To solve the problem, we need to determine the structure of RCl based on the reactions described. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Reactions 1. **RCl + Li → RLi**: This reaction indicates that RCl is being converted to an organolithium compound (RLi) using lithium in an ether solution. 2. **RLi + H2O → Isopentane**: The organolithium compound (RLi) reacts with water to form isopentane. Isopentane has the structure: \[ \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH} - \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH}_3 \] ...
