Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Amines are produced when an alcoholic solution of ammonia and an alkyl or a benzyl halide is heated in a sealed tube at 373K. This reaction is called ammonolysis and usually gives a mixture of primary, secondary and tertiary amines along with some quarternary ammonium salts. This reaction is an example of nucleophilic substitution reaction in which ammonia acts as a nucleophile due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. However this method cannot be used for the preparation of aryl amines. One of the most convenient methods for the preparation of aryl amines is reduction of nitro compounds. Aryl amines can also be prepared by reduction of nitrites or Gabriel phthalimide synthesis. A statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  2. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  3. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
  4. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
  1. Assertion: Ammonolysis of alkyl halides only produces 2° amines.
Reason: Ammonolysis of alkyl halides involves the reaction between alkyl halides and alcoholic ammonia.
  1. Assertion: Gabriel-phthalimide reaction can be used to prepare both aryl and alkyl primary amines.
Reason: Aryl halides are more reactive alkyl halides towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.
  1. Assertion: Anunonolysis method cannot be used for the preparation of aryl amines.
Reason: Aryl halides are much less reactive than alkyl halides towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
  1. Assertion: Ammonolysis can be used to prepare pure primary amines.
Reason: Ammonolysis of haloalkanes lead to multiple ammonium salts.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
When haloalkanes with $\beta-$hydrogen atom are boiled with alcoholic solution of $\text{KOH}$, they undergo elimination of hydrogen halide resulting in the formation of alkenes. These reactions are called $\beta-$elimination reactions or dehydrohalogenation reactions. These reactions follow Saytzeff's rule. Substitution and elimination reactions often compete with each other. Mostly bases behave as nucleophiles and therefore can engage in substitution or elimination reactions depending upon the alkyl halide and the reaction conditions.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The solubility of gases increases with increase of pressure. William Henry made a systematic investigation of the solubility of a gas in a liquid. According to Henry's law "the mass of a gas dissolved per unit volume of the solvent at constant temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the solution". Dalton during the same period also concluded independently that the solubility of a gas in a ti quid solution depends upon the partial pressure of the gas. If we use the mole fraction of gas in the solution as a measure of its solubility, then Henry's law can be modified as "the partial pressure of the gas in the vapour phase is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution"

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The amines are basic in nature due to the presence of a lone pair of electron on $N-$atom of the $-NH_2$ group, which it can donate to electron deficient compounds. Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than $NH_3$ because of the $+I$ effect of the alkyl groups. Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to $N-$atom, higher is the electron density on it and more will be the basicity. Thus, the order of basic nature of amines is expected to be $3^\circ > 2^\circ > 1^\circ ,$ however the observed order is $2^\circ > 1^\circ > 3^\circ .$ This is explained on the basis of crowding on $N-$atom of the amine by alkyl groups which hinders the approach and bonding by a proton, consequently, the electron pair which is present on $N$ is unavailable for donation and hence $3^\circ$ amines are the weakest bases.
Aromatic amines are weaker bases than ammonia and aliphatic amines. Electron-donating groups such as $-\ce{CH_3, -OCH_3,}$ etc. increase the basicity while electron-withdrawing substitutes such as $\ce{-NO_2, -CN,}$ halogens, etc. decrease the basicity of amines. The effect of these substituents is more at $p$ than at $m-$positions.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types; substitution nucleophilic bimolecular $(S_N2)$ and substitution nucleophilic unimolecular $(S_N1)$ depending on molecules taking part in determining the rate of reaction. Reactivity of alkyl halide towards $S_N1$ and $S_N2$ reactions depends on various factors such as steric hindrance, stability of intermediate or transition state, and polarity of solvent. $S_N2$ reaction mechanism is favoured mostly by primary alkyl halide then secondary and then tertiary.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes. The low reactivity of haloarenes can be attributed to:
  • Resonance effect.
  • $sp^2$ hybridisation of $C - X$ bond.
  • Polarity of $C - X$ bond
  • Instability of phenyl cation $($formed by self$-$ionisation of haloarene$).$
  • Repulsion between the electron rich attacking nucleophiles and electron rich arenes.
Reactivity of haloarenes can be increased or decreased by the presence of certain groups at certain positions for example, nitro $(-NO_{^2})$ group at o/ p positions increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilc substitution reactions.

The potential of each electrode is known as electrode potential. Standard electrode potential is the potential when concentration of each species taking part in electrode reaction is unity and the reaction is taking place at $298K$. By convention, the standard electrode potential of hydrogen $\text{(SHE)}$ is $0.0V$. The electrode potential value for each electrode process is a measure of relative tendency of the active species in the process to remain in the oxidised/ reduced form. The negative electrode potential means that the redox couple is stronger reducing agent than $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. A positive electrode potential means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. Metals which have higher positive value of standard reduction potential form the oxides of greater thermal stability. In these questions $(Q$.

Reason : The electrode potential values are generally determined with respect to $\text{SHE}$.
For a first order reaction$, A \rightarrow$ Products$, \text{k}=\frac{2.303}{\text{t}}\log\frac{\text{a}}{\text{a}-\text{x}},$ where a is the initial concentration of $A$ and $(a - x)$ is the concentration of $A$ after time $t. k$ is rate constant.
