This document is a 27 mark chemistry revision worksheet on organic chemistry topics including isomerism, alkanes, alkenes, and kinetics. It contains 3 main sections:
1) Gaseous state questions calculating the molar mass of an alkane from gas properties and explaining deviations from ideal gas behavior.
2) Alkanes and isomerism questions identifying constitutional and stereoisomers, drawing conformers and enantiomers, and outlining mechanisms for radical substitution reactions.
3) Alkene questions drawing geometric isomers, naming addition reactions, and devising multi-step syntheses from starting materials. The document provides practice for common organic chemistry concepts assessed in promotion exams.

Topics: Isomerism, Alkanes, Alkenes, Gaseous State and Kinetics Total: 27 Marks Duration: 40 Min Gaseous State
1 (a) A gaseous sample of 0.20 g of an alkane took up a volume of 87 cm3 at a temperature
of 380 K and a pressure of 1.01 x 105 Pa. Use these data to calculate the Mr of the alkane and hence suggest its molecular formula. [2]
PV = nRT 1.01 x 105 x 87 x 10-6 = 0.20/ Mr x 8.31 x 380 Mr = 71.9 Therefore the alkane is C5H12.
(b) Oxygen and carbon dioxide gas are real gases and exhibit deviation from ideal gas. Explain which gas exhibit greater deviation at
(i) low temperatures and [1]
CO2 contains a greater total number of electrons than O2 molecule and
hence has a larger electron cloud. Hence there exist stronger and more extensive instantaneous dipole – induced dipole interactions between the molecules of CO2. So, CO2 showed greater negative deviation than O2.Thus Preal<Pideal and PV 1 . Hence there is a negative deviation. nRT
(ii) high pressures [1]
CO2 has a larger molecular size than O2, the volume taken up by CO2 gas molecules is greater. So, CO2 should show a greater positive deviation than O2. Vreal>Videal and PV 1 . Hence there is a positive deviation. nRT

Alkanes, Isomerism and Kinetics
2 Three isomers of C6H10 are shown below.
A B C (a) State the specific form of constitutional isomerism exhibited by A, B and C. [1] Positional isomerism
1 (b) Apart from exhibiting constitutional isomerism, A can exhibit stereoisomerism. Draw the two stereoisomers of A and state their relationship. [3]
Relationship: Enantiomers (c) A can be converted to compounds D and E as shown. Write in the box below, the reagents and conditions needed to convert D to E. [1]
H2, Ni Cl2(g)
heat UV or heat
A D E (d) A sample of compound E was dissolved in dilute aqueous ethanol and reacted with sodium hydroxide. Several experiments were conducted at constant temperature and the initial rate of reaction was determined in each experiment.
