Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

[asd]

Asalam alaikum brother.
Is the answer A?
In questions like these you have to keep in mind ALL the products that would be produced if the reactant is mixed separately with the substance in the options and all the required conditions are met.
I'll start with the incorrect one's first.
B) HCl; keeping our knowledge of organic chemistry in mind, this will be an addition reaction, in which the double bond will be changed into a single bond, giving room for the H and Cl to attach to DIFFERENT carbon atoms.
The products will be:
-> CH2CCl3
-> CHCl2CHCl2
Neither are chiral, lets move on to C.
C) NaCN; this would again lead to an addition reaction (nucleophilic), but if memory serves me, it only happens when there is a carbonyl group attached to a carbon atom. Incorrect.
D) NaOH; again, a nucleophilic substitution will occur BUT the C-C double bond will still remain, and for a carbon atom to be chiral it MUST have 4 different alkyl groups/atoms attached to it. Incorrect.

Now for the correct option, A.
Br2.
This will be an electrophilic addition reaction which involves the forming of a carbon cation thus resulting in the breaking to the double bond.
The only product will be:
-> CHClBrCCl2Br
Which is indeed chiral.

Do forgive me if I wrote anything incorrect. Allah knows best.

For B, two products will be formed? How will CH2CCl3 be formed?

guys, does anyone know how the marks are calculated for AS levels to get a mark out of 130?

 

[unseen95]

guys, does anyone know how the marks are calculated for AS levels to get a mark out of 130?

i guess its
obtained marks/130 × 100

Every paper (i.e: MCQs, Structured and Practical) holds a specific weightage.

I do not understand how to solve question no. 2(b) iv
Please explain how the answer is derived.
Thanks

Moles of NaOH that reacted with HCl will be the same as HCl's moles (ratio is 1:1) = 0.03.
Moles that you'll calculate in (iii) will be the total moles of NaOH in the initial reaction that took place with (NH4)2SO4 --> 0.1.
0.03 mol of NaOH are the moles that didnt react with (NH4)2SO4 and were titrated with HCl, as the question reads "The REMAINING NaOH was then titrated with 1.00moldm–3 HCl and 31.2cm3 were required for neutralisation."
So, moles that did react, 0.1 - o.03 = 0.7.

i have two questions from chemical energetics as level
molar enthalpy change of the reaction of pure sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is 49.5KJmol^-1
2.6g of washing soda was added to 50cm^3 of dilute hydrochloric acid in a plastic cup the temperature rose by 5C(specific heat capacity of the resulting solution=4.3) calculate the molar enthalpy change for the reaction of washing soda with dilute hcl
answer -43.8kjmol^-1

13= Only Aluminum can hydrolyse and form the complex acid ions (Al(H2o)6)+ + Cl- and also react with an acid to form a salt that is it has the amphoteric property !
8=C use PV=nRT and get the answer ! P and T have to remain the same,you can negate R here as its value is always same so it has no effect on the equation,remember Deuterium exists just like hydrogen,that is,D2 so its Mr is 4 now see which equation balances both side in such a way that the pressure p is exerted ! (ask if u still dont get )
9=A as C and D can easily be eliminated at first,the former being eliminated because the elements have no energy so they are at 0 and the latter because CO2 is formed in the reaction and its forming releases energy (exothermic) so it is the most stable compound having the least energy ! Now between A and B you have to see which if the options has actually used up most energy from outside in B the carbon has been changed to gaseous C but in A not only this happens but O2 has been broken into its radicals so it has to have the highest energy !
11= Answer is D,check if you are taking the mole ratio in account when doing the calculation of H2 and I2 moles at equi. At equi. HI has b-x and H2 and I2 have x/2 each ! now use partial pressure equations for all and u will use b as the total moles in it and when u get on to calculating Kp u will see that b andp (both squared ) get cancelled !

thanks a lot. May the Almighty bless u!
i'm still a bit confused about number 8. first i found the p of the given sample i e p=nT/V where n=2/2 which equals 1. In C, Mr is 4, so the no of moles is 3(total mass)/4, so the equation is 3T/4V which is not equal to p help me out. Why isnt the ans A?or B?

You have two questions can u tell me the two seperately by numbering em because i cant get which one is which ???? Ill solve it as soon as u do it !

Heres why !
First the answer we are looking for !
PV=(2/2)RT

A- total moles = 2/4 =0.5
and so the overall equation is !
PV=0.5nRT which is impractical !

B- total moles = 4/4 =1
P(V/2)=nRT the volume if it was in A,then it would have been right but thats not the case !

C- remember moles for different compounds or elements cant be found by one equation u have to find them individually thats one basic mistake !
total moles = 1/2(H2) + 2/4 (D2) =1
PV=nRT (the correct answer )

D- total moles = 2/2 + 1/4 = 1.25
2PV=1.25nRT (not possible)

[aalmuhannadi]

Anyone know how to do this please?

I know the answer has to be either A or C since it's trans, but I have no clue how to calculate the number of double bonds... I thought it would be two as there's a C=C double bond in a cyclohexene ring and the other is given in the question between Carbons 11 and 12 (aldehyde doesn't count as there's no C=C bond). So how would you arrive at a total of 5?

Asalam-o-Alaikum!
For this question, you have to draw the whole structure out. They tell you the molecular formula: C20H28O and they also tell you that it has: a cyclohexene , the aldehyde group (at the end of the aliphatic chain) and the long aliphatic chain.
So you start out with drawing the cyclohexene whose molecular formula would be C6H9 . This means that now you cancel out this from the C20H28O, so that you're now left with: C14H19O. Now as you have drawn the cyclohexene, you join the aliphatic chain containing 14 carbons. and then add in the aldehyde group in the end. this now means that you're left with 18 hydrogens. moving on, you have to count the eleventh carbon in this aliphatic chain and draw in the double bond and the cis bit. uptil now we have how many double bonds? only 2. yes? so now keeping in mind that we have 13 carbons that we need to bond the hydrogens to (14th carbon is not counted since it has the aldehyde group) and since we only have 18 hydrogens, we know that there MUST be some double bonds in this chain apart from the 11th & 12th double bond. how many? that is what we have to find out...either 4 or 3 MORE double bonds...after you've drawn out everything you'll find that we needed 3 MORE double bonds in the aliphatic chain...so now we add up all the double bonds in the structure! 1 in the cyclohexene, 1 between the 11th & 12th carbon, and 3 more! that makes 5 double bonds. your final answer is A.
