  • For each pair of compounds in questions 01.1 and 01.2, give a reagent (or combination of reagents) that could be added separately to each compound to distinguish between them. State what is observed in A and B.
    A is a ketone, B is a carboxylic acid
    Universal indicator
    A has no change/ neutral
    B is red/ acidic
  • Explain why more of isomer E than isomer F is formed in this reaction.
    More stable carbocation formed, as secondary carbocations more stable than primary carbocations
