Chapter 2: 2.28 (page 80)

Draw the products formed when propan-2-ol $[{({CH}_{3})}_{2} CHOH]$ the main ingredient in rubbing alcohol, is treated with each acid or base: a. NaH b. $H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ c. ${Li}^{+} - N {[CH {({CH}_{3})}_{2}]}_{2}$ d. ${CH}_{3} {CO}_{2} H$

Short Answer

Step by step solution

Conjugate acid and conjugate bases

Conjugate acids and bases are obtained in two ways:

When a base abstract a proton
When an acid releases its proton

Properties of propane-2-ol

Propane-2-ol can behave as an acid as well as abase. In the reaction of propane-2-ol with an acid, it acts as a base, and vice versa.

Formation of conjugate acids and bases

a. NaH is a base. Here, propane-2-ol behaves as acid and form its conjugate acid and conjugate base as shown below:

Representation of conjugate acid and base of a

b. $H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ is an acid. Here, propane-2-ol behaves as a base and forms its conjugate acid and conjugate base as shown below:

Representation of conjugate acid and base of b

c. ${Li}^{+} - N {[CH {({CH}_{3})}_{2}]}_{2}$ is a base. Here, propane-2-ol behaves as acid and forms its conjugate acid and conjugate base as shown below:

Representation of conjugate acid and base of c

d. ${CH}_{3} {CO}_{2} H$ is an acid. Here, propane-2-ol behaves as a base and forms its conjugate acid and conjugate base as shown below:
