Part (a)

a.

Which type of fat contains a double carbon-to-carbon (C=C\text{C}=\text{C}C=C) bond?

[1]
b.

The colour of bromine water is orange. State the final colour of the mixture after bromine water is shaken with:

  • an unsaturated fat
  • a saturated fat
[2]

Part (b)

Some herbal beverage companies had to recall their products because they were found to contain a banned synthetic stimulant, Stimulant X.

The chromatogram below shows how the chemical components in the herbal extracts were detected and identified.

A paper chromatogram with a horizontal start line near the bottom containing five sample origins labelled from left to right: 'safe extract', 'W', 'X', 'Y', and 'Z'. Above the start line, the vertical solvent paths show spots representing individual components. 'safe extract' has two spots: a lower spot (Level 1) and a medium-high spot (Level 3). 'W' has only a single spot at a medium-low level (Level 2). 'X' has two spots, matching the 'safe extract' at Level 1 and Level 3. 'Y' has three spots: Level 1, Level 3, and a high spot near the top (Level 4). 'Z' has two spots: Level 2 and Level 4. A bracket underneath W, X, Y, and Z is labelled 'tested herbal extracts'.

Which one of the tested herbal extracts, W, X, Y, or Z, is made up of only one compound?

[1]
e.

Identify the herbal extracts that may contain the banned Stimulant X.

[1]
f.

Explain how the chromatogram shows that the five extracts are different from each other.
