When hydrocarbons undergo complete combustion, there is a change in the total volume of gases.
2C2H6 (g) + 7O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 6H2O (g)
What is the increase in the total volume when 100 cm3 of ethane is burned in excess oxygen?
(1)
☐ | A | 50 cm3 | |
☐ | B | 100 cm3 | |
☐ | C | 200 cm3 | |
☐ | D | 500 cm3 |
A cyclic hydrocarbon, CxHy , was mixed with excess oxygen and ignited.
Under the conditions of the experiment, this hydrocarbon was gaseous and had a volume of 25 cm3.
The equation for the complete combustion of CxHy is
CxHy (g) + (x + )O2 (g) → xCO2 (g) + H2O (l)
The remaining gases were shaken with aqueous sodium hydroxide and the total gas volume decreased by a further 125 cm3.
All gas volumes were measured at the same temperature and pressure.
Suggest the identity of the cyclic hydrocarbon by calculating the molecular formula of CxHy .
Include the skeletal formula of the cyclic hydrocarbon.
Propene reacts with iodine monochloride, ICl, by an electrophilic addition mechanism.
Draw the mechanism for the reaction between propene and iodine monochloride to form the major product.
Include the dipole on the ICl molecule, curly arrows and any relevant lone pairs of electrons.
Limonene is obtained from the oil in lemon peel and it is the only alkene present.
0.500 g of the oil reacted with exactly 30.6 cm3 of a solution of bromine dissolved in cyclohexane with a concentration of 0.200 mol dm−3.
Calculate the percentage by mass of limonene in the oil.
Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures.
Assume that there is nothing else in the oil that reacts with bromine.
