Question 4

4.1 Study the following incomplete equations for organic reactions I and II.
Compounds P and Q are ORGANIC compounds and T is an INORGANIC compound.

For reaction I, write down the:
4.1.1 Type of reaction that takes place (1)

4.1.2 IUPAC name of compound P (2)
4.1.3 NAME or FORMULA of compound T (1)

For reaction II, write down:
4.1.4 TWO reaction conditions needed (2)

4.1.5 The STRUCTURAL FORMULA of compound Q (2)

4.2 The cracking of a long chain hydrocarbon, C10H22, takes place in test tube A, as shown below.

Two STRAIGHT CHAIN organic compounds, X and Z, are produced in
test tube A according to the following balanced equation:
C10H22(ℓ) → 2X(g) + Z(g)

4.2.1 State the function of the Aℓ2O3(s) in test tube A. (1)

The organic compounds, X and Z, are now passed through bromine water, Br2(aq), at room temperature in test tube B. Only compound X reacts with the bromine water.

4.2.2 Apart from gas bubbles being formed, state another observable change in test tube B. (1)

4.2.3 Write down the TYPE of reaction that takes place in test tube B. (1)

4.2.4 Write down the molecular formula of compound Z. (3)

4.2.5 Write down the STRUCTURAL FORMULA of compound X. (3)
