A task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known ascompounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds throughvarious scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the samemolecular formula, CSHSO. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all ofthese compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to anorganic compound with the molecular formula C§H100. However, compound K canbe easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa forcompound L. Furthermore, when both compounds react with Fehling's solutions,they produce negative results. However, only compound K forms a silver mirrorwhen it reacts with Tollen's reagent, and compound L does not.Identify the possible structural formulae for compounds K, L, and N by ignoringtheir position isomerism.Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K.Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.

Identify the possible their position isomerism. Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K. Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine.

A task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known as compounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds through various scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the same molecular formula, C8H8O. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all of these compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H10O. However, compound K can be easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa for compound L. Furthermore, when both compounds reach with Fehling's solutions, they produce negative results.

) PLA, a polyester-based synthetic polymer, decomposes in our body fluid and separates into its constituent acids and alcohol. This acid in the body can cause inflammation. What would you recommend to overcome this disadvantage? b) The late decomposition of PLA, which is a biodegradable and hydrophobic polymer, in body fluid may create a disadvantage in applications where faster degradation is desired. What would you suggest to do to resolve this situation? Please explain.
The following is an experimental account of the preparation of compound B from Phenylamine. 2cm3 of phenylamine are dissolved in 10cm3 of 0.5M hydrochloric acid in a test tube and cooled in an ice bath. 5cm3 of 0.2M sodium nitrate solution cooled to about 5o are added to the solution above and shaken. A salt A, C6H5N2Cl is formed, collected and dried. 1g of salt A is dissolved in 10cm3 of water, cooled and added drop by drop to a cold solution of 0.3g phenol in 5cm3 of 0.1M sodium hydroxide solution. B is precipitated, filtered, dried and the melting point determined. B is further crystallized twice and the melting point taken each time and found to be constant. Questions: (i) Give the name and suggest the colour of the precipitate B. Hence explain why it is necessary to recrystallize B several times. (ii) Why was it necessary to obtain a constant melting point for B?
