Help/advice CHEMISTRY. CIE...? :)

[aldehyde1612]

So next is chemistry paper 2.
i get most of the organic part.. and the general chemistry.
but when it comes to inorganic i get stumped.

Can anyone tell me what i should be clear on??... because i generally understand it but when i did some 'inorganic' questions in pastpapers .. i find myself plainly doing guess work..
so if anyone has any tips/study help for paper 2... or just anything chemistry. POST!!

can u please help me with ... oct 2009 paper22... question 3c.

 

[nid404]

here u go
the eqn is C4H9OH+ HBr---->C4H9Br+ H2O

ratio is 1:1

15.4g of butanol = 15.4/ 74 = 0.208

so theoretically there should be 0.208 moles of bromobutane produced= 28.51 g

but only 22.5g are produced
so yield is 22.5/28.51 X 100= 78.9%

when drawing a skeletal formula for the fuctional group c is emitted in say CHO?

[nid404]

Carbon atoms are the joints so you don't name them.

You cant have a skeletal formula for such a functional group
