can someone tell me wht happens when a nitrile reacts with an acid?
The cynide ion gets replaced with wht?

Where can I find very good Chemistry paper 6B notes?

Please advise

There are only 5 papers.

thanks bro

This is hydrolysis of nitrile, catalysed by the acid. Simply replace the nitrile group with carboxlic acid group.
Eg:
CH3CN ---------(HCl(aq), heat under reflux) --------> CH3COOH

thank u

wa alaykum salaam
Firstly, I'm so mad I concentrated so much on this and then realised it was A2 afterwards...
I haven't done A2 so I may be wrong but it seems like compound D has to be a carbonyl compound, and the functional group you've given is not a carbonyl compound.

Hahahaha Atleast u tried
Umm its actually some reaction of iodomethane in A2 part

Ok y are u saying it shud be carbonyl compound?

In the question it says it reacts with 2,4-DNPH

Oh my lord!
idk wat the hell I hve been reading xP
Thankyew....I got it finally xD

Can anyone explain this to me? Thank You.!

E. Change of formation of CO2= -395kjmol^-1
E. Change of formation of H2O= -297kimol^-1
E. Change of combustion of C2H6= -1620kJmol^-1

Calculate the enthalpy of the formation of ethane.
[-2(395)+3(-297)]-(-1620)
= -61kJmol^-1

WHY?

[-2(395)+3(-297)]-(-1620)
= -61kJmol^-1

WHY?

Use Hess's Law and construct a cycle

2C + 3H2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H20 (These are the Del H of formation of CO2 and H20)
C2H6 + 3.5O2 ----> 2CO2 + 3H20 ( Del H of Comb of ethane)

As you can see both have the same products,hence you can construct a cycle and work out how C2H6 can be formed from 2C and 3H2.The cycle would give

2(-395) + 3(-297) = Del H of formation + (-1620)

Solve it and you'll get -61 kJ/mol

WHY?

Construct an equation for combustion of ethane.

C2H6 + 3.5O2 ----> 2CO2 + 3H20

Heat of combustion (reaction) = heat of formation of products - heat of formation of reactants

Asak ppl
can someone tell me in Q4 (d) for reaction 2, is heating necessary ?

Reaction is ES so will require Cl2+AlCl3/FeCl3

yea thats wat my miss taught me but ms says heat :/

U= C4H6O
Draw the displayed formula of two structural isomers of U that each contain the same functional groups as U:
IS THIS CORRECT??? If not can anyone explain WHY??

HNE is a reactive compound.
CH3(CH2) 4CH(OH)CH=CHCHO
(c) Give the structural formulae of all of the carbon-containing compounds formed in each case when HNE is reacted separately with the following reagents.

(i) hot concentrated manganate(VII) ions in acid solution.

So what I came up with is: CH3(CH2)4CH(OH)CO2H + HO2CHO

but in the markscheme the OH- group and the CHO group have also been oxidised giving: CH3(CH2)4COCO2H and HO2CCO2H

What i don't get is that it says manganate ions, not dichromate, so how can the alcohol and the aldehyde group get oxidised as well?

 

[princess Anu]

Q what will be the result of oxidising this compound with Hot conc K2cR2O7.
Acc to me there should be no change!! any help will be appreciated!

Well,isnt KMnO4 an oxidising agent?IT IS first and foremost,its the conditions that cause it to break the C=C,but along with that it will oxidise anything it can ,which include the OH and COH groups.

It isnt just for breaking the C=C,it oxidises too and that you shouldnt forget.Both k2cr207 and kmn04 oxidise equally,its that the conditions of kmn04 give some unique qualities to it,but if it oxidises in hot and conc form,it'll be most effective and oxidise all fully,as well as break the bond.

Are you sure its Hot Conc K2Cr2O7 and not KMnO4?

 

[princess Anu]

Yeah, its not a CIE question..
I am just confused that is it correct to say that k2cr2O7 doesn't react with alkene under any conditions whatsoever? or can it react under hot conc conditions?
