Worked Solution & Example Answer:Compounds X, Y and Z are, respectively A - VCE - SSCE Chemistry - Question 12 - 2007 - Paper 1
Step 1
Identify compounds X, Y, and Z
Answer
From the options given, we identify the structures of the compounds. Option C presents:
- Compound X: bromoethane (a bromo derivative of ethane)
- Compound Y: ethanoic acid (commonly known as acetic acid)
- Compound Z: ethyl propanoate (an ester derived from ethanoic acid and propanoic acid).
Thus, the correct identifiers for compounds X, Y, and Z are bromoethane, ethanoic acid, and ethyl propanoate respectively.
