    ESSAY
    (a) An organic compound K has the following composition:

    C, 68.18% ; H, 13.64% ; O, 18.18%

    Determine the empirical formula of compound K. Given the relative molecular formula of K is 88.0,
    determine the molecular formula of K. K has a chiral carbon atom and reacts with hot, acidified
    potassium manganate(VII) solution to produce L. Both K and L forms a yellow precipitate when
    reacted with a warm alkaline iodine solution. L forms a yellow precipitate with 2,4-
    dinitrophenylhydrazine. Determine the structural formulae of K and L. Explain the above
    observations and write the appropriate equations for the reactions. [8 marks]

    (b) M, having molecular formula C4H9Br is an optically active alkyl halide. When it is heated

    with ethanolic potassium hydroxide, two hydrocarbons P and Q(main product) are

    formed. When Q is reacted with dilute sulphuric acid, R is obtained.

    (i) Name M and draw a pair of optical isomers [enantiomers] for M.

    (ii) Idendify P, Q, and R.

    (iii) Suggest how M can be converted to R.
