The most extensively used organic compound in the chemical industry is ethene (C,H4). The two equations C2H4(g) + Cl2 (g) 2CH¾C1½(g) C2H4CI2 (g)=C2H;Cl(g) + HCl(g) represent the way in which vinyl chloride (C,H;CI) is syn- thesized for eventual use in polymeric plastics (polyvinyl chloride, PVC). The byproduct of the reaction, HCI, is now most cheaply made by this and similar reactions, rathcr than by dircct combination of H, and Cl2. Hcat is given off in the first reaction and taken up in the second. Describe how you would design an industrial process to maximize the yield of vinyl chloride.

Structural Isomers: Alkanes One of the reasons for the complexity of carbon compounds is that it can bond (catenate) with itself. Oils are mostly made up of hydrocarbons, for 'saturated' compounds, these obey the formula CnH2n+2. The empirical formula (unlike benzene) will vary with n. Now we have established C is tetrahedral, how many structural (skeletal) isomers can we find for n=6, hexane C6H14 ? 1) Sketch all the isomers. What procedure did you use to make sure you didn’t miss any ? Do you think you could you do this now for heptane C7H16 ?! (Hint: 9 different ‘skeletal’ topologies) Note the number of possible isomers increases in highly exponential way. C10 – 75 isomers C15 – 4,347 isomers C20 - 366,319 isomers !!
