Questions and Answers

What distinguishes inorganic reactions from organic reactions based on the laboratory observation?

  • Inorganic reactions require several hours to complete, while organic reactions occur almost instantly with appropriate catalysts.
  • Inorganic reactions occur almost instantly, while organic reactions require several hours even with catalysts. (correct)
  • Inorganic reactions are more soluble in water, while organic reactions require petroleum ether for solubility.
  • Inorganic reactions produce more smoke, while organic reactions tend to be less flammable.
  • What type of test involves heating a mixture with dry copper (II) oxide to detect the presence of carbon and hydrogen?

  • Solubility Test
  • Conductivity Test
  • Ignition Test
  • Qualitative Test for Elements in Organic Compounds (correct)
  • What is the purpose of the flammability test outlined in the procedure?

  • To assess the color and smokiness of water
  • To observe charring of sucrose
  • To test the conductivity of organic compounds
  • To determine if a substance is flammable (correct)
