III. Octane (C₈H₁₈)
IV. 2,2-Dimethylpropane (C₅H₁₂)

Which of the following statements best explains the trend in their boiling points?

● Octane has the highest boiling point because it has the most carbon atoms, leading to stronger
London dispersion forces.
● 2,2-Dimethylpropane has a higher boiling point than hexane due to its compact, branched
structure.
● Butane has the lowest boiling point because it is the smallest alkane with the weakest
intermolecular forces.
● Hexane and 2,2-Dimethylpropane have similar boiling points because they have the same
molecular mass.

24. A student conducts an experiment to measure the boiling points of three different alkanes:
pentane (C₅H₁₂), 2-methylbutane (C₅H₁₂), and hexane (C₆H₁₄). The student records the following
boiling points:

● Pentane: 36°C
● 2-Methylbutane: 28°C
● Hexane: 69°C

Based on the experiment, which of the following statements best explains the observed boiling
points?

● Pentane and 2-methylbutane have different boiling points because 2-methylbutane has a
branched structure, which decreases intermolecular forces.
● Hexane has a higher boiling point than pentane and 2-methylbutane due to its longer carbon
chain and greater molecular mass.
● The boiling point of 2-methylbutane is lower than that of pentane because branched alkanes
have weaker London dispersion forces.
● The experiment shows that the boiling points of alkanes are independent of molecular
structure and depend only on molecular mass.
25. A student is asked to determine the molecular, empirical, and structural formulas for an organic
compound with the molecular formula C₄H₈O₂. The student identifies the compound as butanoic acid.

● Molecular formula: C₄H₈O₂, Empirical formula: C₄H₈O₂, condensed formula: CH₃CH₂COOH

● Molecular formula: C₄H₈O₂, Empirical formula: C₂H₄O, condensed formula: CH₃COOH

26. A student is asked to identify and compare the functional groups present in the following
compounds:

I. Propanone
II. Ethanoic acid
III. Ethanol
IV. Ethyl ethanoate

Which of the following statements correctly identifies the functional groups present in these
compounds?

● Propanone contains an ester group, ethanoic acid contains a hydroxyl group, ethanol contains
a carbonyl group, and ethyl ethanoate contains a carboxyl group.

● Propanone contains a carbonyl group, ethanoic acid contains a carboxyl group, ethanol
contains a hydroxyl group, and ethyl ethanoate contains an ester group.

● Propanone contains a carboxyl group, ethanoic acid contains an ester group, ethanol contains
a hydroxyl group, and ethyl ethanoate contains a carbonyl group.

● Propanone contains a hydroxyl group, ethanoic acid contains an ester group, ethanol contains
a carbonyl group, and ethyl ethanoate contains a carboxyl group.
27. A student analyzes three hydrocarbons at room temperature (25°C): propane (C₃H₈), hexane
(C₆H₁₄), and decane (C₁₀H₂₂). The observations are:

● Propane: gas
● Hexane: liquid
● Decane: solid

Which of the following statements best explains the observed states of these hydrocarbons?

● Propane is a gas because it has a lower molecular weight than hexane and decane, resulting in
weaker intermolecular forces.

● Hexane is a liquid due to its higher molecular weight compared to propane, which allows it to
have stronger London dispersion forces.

● Decane is solid because its larger molecular size leads to increased London dispersion forces,
making it less likely to exist as a liquid at room temperature.

● The states of these hydrocarbons are determined solely by their molecular weights, with
heavier compounds always being solids.

28. A student investigates the states of water (H₂O), methanol (CH₃OH), and diethyl ether (C₂H₅)₂O at
room temperature (25°C). The states are as follows:

● Water: liquid
● Methanol: liquid
● Diethyl ether: liquid

Which statement best describes the role of hydrogen bonding in determining the states of these
substances?

● Water has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether due to stronger hydrogen bonds, which are
present in both but are more extensive in water.

● Methanol is a gas at room temperature because it has weaker hydrogen bonds than water.

● Diethyl ether, although liquid, has a lower boiling point than water due to weaker London
dispersion forces instead of hydrogen bonding.

● All three compounds are liquids due to similar molecular weights and the presence of
hydrogen bonding.
29. A student conducts an experiment to measure the densities of three organic liquids at room
temperature (25°C): water (H₂O), ethanol (C₂H₅OH), and hexane (C₆H₁₄). The student records the
following densities:

● Water: 1.00 g/cm³

● Ethanol: 0.789 g/cm³
● Hexane: 0.654 g/cm³

After measuring, the student adds equal volumes of these three liquids to a container and observes
the layers formed.

Which of the following statements best explains the layering observed in the container?

● Water is the least dense liquid and floats on top of ethanol and hexane.

● Ethanol is denser than water, causing it to sink to the bottom, while hexane floats on top of
both.

● Hexane is the least dense and will float on top of both water and ethanol, which are miscible.

● All three liquids will mix completely because they are organic compounds with similar
densities.

30. A student is studying the compound butanoic acid (C₄H₈O₂) and its structural isomers, including 2-
methylpropanoic acid. The student also considers the effects of the position of the carboxylic acid
functional group on the compound's physical properties, such as boiling point and acidity.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the impact of the position of the carboxylic acid
functional group on the properties of the isomers?

● The boiling point of 2-methylpropanoic acid is lower than that of butanoic acid because
branching decreases intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

● Butanoic acid will be more acidic than 2-methylpropanoic acid due to the inductive effect of
the alkyl groups on the carboxylate ion formed.

● The position of the carboxylic acid group does not affect the acidity of the compound, as both
isomers have the same functional group.

● The presence of the carboxylic acid at the terminal position in butanoic acid increases its
boiling point compared to 2-methylpropanoic acid due to stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
