decomposed by water?
(ii) What happens when propene is passed into cold dilute potassium permanganate solution?
(iii) What happens when addition of hydrogen bromide to propene.
(iv) What happens when ethyl chloride is heated with alcoholic solution of KOH.
(e) Give an account on the manufacture of sodium by Down process.
(f) Describe the laboratory preparation of iodine with a suitable diagram.
(g) 6.5 g of a mixture of sodium chloride and anhydrous sodium carbonate were made up to 500 cm3 of
aqueous solution. 25cm3 of this solution required 20 cm3 of 0.104M sulphuric acid for neutralization.
Calculate the percentage by mass of sodium chloride in the mixture.(C =12,O =16,Na =32).
