1. What is the molecular formula of sulfuric acid?

Explanation

Sulfuric acid has the molecular formula H2SO4, which consists of 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms. SO3 is sulfur trioxide, while H2O is water and NH3 is ammonia, which are different chemical compounds.

2. Which species can effectively remove SO3?

Explanation

The correct answer involves the formation of hydronium ions (H3O+) and water (H2O) which can react with SO3 to effectively remove it from the system.

Submit
3. What is the purpose of a Grignard reaction?

Explanation

The Grignard reaction is a fundamental organic reaction in which a halomagnesium reagent is added to a carbonyl compound to form an alcohol. The incorrect answers provided do not accurately describe the purpose or mechanism of the Grignard reaction.

Submit
4. What is the purpose of a Diels-Alder reaction?

Explanation

The Diels-Alder reaction involves the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds to produce ringed and bicyclic products, rather than breaking down compounds or increasing reactivity. It is not used for oxidation reactions.

Submit
5. What type of reaction are Friedel-Crafts?

Explanation

Friedel-Crafts reactions are a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution where an aromatic-carbon bond is formed.

Submit
6. What is the Wittig Reaction?

Explanation

The Wittig Reaction is a chemical reaction used in organic chemistry to create a carbon-carbon double bond. It involves the use of a carbonyl compound and a phosphonium ylide.

Submit
7. What is the purpose of cyanide addition in organic chemistry?

Explanation

Cyanide addition to primary halides is a common reaction in organic chemistry where a cyanide ion is added to a primary halide compound, leading to the formation of a nitrile. This reaction is used to introduce a nitrile group into organic molecules.

Submit
8. What are Acetylide Reactions?

Explanation

Acetylide reactions specifically involve the use of acetylide ions, which are deprotonated terminal alkynes, as nucleophiles in chemical reactions.

Submit
9. How can a branched group be added?

Explanation

To add a branched group, specifically a Br group, to a compound, it is important to follow the correct steps of tagging Br on the end that adds to the ring and using AlCl3 as catalyst. Other methods mentioned in the incorrect answers may not yield the desired branched group in the compound.

Submit
10. Which compound can be used to add a halide (-Cl) to a molecule?

Explanation

FeCl3 is an example of a compound that can be used to introduce a chloride ion (-Cl) into a molecule, making it the correct answer to the question.

Submit
11. What is the product of adding NO2 to H2SO4?

Explanation

When NO2 is added to H2SO4, the correct product is HNO3. This reaction results in the formation of nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The other incorrect options do not represent the correct chemical reaction involving NO2 and H2SO4.

Submit
12. What reagents can be used to convert NO2 to NH2?

Explanation

The conversion of NO2 to NH2 can be achieved using ZnHg & HCl or H2Pd reagents through reduction reactions.

Submit
13. How can NH2 be converted to NO2?

Explanation

To convert NH2 to NO2, oxidation is required, which can be achieved through the reaction with Cr3COOOH. The other options listed are not suitable for this specific conversion process.

Submit
14. How can you reduce something with a double bond to oxygen to a single-bond hydrocarbon?

Explanation

In this case, ZnHg & HCl or H2Pd are reducing agents commonly used for this specific type of chemical transformation.

Submit
15. How can a hydrocarbon be oxidized to contain a double bonded oxygen?

Explanation

The correct answer involves the use of a specific reagent combination to introduce a double bonded oxygen into the hydrocarbon structure.

Submit
16. What is used to oxidize an alkyl?

Explanation

KMnO4 is commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent to convert alkyl groups into carboxylic acids or alcohols. NaOH, HCl, and H2SO4 are not typically used for this purpose.

Submit
17. Which reagent can be used for total reduction (including armomaticity)?

Explanation

The reduction of aromatic compounds to fully saturated compounds often requires harsh conditions and strong reducing agents such as H2Pt at 2000psi or H2Rh. NaBH4 and LiAlH4 are milder reducing agents that are typically used for less demanding reductions. Pd/C is a catalyst often used in hydrogenation reactions but may not be sufficient for total reduction of aromatic compounds.
