Chemical Technology Questions and Answers – C2 Compounds – Vinyl Acetate

This set of Chemical Technology Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “C2 Compounds – Vinyl Acetate”.

1. What is the molecular weight of vinyl acetate?
a) 86
b) 85
c) 70
d) 69
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Chemical formula of vinyl acetate is CH3COOCH=CH2. It contains 4 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms with 12, 1, and 16 as their atomic weights respectively. Hence the molecular weight is 12*4+1*6+16*2 = 86.

2. Match the following?

     Chemical                          Appearance
I. Mono ethanol amine             i. Pale Yellow oil
II. Di ethanol amine              ii. Colorless crystals
III. Tri ethanol amine            iii. Colorless viscous oil

a) I-iii, II-i, III-ii
b) I-iii, II-ii, III-i
c) I-i, II-ii, III-iii
d) I-ii, II-i, III-iii
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Appearance of mono, di, and tri ethanol amines are colorless viscous oil, colorless crystals, and pale yellow oil. All are soluble in water and alcohol.

4. Which is the most economical process for manufacturing acetaldehyde?
a) Hydration of acetylene
b) Hydration of acetic acid
c) Hydration of formic acid
d) Hydration of ethylene
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Hydration of ethylene is the most economical process as ethylene is cheaper than acetylene. Hence acetaldehyde is produced from ethylene and water using cupric chloride as catalyst.

5. Which of the following column is not observed in acetaldehyde manufacture?
a) Compressor
b) Stripper
c) Regenerator
d) Scrubber
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Acetaldehyde manufacturing process contains a compressor, reactor, cyclone separator, product separator, stripper, 2 pumps, regenerator, and cyclone separator.

6. Ammonolysis is an exothermic reaction.
a) False
b) True
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Ammonolysis is an exothermic reaction, so heat must be removed from the reactor in the production process of ethanol amines from ethylene oxide and ammonia (aqueous).

7. Tri ethanol amine is not available in the form of technical grade.
a) False
b) True
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Tri ethanol amine is available in technical grade with 80% purity (mono and di ethanol amines as impurities). 98% high purity grade is also available.
