(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of cellulose acetate.

Interpretation: The structure of cellulose acetate is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: Cellulose is the polymer of glucose. A larger number of glucose molecules combine together to form cellulose polymer.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason for cellulose acetate being soluble in organic solvents.

Interpretation: The reason for cellulose acetate is soluble in organic solvent even though cellulose is not is to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason for the given observation.

Interpretation: The reason for the disintegration of acetate blouse into a pile of white stuff on the action of acetone is to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The fact which comes true as a result of the given action.

Interpretation: The fact which results when students wear polyvinyl chloride shoes to the organic laboratory is to be stated.

Concept Introduction: Solubility obeys the principle of ‘like dissolve like’ which means polar solutes dissolves in the polar solvent and non polar solute dissolves in non polar solvents.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the reaction between Group 1 metals and water? Group of answer choices These reactions result in a basic solution. The metals do not actually react easily with water due to the metals' lack of conductivity. These reaction result in an acidic solution. The metals need their outer coatings of metal oxides to react.
Which element cannot interact with hydrogen through hydrogen bonds? Group of answer choices O S Br N
Which of the following statements is false regarding hydrogen gas production? Group of answer choices Steam reforming requires a catalyst. Methanol (CH3OH) can react with water using a ZnO catalyst to form H2(g). Methanol (CH3OH) can react with O2(g) using a Pd catalyst to form H2(g). The reaction between CH4(g) and H2O to form H2(g) requires a temperature of at least 700 oC
