Topics Tested
15. Halogen compounds
15.1. Halogenoalkanes

describe the elimination reaction with NaOH in ethanol and heat to produce an alkene as exemplified by bromoethane

14. Hydrocarbons
14.1. Alkanes

recall the reactions (reagents and conditions) by which alkanes can be produced: (a) addition of hydrogen to an alkene in a hydrogenation reaction, \( H_2(g) \) and Pt/Ni catalyst and heat (b) cracking of a longer chain alkane, heat with \( Al_2O_3 \)

17. Carbonyl compounds
17.1. Aldehydes and ketones

describe: (a) the reduction of aldehydes and ketones using NaBH\(_4\) or LiAlH\(_4\) to produce alcohols (b) the reaction of aldehydes and ketones with HCN, KCN as catalyst, and heat to produce hydroxymitriles as exemplified by ethanol and propanone
