Pregunta
Kekulé 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

Respuesta
  • Hydrogen
  • Sodium tetrahydridoborate(III)
  • Tollens' reagent
  • Acidifed potassium dichromate(VI)

  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Water
  • Acyl chloride
  • Aromatic ketone
  • Benzene
  • Acylium ion

Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
Which of the following is NOT a reason why ethanoic anhydride is preferred over ethanoyl chloride in the industrial synthesis of aspirin?
Respuesta
  • Ethanoic anhydride reacts more easily with salicylic acid.
  • Ethanoic anhydride is cheaper.
  • Ethanoic anhydride is safer.

Respuesta
  • Nucleophilic substitution
  • Nucleophilic addition
  • Electrophilic substitution
  • Electrophilic addition

Pregunta
Ethanoic anhydride is more reactive than ethanoyl chloride.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
When 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?
Respuesta
  • The enantiomers reflect polarised light in opposite directions
  • Enzymes are specific to optical isomers, so one of them is likely to be ineffective
  • One of the isomers may have harmful side effects
  • Racemates are toxic
  • Laboratory reactions should never produce racemates

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
Positive enantiomers reflect a plane of polarised light anticlockwise.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
What are the products of the reaction of 1-ethylpropylbenzoate with water?
Respuesta
  • Phenol and 2-methylbutanoic acid
  • Pentan-3-ol and benzoic acid
  • Pentan-2-ol and benzoic acid
  • Propanol and 1-ethylbenzoic acid
