20. An organic compound which decolorizes bromine water is likely to be?
- A. C3H8
- B. C2H6
- C. C4H10
- D. C2H4
Correct Option: Answer is A
If you shake an alkene with bromine water (or bubble a gaseous alkene through bromine water), the solution becomes colourless.
Alkenes decolourise bromine water.
21. Crude petroleum is converted to useful products by the processes of?
- A. fractional crystallization
- B. fractional distillation
- C. filtration
- D. chromatography
Correct Option: Answer is B
A process called fractional distillation is used in oil refineries to separate (as well as join or split) the various lengths of hydrocarbon chains to create different petroleum products from the different distillates.
22. An organic compound contains 69% carbon, 15.3% hydrogen and 30.7% oxygen. Calculate the the empirical formula [C=12, H = 1, O = 16]
- A. C44H12O
- B. C33H9O

23. 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
From the equation above, calculate the volume of unreacted oxygen gas if a mixture of 50cm3 of hydroden and 75cm3 of oxygen are involved
- A. 85cm3
- B. 50cm3
- C. 125cm3
- D. 55cm3
Correct Option: Answer is B
Since 2 mol H22 reacted with 1 mol of O2
: 50cm3 of hydrogen reacted with 25cm3 of oxygen
Remainder oxygen = Supplied amount – Reacted amount → 75cm3 – 25cm3
= 50cm3
25. In which of the following will hydrogen form ionic compound?
