Problem Uno Organic Chemistry
Write the structural Formulas for two stable isomers X and Y that have the molecular formula C2H4O2. Select a physical property and a chemical property that would distinguish between the two isomers in the laboratory. Explain.
Distinguishing physical property: Solubility because the two molecules intermolecular forces vary greatly • Distinguishing chemical property: pH of solution. The solution on the left has an alcohol on it which usually implies that it’s basic
