6Kekulé suggested that benzene had the structure cyclohexa-1,3,5-triene.
The enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is -120kJ/mol, and that of benzene is -208kJ/mol.
This shows that- AKekulé's model is correct
- BBenzene is more thermodynamically stable than Kekulé's model suggests
- CBenzene is less thermodynamically stable than Kekulé's model suggests
- DBenzene is more reactive than Kekulé's model suggests
7Racemic mixtures are optically inactive.

- BFalso
8What is the reducing agent used to reduce aldehydes and ketones to alcohols?
- AHydrogen
- BSodium tetrahydridoborate(III)
- CTollens' reagent
- DAcidifed potassium dichromate(VI)
9Which of the following are products of a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction?
- AHydrochloric acid
- BWater

- GTetrachloroaluminate ion
10A chiral compound is one which exhibits geometric isomerism.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
11Which of the following is NOT a reason why ethanoic anhydride is preferred over ethanoyl chloride in the industrial synthesis of aspirin?
- AEthanoic anhydride reacts more easily with salicylic acid.
- BEthanoic anhydride is cheaper.
- CEthanoic anhydride is safer.
- DEthanoic anhydride does not react easily with water.
12What is the reduction product of the reaction of an aldehyde with Tollens' reagent?

- CNucleophilic substitution
- DNucleophilic addition
15Ethanoic anhydride is more reactive than ethanoyl chloride.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
16When synthesising drugs, manufacturers often find that they make a racemate due to the chirality of the drug. The enantiomers can be hard to separate. For what TWO reasons is this a problem?
- AThe enantiomers reflect polarised light in opposite directions
- BEnzymes are specific to optical isomers, so one of them is likely to be ineffective
- COne of the isomers may have harmful side effects
- DRacemates are toxic
- ELaboratory reactions should never produce racemates
17Positive enantiomers reflect a plane of polarised light anticlockwise.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
18What are the products of the reaction of 1-ethylpropylbenzoate with water?
- APhenol and 2-methylbutanoic acid
- BPentan-3-ol and benzoic acid
- CPentan-2-ol and benzoic acid
- DPropanol and 1-ethylbenzoic acid
