MCQ 21 Mark
HCHO and HCOOH are detected by:
  • A
    NaHCO3​
  • B
    CuSO4​/NaOH
  • C
    AgNO3​/NH4​OH
  • D
    All of these
Answer
  1. NaHCO3

Explanation:

Both HCHO and HCOOH react with AgNO3​/NH4​OH

CuSO4​/NaOH solution. But HCOOH gives effervescences of CO2​ when reacts with NaHCO3​, whereas HCHO does not give any effervescence of CO2​ when reacts with NaHCO3​.

HCOOH + NaHCO$\rightarrow$ HCOONa + H2​O + CO$\uparrow$

In homlogous series, successive members differ by:
  • A
    CH3​−
  • B
    CH3​−CH2​−
  • C
    −CH2​
  • D

Answer
  1. −CH2​−

Explanation:

A homologous series is a series of compounds in which each member differs from the next/previous by −CH2​− or 14 mass units.

Physical properties change in members of homologous series but chemical properties remain almost the same because the functional group remains the same.

Question 61 Mark
On complete combustion, 0.246g of an organic compound gave 0.198g of carbon dioxide and 0.1014g of water. The percentage composition of carbon and hydrogen in the compound respectively are:
 
%C
(a)
21.95
4.58
(b)
21.95
5.58
(c)
11.95
5.58
(d)
11.95
4.58
Answer
 
%C
(a)
21.95
4.58

Explanation:

Given mass of CO2 = 0.198g and mass of H2O = 0.1014g

As we know % of $\text{C} = \frac{12}{44} \times\frac{\text{m}_{\text{CO}_{2}}}{\text{w}}\times 100$

Percentage of carbon $= \frac{12 \times 0.198\times 100}{44 \times 0.246} = 21.95\%$

Also, $\% \text{ of H} = \frac{2}{18} \times \frac{\text{m}_{\text{H}_{2}\text{O}}}{\text{w}}\times 100$

Percentage of hydrogen $= \frac{2\times 0.1014 \times100}{18 \times 0.246}= 4.58\%$

MCQ 101 Mark
Ionic species are stabilised by the dispersal of charge. Which of the following carboxylate ion is the most stable?
  • A
    $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ||\\\text{CH}_3-\text{C}-\text{O}^-$
  • B
    $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ||\\\text{CI}-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}-\text{O}^-$
  • C

  • D
     

Answer
  1.  

Explanation:

The stabilsation of carboxylate ion depends on dispersal of negative charge. The negative charge is dispersed by two factors, i.e., + R effect of the carboxylate ion and Inductive effect of the halogens. In all the above structures, R effect is common but halogen atoms are different. Therefore, dispersal of negative charge depends upon halogen atoms. F is most electronegative, in structure (iv) two Fatoms are present and more dispersal of negative charge is there.

  • A
    −NH2​
  • B
    −N(CH3​)2​
  • C
    −NHCH3

        Which is not the characteristic of $\pi$−bond?
        • A
          $\pi$ bond is formed when a sigma bond already exists.
        • B
          $\pi$ bonds are formed from hybrid orbitals.
        • C
          $\pi$ bond may be formed by the overlapping of p orbitals.

          $\pi$ bond results from lateral overlap of atomic orbitals.
        Answer
        1. $\pi$ bonds are formed from hybrid orbitals.

        Explanation:

        $\pi$ bond is formed between two atoms if a sigma bond already exists between them.

        $\pi$ bonds are formed only by pure orbitals (p−orbitals), not from hybrid orbitals.

        They formed by lateral or sideways overlapping.

        Explanation:

        Distillation under reduced pressure method is used to purify liquids having very high boiling points and those, which decompose at or below their boiling points. Such liquids are made to boil at a temperature lower than their normal boiling points by reducing the pressure on their surface. A liquid boils at a temperature at which its vapour pressure is equal to the external pressure. The pressure is reduced with the help of a water pump or vacuum pump.

        • D
          None of the above
        Answer
        1. Phenolphthalein

        Explanation:

        An indicator is a chemical substance that undergoes a colour change at the endpoint. The endpoint of an acid-base titration can be determined using acid-base indicators.

        Acid Base indicators are either weak organic acids or weak organic bases. The colour change of an indicator depends on the pH of the medium.

        The un-ionized form of an indicator has one colour, but its ionized form has a different colour.

        Phenolphthalein is used to find the strength of caustic soda solution with the help of oxalic acid.

                Butanal
              Answer
              1. Butanal

              Explanation:

              To show inductive effect compound must contain electronegative element/eletropositive element attatched to C-atom.

              So that movement of electrons away from chain/towards chain would occur. This is possible only in case of Butanal among given options.

              Answer
              1. 14 units

              Explanation:

              A series of organic compounds with the same general formula but differ from adjacent members by "−CH2​−" group are referred to as homologous series of compounds. Successive members of homologous series differ from one another in their mass by 14 units.

              For example: CH4​ and C2​H6​ are homologous series. Its molar mass is 16 and 30gm/mole respectively.

              Hence, it is differed by unit 14.

              Electronegativity of carbon atoms depends upon their state of hybridisation. In which of the following compounds, the carbon marked with asterisk is most electronegative?
              • A
                CH3 – CH2 – *CH2 –CH3
              • B
                CH3 – *CH = CH – CH3
              • C
                CH3 – CH2 – C ≡ *CH
              • D
                CH3 – CH2 – CH = *CH2
              Answer
              1. CH3 – CH2 – C ≡ *CH

              Explanation:

              Electronegativity increases as the state of hybridization changes from sp3 to spand sp2 to sp. Thus, sp hybridized carbon has the highest electronegativity.

              Answer
              1. By sideways overlapping of half filled p - orbitals.

              Explanation:

              If a bond between two atoms is broken when one atom is rotated around the bond axis, that bond is called a pi bond.

              Pi bonds are formed by the sideways overlap of parallel half filled p−orbitals on adjacent atoms as shown in the figure.

              They are not formed from hybrid orbitals.
