Your answers are correct for 1, 4, and 5. :-)
# 2. Nobel is the DO. Man is the object complement modifying Nobel.
# 3. Since (with his money) is a prepositional phrase, the DO can't be money.
To find the direct object, ask: What did the chemist establish?

Normal English word order with a transitive verb (means it can take a direct object) is this:
Subject ~~> Main verb ~~> Direct object
John hit the baseball.
John = subject
hit = main verb
baseball = direct object
Sarah won her last game.
Sarah = subject
won = main verb
game = direct object
Please try #3 again.

6. yes
7. yes
8. yes
9. almost; it's a compound direct object (means there are two or more) -- medal, award
Try #3 again, please.

Prizes is correct for #3. Congrats!!

Here's how to find the indirect object. Ask yourself if there's anything between the verb and the direct object that could be rephrased with "to" or "for" -- ? What do you think?
First find the direct object (and that'll mean you have found the verb and subject, too); then you will see the indirect object clearly.
