1. Hydrocarbons are arranged in different groups: alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and cycloalkanes. Alkenes are aromatic hydrocarbons.
    True
    False


2. What is the functional group of an alkene?
    carbon-carbon single covalent bond
    carbon-carbon double covalent bond
    carbon-carbon triple covalent bond
    ionic bonds


3. Which of the following alkenes doesn't exist?
    octene
    pentene
    butene
    methene


4. By which of the following reactions do you obtain ethane from ethene (ethylene)?
    Hydration
    Hydrogenation (Addition of Hydrogen)
    Addition of Chlorine
    Substitution


5. When ethene (ethylene) undergoes a chemical reaction with water in the presence of sulfuric acid, it produces a compound (A).
What exactly is the compound (A)?
    methanol (methyl alcohol)
    ethane
    acetic acid
    ethanol (ethyl alcohol)


6. Sometimes we can obtain alcohol from an alkene. What is the functional group of any alcohol?
    hydroxyl group
    carbon-carbon single covalent bond
    carboxyl functional group
    None of these


7. An alcohol reacts with acetic acid to produce two compounds.
What is the chemical name of acetic acid?
    methanoic acid
    ethanoic acid
    vinegar
    None of these


8. When ethanol (ethyl alcohol) undergoes a reaction with acetic acid, it produces an ester and a compound (B).
What is the name of the compound (B)?
    None of these
    methanoic acid
    water
    methyl alcohol (methanol)


9. Esters are artificial compounds that are used in industry. What is (are) its use(s)?
    insecticidal
    flavor and odor
    preservative
    all of these


10. Ethanol (ethyl alcohol), ester, and acetic acid contain both carbon and hydrogen atoms, but are they hydrocarbons?
    Yes, since they are produced by hydrocarbons.
    No, because hydrocarbons don't have functional groups, while these compounds do.
    No, because hydrocarbons are only of three kinds.
    No, because they contain the atom oxygen.
