can anyone give me some tips to excel in AS and A2 Organic Chemistry..............pleaseeeeee

Take a piece of paper, jot down all formulas, conversions and neseccary things. Group them up orderly. REvise it again and again

ok

CH3CH2CH2OH + 4.5O2------>3CO2 + 4H2O
so 0.1 mol propanol reacts with 0.45 mol of the o.5 mol oxygen provided (12dm3 oxygen is 0.5 mol)
0.05 mol of oxygen is left over as gas.
0.3 mol of CO2 is formed which is the gaseous product as H2O will be liquid at r.t.p.
0.35mol of total gases.
0.35x24=8.4dm3 gases in the final mixture under ROOM CONDITIONS.

ok thx

pls explain all briefly. Starting from part (ii)
remember Ag2SO4 partially soluble.
paper is m/j 2015 p43
Thanks!!

2-x : x/2 : x

In essence, it's a pretty simple question if you ask me. People tend to get confused seeing variables instead of constants.

Anyhow.

There are two approaches to this.

One is quicker but much more confusing. If you want, let me know and I'll enlist that too.

If not, simply take the equations and manipulate.

A- Inital: 2 : 0 : 0
Final : 2-x: 2x : x
Total moles: 2-2+2x+x = 3x so A is incorrect.

B-
Initial: 2 : 0 : 0
Final: 2-2x : 2x : x
Total moles: 2-2x+2x+x = 2+x so B is incorrect

C-
Initial: 2 : 0 : 0
Final 2-2x:x:x
Total = 2-2x+x+x = 2

D-
Initial: 2 : 0 : 0
Final: 2-x : x/2 : x [x = 2R]
Total moles = 2-x+x/2+x =2+x/2 mols!

B is correct cuz the ans is 2+x...

Could someone please help me with a problem on May/June 2014/P23...question #2
I am having difficulty understand (iv). It says, "Calculate the amount, in moles, of ammonium ions in the sample of the double salt'. From what I see on the marking scheme, it is saying the NH4+ react with the H+ in a 1:1 ration. I dont understand where this 1:1 ration is coming from? The only equation that is written is
NH4+ + OH- -----> NH3 + H2O

thanks

Apply alcohol may also be converted into propanol by using a ruthenium (IV) catalyst in water.
CH2=CHCH2OH-> CH3CH2CHO
Suggest what is unusual about this single step ?
ANS : DISPROPORTINATION HAS TAKEN PLACE
How can I know that ? Anyone can explain?

Because the double bond is reduced and the alcohol group has been oxidised hence the compound has been oxidised and reduced at the same time .

cn any1 just tell me hw H & J r not the same???

 

[areeba240]

can anyone plzz explain this qtns...
thanks in advance

its simple if you look at H the order is CH3 then H the OH think of this as a loop , you can go from ch3 to H but not directly to OH.
Now look at J the order is OH , H and then CH3 is that not different student2 ?its the opposite actually u have to imagine the structure in 3d , btw the ans is J ?
