    CH3
    Me CH CH3

    C C

    5. Carbon–carbon double bonds do not freely rotate like carbon–carbon single bonds.
    Why? [1 mark]
    A The double bond is much stronger and thus more difficult to rotate.
    B Overlap of the two 2p orbitals of the –bond would be lost.
    C The shorter bond length of the double bond makes it more difficult for the
    attached groups to pass each other.
    D Overlap of the orbitals of the carbon–carbon -bond would be lost.

    6. Which of the following is the correct prefix for the following diene? [1 mark]

    H CH3

    H 3C C C

    C C CH2CH3

    H H

    C (2Z,4E)–
    D (2E,4Z)–

    stereoisomers.? [2 marks]
    A four
    B five
    C six
    D seven

    8. Compounds containing oxygen are sometimes added to hydrocarbon fuels to reduce


    incomplete combustion and improve engine performance.
    Which contains the greatest number of oxygen atoms? [2 marks]
    3

    C 6.2 g of ethane-1,2-diol, CH2OHCH2OH
    D 7.4 g of butan-1-ol, C4H9OH

    Part 2 [30 marks]


    1. (a) Petroleum contains a mixture of hydrocarbons. The mixture can be separated into
    fractions by fractional distillation. These fractions contain saturated hydrocarbons
    that belong to the homologous series of alkanes.
    (i) State what is meant by the terms hydrocarbon and homologous. [2 marks]
    (ii) On what physical property of compounds is the separation based? [1 mark]
    (b) One of the fractions, naphtha, is cracked to give more useful substances. A typical
    constituent of naphtha is decane, C10H22. Write two chemical equations for the
    cracking of decane to show how propene and other alkanes are produced.
