Question
Chapter 48, Problem 1Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason due to which the products in the cracking of dicyclopentadieneare distilled very slowly needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Dicyclopentadiene has chemical formula C10H12. It is clear yellow color liquid with acrid odor. It is used in resins and also used in adhesives, pants and inks.
It is abbreviated as DCPD and the structure is represented as follows:
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1Q
The products are heated slowly to avoid the formation of dicyclopentadiene again.
Explanation of Solution
In the cracking of dicyclopentadiene, the products formed are as follows:
If the products heated strongly, both the products react to form the cyclic reactant again and following reaction take place.
Or,
Thus, to avoid the reverse reaction, products are heated slowly.
