Worked practice questions

How is glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) classified by the number of –OH groups it contains?

  1. Monohydric alcohol
  2. Dihydric alcohol
  3. Trihydric alcohol
  4. Phenol
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Trihydric alcohol

Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups (on C1, C2 and C3), making it a **trihydric** alcohol. Monohydric carries one –OH (e.g. ethanol) dihydric two (e.g. ethylene glycol).

As per your syllabus, + Fig 9.1, the H-C-H bond angle in methane and the carbon hybridisation are which?

  1. 180° and sp
  2. 109.5° and sp³
  3. 104.5° and sp³
  4. 120° and sp²
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 109.5° and sp³

Your syllabus: methane has tetrahedral geometry, sp³ carbon, all H-C-H bond angles 109.5°.

As per your syllabus, the rate of substitution of HYDROGENS in alkane halogenation goes in which order (by carbon class)?

  1. 2° > 3° > 1°
  2. 1° > 2° > 3°
  3. All equal
  4. 3° > 2° > 1°
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 3° > 2° > 1°

Your syllabus: 3° > 2° > 1° (matches free-radical stability — tertiary radical is most stable).
