A. But-2-ene

B. But-1-ene

C. But-2-yne

D. But-1-yne

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
3.

The IUPAC name for CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)COOCH\(_2\)CH\(_3\) is

A. methylpropanoate

B. ethylethanoate

C. ethylpropanoate

D. methylethanoate

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
4.

A certain hydrocarbon on complete combustion at s.t.p produced 89.6dm\(^3\) of CO\(_2\) and 54g of water. The hydrocarbon should be

A. C\(_6\)H\(_6\)

B. C\(_4\)H\(_{10}\)

C. C\(_5\)H\(_{10}\)

D. C\(_4\)H\(_6\)

Detailed Solution

C\(_x\)H\(_y\) + (x + y/4)O\(_2\) \(\to\) x CO\(_2\) + y/2 H\(_2\)O
89.6 dm\(^3\) \(\to\) x moles CO\(_2\)
22.4 dm\(^3\) \(\to\) 1 mole CO\(_2\)
x = \(\frac{89.6}{22.4}\)
= 4 moles CO\(_2\)
54g of H\(_2\)O \(\to\) k moles H\(_2\)O
18g H\(_2\)O \(\to\) 1 mole H\(_2\)O
k = \(\frac{54}{18}\)
= 3 moles H\(_2\)O
From the equation above,
x = 4
k = y/2 = 3
y/2 = 3 \(\implies\) y = 6
\(\therefore\) The hydrocarbon C\(_x\)H\(_y\) = C\(_4\)H\(_6\)

5.

2-methylprop-1-ene is an isomer of?

A. 3-methyl but-1-ene

A. C\(_n\)H\(_{2n}\)

B. C\(_n\)H\(_{2n + 2}\)

C. C\(_n\)H\(_{2n - 2}\)

D. C\(_n\)H\(_{2n + 1}\)OH

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
7.

C. 1-bromo-1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane

D. 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
8.

4.

A certain hydrocarbon on complete combustion at s.t.p produced 89.6dm\(^3\) of CO\(_2\) and 54g of water. The hydrocarbon should be

A. C\(_6\)H\(_6\)

B. C\(_4\)H\(_{10}\)

C. C\(_5\)H\(_{10}\)

D. C\(_4\)H\(_6\)

Detailed Solution

C\(_x\)H\(_y\) + (x + y/4)O\(_2\) \(\to\) x CO\(_2\) + y/2 H\(_2\)O
89.6 dm\(^3\) \(\to\) x moles CO\(_2\)
22.4 dm\(^3\) \(\to\) 1 mole CO\(_2\)
x = \(\frac{89.6}{22.4}\)
= 4 moles CO\(_2\)
54g of H\(_2\)O \(\to\) k moles H\(_2\)O
18g H\(_2\)O \(\to\) 1 mole H\(_2\)O
k = \(\frac{54}{18}\)
= 3 moles H\(_2\)O
From the equation above,
x = 4
k = y/2 = 3
y/2 = 3 \(\implies\) y = 6
