Question 4

Which of the following statements about aromatic compounds is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

Aromatic compounds undergo substitution reactions rather than addition reactions.

Question 5

Which of the following alcohols is a secondary alcohol?

Accepted Answer

2-propanol

Question 6

During the dehydration of 2-butanol with heat and acid, which product is favored according to Zaitsev’s rule?

Accepted Answer

2-bromobutane

Question 11

Which of the following statements about the solubility of alcohols is correct?

Accepted Answer

Alcohols with fewer carbon atoms are more soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding.
