how it can be alchol...when it was written tht X will not react carboxtlic acid to make ester!! :/
that was a tertiary alcohol, they refluxed it with K2Cr2O7 , then it gave sodium with hydrogen, but didnt esterified with ethanol because it was an alcohol, it didnt reacted with 24 dinitro because tertiary alcohols are not oxidised. So in the end alcohol is the answer

it said in two steps. this becomes 3. first to aldehydes than to acid. and u need further heating for that. i think it was that kcn one.
When you substitute a cyanide ion, no of carbons increase, if you had put KCN you had end up with butanoic acid, but since the no off carbon atoms is same so it was NaOH(aq) followed by oxidation.

For all those people saying that ester hydrolysis question was 50, 50% thats wrong.
Propyl Ethanoate on Alkaline Hydrolysis produces : C3H7OH and CH3COONa
So Mass of C3H7OH = 60 g
Mass of CH3COONa = 82 g
Total Mass : 142 gram
Now expressing as percentages.
60/142= 42.3 %
82/142 = 57.7 %
Hope that Helps :D

Answer to the equilibrium question was D (2P <---> Q+2R)
Answer to largest overall dipole was B
Answer to ester hydrolysis was C 42.3% and 57.7%
Answer to coiine question was IMO B (unclear)


btw what was the answer to the 3 possible products When HBr reacts with the two cis-trans structures?

it was given that only organic products were extracted!! for that we wont count Na mass!

Acha? Then we should have only calculated the Alcohols percentage, Oh wait the question demanded both. Taking Na out, please elaborate what we get? Exactly nothing. We had to include Na in our calculation!
