Q

Benzene

Hydrogenation evidence

A

Expect hydrogenation to be -360
But it was 208 - so far else exothermic than thought
Benzene is more stable

Q

Benzene

Halogen carrier

A

Accepts a lone pair from a halogen atom on electrophile

As it’s pulled away polarisation increases

Q

Benzene

Phenol more reactive

A

lone pairs on O overlap with delocalised ring, so they’re partially delocalised into the pi system
Increasing electron density so more likely to be attacked by electrophiles

Q

Reducing aldehyde and ketone mechanism

A

H- attacks carbon and double bond goes to O
O:- is left
O:- goes to H+ in dipole of water

Q

Hydrogen Cyanide

A

Weak acid which dissociates to give H+ and CN-

20
Q

Carbonyls and hydrogen cyanide

A

N=-C: attacks C
= goes to O making O:-
H+ goes to O:-

21
Q

Hydrogen Cyanide dangers

A

toxic gas
solution of acidified cyanide is used
performed in fume cupboard

22
Q

Test for aldehydes and ketones

A

2,4 - DNP - dissolved in methanol and concentrated sulphuric acid
Bright orange ppt - recrystallise and measure melting point and compare to known values

23
Q

Test for aldehydes

A

Tollens’ reagent (silver nitrate in aq ammonia)

Silver mirror when tollens is reduced
