Click on the correct answer



1 Use the following information to answer this question.

1. CH3OH(l) - methanol
2. CaC2(s) - calcium carbide
3. HCOOH(aq) - methanoic acid
4. MgCO3(s) - magnesium carbonate
5. HCN(g) - hydrogen cyanide

The organic compounds in the list are:
1, 3 and 5
1, 3 and 4
1 and 4
2 and 3

2 The characteristic that isomers share is
chemical reactivity
boiling point
nomenclature
molar mass

3 A compound with the molecular formula, C4H9OH, would be classified as
an ester
an alcohol
an aldehyde
a ketone

4 A bromine diagnostic test is used to classify a colorless liquid as saturated or unsaturated. The test involves adding bromine water (Br2(aq)) to the liquid, mixing and observing the final color of the bromine water.

The evidence statement that would positively identify an unsaturated liquid compound is:
The mixture when shaken becomes yellow and solidifies.
The orange-brown bromine water does not change in color.
The colorless bromine water becomes orange-brown.
The orange-brown bromine water becomes colorless.

5 The dehydration of an alcohol produce alkenes. This is an example of the type of reaction called
combustion
elimination
substitution
addition

6 Which of the following pairs of substances are isomers?
dichloromethane and trichloromethane
propanoic acid and 1,2-propanediol
pentane and 2,3-dimethylbutane
1-butene and cyclobutane

7 In order to rank alkanes, alkenes and alkynes in terms of reactivity with the most reactive compounds listed first, the correct order is
alkynes, alkenes, alkanes
alkenes, alkynes, alkanes
alkanes, alkynes, alkenes
alkynes, alkanes, alkenes
