heyy!
can someone explain this please
Alkane X has molecular formula C4H10. X reacts with Cl 2(g) in the presence of sunlight to produce only two different monochloroalkanes, C4H9Cl. Both of these monochloroalkanes produce the same alkene Y, and no other organic products, when they are treated with hot ethanolic KOH. What is produced when Y is treated with hot concentrated acidified KMnO4?
A CO2 and CH3CH2CO2H
B CO2 and CH3COCH3
C HCO2H and CH3COCH3
D CH3CO2H only
The answer is B. But i thought it would be A.:unsure:
 
D

26 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.
2.30 g of ethanol were mixed with aqueous acidified potassium dichromate(VI).
The desired product was collected by immediate distillation under gentle warming. The yield of product was 70.0%.
What mass of product was collected?

A 1.54g
B 1.61g
C 2.10g
D 3.14g

why isn't it B and Y D?

In the question, you are only given the molecular formula of the compound which is C4H8. Yes, it's an alkene, but the structural formula is unknown.
During the hydrogenation of C4H8, it produces methylpropane. Therefore, before reaction of hydrogen, the alkene should have been 2-methylprop-1-ene.
Now, that you know the structural formula of the alkene, you can easily proceed with the question! =)
That's how I proceeded with the question- I do have a doubt for the last bit though :/20151104_171935.jpg

In a car engine, non-metallic element X forms a pollutant oxide Y. Further oxidation of Y to Z occurs spontaneously in the atmosphere. In this further oxidation, 1mol of Y reacts with 0.5mol of gaseous oxygen.

is it oxides of carbon or nitrogen?

which oxide are you talking about Y or Z

Mr of ethanol = 46
Mr of ethanoicacid = 60
n of ethanol = 0.05mol
1 : 1 ratio
mass of ethanoicacid = 0.05 * 60 * 70% = C
