Question

An unidentified compound (A) was reacted with bleach using the same experimental protocol as that performed in the lab. Molecule B was formed. Answering the questions below should allow you to interpret the following information in order to determine the structures of A and B. The complete combustion of 2. 0000 g of B yield 5. 1085 g CO2 and 2. 0917 g H2O. B does not have a titratable proton. Question #2: Given that the reaction described was the same as the one performed in the lab, what does the absence of a titratable proton on B tell you about the major functional group(s) of the product in the oxidation reaction and the reactant, A? Explain the reasoning behind each answer

Explanation / Answer

Absence of the titrable proton tells us that the functional group is basic in nature.
