MCQ 11 Mark
Out of the following, the strongest base in aqueous solution is
  • Trimethylamine
  • B
    Dimethylamine
  • C
    Methylamine
  • D
    Aniline
Answer
Correct option: A.
Trimethylamine
$\ce{NH_3} <$ primary amine $<$ tertiary amine $<$ secondary amine
This is because:
$i.$ Steric hindrance
The size of an alkyl group is more than that of a hydrogen atom. So, an alkyl group would hinder the attack of a hydrogen atom, thus decreasing the basicity of the molecule. So, the more the number of alkyl groups attached, lesser will be its basicity.
$ii.$ Solvation of ions
When amines are dissolved in water, they form protonated amines. Also, the number of possibilities for hydrogen bonding also increases. More the number of hydrogen bonding more is the hydration that is released in the process of the formation of hydrogen bonds.

MCQ 61 Mark
Which of the following alkyl halides will undergo $S_N1$ reaction most readily?
  • $(CH_3)_3C-I$
  • B
    $(CH3)3C-F$
  • C
    $(CH_3)_3C-Br$
  • D
    $(CH_3)_3C-Cl$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(CH_3)_3C-I$
$S_N1$ reactions are generally carried out mainly in polar protic solvents $($like $H_2O)$ and they follow first$-$order kinetics. This means that the rate of reaction depends only on one reactant. This reaction favours tertiary alkyl halides because of the high stability of the formed carbocation. The carbocation forms when the molecule is polarized in water to form a carbocation and halide ion attacked by the nucleophile. The reactivity of the halides are $R-I> R-Br>R-CI>>R-F.$ Hence, $(CH_3)_3C-I$ will undergo the reaction most readily.

MCQ 81 Mark
The rate of reaction A + B → Products, is given by the equation r = k[A] [B]. If B is taken in large excess, the order of reaction would be:
  • A
    Cannot be predicted
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    2
  • 1
Answer
Correct option: D.
1
(d) 1
Explanation: r=k[A][B]
Since [B] is in large excess, so its concentration does not change. So the order of the reaction would be 1.

MCQ 91 Mark
A mixture of benzaldehyde and formaldehyde on heating with aqueous NaOH solution gives:
  • A
    Benzyl alcohol and methyl alcohol
  • Benzyl alcohol and sodium formate
  • C
    Sodium benzoate and methyl alcohol
  • D
    Sodium benzoate and sodium formate
Answer
Correct option: B.
Benzyl alcohol and sodium formate
(b) Benzyl alcohol and sodium formate
Explanation: They will undergo Cannizzaro reaction as neither benzaldehyde nor formaldehyde has alpha hydrogen. HCHO will be more reactive towards Cannizzaro compared to benzaldehyde because of less steric hindrance. So, OH nucleophile will attack HCHO first, and then the hydride shift from HCHO to benzaldehyde will occur and thus HCHO will oxidize to HCOO ion and benzaldehyde will reduce to benzyl alcohol.

MCQ 121 Mark
The best method for the conversion of an alcohol into an alkyl chloride is by treating the alcohol with:
  • $SOCl_2$ in presence of pyridine
  • B
    $PCl_3$
  • C
    Dry $HCl$ in the presence of anhydrous $ZnCl_2$
  • D
    $PCl_5$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$SOCl_2$ in presence of pyridine
The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is replaced by halogen on reaction with concentrated halogen acids, phosphorus halides, or thionyl chloride. Thionyl chloride $(SOCl_2)$ is preferred because the other two products $SO_2$ and $HCl$ are escapable gases. Hence, the reaction gives pure alkyl halides. $ROH + SOCI_2 \rightarrow RCI + SO_2 (g) + HCl (g)$
