Which conversions are consistent with the given information? 1 74 g of butan-2-ol (Mr = 74.0)  44.64 g of butanone (Mr = 72.0) 2 72 g of butanal (Mr = 72.0)  45.88 g of butan-1-ol (Mr = 74.0) 3 56 g of but-2-ene (Mr = 56.0)  37.20 g of ethanoic acid (Mr = 60.0) A 1, 2 and 3 B 1 and 2 only C 2 and 3 only D 1 only 2 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. Sodium percarbonate, x(Na2CO3).y(H2O2) is a chemical that is used in cleaning powders. When dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate, both of which are useful cleaning agents. A sample of 10.0 cm 3 of 0.100 mol dm ‒3 sodium percarbonate requires 20.0 cm 3 of 0.100 mol dm‒3 of acidified KI before the end point of titration is reached. Another identical sample releases 48.0 cm 3 of carbon dioxide at room conditions on reaction with excess acid. What are the values of x and y respectively? x y A 2 1 B 3 2 C 2 3 D 3 1
