Organic Chemistry ❮ 277- Cycloalkanes are hydrocarbons with the general
formula CnH2n. If a 14 g sample of any alkene is
combusted in excess oxygen, how many moles of
water will form?
(A) 14 moles
(B) 2.0 moles
(C) 1.0 mole
(D) 28 moles

CH 3The organic compound shown above would be
classified as:
(A) an organic base
(B) an ether
(C) an alcohol
(D) an aldehyde
3. HO C CH 2

CH 3The above compound would be classified as:
(A) an aldehyde
(B) a ketone
(C) an ester
(D) a carboxylic acid- Which of the following compounds is optically
active?
(A) CH 3 CHClCH 2 CH 2 CH 3
(B) CH 3 CH=CHCH 2 CH 3
(C) CH 3 CH 2 CHClCH 2 CH 3
(D) CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH - A carboxylic acid may be represented as:
(A) ROH
(B) RCHO
(C) R-O-R
(D) RCOOH - Which of the following compounds will give the
highest pH when dissolved in water?
(A) CH 3 CHO
(B) CH 3 OH
(C) HCHO 2
(D) CH 3 NH 2 - When naming branched alkanes, be sure to consider the branches when finding the longest
carbon chain. The longest chain isn’t always the one in which the carbon atoms all lie in a
horizontal line. - In naming identical substituents on the longest carbon chain, be sure to use repeating
location numbers, separated by commas (2,2-dimethyl). - Be sure that every carbon has four bonds!
