6. What are the reaction conditions for acid hydrolysis?

  • cold aqueous NaOH and reflux
  • hot aqueous HCl and reflux
  • cold aqueous HCl and reflux
  • hot aqueous NaOH and reflux

7. What observations would you record during the bromination of phenol?

  • Solution changes colour from orange to brown
  • Orange colour disappears -> colourless solution
  • Orange colour disappears - white ppt formed
  • Solution changes colour from orange to green

8. What are the reaction conditions for reaction of potassium dichromate and a primary alcohol?

  • heat under reflux
  • RTP
  • heat under reflux, distill immediately

9. What conditions and reagents would you use for transesterification?

  • conc NaBH4 and reflux
  • methanol and NaOH catalyst
  • methanol and KOH catalyst
  • conc HCl and reflux

10. How would you carry out a test to determine whether a compound was an aldehyde or a ketone?

  • Heat gently with tollens reagent, silver mirror = aldehyde
  • Heat gently with tollens reagent, silver mirror = ketone
  • Heat gently with 2,4-DNPH - orange precipitate = aldehyde
  • Oxidise with K2Cr2O7/H2SO4 - colour change of solution = ketone

11. What are the reaction conditions and reagents for bromination of phenol?

  • Bromine water, RTP
  • HBr + RTP
  • HBr + 50 degrees temp
  • Bromine water, halogen carrier

12. How would you reduce an aldehyde to form a primary alcohol?

  • add NaBH4 and reflux
  • add NaBH4 and methanol
  • add conc HCl and tin
  • add NaBH4 and ethanol

13. What observations would you record reacting potassium dichromate with a primary alcohol?

  • Oxidising agent changes colour from yellow to orange
  • White precipitate formed
  • Oxidising agent changes colour from orange to green
  • Oxidising agent changes colour from orange to blue

14. What are the reaction conditions and reagents for halogenation of benzene?

  • HCl/HBr + RTP
  • HCl/HBr + heat under reflux
  • Halogen carrier + RTP
  • Halogen carrier + heat under reflux

15. What are the conditions for a coupling reaction?

  • KOH catalyst and methanol
  • aqueous alkaline conditions
  • concentrated NaOH catalyst
  • aqueous acidic conditions

16. How would you carry out a test to distinguish a carboxylic acid from a ketone?

  • Add solid carbonate - fizzing as CO2 given off = aldehyde/ketone
  • Oxidise with K2Cr2O7/H2SO4 - colour change = carboxylic acid
  • React with 2,4-DNPH, orange precipitate = aldehyde/ketone
  • Heat gently with tollens reagent, silver mirror = carboxylic acid
