I'm not being arrogant? I've told him before that it is the wrong answer, so why is he then preceeding to ask the same question again, whilst being a drama queen..

Is this correct? What the **** I put butanenitrile.

Wasn't this a three mark question? First mark for the naming the nitrile, and next two for reaction? Or was there only one mark for the reaction?

Yes thats correct.

Did they ask to give the name, or formula would do? :/ I gave the formula :/ Didn't they ask for the structural formula?

Structural formula for the nitrile.
However all of it could be structural.

wasnt it CH3CH2CN ???? will i geh a mark fr jjuzz writing that ?!?

Yes

the equation is perfectly correct even i wrote the same !! LOOLL !! i think adding HCL or any acid will make a difference to NH3 not the CARBOXYLIC ACID !! so as long as tths ryte i think its right !!!

1 mark.

no its different because your talking about nucleophillic attacks which is irrelevant. by saying that it undergoes a nucleophillic attack is not answering the question, therefore for one mark you have to make references to it being a better leaving group because of the highly electronegative chlorine.

Spud ^^

Guys, just wanted to check if X was the ketone and Y was the aldehyde, cos I put warm with Fehling's soln and X remains a blue soln whilst Y gives a red ppt.

Yes.
I used benedicts but its the same thing. (colour wise)

Ah OK, that's reassuring. Do you remember the name used for the last question, it was something bath
