  1. Q1. Which root word corresponds to four carbon atoms?

    • A.pent
    • B.prop
    • C.but
    • D.eth

    Answer: C. but

  2. Q2. Which is correctly named?

    • A.CH4 is methanol
    • B.CH3COOH is ethanol
    • C.C2H5OH is ethanol
    • D.C2H4 is ethane

    Answer: C. C2H5OH is ethanol

    Asked for the unknown; data is laid out in the stem. By F = m*a, V = I*R, n = m/M, v = f*lambda, KE = (1/2) m v^2). F = m*a, V = I*R, n = m/M, v = f*lambda, KE = (1/2) m v^2) → hence the required answer = C2H5OH is ethanol. recall the defining law / equation for the named quantity (e.g. Hence option C) C2H5OH is ethanol. Others fail: option A) 'CH4 is methanol' is wrong because CH4 is methane; option B) 'CH3COOH is ethanol' doesn't hold - CH3COOH is ethanoic acid.

  3. Q3. A saturated open-chain hydrocarbon is built from 1 carbon atoms linked only by single bonds; what is its IUPAC name?

    • A.methane
    • B.propane
    • C.ethane
    • D.methene

    Answer: A. methane

    With 1 carbons and only single bonds it is an alkane (CnH2n+2). The stem for 1 carbons is 'meth' and the suffix is '-ane', giving methane.
