Question

What factor is most important in determining the chemistry of an organic molecule?

Question 21 options:

the functional groups

the number of carbon-carbon bonds

the number of carbon-hydrogen bonds

the number of branches in the carbon chain

Question 22 options:

enantiomers

cis-trans isomers

totally different molecules

constitutional isomers

An unknown compound B has been determined to be either propanal, propanoic acid or propanol. The unknown is fairly soluble in water and reacts when treated with Benedict's Solution. What is the identity of the unknown?

Question 23 options:

propanol

Insufficient information provided; can't determine.

propanoic acid

propanal

An unknown compound B has been determined to be either propanal, propanoic acid or propanol. The unknown is fairly soluble in water and reacts when treated with Benedict's Solution. What is the organic product from the reaction with the Benedict's Solution?

Question 24 options:

propanol

propanal

propanoic acid

propane

An unknown alcohol of molecular formula C4H10O forms only one alkene when treated with H2SO4. No reaction is observed when the alcohol is treated with an oxidizing agent. Name the alcohol.

Question 25 options:

2-butanol

2-methyl-2-propanol

2-methyl-1-propanol

1-butanol

the functional groups

the number of carbon-carbon bonds

the number of carbon-hydrogen bonds

the number of branches in the carbon chain

H-C-H HC-H HO-C-H H-C-OH Cl CI

Explanation / Answer

21. Option A, since it the functional group

22. Structures are not clear

23. Option D, Propanal since it gives positive test with Benedict's reagent. Only aldehydes gives this test

24. Option C, propanoic acid. Since Benedict Reagent acts as oxidizing agent and oxidizes the aldehyde to carboxylic acid.

25. Option B, 2-methyl-2-propanol. Since it is tertiary alcohol hence it won't undergo oxidation and gives only one alkene on elimination.
