Older MCQs might not have the typical A, B, C,
D
choices. They
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 explain the reactions of halide ions with: (a) aqueous silver ions followed by aqueous ammonia (the formation and formula of the \([Ag(NH_3)_2]^+\) complex is not required) (b) concentrated sulfuric acid, to include balanced chemical equations
explain what is meant by a chiral centre and that such a centre gives rise to two optical isomers (enantiomers)
deduce the nature (aldehyde or ketone) of an unknown carbonyl compound from the results of simple tests (Fehling’s and Tollens’ reagents; ease of oxidation)
