Question

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Amines are basic in nature. The basic strength of amines can be expressed by their dissociation constant, Kb or pKb.

$\text{RNH}_2+\text{H}_2\text{O}\rightleftharpoons\text{RNH}^+_3+\text{OH}^-$

$\text{k}_\text{b}=\frac{[\text{RNH}^+_3][\text{OH}^-]}{[\text{RNH}_2]}\text{and}\text{ pk}_\text{b}=-\log\text{k}_\text{b}$

Greater the Kb value or smaller the pKb value, more is the basic strength of a mine. Aryl amines such as aniline are less basic than aliphatic amines due to the involvement of lone pair of electrons on N-atom with the resonance in benzene. In derivatives of aniline, the electron releasing groups increase the basic strength while electron withdrawing groups decrease the basic strength. The base weakening effect of electron withdrawing group and base strengthening effect of electron releasing group is more marked at p-position than at m-position. a-Substituted aniline is less basic than aniline due to ortho effect and is probable due to combination of electronic and steric effect.

The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:

  1. Which of the following has lowest pKb value?

  1. The strongest base among the following is:

  1. C6H5NH2

  2. p-NO2 - C6H4NH2

  1. Maximum pKb value of:
  1.  

  1.  

  1. (CH3CH2)2NH

  1. Methylamine is more basic than NH3.
  2. Amines form hydrogen bonds.
  3. Ethylamine has higher boiling point than propane.
  4. Dimethylamine is less basic than methylamine.
  1. CH3CH2NH2 contains a basic -NH2 group, but CH3CONH2 does not because:
  1. Acetamide is amphoteric in character.
  2. In ethylamine the electron pair on N-atom is delocalised by resonance.
  3. In ethylamine there is no resonance while in acetamide the lone pair of electrons on N-atom is delocalised and is less available for protonation.
  4. None of these.

When haloalkanes with $\beta-$hydrogen atom are boiled with alcoholic solution of 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.

When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical changes like change in temperature or chemical changes like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed. Due to this, globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is called denaturation of protein.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

When a chemical reaction involves bond cleavage or bond formation at an asymmetric carbon atom, three different products may be formed. For example, during the substitution of a group X by Y in the following reaction, the three possible products may be shown below:

  1. If Bis the only product, the process is called retention of configuration because B has the same configuration as the starting reactant (A).
  2. If C is the only product, the process is called inversion of configuration because C has the configuration opposite to the starting reactant (A).
  3. If an equimolar mixture of Band C (r.e., a 50 : 50 mixture) is fanned, then the process is called racemisation and the product is optically inactive because one isomer will rotate the light in the direction opposite to another.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

For understanding the structure and bonding in transition metal complexes, the magnetic properties are very helpful. Low spin complexes are generally diamagnetic because of pairing of electrons, whereas high spin complexes are usually paramagnetic because of presence of unpaired electrons. Larger the number of unpaired electrons, stronger will be the paramagnetism. However magnetic behaviour of a complex can be confirmed from magnetic moment measurement. Magnetic moment $\mu=\sqrt{\text{n(n+2)}}\text{B.M.}$ where n = number of unpaired electrons. Greater the number of unpaired electrons, more will be the magnetic moment.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

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,

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

Hence, it is a colligative property,

where, M = Molar mass of solvent,

$\Delta\text{vap}$ H = Enthalpy of vaporisation,

Molar mass can also be calculated using elevation in boiling point.
