and 0.147 of H2O. Calculate the molecular formula. If the relative molecular
mass is 148.

(4) Give the structure of 4-ethy-3-methylcyclohexene

Ans: Check online

(5) Why does propanol boil at higher temperature than the corresponsing
hydrocarbons

Ans: The large increase in the boiling point of alcohols as the number of
hydroxyl groups increases is caused by a greater degree of hydrogen
bonding between the molecules, Making it higher than the corresponding
hydrocarbons

(6) Markovnikoff's rule states that ______

Ans: The rule states that with the addition of a protic acid HX or other
polar reagent to an asymmetric alkene, the acid hydrogen (H) or
electropositive part gets attached to the carbon with more hydrogen
substituents, and the halide (X) group or electronegative part gets
attached to the carbon with more alkyl substituents.

(7) Terminal alkynes are alkynes _______

Ans: Terminal alkynes are those alkynes whose Triple Bond is attached to
the first carbon along the carbon chain

(8) Tautomerism is defined as ____

Ans: Tautomerism is a phenomenon where a single chemical compound

tends to exist in two or more interconvertible structures that are different
in terms of the relative position of one atomic nucleus which is generally
the hydrogen

(9) Ozonolysis is defined as _______

Ans: Ozonolysis is the reaction of ozone with an alkene or alkyne in order

to produce an ozonide as an intermediate Product.

(10) Catenation is defined as _______

Ans: Catenation is defined as the ability of carbon atom to bond covalently
with other atoms to form a long chain carbon.

Ans: Positional isomer

(5) Treatment of pentan-1-ol with pyridinium chlorochromate in CH2Clsub>2 is expected

to give _________

Ans: Pentanal

(6) POCl can be used in the presence of a base to convert alcohols to ______

Ans: Alkene

(7) How many isomers has this compoumd C6H20

Ans: 5 isomers

(8) Give the product of the reaction Below

Ans:

(9) In the addition reaction of propene with hcl, give the product formed.

Ans: CH3HC = CH2 + HCl → CH3CHClCH3

(10) Why is the boiling point of a branched chain alkanes lower than that of a straight
chained alkanes.

Ans: This is due to the fact that branching of the chain makes the molecule more
compact and thereby decreases the surface area. Therefore, the intermolecular
attractive forces which depend upon the surface area, also become small in magnitude
on account of branching. Consequently, the boiling points of the branched chain
alkanes are less than the straight chain isomers.
