1.1. Draw the displayed formula for ethanoic anhydride | 
|
|
1.2. Why did the condenser need to be filled with water in at the bottom and coming out at the top | So the vapours are cooled to become liquid. So that the entire jacket is filled with water. For efficient condensation. |
|
1.3. Why was neither bung nor thermometer added at top of flask? | So there is no pressure buildup |
|
Why is ethanoic anhydride used instead of ethanoyl chloride. Give 2 reasons Do not mention cost |
Easier to store |

| Mg + Cu2+-> Mg2+ + Cu | 1 |
Why is KNO3 be used as salt bridge |

Unknown liquids, propan-1-ol, propanal and propanoic acid. How do you prepare the tests, observations and equations for the tests | Sodium hydrogencarbonate->Co2 produced so effervescence, if limewater available in lab collect gas using gas syringe, bubble through it should get cloudy white/milky white, for propanoic acid, nvc for rest.
Add dilute H2SO4 to the potassium dichromate to prepare acidified potassium dichromate. Add potassium dichromate to the test tubes, propanal and propan-1-ol colour change from orange to green, the propanoic acid will remain orange.
Add tollens reagent to all three test tubes, take new samples and then propanal test tube should display a silver mirror, nvc for rest.

Question X – Titration Practical |
Titration practical 1-add sulfuric acid to magnesium 2- add distilled water up to 250cm 3-add 25cm to a flask 4- titrate with NaOH solution 5-get a mean titre | 1- use __ measuring cylinders to measure out 100cm of H2SO4 and weigh weighing boat before and after adding Mg 2-fill up to 250 in a conical flask, rinsing the sides. Add a stopper and invert to mix 3- use a pipette to transfer 25cm to a conical flask and add an indicator 4- add NaOH solution to burette, ensuring no air bubbles and reading from the miniscus 5- create a mean of concordant results | 6 |

Write the equation showing ethylamine acting as a base when add H2Ofor | CH3CH2NH2 + H2O <-> CH3CH2NH3+ + OH- | 2 |
Why ethylamine stronger base than ammonia | I swear this is not meant to be on spec anymore because it was proven false Akyl groups electron releasing make the lone pair on the N atom more available | 3 |
Write equation for reaction of bromo-ethane with XS ethylamine | CH3CH2Br + 2CH3CH2NH2 -> CH3CH2NHCH2CH3 + CH3CH2NH3Br
