of 3-pentanone, we can calculate: \[ \text{Molar mass of 3-pentanone (C₅H₁₀O)} = 86 \, \text{g/mol} \] \[ \text{Oxime (C₅H₁₁NO)} = 87 \, \text{g/mol} \] \[ \text{Percentage of N} = \frac{14}{87} \times 100 \approx 16.09\% \] ### Step 9: Oxidation of alcohol (A) Alcohol (A) on oxidation gives ketone (D) with the same number of carbon atoms, which is also 3-pentanone. ### Conclusion The structure of ketone (B) is 3-pentanone, which can be represented as: \[ \text{B: } \text{C}_5\text{H}_{10}\text{O} \text{ (3-pentanone)} \] ### Final Answer The structure of ketone (B) is: \[ \text{3-Pentanone} \] ---
