Free radical substitution reactions are initiated by the homolytic bond fission of the chlorine molecule .. And we know this.
keeping this in mind .. we can cross out Option A and B
So now i recommend you to draw both the isomers ie 1-Chloropropane and 2-Chloropropane
Now lets take 1-Chloropropane ..
You can see that the chlorine atom can be placed in three different orientation on the carbon number 1 and also you can see that there are 2 possibilities of obtaining 1-Chloropropane therefore altogether there will be 6 orientations for Chlorine atom in 1-Chloropropane
Similarly for 2-Chloropropane there will be only 2 orientation .. and hence when you find their ratio ie 6 : 2 you get it as 3 : 1

Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.

Ferrochrome is an alloy of iron and chromium. Ferrochrome can be dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid to produce a mixture of FeSO4 and Cr2(SO4)3. The FeSO4 reacts with K2Cr2O7 in acid solution according to the following equation.

14H+ + 6Fe2+ + Cr2O7 2– → 2Cr3+ + 6Fe3+ + 7H2O

When 1.00g of ferrochrome is dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid, and the resulting solution titrated, 13.1cm3 of 0.100moldm–3 K2Cr2O7 is required for complete reaction. What is the percentage by mass of Fe in the sample of ferrochrome?

A 1.22 B 4.39 C 12.2 D 43.9

How do we solve this??

Correct answer is D.

Aluminium carbide, Al 4C3, reacts readily with aqueous sodium hydroxide. The two products of the

reaction are NaAlO2 and a hydrocarbon. Water molecules are also involved as reactants.

What is the formula of the hydrocarbon?

A CH4
B C2H6
C C3H8
D C6H12
someone explain this plz the answer is A

Plug in the numbers from the table, for B, there are 5 I atoms in the right side. The rest of the equation fits too, check it out using trial and error.


I suppose it is A. Balance the equations using trial and error. 1m of Butanoic acid completely combusts with 5m of O2.

Correct answer is D.

0.1 x 13.1/1000 = 1.31 x 10^-3. 1 mole reacts with 6 moles of iron, so 6 x 1.31 x 10^-3 = 7.86 x 10^-3. 1 / 7.86 x 10^-3 = 127.226 (molar mass of ferrochrome.)
55.8/127.226 x 100 = 43.9, 55.8 being the molar mass of iron.

A 1.22 B 4.39 C 12.2 D 43.9

Correct answer is D.

First find the number of moles of K2Cr2O7
n = Vc
13.1*10^-3 *0.100 =1.31*10^-3 moles

As we know the mole ratio of Fe2+ to Cr2O7 2– we can cross multiply and find the number of moles of Fe2+ that have reacted with 1.31*10^-3 moles of Cr2O7 2–, which is equal to 7.86*10^-3 Moles
The Mr of Fe is 55.8g, so then multiply 7.86*10^-3 Moles of Fe2+ with it Mr to get the mass of iron that have reacted with K2Cr2O7 which is equal to 0.439

And then finally find the percentage by mass , 0.439/1*100 = 43.9%

Make sure you round off all the values to an appropriate significant figure when writing and remember to carry the Answers in your calculator for an accurate calculation :)

The Sarcastic Retard qwertypoiu I need help in this question ...

Here i have posted the link for the question paper and my doubt is in question no 21 ....
I have even posted the explanation for Q21 which was answered previously .... My doubt is I don't get what they are trying to say in the part where i have highlighted ... so can one of you clarify it to me further.. Thanks in advance

https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...sLm9yZ3x0ZWFjaGVyc3xneDoxYmI0OTYwOWIyZDRmNWVj

If the compound was an alkane and had no rings or double bonds, number of H atoms present = 2n+2 = 2(20)+2 = 42

Now, every time there're 2H less, you'll either have a double bond or a ring. The question states that there's one aldehyde (C=O) and 1 ring structure which has 1 C=C so this accounts for 6 missing Hydrogens, thereby leaving you with 8 missing Hydrogens.

8/2 = 4 Hydrogens in the aliphatic side chain.

However, total C=C are 5 because you have to include the C=C from the cyclohexene + cis formation hence A
I will assume you have understood the parts you did not highlight. So there would have been 42 hydrogen atoms, if it were just a straight chain alkane. We wish for only 28 to be left.
6 hydrogen atoms are accounted for by the presence of aldehyde and ring structure. So 42-6 = 36 we'd expect now.
However we wish for 28. We need to eliminate 36-28= 8 more hydrogen atoms.
Every time a double bond is added to a saturated chain, 2 hydrogen atoms are gotten rid of.
Therefore, 8/2 = 4 double bonds required to satisfy our condition.

Reaction => Al4C3 + 4NaOH + 4H2O --> 4NaAlO2 + 3CH4. You'll end up at this if you try to balance the equation.

K2O + H2SO4 ----> K2SO4 + H2O
Moles of acid = 15/1000*2 = 0.03mol
Moles of K2O in 25cm3 = 0.03mol, due to ratio.
Moles of K2O in 250cm3, = 0.03*10 = 0.3mol
Mass = (39.1*2+16)*0.3 = 28.26g
