Solution
Alkanones are generally obtained by the oxidation of
A
primary alkanols
B
secondary alkanols
C
tertiary alkanols
D
alkanoic acid
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Using a suitable oxidizing agent such as acidified dichromate solution, or, acidified permanganate solution, secondary alkanols (alcohols) can be oxidized to alkanones (ketones), therefore, The oxidation of a secondary alkanol (alcohol) produces an alkanone (ketone). e.g. Oxidation of butan-2-ol (2-butanol) by acidified dichromate solution produces butan-2-one (2-butanone or butanone)

Solution
The compound above is an
A
ether
B
ester
C
alkanal
D
alkanol
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The Molecular formula of the compound is CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)COOCH\(_2\)CH\(_3\).
The name of the compound is Ethyl propanoate. i.e it is an alkanoate or esters.
It is actually a product from the reaction of propanoic acid, CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)COOH and Ethanol, CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)OH.
Hence, the correct answer is Ester - Option B

Water, Solutions & Solubility
Diagram
Solution
The diagram above is the solubility curve of a solute, X. Find the amount of X deposited when 500cm3 of a solution of X is cooled from 60oC to 20oC.
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
0.750 mole
B
0.950 mole
C
2.375 moles
D
4.750 moles
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
From the graph, when you extrapolate when the temperature is @ 60 deg, Solubility = 5.5 mol/dm3
Also, when the temperature is @ 20 deg, Solubility = 4.0 mol/dm3.
Difference in solubility = 5.5 - 4.0 = 1.5 mol/dm3
Recall that, solubility = amount x 1000/ volume of solvent
1.5 = n x 1000/500
n = 1.5/2
n = 0.750 mole - Option A

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Zero order - A horizontal line indicates that the reaction rate is independent of the reactant concentration.
The rate equation is: rate = k
First order - A straight line passing through the origin signifies that the reaction rate is directly proportional to the reactant concentration.
The rate equation is: rate = k[X]
Second order - A curved plot indicates that the reaction rate is proportional to the square of the reactant concentration.
The rate equation is: rate = k[X]2

Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Butterflies use their antennae for feeling, smelling, and detecting motion:
Antennae: These sensory organs are located at the top of a butterfly's head and are similar to a butterfly's nose. They help butterflies detect chemicals in the air, such as the smell of flowers or a potential mate. They also help with balance and detecting motion.
Tactile setae: These are found on the head and abdomen of monarch larvae.
However, the part that develops into the organ that feels is I - Option D

C
scale
D
feather
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The earliest known evidence of hair is whiskers on therapsids, which were mammal-like reptiles that lived around 290 million years ago. Therapsids are considered the ancestors of modern mammals.
Hair is a defining biological characteristic of all mammals. However, some species have evolved to have so little hair that they appear nearly naked.
