Forgot to write an update on Monday, so here it is. About the mc question with the molecular formula my teacher said it was a mistake and was literally impossible, so we all got a free mark lol

That makes sense, also hooray for a free mark 🙂

hey guys can someone please go over the reaction pathways

Maddz

what specifically about pathways?

010000studyhard

Like which pathways are we supposed to mainly know for exams.
Because obviously not all of them are there

Maddz

I would guess just mainly reagents and how to draw molecules as they are converted (i.e primary hydroxy to carbonyl (carboxylic acid)

Some example questions:

A Hex-3-ene has a Br added, what is the IUPAC name for it?

State the reagent(s) required to convert hex-3-ene to hexan-3-ol

Maddz

If any specific I would predict how to go from the alkane/ene groups to hydroxy to carbonyl will be on there along with halos

Also, is it that the NHT are similar to the actual exam each year?

Sorry to bother everyone, but on the electrochemical series on the oxidant side of the reactions, there are two different water equations. Can someone tell me when to use these and why?

Oisud

That is logical, and congratulations on the free mark.
