Question 1

Which of the following is the correct IUPAC name for the compound with the structure: $$CH_3CH_2CH(CH_2CH_3)CH(CH_3$)CH_2CH_3$$?

Accepted Answer

3-ethyl-4-methylheptan

Question 2

Which statement about the conformation of 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane shown below is correct?

Accepted Answer

The two methyl groups are cis to each other.

Question 3

For the ring-flip of methylcyclohexane, which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

At equilibrium, there will be more B than A.

Question 4

In the following reaction mechanism, which statements are true?

$$HO^- + CH_3CHBrCH_3 \rightarrow CH_3CH=CH_2$ + H_2O + Br^-$$

Accepted Answer

$$Br^- is $$formed as a byproduct.

Question 5

Which statement about the structure shown below is correct?

(Straight-chain alkane with 6 carbons and no branches)

Accepted Answer

The trans isomer is shown.

Question 6

Which statement about the cis-trans isomers of but-2-ene is correct?

Accepted Answer

The trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer due to less steric hindrance between the two methyl groups.

Question 7

Given the electrostatic potential map of chloromethane ($$CH_3Cl$$), which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

The electron density is shifted toward Cl because it is more electronegative.
