Onlye meta xylene will react because the ch3 groups will activate the same places for the Cl
Answer for c, very similar explanation, the methyl groups in the compound from below will activate the same space for the Cl to join
*hope it helps =)

When a mixture containing one mole each of the three dimethylbenzenes (o-, m-, and p-xylene) is treated with one mole of chlorine in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, one of the three hydrocarbons is monochlorinated in 100% yield, whereas the other two remain completely untouched. a. Which isomer reacts? (m-zylene, o-zylene, or p-zylene?) b. Draw the product expected. c. The same experiment carried out on a mixture of the following three trimethylbenzenes gives a similar outcome. Draw the...
Problem 4.40 Sequential Distillation A liquid mixture containing 30.0 mole% benzene (B), 25.0% toluene (T), and the balance xylene (X) is fed to a distillation column. The bottoms product contains 98.0 mole% X and no B, and 85.5% of the X in the feed is recovered in this stream. The overhead product is fed to a second column. The overhead product from the second column contains 91.0% of the B in the feed to this column. The composition of this...
QUESTIONS 1. What is the purpose of the sulfuric acid (yes, it's a catalyst, but why is it a catalyst? What is it doing that makes the reaction possible? Would the reaction just go slower without it, or would the reaction not go at all? Why?) 2. If isobutyl alcohol (2 methyl propanol) is used instead of tert butyl alcohol, a mixture of products is obtained. One the products is the same as the product obtained with the tert butyl...

Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
