    What are the conditions in the production of butan-1-ol from 1-Chlorobutane?

    • A.

      Boil

    • B.

      Warm

    • C.

      Warm Under Reflux

    • D.

      Boil Under Reflux

    • E.

      Ice cold water from Atlantic Ocean

    Correct Answer
    C. Warm Under Reflux
    Explanation
    The conditions in the production of butan-1-ol from 1-Chlorobutane require warming the reaction mixture under reflux. Refluxing involves heating the reaction mixture while continuously condensing and returning any volatile components that evaporate back into the reaction vessel. This allows for a more efficient and controlled reaction, ensuring that the reactants are heated and mixed thoroughly. Boiling alone may not be sufficient to achieve the desired conversion, and ice cold water from the Atlantic Ocean is irrelevant to the production process.

    What are the reagents used in the production of ethanenitrile from Bromoethane?

    • A.

      Air

    • B.

      NaOH

    • C.

      KBR

    • D.

      KOH

    • E.

      KCN

    Correct Answer
    E. KCN
    Explanation
    To produce ethanenitrile from bromoethane, KCN (potassium cyanide) is used as the reagent. KCN reacts with bromoethane through a substitution reaction, where the bromine atom is replaced by a cyano group (CN). This reaction is known as nucleophilic substitution, and KCN acts as a source of the nucleophile (CN-). The other reagents listed (air, NaOH, KBr, KOH) do not play a role in this specific reaction and are therefore not used for the production of ethanenitrile from bromoethane.

    What are the conditions used in the production of ethanenitrile from Bromoethane?

    • A.

      Warm Under Reflux

    • B.

      Cool Under Reflux

    • C.

      Boil under Reflux

    • D.

      Boil

    • E.

      Warm

    Correct Answer
    C. Boil under Reflux
    Explanation
    Boiling under reflux is the correct condition for the production of ethanenitrile from Bromoethane. Reflux involves heating a reaction mixture and continuously condensing the vapors that are formed back into the reaction flask. This allows for a more efficient reaction as any volatile components are not lost to evaporation. In the case of producing ethanenitrile from Bromoethane, boiling under reflux ensures that the reaction proceeds at a controlled temperature, allowing for the formation of the desired product.

    Correct Answer
    B. Ammonia (NH3)
    Explanation
    Ammonia (NH3) is used as the reagent in the production of Propylamine from Chloropropane. Ammonia acts as a nucleophile and reacts with Chloropropane through a nucleophilic substitution reaction, where the chlorine atom is replaced by an amino group (-NH2). This reaction is known as the Hofmann rearrangement. Ammonia is a common reagent in organic synthesis and is often used to introduce amino groups into organic compounds.

    What is the reagent used in the production of hex-2-ene from 3-Bromohexane?

    • A.

      NaOH (Ethanolic)

    • B.

      KOH (aqueous)

    • C.

      KOH (Ethanolic)

    • D.

      NaOH or KOH (aq)

    • E.

      NaCl

    Correct Answer
    C. KOH (Ethanolic)
    Explanation
    KOH (Ethanolic) is the reagent used in the production of hex-2-ene from 3-Bromohexane. The reaction is an elimination reaction known as the E2 mechanism. In this reaction, the ethanolic KOH acts as a strong base and abstracts a proton from the beta carbon of 3-Bromohexane, creating a carbanion. The carbanion then eliminates a bromide ion, resulting in the formation of hex-2-ene. The ethanolic solvent helps to dissolve KOH and facilitate the reaction.

    What are the conditions used in the production of polyethene from ethene?

    • A.

      High temperature

    • B.

      High Concentration of Ethene

    • C.

      High pressure

    • D.

      Low Temperature

    • E.

      Low Pressure

    Correct Answer
    C. High pressure
    Explanation
    High pressure is used in the production of polyethene from ethene because it helps to increase the reaction rate and promote the formation of polymer chains. This is because high pressure forces the ethene molecules closer together, increasing the chances of successful collisions and polymerization reactions. Additionally, high pressure helps to maintain the stability of the reaction and prevent the formation of unwanted by-products. Therefore, high pressure is a crucial condition in the production of polyethene from ethene.

    • A.

      Electrolysis

    • B.

      Soil

    • C.

      100°C and 55 atmospheres under water

    • E.

      Boil under reflux

    Correct Answer
    D. 300°C and 60 atmospheres under steam
    Explanation
    In the production of alcohol from an alkene, the conditions of 300°C and 60 atmospheres under steam are used. This high temperature and pressure help in the process of hydration, where water is added to the alkene to form an alcohol. The steam acts as a source of water, and the conditions of high temperature and pressure facilitate the reaction to occur at a faster rate. This process is commonly known as the steam hydration of alkenes.

    • E.

      I dont know.

    Correct Answer
    C. Use potassium dichromate, Dilute H2SO4 then Warm and Distill.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to use potassium dichromate, dilute H2SO4, then warm and distill. This is because the reaction requires an oxidizing agent like potassium dichromate to convert the alcohol (butan-1-ol) into the corresponding aldehyde (butanal). Dilute H2SO4 is used as a catalyst to speed up the reaction. Warm and distill is the appropriate method to separate the desired product from the reaction mixture.

      What is this and Where am i?

    Correct Answer
    A. Use potassium dichromate, Dilute H2SO4 then Heat and Distill.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Use potassium dichromate, Dilute H2SO4 then Heat and Distill." This method is commonly used to convert Propan-2-ol (an alcohol) into Propanone (a ketone). Potassium dichromate and dilute H2SO4 act as oxidizing agents, causing the alcohol to lose two hydrogen atoms and form a ketone. Heating and distilling the mixture helps in the separation and purification of the desired product.

    Correct Answer
    A. Concentrated H2SO4 and Heat
    Explanation
    Concentrated H2SO4 and heat can be used to make ethene from ethanol through a process called dehydration. In this process, the concentrated sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst and removes a water molecule from the ethanol molecule, resulting in the formation of ethene. The heat provides the necessary energy for the reaction to occur.
