Three: ortho (1,2), meta (1,3), and para (1,4). The substituents are identical, so 1,5 is the same as 1,3 and 1,6 is the same as 1,2.

What shape is the structure of xylene?

Xylene is a ring of hydrocarbons, with some secondary structures attached like branches. The location of the branches on the main ring change depending on the specific type of xylene.


How do you differentiate between para-xylene and ortho-xylene?

Probably the easiest way is to take an NMR and look at the aromatic region (7-8 chemical shift).  p-xylene has 4 equivalent aromatic protons (giving only 1 peak in the 7-8 region), but o-xylene has two pairs of equivalent protons (giving 2 peaks in the 7-8 region).


Which is the azeotrope concentration of water-xylene system?

The azeotrope concentration of a water-xylene system is approximately 71.4% xylene and 28.6% water by weight at a temperature of 73.5 degrees Celsius. This azeotrope forms when the vapor and liquid phases have the same composition, making it difficult to separate the two components by distillation.


Why xylene is used to determine water content in crude oil by dean and stark method?

Xylene is used in the Dean and Stark method to help separate water from the crude oil sample. When the mixture of crude oil and xylene is heated, the water present in the sample is distilled over, making it easier to quantify the water content accurately. Xylene helps to enhance the separation of water from the crude oil during the distillation process.


What is the point group of dimethylbenzene?

Dimethylbenzene, commonly known as xylene, has several isomers, including ortho, meta, and para xylene. The point group of ortho-xylene is (D_{2h}), while meta-xylene belongs to the (C_{2v}) point group, and para-xylene is classified as (D_{2h}). The specific point group depends on the arrangement of the methyl groups on the benzene ring, affecting the symmetry elements present.

Which type of isomers are o-xylene m-xylene and p-xylene?

o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene are positional isomers, meaning they have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of the substituent groups on the benzene ring.

How do you convert 1liter of xylene into 1kg?

To convert 1 liter of xylene to 1 kg, you would need to know the density of xylene. Assuming the density is around 0.87 g/cm^3, 1 liter of xylene would weigh approximately 870 grams (0.87 kg). To reach 1 kg, you would need around 1.15 liters of xylene.
