I'd go witth something like this

Though, I'm not sure exactly what the full question is. I guess it's asking for NO3- ion
your answer is right , but how did you figure out that one will be double and the other two will be single bond?

PLEASE can anyone explain this question!!!!!.
calculate average bond energy of C-C bond in ethane given ΔHf(C2H6) = -85 KJ/mol , ΔHat(H)gas =218 KJ/mol and ΔHat(graphite) = 715 KJ/mol

I will follow through the question from beginning to let you know how examiner give you hints.
Code:
pattern:
-(information)
the deduction we can make from information

-Q is a sweet smelling liquid.
therefore it is an ester

-Q has Mr of 87.5
mass of C2H4O = 2*12+4+16=44
n=87.5/44~2
so the formula is C4H8O2

now we can see there can be three ester isomers. methyl propanoate, ethyl ethanoate and propyl methanoate. we will see from the following information which isomer it was and then we will go to the original question of finding R.

-the solution was hydrolysed. so the carboxyllic acid and alcohol are separated. there can be three kinds of acids and alcohols. methanol, ethanol, propanol, methanoic acid, ethanoic acid and propanoic acid.
- heating with an oxidising agent gives single reagent R
the alcohol will oxidise to produce aldehyde and then will produce carboxyllic acid. as a single compound is formed, both carboxylic acid from ester and oxidised form alcohol are same. the only option we are left with is ethyl ethanoate. which will hydrolyse to ethanol and ethanoic acid. ethanol will then oxidise to ethanal. ethanal will oxidise to ethanoic acid. as the test for C=O and CHO are negative there is no aldehyde. the only thing left is ethanoic acid.

i hope it clears the confusion and helps in reaching conclusions in similar questions.
good luck for the papers :)

Seriously dimaagh khraab hogya hai 7 or 8 page num tha Q5 tha but forget it wo hogya
w08 ka Q1 bii and c part please :/
(b)(ii)
one mol of diesel requires 23 mol of O2. one mol of H2O2 produce 1/2 moles of O2. so it 2*23 = 46 mol of H2O2 will be required
(c)
Mr = (15*12)+32=212
mass = 212 tonnes = 212X10^6 grams
n(diesel)=mass/mr=212X10^6 grams /212=1X10^6 mol
n(H2O2)=(46)*n(diesel)=46* 1X10^6=46X10^6 moles
Mr of H2O2=2+16+16=34
Mass of H2O2 = n(H2O2)*34=46X10^6*32=1564X10^6 grams = 1564 tonnes

Ur good in organic, physical or inorganic ?
