MCQ
Which one does not give cannizzaro's reaction
  • A
    Benzaldehyde
  • $2-$methyl propanal
  • C
    $p-$methoxy benzaldehyde
  • D
    $2,2$ dimethyl propanal

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2-$methyl propanal
b
(b) Aldehyde, which does not have the $\alpha - H$ atom, gives cannizzaro's reaction on heating with conc. alkali solution $(50\%)$

$\mathop {{C_6}{H_5}CHO}\limits_{\alpha  - H{\text{ atom absent}}} $

$\mathop {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\,\,\,\,\,C{H_3}} \\ 
  {\alpha |\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
  {C{H_3} - CHCHO} 
\end{array}}\limits_{\alpha \, - \,H\, - \,atom} $ 

$\mathop {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  \,\,\,\,\,{C{H_3}} \\ 
  \,\,\,\,\,{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} 
\end{array}} \\ 
  {C{H_3} - C - CHO} \\ 
  \,\,\,\,{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ 
\,\,\,\, \,\, {C{H_3}\,\,} 
\end{array}}\limits_{\alpha  - H{\text{  -  atom absent}}} $

$\mathop {HCHO}\limits_{\alpha  - H - {\text{atom absent}}} $

A ball is thrown from ground at an angle $\theta$ with horizontal and with an initial speed $u_0$. For the resulting projectile motion, the magnitude of average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is $V _1$. After hitting the ground, ball rebounds at the same angle $\theta$ but with a reduced speed of $u_0 / \alpha$. Its motion continues for a long time as shown in figure. If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is $0.8 V _1$, the value of $\alpha$ is. . . . . .

In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of emf $1.20\, V$ gives a balance point at $36\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of emf $1.80\, V$. The difference in balancing length of potentiometer wire in above conditions will be $....cm$.
A ball of mass $10\, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} m / s$ along the $x-$axis, hits another ball of mass $20\, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision, first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One piece starts moving along $y-$axis with a speed of $10$ $m / s$. The second piece starts moving at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the $x-$axis. The velocity of the ball moving at $30^{\circ}$ with $x-$ axis is $x\, m / s$. The configuration of pieces after collision is shown in the figure below. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is
