Marking-scheme solution
(a) (i) \(\displaystyle \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH} /\) (Ethanoic acid) / Acetic acid
Nature = acidic
Functional group = - COOH / (carboxylic acid)
\(\displaystyle \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{NaOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
(ii) ($\displaystyle 1$) B - Ethanol / Ethyl alcohol / \(\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\)
C - Ester / Ethyl ethanoate / Ethyl acetate
(2) Acid acts as a Catalyst in this reaction
acid
OR
(b) (i) Ethene/ \(\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}\)
As a dehydrating agent
(ii) • The process in which unsaturated hydrocarbons/compounds react with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (Ni / Pd) to give saturated hydrocarbon.
