1.
Which alcohol is NOT oxidised by acidified dichromate?
Ethanol
Propan-2-ol
2-methylpropan-2-ol
Butan-1-ol
2.
To obtain an aldehyde from a primary alcohol you should:
distil it off as it forms
heat under reflux with excess oxidant
add PCl5
use concentrated phosphoric acid
3.
Colour change of acidified dichromate(VI) during oxidation:
Green to orange
Purple to colourless
Orange to green
Blue to green
4.
Oxidation of propan-2-ol gives:
Propanal
Propanone
Propanoic acid
Propene
5.
Which reagent converts ethanol into chloroethane with misty fumes?
KBr/H2SO4
NaOH(aq)
H3PO4
PCl5
6.
Why is ethanol much more soluble in water than ethane?
It is heavier
It forms hydrogen bonds with water
It is ionic
It has London forces only
7.
Which statement best describes Primary alcohol?
An alcohol where the carbon bearing OH is attached to one other carbon (or none, as in methanol).
Substitution of OH by a halogen, e.g. using PCl5, or KBr with 50% H2SO4.
Heating a mixture and immediately removing volatile product, used to collect an aldehyde before further oxidation.
An alcohol where the carbon bearing OH is attached to two other carbons.
8.
Which statement best describes Distillation?
Heating a mixture and immediately removing volatile product, used to collect an aldehyde before further oxidation.
An alcohol where the carbon bearing OH is attached to one other carbon (or none, as in methanol).
An organic compound containing the hydroxyl (–OH) functional group bonded to a saturated carbon.
Substitution of OH by a halogen, e.g. using PCl5, or KBr with 50% H2SO4.
9.
Which statement best describes Oxidation?
Elimination of water from an alcohol to form an alkene, using a catalyst such as concentrated H3PO4.
In organic chemistry, gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen, shown as [O] in equations.
An alcohol where the carbon bearing OH is attached to two other carbons.
Heating with a vertical condenser so vapours condense and return, allowing complete reaction without loss of volatile material.
10.
Which statement best describes Secondary alcohol?
Heating with a vertical condenser so vapours condense and return, allowing complete reaction without loss of volatile material.
An alcohol where the carbon bearing OH is attached to three other carbons.
An alcohol where the carbon bearing OH is attached to one other carbon (or none, as in methanol).
An alcohol where the carbon bearing OH is attached to two other carbons.
