Both compounds a and b have molecular formula c6h14. monochlorination of compound a results in the formation of two constitutional isomers. monochlorination of compound b results in the formation of four constitutional isomers. identify compounds a and b, and show the products of each monochlorination.

1) draw compound a and the products of its monochlorination.

2)draw compound b and the products of its monochlorination.

The name of the two compounds will be:

A :2,2-dimethylbutane

B:  3-methylpentane

Explanation:

The compounds are the isomers of  hexane as per the given molecular formula.

There is no unsaturation or no ring is present in the compound.

Constitutional isomers are the one which have different arrangement of chain.

The possible compounds are shown in the figure with the products of monochlorination of the two isomers.

Thus there are five possible isomers of hexane.

- aluminum and copper chloride.

- the chloride ion to separate the aluminum from the oxygen so that the aluminum can react with the copper ions (and the water molecules).
