Draw the structural formula for the following:

2, 3-dimethyl butane

Draw the structural formula for the following:

Diethyl ether

Draw the structural formula for the following :

propanoic acid

Give the structural formulae of the following:

Salts A, B, C, D and E undergo reactions (i) to (v) respectively. Identify the anion present in these salts on the basis of these reactions. Tabulate your answers in the format given below:
(i) When silver nitrate solution is added to asolution of A, a white precipitate, insoluble in dilute nitric acid, is formed.
(ii) Addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to B produces a gas which turns lead acetate paper black.
(iii) When a freshly prepared solution of ferrous sulphate is added to a solution of C and concentrated sulphuric acid is gently poured from the side of the test, a brown ring is formed.
(iv) When dilute sulphuric acid is added to D, a gas is produced which turns acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green.
(v) Addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to E produces an effervescence. The gas produced turns limewater milky but does not affect acidified potassium dichromate solution.

Give the structural formulae of the following :

Ethanoic acid

Give the structural formulae of the following :

Butna-2ol

Select from the list given (a to e) one substances in each case which matches the description given in parts (i) to (v). (Note : Each substance is used only one in the answer)
(a) Nitroso Iron (II) Sulphate
(b) Iron (III) chloride
(c) Chromium sulphate
(d) Lead (II) chloride
(e) Sodium chloride
(i) A compound which is deliquescent
(ii) A compound which is insoluble in cold water, but soluble in hot water
(iii) The compound responsible for the brown ring during the brown ring test of nitrate iron
(iv) A compound whose aqueous solution is neutral in nature
(v) The compound which is responsible for the green colouration when sulphur dioxide is passed through acidified potassium dichromate solution
