consider the following scheme of reactions areas outside the box will not be scanned for marking ch ch ch propane ch ch ch cl chloropropane ch chclch chloropropane ch ch ch oh propan ol ch ch oh ch propan ol propanal propanone a state the type of structural isomerism shown by propanal and propanone mark b a chemical test can be used to distinguish between separate samples of propanal and propanone identify a suitable reagent for the test state what you would observe with propanal and with propanone test reagent observation with propanal observation with propanone marks c state the structural feature of propanal and propanone which can be identified from their infrared spectra by absorptions at approximately cm you may find it helpful to refer to table on the data sheet mark wmp jan chem areas outside the box will not be scanned for marking d the reaction of chlorine with propane is similar to the reaction of chlorine with methane d i name the type of mechanism in the reaction of chlorine with methane mark d ii write an equation for each of the following steps in the mechanism for the reaction of chlorine with propane to form l chloropropane ch ch ch cl initiation step first propagation step second propagation step a termination step to form a molecule with the empirical formula c h marks e high resolution mass spectrometry of a sample of propane indicated that it was contaminated with traces of carbon dioxide use the data in the table to show how precise mr values can be used to prove that the sample contains both of these gases atom c h o precise relative atomic mass marks turn over wmp jan chem
