Hexane (the six carbon hydrocarbon)? Yes?

Question

Draw all of the structural isomers of hexane that you can devise

Answer 1

draw six dots on a bit of paper.
Join them up with lines.
Thats one isomer
Now draw six new dots
join them up with different lines
thats another isomer



rinse repeat till you got em all

Answer 2

There is more information than needed in the question to confuse you. All you need is the density, and the mass per mole. This is a straightforward conversion problem. Since you are told in the problem, that you have 1 mole each, you already know that there are 86.18g of Hexane, and 88.15g of Pentanol. So to solve for milliliters you have to multiply each weight by the density (making sure to use grams in the denominator). Since the density .814 g/ml is a 1:1 ratio, you can flip it to say 1ml/.814g as well. Therefore your answers are Hexane: 86.18g X (1ml/.660g) =130.6ml Pentanol: 88.15g X (1ml/.814g) =108.3ml

Answer 3

I believe there is only one 'isomer' of hexane.

Answer 4

I ain't drawing them all but, here's what I came up with: -

2-methyl pentane, 3-methyl pentane,
2,2- dimethyl butane, 2,3-dimethyl butane
2-ethyl butane, 3-ethyl butane

(A branch cannot come off Carbon No. 1)

Answer 5

Yes
a bit hard to draw here H3C-CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
H3C(CH3)CHCH2CH2CH3
(H3C)2CCH2CH2CH3
H3CCH2CH(CH3)CHCH3
(H3CCH2)CHCH2CH2CH3
(CH3)3CCH2CH3
etc.etc.
