Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding, the boiling points of alcohols and phenols are much higher than those of corresponding haloalkanes, haloarenes, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Among isomeric alcohols, the boiling points follow the order: primary > secondary > tertiary. Boiling points of ethers are much lower than those of isomeric alcohols. The solubility of alcohols in water decreases as the molecular mass of alcohols increases. Amongst isomeric alcohols solubility increases with branching. The solubility of phenols in water is much lower than that of alcohols. Lower ethers such as dimethyl ether and ethyl methyl ether are soluble in water, but the solubility decreases as the molecular mass increases.

In these questions (Q. No. i-iv), 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: Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers of comparable molecular masses.

Reason: Alcohols and ethers are isomeric in nature.

  1. Assertion: The solubility of phenols in water is much lower than that of alcohols.

Reason: Phenols do not form H-bonds with water.

  1. Assertion: Among n-butane, ethoxyethane, 1-propanol and 2-propanol, the increasing order of boiling points is, 1-butanol < 1-propanol < ethoxyethane < n-butane.

Reason: Boiling point increases with increase in molecular mass.

  1. Assertion: Dimethyl ether and diethylether are soluble in water.

Reason: As the molecular mass increases, solubility of ethers in water decreases.

  1. Assertion: Butan-2-ol has higher boiling point than 2-methylpropan-2-ol.

Reason: Amongst isomeric alcohols, the boiling points decreases with branching.

Answer

  1. (b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

Explanation:

Due to the presence of intermolecular H-bondi ng in alcohols, they have higher boiling points than isomeric ethers.

  1. (c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

​​​​​​​Explanation:

Like alcohols, phenols also form H-bond with water. But the solubility of phenols in water is much lower than that of alcohols because of the larger non-polar hydrocarbon part (benzene ring) present in their molecules.

  1. (d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Boiling point increases with increase in molecular mass so, 1-butanol has higher boiling point than 1-propanol. Ethers do not form hydrogen bonds thus, they have lower boiling points than the corresponding alcohols.

Due to weak dipole-dipole interactions, the boiling points of lower ethers are only slightly higher than those of the n-alkanes having comparable molecular masses,

Thus, the increasing order of boiling points is n-butane < ethoxyethane < 1-propanol < l-butanol.

  1. (b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

The solubility of lower ethers in water is due to the formation of H-bonds between water and ether molecules. As the molecular mass increases, the solubility of ethers in water decreases due to corresponding increase in the hydrocarbon portion of the molecule.

  1. (a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Amongst isomeric alcohols,the boiling points decrease with branching due to a corresponding decrease in surface area.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Arrangement of ligands in order of their ability to cause splitting $(\Delta)$ is called spectrochemical series. Ligands which cause large splitting (large $\Delta$) are called strong field ligands while those which cause small splitting (small $\Delta$) are called weak field ligands. When strong field ligands approach metal atom/ ion, the value of $\Delta_0$ is large, so that electrons are forced to get paired up in lower energy t2g orbitals. Hence, a low-spin complex is resulted from strong field ligand. When weak field ligands approach metal atom/ ion, the value of $\Delta_0$ is small, so that electrons enter high energy eg orbitals rather than pairing in low energy t2g orbitals. Hence, a high-spin complex is resulted from weak field ligands. Strong field ligands have tendency to form inner orbital complexes by forcing the electrons to pair up. Whereas weak field ligands have tendency to form outer orbital complex because inner electrons generally do not pair up.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

The order of reactivity towards SN1 reaction depends upon the stability of carbocation in the first step. Greater the stability of the carbocation, greater will be its ease of formation from alkyl halide and hence faster will be the rate of the reaction. As we know, 3º carbocation is most stable, therefore, the tert-alkyl that halides will undergo SN1 reaction very fast. For example, it has been observed that the reaction (CH3)3CBr with OH- ion to give 2-methyl-2-propanol is about I million times as fast as the corresponding reaction of the methyl bromide to give methanol.

The primary alkyl halides always react predominantly by SN2 mechanism. On the other hand, the tertiary alkyl halides react predominantly by SN1 mechanism. Secondary alkyl halides may react by either mechanism or by both the mechanisms without much preference depending upon the nature of the nucleophile and solvent.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

When a solution of an et-amino acid is placed in an electric field depending on the pH of the medium, following three cases may happen.

  1. In alkaline solution, CL-amino acids exist as anion II, and there is a net migration of amino acid towards the anode.
  2. In acidic solution, a-amino acids exist as cation III, and there is a net migration of amino acid towards the cathode.
  3. If II and III are exactly balanced there is no net migration; under such conditions any one molecule exists as a positive ion and as a negative ion for exactly the same amount of time, and any small movement in the direction of one electrode is subsequently cancelled by an equal movement back toward the other electrode. The pH of the solution in which a particular amino acid does not migrate under the influence of an electric field is called the is oelectric point of that amino acid.

Williamson's synthesis is used for the preparation of symmetrical as well as unsymmerical ether. It is SN2 reaction mechanism. In Williamson's synthesis, 1º alkyl halide are used for preparation of ethers because 2º and 3º alkyl halide give alkene. Ethers are cleaved by hydrogen halides to alcohol and alkyl halide where alkyl halide is corresponding to that alkyl which has less number of carbon atom (it is because of less steric hindrance).

Aldehydes and ketones are reduced to primary and secondary alcohols respectively by NaBH4 or LiAlH4 as well as catalytic hydrogenation. The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is reduced to  group on treatment with Zn-Hg and cone.

If some solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point of solution increases. This is known as elevation in baiting point.

$\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}=\text{K}_\text{b}\text{m}$ where, Kb = Molal elevation constant,

$\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}\propto\text{m}$

In haloalkanes, when a nucleophile stronger than the halide ion approaches the positively charged carbon atom of an alkyl halide, the halogen atom along with its bonding electron pair gets displaced and a new bond with the carbon and the nucleophile is formed. These reactions are called nucleophilic substitution reactions.

In these reactions the atom or group of atoms which loses its bond from carbon and takes on an additional pair of electrons is called leaving group. Halide ions are good leaving groups.
