Q39
ok here goes you see the 3 options given right? look closely at the 3rd option.. umm just open the file attached, it should make sense.. if it doesnt :p all you have to do is ask :p

Thankyou sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much !!!:) your explanation is quite clear...:D

Okay thing about Q 26 is you have to form reaction intermediates right?
i'm going to focus on why B (W and Y) is the correct answer.
W = CH3CH2CH3
Y = CH3CH=CH2

with W you react it with Br2 and you get a bromo-alkane with 3 carbons,
same as when you react Y with HBr you get the same bromo-alkane..

if you want more explanation regarding anything.. please ask,
sorry i'm feeling a bit too lazy to do all the working :p

looking at first choice .. it says its saturated (no double bond-alkane) and diol ( 2 OH group)
it has 4 carbon ,, you know alkane with 4 carbon (butane) has formula C4H8 ..
in this case replace 2 hydrogen with OH group (since its diol)
this gives you C4H6 (OH)2 which has molecular formula of 90 ...
since one is wrong ... answer is C

density = mass/ volume , so mass will be density multiply by volume.. and volume was in cm^3 so convert it to dm3... but if u dont want to, anyways u'll have to divide it by 1000 to change grams into kilograms..
oh ok thanks , so the ideal gas equation can actually be used for any gas ?

q 40 someone pleaseee explaainn!!


the bond will be broken from CO2 thats where the Na from NaOH will bond to oxygen.. it will not be 3 bcoz they have taken out the alkene completely so its wrong.. 2 is correct bcoz Na is bonded to O and the rest of the molecule is ok.. so definetly its going to be 1 also.. bcoz there is no option just for 2.. but u can still check it.. see if all the bonds are presnt or not and with OH which comes from NaOH

Thanks .. but can you explain it a bit more coz I still didn't understand why did the bond from CO2 break!
