a.

Compound A belongs to the homologous series called the alkenes. What is the general formula of the alkenes?

[1]
b.

Which homologous series does compound C belong to?

  • Alcohols
  • Alkenes
  • Carboxylic acids
  • Esters

c.

Compound A, C3H6\text{C}_3\text{H}_6C3​H6​, burns in a limited supply of oxygen to undergo incomplete combustion, producing carbon monoxide, CO\text{CO}CO, and water, H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}H2​O. Write the balanced symbol equation for this reaction.

d.

In a car's catalytic converter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide react according to the equation:

2CO+2NO→N2+2CO2 2\text{CO} + 2\text{NO} \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + 2\text{CO}_2 2CO+2NO→N2​+2CO2​

During a journey, 42 g42\text{ g}42 g of nitrogen, N2\text{N}_2N2​, is produced. Calculate the volume of nitrogen monoxide, in dm3\text{dm}^3dm3, removed from the exhaust gases. (Take the molar gas volume at RTP as 24 dm3/mol24\text{ dm}^3/\text{mol}24 dm3/mol. Relative atomic mass: N=14.0\text{N} = 14.0N=14.0)
