Step-by-step solution

10 steps

Part a

The information required to determine the molecular formula of W and suggest its structures is unreadable in the provided image.

Part b

Propanone\text{Propanone}

i) Suggest an identity for compound X.

  1. Analyze the observations from the tests.

    • Test A (PCl₅): No white fumes. This indicates the absence of -OH groups (alcohols or carboxylic acids).
    • Test B (Bromine water): No reaction. This indicates the absence of C=C or C≡C double/triple bonds and phenols.
    • Test C (2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine): Orange precipitate. This indicates the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O\text{C=O}), meaning X is either an aldehyde or a ketone.
    • Test D (Tollen's Reagent): No reaction. This indicates the absence of an aldehyde group.
  2. Combine the inferences.

    From Test C, X is an aldehyde or a ketone. From Test D, X is not an aldehyde. Therefore, X must be a ketone.

  3. Consider the given constraint.

    Compound X has "less than 4 carbon atoms". The smallest ketone possible has 3 carbon atoms.

  4. Identify the compound.

    The only ketone with less than 4 carbon atoms is propanone.

    The identity of compound X is Propanone\boxed{\text{Propanone}}.

Part c(i)

2-methylpropan-1-amine\text{2-methylpropan-1-amine}

CH3CH(CH3)CH2NH2\text{CH}_3\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2

Give the systematic name for each of the following compounds.

  1. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the amine group.

    This is a 3-carbon chain (propane).

  2. Number the chain to give the amine group the lowest possible number.

    The amine group is on carbon 1.

  3. Identify substituents.

    There is a methyl group on carbon 2.
    The systematic name is 2-methylpropan-1-amine\boxed{\text{2-methylpropan-1-amine}}.

Part c(ii)

Propanoyl chloride\text{Propanoyl chloride}

CH3CH2COCl\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{COCl}

  1. Identify the functional group, which is an acyl chloride (-COCl\text{-COCl}).

  2. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the acyl chloride group.

    This is a 3-carbon chain.

  3. The parent carboxylic acid would be propanoic acid.

    For acyl chlorides, the suffix -oic acid is replaced by -oyl chloride.
    The systematic name is Propanoyl chloride\boxed{\text{Propanoyl chloride}}.

Part d

State the reagents and reaction conditions for the conversions in the table below.
