- Which of the following compounds shall not produce propene by reaction with HBr followed by elimination or direct only elimination reaction? Answer: 2. H₂C=C=O Key idea: propene forms from a three-carbon alcohol or halide by elimination (or from cyclopropane by HBr ring opening to... 1
- A given nitrogen-containing aromatic compound A reacts with Sn/HCl, followed by HNO_2 to give an unstable compound B. B, on treatment with phenol, forms a beautiful coloured compound C with the molecular formula C_12H_10N_2O. The structure of compoun… Answer: 1. nitrobenzene ( C₆H₅NO₂ ) Key idea: nitro compound → amine → diazonium salt → azo dye. C₆H₅NO₂xrightarrowSn/HClC₆H₅NH₂ C₆H₅NH₂xrig... 1
- Which one of the following nitro-compounds does not react with nitrous acid? Answer: 2. [structure shown in figure] Key idea: a nitroalkane reacts with HNO₂ only if it has an alpha-hydrogen. Primary give nitrolic acid... 1
- The correct structure of the product A formed in the reaction [cyclohex-2-enone, H_2 (gas, 1 atmosphere), Pd/carbon, ethanol → A] is Answer: 1. [structure shown in figure] Key idea: H₂ with Pd/C at 1 atm reduces the C=C bond selectively; the C=O is not reduced under these... 1
- The correct order of strengths of the carboxylic acids [I, II, III shown] is Answer: 1. II > III > I Key idea: an electron-withdrawing atom near COOH stabilises the carboxylate and raises acidity; the effect weakens w... 1
- The coagulation values in millimoles per litre of the electrolytes used for the coagulation of As_2S_3 are given below:I. (NaCl) = 52, II. (BaCl_2) = 0.69,III. (MgSO_4) = 0.22The correct order of their coagulating power is Answer: 2. III > II > I Key idea: coagulating power is inversely proportional to coagulation value (the minimum amount needed). Smaller valu... 1
- The molar conductivity of a [obscured] solution of AgNO_3 with electrolytic conductivity of 5.76×10^-3 S cm^-1 at 298 K is Answer: 1. 11.52 S cm ² /mol Key idea: molar conductivity Lambda_m=kappa×1000/M (S cm ² mol ⁻¹ , kappa in S cm ⁻¹ , M in mol/L). Lambda_m=fr... 1
- During the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, the time required to produce 0.10 mol of chlorine gas using a current of 3 amperes is Answer: 1. 110 minutes Key idea: 2Cl^-→ Cl₂+2e^- , so 1 mol Cl₂ needs 2 F. Q=0.10×2×96500=19300\ C t=Q/I=19300/3≈6433\ s≈107\ min≈110\ min T... 1
- The van't Hoff factor (i) for a dilute aqueous solution of the strong electrolyte barium hydroxide is Answer: 3. 3 Key idea: i equals the number of ions per formula unit on complete dissociation. mathrmBa(OH)₂→ Ba²⁺+2OH^- This gives 3 ions, s... 1
