201 0 1 0 . 1 This question is about six isomers of C6H10O2 Give the full IUPAC name of isomer P. [1 mark] A sample of P was mixed with an excess of oxygen and the mixture ignited. After cooling to the original temperature, the total volume of gas remaining was 335 cm3 When this gas mixture was passed through aqueous sodium hydroxide, the carbon dioxide reacted and the volume of gas decreased to 155 cm3 Both gas volumes were measured at 25 C and 105 kPa Write an equation for the combustion of P in an excess of oxygen and calculate the mass, in mg, of P used. The gas constant R = 8.31 J K1 mol1 [5 marks] 1 0 . 2 *20* Mass of P used mg IB/M/Jun17/7405/2<br />
 21Figure 4 Isomer Q (C6H10O2) is a cyclic compound. The infrared spectrum of Q is shown in Figure 4 and the 13C NMR spectrum of Q is shown in Figure 5. Use these spectra and Tables A and C in the Data Booklet to deduce the structure of Q. In your answer, state one piece of evidence you have used from each spectrum.

 Although the 13C spectra of R and S both show the same number of peaks, the spectra can be used to distinguish between the isomers. Justify this statement using Table C from the Data Booklet. Give the number of peaks for each isomer. [3 marks] 22Isomers R and S are shown. 1 0 . 4 Justification Number of peaks *22* IB/M/Jun17/7405/2<br />
 23Although the 1H spectra of R and S both show the same number of peaks, the spectra can be used to distinguish between the isomers. Justify this statement using the splitting patterns of the peaks. Give the number of peaks for each isomer. [3 marks] Justification 1 0 . 5 Number of peaks Question 10 continues on the next page *23* Turn overIB/M/Jun17/7405/2<br />
 241 0 . 6 The action of heat on 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid can lead to two different products. On gentle heating, 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid loses water to form a cyclic compound, T (C6H10O2). Under different conditions, 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid forms a polyester. Draw the structure of T. Draw the repeating unit of the polyester and name the type of polymerisation. [3 marks] Structure of T Repeating unit of polyester Type of polymerisation *24* IB/M/Jun17/7405/2<br />
 251 0 . 7 Isomer U is shown. The polymer formed by U and the polymer formed by 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid in Question 10.6 both contain ester groups that can be hydrolysed. Draw the repeating unit of the polymer formed by U. Justify the statement that, although both polymer structures contain ester groups, the polymer formed by U is not biodegradable. [3 marks] Repeating unit of polymer formed by U. Justification Turn over for the next question 21 *25* Turn overIB/M/Jun17/7405/2<br />
