have choices 1, 2, 3, and a combination of them is the answer. Below is the key that maps such
combinations to the answer.
A
1, 2 and 3 are correct
B
1 and 2 only are correct
C
2 and 3 only are correct
D
1 only is correct
describe and interpret, in terms of changes in oxidation number, the reaction of chlorine with cold and with hot aqueous sodium hydroxide and recognise these as disproportionation reactions
deduce the presence of a CH\(_3\)CH(OH)- group in an alcohol, CH\(_3\)CH(OH)-R, from its reaction with alkaline I\(_2\)(aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-lodomethane and an ion, \( RCO_2^-\)
deduce the presence of a CH\(_3\)CO– group in an aldehyde or ketone, CH\(_3\)CO–R, from its reaction with alkaline I\(_2\)(aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-lodomethene and an ion, \( RCO_2^-\)
