Chemistry WAEC / WASSCE 2014 Organic Chemistry I: Hydrocarbons & Crude Oil
(a)(i) Define the term functional group. (ii) Name the functional groups present in the following compound: (b) Consider the following structure of an organic compound, Q. (1) Name compound Q. (ii) Write the balanced equation for the complete combustion of compound Q. (iii) What type of reaction will compound Q undergo with chlorine? (vi) Draw the structure of-the alkene that is an isomer of compound Q. (c) A chemistry student was provided with four samples of organic compounds, A, B, C, and D. Samples A and B each decolourized bromine in tetrachloromethane but only sample B reacted with a solution of ammoniacal silver trioxonitrate (V) to give a white precipitate. Sample D reacted with sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) to liberate carbon (IV) oxide. When heat was applied to the mixture of samples C and D in a test tube and drops of concentrated tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid added, a product with a fruity odour was formed. (i) Name the family of organic compounds to which samples A, B, C, and D belong. (ii) State why samples A and B reacted with bromine in tetrachloromethane. (iii) State the reason why sample B gave a white precipitate with the solution of ammoniacal silver trioxocarbonate (V). (iv) Give the name o f the reactions between' samples C and D. (v) State the two roles of the concentrated tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid in the reaction in (a)(iv). (d) (i) Describe briefly the production of biogas using a biogas generator. (ii) State two uses of biogas.

Chemistry WAEC / WASSCE 2014 Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Burette readings (initial and final) must be given to two decimal places. Volume of pipette used must also be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer book. A is a solution of hydrochloric acid. B is a solution containing 2.45g of anhydrous sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) in 250g of solution. (a) Put A into the burette and titrate it against 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25.0 cm\(^3\) portion of B using methyl orange as an indicator. Repeat the exercise to obtain consistent titres. Tabulate your burette reading and calculate the average volume of A used. The equation for the reaction involved in the titration is Na\(_2\)CO\(_{3(aq)}\) + 2HCI\(_{(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\) (b) From your results and the information provided, calculate the: (i) concentration of B in moldm\(^{-3}\) (ii) concentration of A in moldm\(^{-3}\) (iii) concentration of A in gdm\(^{-3}\) (iv) volume of the gas evolved in the reaction at s.t.p. [H = 1.00; C: 12.0; O = 16.0; Na = 23.0; Na = 23.0; Cl = 35.5; Molar Volume = 22.4 dm\(^3\)mol\(^{-3}\)]
A

Credit will be given for strict adherence to the instructions, for observations, precisely recorded, and for accurate inferences. All tests, observations, and inferences must be clearly entered in your answer book, in ink, at the time they are made. C contains two cations and two anions. Perform the following exercises on C. Record your observations and identify any gas (es) evolved. State the conclusion you draw from the result of each test. (a) Dissolve all of C in about 10 cm\(^3\) of distilled water. Stir the resulting solution thoroughly. (i) To about 2 cm\(^3\) of the solution, add few drops of AgNO\(_3\) solution, followed by HNO\(_{3(aq)}\). To the mixture, add excess NH\(_{3(aq)}\) (ii) To another 2 cm\(^3\) portion of the solution, add dil. HCl followed by BaCl\(_2\) solution. (iii) To another 2 cm\(^3\) portion of the solution, add NaOH\(_{3(aq)}\) dropwise and then in excess. Warm the mixture. (iv) To another 2 cm\(^3\) portion of the solution, add NH\(_{3(aq)}\) dropwise and then in excess.
