Chemistry QUESTION #1445

What is the major product when ethyl acetate is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions?

Acetic acid and ethanol✔️
Acetaldehyde and ethanol
Acetone and ethanol
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

Acid hydrolysis (esterification in reverse) of ethyl acetate ($CH_3COOC_2H_5$) proceeds by nucleophilic acyl substitution: $CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O \xrightarrow{H^+} CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH$. The products are acetic acid (ethanoic acid) and ethanol. This is a Fischer esterification run in reverse (saponification under acidic conditions gives the acid, not the carboxylate salt).

Statistics QUESTION #2007

Question 5386

In the confidence interval for $p_1 - p_2$, with $\hat{p}_1 = 62/100 = 0.62$ and $\hat{p}_2 = 69/150 = 0.46$, the estimated standard error $SE(\hat{p}_1 - \hat{p}_2)$ equals:

$\sqrt{\dfrac{0.62(0.38)}{100} + \dfrac{0.46(0.54)}{150}}$✔️
$\sqrt{\dfrac{0.62(0.38) + 0.46(0.54)}{250}}$
$\dfrac{0.62 - 0.46}{\sqrt{250}}$
$\sqrt{\dfrac{0.54 \times 0.46}{250}}$

Correct Answer Logic:

For independent samples and a confidence interval (not a hypothesis test), the SE is $\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}_1(1-\hat{p}_1)}{n_1} + \dfrac{\hat{p}_2(1-\hat{p}_2)}{n_2}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.62 \times 0.38}{100} + \dfrac{0.46 \times 0.54}{150}}$. The pooled estimate is used only for hypothesis testing, not CI construction.

Federal Rules of Evidence (US) QUESTION #3787

Question 5388

A defendant is charged with arson. The prosecution calls a witness to testify that the defendant's wife told the witness, 'My husband set that fire.' The wife refuses to testify, invoking her spousal immunity. Is the witness's testimony about the wife's statement admissible?

Yes, as an admission by a party-opponent.
No, because it is hearsay and also violates the spousal privilege.✔️
Yes, if the statement was an 'Excited Utterance.'
No, because the wife is 'unavailable' and her statement is not against her own interest.

Correct Answer Logic:

The statement is hearsay. It is not an admission because the wife is not a party. Furthermore, marital privileges often prevent such testimony if the communication was confidential or if the spouse refuses to testify.

Chemistry QUESTION #5582

Question 5396

In a reaction sequence, sodium phenoxide reacts with $CO_2$ under pressure at 125°C (Kolbe–Schmitt reaction) to give B, which on acetylation with $Ac_2O$ gives C. What is the major product C?

Methyl salicylate (OH and $COOCH_3$ on ring)
Ortho-acetoxybenzoic acid ($OCOCH_3$ and $COOH$ ortho)✔️
Para-acetoxybenzoic acid ($OCOCH_3$ and $COOH$ para)
A compound with keto groups

Correct Answer Logic:

Kolbe–Schmitt reaction: Sodium phenoxide + $CO_2$ (125°C, 5 atm) → Sodium salicylate (2-hydroxybenzoate), acidified to give salicylic acid (B = 2-hydroxybenzoic acid). Acetylation of salicylic acid with $Ac_2O$ preferentially acetylates the –OH group → product C = 2-(acetyloxy)benzoic acid = aspirin (ortho-acetoxybenzoic acid).

CISA QUESTION #1740

Question 5397

Upon discovering suspected illegal activity or serious irregularities during an audit, the auditor is obligated to immediately report the matter directly to law enforcement authorities. Is this statement true or false?

True
False✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

This statement is false. The correct protocol is for the auditor to promptly report the irregularity or suspected illegal act to a level of management one tier above where the activity occurred. If the suspected activity involves those responsible for internal controls, the matter should be escalated to the highest available level of management — typically the audit committee. The auditor should never contact law enforcement directly unless specifically advised to do so by their own legal counsel.
