6. For the reaction 2PbO + C 2Pb + CO2
a. Identify the oxidant, explaining your reasons.

2PbO, it becomes reduced to 2Pb and is an agent for oxidation of Carbon (1 mark)

b. Identify the reductant,

Carbon(C), it is oxidised thus, it is an agent for the reduction of 2PbO to 2Pb (1 mark)

a. Draw the structure implied by this name.

(1 mark)
b. Explain why the name is incorrect.
The parent chain of this organic molecule is supposed to be hexane but its written pentane. (1 mark)
c. Write the correct IUPAC name.
2-chloro-4-methylhexane

(1 mark)

(2 marks)

9. Describe what you would observe when ethyne is bubbled into a solution of bromine water.
The bromine liquid would bubble vigorously and eventually become decolourised. (1 mark)

10. Draw and name the structural isomers for the alcohols with formula C4H10O.
