Alkanes & Crude Oil quiz Loading... 1. Why is carbon dioxide, CO₂ harmful to the environment?It competes with oxygen for uptake in plants preventing them from photosynthesisingIt is a greenhouse gas and may contribute to global warmingIt is very slightly coloured and blocks sunlight in the atmosphere if too much builds upIt is acidic and can change the pH of fresh and salt water when dissolvedQuestion 1 of 22 Loading... 2. Recall the products of the complete combustion of alkanesCarbon monoxide and waterCarbon and waterCarbon dioxide and waterWater and oxygenQuestion 2 of 22 Loading... 3. State the problem associated with sulfur dioxide in the atomosphere?The sulfur dioxide is poisonous because it reduces the blood\'s capacity to carry oxygenThe sulfur dioxide can react with nitrous oxides to form acidic particulatesThe sulfur dioxide causes increased levels of radicals in the atmosphere leading to the destruction of the ozone layerThe sulfur dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to form acidic solutions (acid rain)Question 3 of 22 Loading... 4. A student has been asked to draw all the alkene isomers of C₄H₈ and draws the following. Which of the following statements about the student's diagram is correct?The displayed formulae are correct, and the names are: 1) but-1-ene 2) but-2-ene and 3) methylpropene.The student is wrong because the molecules labelled 1 and 2 are the same molecule, so not different isomersThe displayed formulae are correct, and the names are: 1) but-1-ene 2) but-2-ene and 3) methylbutene.The displayed formulae are correct, and the names are: 1) but-1-ene 2) but-2-ene and 3) methylpropene. However, the student has forgotten to also draw cyclobutane.Question 4 of 22 Loading... 5. Do larger molecules have higher or lower boiling points than smaller molecules?It depends on which atoms are presentHigherSize doesn\'t affect boiling pointLowerQuestion 5 of 22 Loading... 6. How does sulfur dioxide form in car engines?Petrol includes the impurity sulfur, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedWhen the petrol combusts the sulfur dioxide impurities are left behindAcid rain causes some sulfur impurities to get into the car engine, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedThe metals the car is made from contain some impurities of sulfur and when the engine heats up, some sulfur dioxide is formedQuestion 6 of 22 Loading... 7.
