Midterm Examination Organic Chemistry

This document contains a midterm exam for an organic chemistry course. The exam has three parts: multiple choice questions about amines and esters, naming ester compounds, and drawing structural formulas and discussing carboxylic acids. The multiple choice section tests knowledge of amine and ester properties, reactions, reagents, and acid-base properties. The naming section requires identifying ester compounds from structural diagrams. The illustration section provides diagrams to draw. The essay questions cover carboxylic acid naming rules, geometric properties, and why they have higher boiling points than alcohols. The exam was prepared by an earth science instructor to test students' understanding of key organic chemistry concepts.
