Questions

  1. 1.

    Which functional group is synthesized through the condensation reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol and is commonly responsible for the pleasant, fruity aromas of fruits and perfumes?

    • A) Ether
    • B) Amide
    • C) Ester

    • A) Amide
    • B) Alcohol
    • C) Ether
    • D) Carboxylic acid
  3. 3.

    • A) Ketone
    • B) Ester
    • C) Ether
    • D) Aldehyde
  4. 4.

    Which of the following functional groups acts predominantly as a Brønsted–Lowry base in dilute aqueous solution?

    • A) Amide
    • B) Carboxylic acid
    • C) Amine
    • D) Ester
  5. 5.

    Which of the following functional groups generally imparts the highest normal boiling point to an organic compound compared to other compounds of similar molar mass, primarily due to its ability to form stable intermolecular hydrogen-bonded dimers?

    • A) Carboxylic acid
    • B) Primary alcohol
    • C) Ketone
    • D) Ester
