Question

Compounds X and Y are isomers of C10H22. Predict the condensed molecular
formula of X and Y.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cr(H2O)5ClBr2⟶ 2 moles of particle.

It compoubnd is [Cr(H2O)4(Br2)]Cl.H2O

It gives [Cr(H2O)4Br2]+,Clˉ⇒ Two particles.

So, X=[Cr(H2O)4Br2]Cl.H2O

If Y=[Cr(H2O)5Cl]Br2

It gives [Cr(H2O)5Cl2+,2Brˉ⇒ 3 particles.

Answer 2

Isomers of Decane ($C_{10}H_{22}$ )

Explanation:

• Isomers that has same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms
• Isomers has diff. physical and chemical properties irrespective of their same formula
• The process of the isomers is called isomerisation

• Straight chain of $C_{10}H_{22}$ is decane It consists of ten carbon atom

• There are approx 75 isomers of decane. X and Y could be any.

• So the two isomers which could be possible are 2 methyl Nonane and 3 methyl Nonane
