CHEM 219 Module 5 Exams: Principles of
Organic Chemistry (2025) | Portage Learning
– Verified Q&A
1. Oxacyclohexane ANS Name the following ether using IUPAC systematic
nomenclature
2. Carboxylic acids form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding to each
other. Due to these hydrogen bonds, they exist in the form of dimers. This
strong hydrogen bonding is the reason for the increase of boiling points of
carboxylic acids. ANS Describe the bonding interactions that occur in
carboxylic acids and the effect that these interactions have on the boiling
points of carboxylic acids
3. 2-methoxyhexane ANS Name the following ether using IUPAC systematic
nomenclature
4. The greater reactivity of acid anhydrides compared to esters is due to the
presence of the additional carbonyl group in the anhydrides. ANS True
1
, 5. 1,4-dioxacyclohexane ANS Name the following ether using IUPAC
systematic nomenclature
6. Cyclopentanol ANS Name the following alcohol using IUPAC systematic
nomenclature
7. The more electron-poor the C=O of a molecule, the greater the reactivity of
that compound with nucleophiles. ANS True
8. Carboxylic acids and their derivatives tend to react by substitution at the
C=O because they have a leaving group at the carbonyl carbon where
aldehydes and ketones do not. ANS Explain why carboxylic acids and their
derivatives tend to react by substitution at the C=O, while aldehydes and
ketones tend to react by addition to the C=O
9. 2-Buten-1-ol ANS Name the following alcohol using IUPAC systematic
nomenclature
10. Propyl cyclopropanecarboxylate ANS Match the IUPAC ester name to the
structural formula
