Alkanes are non-polar as they contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. In comparison, H2O is a polar compound, as the bonds that connect the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have unequal electron sharing. For a substance to be soluble (dissolve) in another substance (solvent), both substances must share the same type of polarity. Which of the following accurately explains the solubility of an alkane in H2O? 12. a) The non-polar alkane is insoluble (does not dissolve) in the polar H2O b) The polar alkane is soluble (dissolves) in the polar H2O c) The non-polar alkane is soluble (dissolves) in the polar H2O d) The polar alkane is insoluble (does not dissolve) in the polar H2O Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are compounds that were previously used as refrigerants, but are now used much less due to their detrimental affect on the ozone layer. CFCs contain a central carbon atom connected to four halogen atoms. Which of the following explains how a CFC compound is created? a) Only one halogenation reaction is needed to replace the four hydrogen atoms within the alkane with halogen atoms b) Alkanes can not accept any halogen atoms, so CFCs can only be created from alkenes c) An alkane undergoes a series of halogenation reactions, with each halogenation reaction displacing one hydrogen and adding a halogen atom in its place © Endeavour College of Natural Health Last updated on 6-Feb-14 976098b924e948ccbbbf80cba3cc5556 Page 3 of 9 d) Only alkynes can be used to create CFCs, as they are the most reactive type of hydrocarbon 13. Hydrocarbons that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms can adopt either chain-like structures or ring-like structures. For example, a six carbon containing hydrocarbon can exist in both the straight chain or ring form (below). Which of the following correctly describes the major difference between the straight chain (acyclic) and ring structured (cyclic) hydrocarbons? a) Cyclic hydrocarbons have carbons at the end of the structure that bond to only one other carbon atom, whereas all of the carbons in an acyclic structure bond to two other carbon atoms b) All of the carbons in a cyclic hydrocarbon are connected to only one other carbon atom, whereas all of the carbons in an acyclic structure connect to two carbon atoms c) Acyclic hydrocarbons have carbons at the end of the structure that bond to only one other carbon atom, whereas all of the carbons in a cyclic structure bond to two other carbon atoms d) All of the carbons in an acyclic hydrocarbon are connected to only one other carbon atom, whereas all of the carbons in an acyclic structure connect to two carbon atoms 14. Both straight chain (acyclic) and ring structured (cyclic) hydrocarbons can form structures that contain the same number of carbon atoms. However, these acyclic and cyclic compounds contain different numbers of hydrogen atoms, even though they have the same number of carbon atoms. Which of the following best describes why acyclic and cyclic versions of hydrocarbons contain different numbers of hydrogen atoms? © Endeavour College of Natural Health Last updated on 6-Feb-14 976098b924e948ccbbbf80cba3cc5556 Page 4 of 9 a) Acylcic hydrocarbons have more hydrogen atoms than cyclic hydrocarbons, as acyclic hydrocarbons have defined end carbons which attach to three hydrogen atoms b) Cyclic hydrocarbons have carbons that always attach to two other carbons, meaning they have more hydrogen atoms in total than acyclic hydrocarbons c) Cyclic hydrocarbons have more hydrogen atoms than acyclic hydrocarbons, as cyclic hydrocarbons have defined end carbons which attach to three hydrogen atoms d) Acyclic hydrocarbons have carbons that always attach to two other carbons, meaning they have more hydrogen atoms in total than cyclic hydrocarbons 15. A compound may undergo a chemical reaction, depending on how stable or reactive the compound is in the presence of another compound. Saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo different chemical reactions, as they have different levels of reactivity towards different compounds. Which of the following best explains the difference in reactivity between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons? a) Saturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons, as single carbon-carbon bonds can be broken more easily than double or triple bonds b) Saturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons, as each of the hydrogens attached to the saturated hydrocarbon can be easily replaced by other atoms c) Unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons, as unsaturated hydrocarbons contain no single carbon-carbon bonds d) Unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons, as their double or triple carbon-carbon bonds can be broken in chemical reactions 16. The three functional groups of hydrocarbons that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms are alkane, alkene and alkyne. Through the use of chemical reactions, it is possible for an alkane to become an alkyne and visa versa. How is an alkyne converted to an alkane? © Endeavour College of Natural Health Last updated on 6-Feb-14 976098b924e948ccbbbf80cba3cc5556 Page 5 of 9 a) Hydration reactions are needed to convert an alkyne to an alkene, as the reaction removes double carbon-carbon bonds and replaces them with oxygen and hydrogen atoms b) One hydrogenation reaction is required to convert an alkyne to an alkane, with the reaction breaking two carbon-carbon bonds and replacing it with two hydrogen atoms c) Hydration reactions are needed to convert an alkyne to an alkene, as the reaction removes double carbon-carbon bonds and replaces them with hydrogen atoms d) Two hydrogenation reactions are required to convert an alkyne to an alkane, with each hydrogenation reaction breaking a carbon-carbon bond and replacing it with two hydrogen atoms 17. In a bromination reaction an alkene is added to a red bromine solution, but the red colour quickly disappears. However, if an alkane is added to a red bromine solution, the red colour is maintained. Which of the following best explains the results described above? a) The bromine atoms are incorporated into the alkane readily, so there is no red bromine left in solution when the alkane is present b) The bromine atoms are incorporated into the alkane readily, so the bromine solution remains red when the alkane is present c) The bromine atoms are incorporated into the alkene readily, so there is no red bromine left in solution when the alkene is present d) The bromine atoms are incorporated into the alkene readily, so the bromine solution remains red when the alkene is present 18. Differences in the carbon-carbon bonding arrangements within hydrocarbons is the distinction between the alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. An alkane, alkene or alkyne compound with four carbons each have a different number of hydrogen atoms. For a four carbon hydrocarbon does the alkane, alkene or alkyne compound possess the most hydrogen atoms and why? a) The alkane compound contains the most hydrogen atoms, as it has the most room to take on hydrogen atoms with only single carbon-carbon bonds © Endeavour College of Natural Health Last updated on 6-Feb-14 976098b924e948ccbbbf80cba3cc5556 Page 6 of 9 b) The alkene compound contains the most hydrogens, as it’s double bond can be broken to take on additional hydrogens c) The alkyne compound contains the most hydrogens, as it’s triple bond can be broken to take on additional hydrogens d) Both the alkene and alkyne compounds possess more hydrogens than the alkane compound, due to the presence of the double and triple bonds, respectively 19. Differences in the carbon-carbon bonding arrangements within hydrocarbons is the distinction between the alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. An alkane, alkene or alkyne compound with four carbons each have a different number of hydrogen atoms. For a four carbon hydrocarbon does the alkane, alkene or alkyne compound possess the least hydrogen atoms and why? a) The alkane compound contains the least hydrogen atoms, as it has the most room to take on hydrogen atoms with only single carbon-carbon bonds b) The alkene compound contains the least hydrogens, as it’s double bond takes up positions that hydrogens could occupy c) The alkyne compound contains the least hydrogens, as it’s triple bond takes up positions that hydrogens could occupy d) Both the alkene and alkyne compounds possess more hydrogens than the alkane compound, due to the presence of the double and triple bonds, respectively 20. While benzene is technically a hydrocarbon, it has a very different structure to the alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Benzene has a ring structure much like other cyclic hydrocarbons but the arrangement of bonds within the ring makes benzene unique. Which of the following best describes the structure of the benzene ring? a) The benzene ring contains six carbons and three double carbon-carbon bonds, with the double bonds evenly spaced out in the ring structure © Endeavour College of Natural Health Last updated on 6-Feb-14 976098b924e948ccbbbf80cba3cc5556 Page 7 of 9 b) The benzene ring contains eight carbons and eight double carbon-carbon bonds, with all of the carbon-carbon bonds in the structure being double bonds c) The benzene ring contains six carbons and six double carbon-carbon bonds, with all of the carbon-carbon bonds in the structure being double bonds d) The benzene ring contains eight carbons and four double carbon-carbon bonds, with the double bonds evenly spaced out in the ring structure 21. The stability of the benzene ring was a discovery that initially baffled scientists. Scientists thought benzene should be reactive as it resembled a cyclic alkene, more than a stable alkane. Which of the following accurately explains the stability of the benzene ring? a) The electrons associate with the carbon atoms in the benzene ring more than the attached hydrogen atoms, which makes the structure stable b) Having both single and double bonds that are fixed and do not change position makes benzene unreactive c) Having double bonds that are fixed and do not change position makes benzene unreactive d) The electrons associated with the carbon atoms in the benzene ring are equally shared by each of the carbons in the ring structure, as the position of the double carbon-carbon bonds continually changes © Endeavour College of Natural Health Last updated on 6-Feb-14 976098b924e948ccbbbf80cba3cc5556 Page 8 of 9 © Endeavour College of Natural Health Last updated on 6-Feb-14 976098b924e948ccbbbf80cba3cc5556 Page 9 of 9
