  • D
    All of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$ \mathrm{NaHCO}_3 $
Both $\text{HCHO}$ and $\text{HCOOH}$ react with $\ce{AgNO_3​/NH_4​OH}$
$\ce{CuSO_4​/NaOH}$ solution. But $\ce{HCOOH}$ gives effervescences of $\ce{CO_2}$​ when reacts with $\ce{NaHCO_3}$​, whereas $\ce{HCHO}$ does not give any effervescence of $\ce{CO_2}$​ when reacts with $\ce{NaHCO_3}$​.
$\ce{HCOOH + NaHCO_3 \rightarrow HCOONa + H_2​O + CO_2 \uparrow}$

    $\text{CaO}$ to convert it into $\text{CO}$ which burns with a blue flame.
  • $\text{CuO}$ to convert it into $\mathrm{CO}_2$ which turns lime water milky.
  • D
    $\text{Cu}$ wire to give a bluish $-$ green flame.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\text{CuO}$ to convert it into $\mathrm{CO}_2$ which turns lime water milky.
The given organic compound is mixed with dry copper oxide $\text{(CuO)}$ and heated in a hard glass tube. The products of the reaction are passed over $($white$)$ anhydrous copper sulphate and then bubbled through lime water.
If copper sulphate turns blue due to the formation of $\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
$($by water vapor$)$ then the compound contains hydrogen. If lime water is turned milky by $\mathrm{CO}_2$, then the compound contains carbon.

Compounds with same functional group substitutes for hydrogen in a carbon chain.
A homologous series is a series of compounds with the same general formula.
But they have different melting points $($physical properties$)$ and different molecular masses.
However, they have the same functional group substitutes for hydrogen in a carbon chain.

Identify the correct statement.
  • A
    Reaction mechanisms are studied using isotopic labelling.
  • B
    Isolation of reactive intermediates is a method to establish reaction mechanism.
  • Both $a$ and $b$ are correct.
  • D
    Neither $a$ nor $b$ is correct.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Both $a$ and $b$ are correct.
Both $a$ and $b$ are correct.
  1. Reaction mechanisms are studied using isotopic labeling. One of the atoms of one reactant/ reagent is replaced with its isotope. Then, the product in which this labelled atom is present is determined. From this information, we can decide which atom of reactant goes to which product.
$\ce{CH_3​−CO−O*H + CH_3​−OH \xrightarrow{\text{H}^+} ​CH_3​−COO−CH_3​ + H_2O}*$​
In the above reaction, O atom of $−\ce{OH}$ group of acetic acid is labelled. It is then observed that labelled $O$ atom is found in water. Hence, we can conclude that
$−\ce{OH}$ group of acetic acid combines with $H$ atom of methanol.
  1. Isolation of reactive intermediates is a method to establish reaction mechanism.
Consider the conversion $A \rightarrow D.$
It can proceed through following two different mechanisms.
$A \rightarrow B \rightarrow D.$
$A \rightarrow C \rightarrow D.$
Suppose that we are able to isolate intermediate $B$ but we cannot isolate intermediate $C$.
​​​​​​​Hence, we can say that the reaction mechanism is $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow D.$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$\text{IV < III < II < I}$
Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged carbon atom, the greater is the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilisation of the cation.
Thus, we have the following relative stability of carbocation :

They have similar chemical properties as they have a common functional group.
They can be represented by a general formula for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and other functional groups.
However, as the molecular mass increases in a homologous series, a gradation in physical properties is observed. So, they do not have identical physical properties.

Given mass of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ = 0.198g and mass of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}$ = 0.1014g
As we know % of $\text{C} = \frac{12}{44} \times\frac{\text{m}_{\text{CO}_{2}}}{\text{w}}\times 100$
Percentage of carbon $= \frac{12 \times 0.198\times 100}{44 \times 0.246} = 21.95\%$
Also, $\% \text{ of H} = \frac{2}{18} \times \frac{\text{m}_{\text{H}_{2}\text{O}}}{\text{w}}\times 100$

Answer
Correct option: D.
The stabilsation of carboxylate ion depends on dispersal of negative charge. The negative charge is dispersed by two factors, i.e., $+ R$ effect of the carboxylate ion and Inductive effect of the halogens. In all the above structures, $R$ effect is common but halogen atoms are different. Therefore, dispersal of negative charge depends upon halogen atoms. $F$ is most electronegative, in structure $(iv)$ two Fatoms are present and more dispersal of negative charge is there.

Hyper conjugation occurs in :
  • $\text{III}$
  • B
    $\text{I}$ and $\text{III}$
  • C
    $\text{I}$
  • D
    $\text{II}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{III}$
Because it has $'H\ '$ in conjugation with free radical.
OR
Hyperconjugation occurs through the $H-$ atoms present on the carbon atom next to the double bond i.e alpha hydrogen atoms. There is no alpha $-H$ in the structure $\text{I}$ and $\text{II}.$
So, hyperconjugation occurs in structure $\text{III}$ only ie.

In presence of $\ce{HCl(aq.);H_2​S}$ gas results the precipitation of group $-2$ cations but not of group $-4$ cations during qualitative analysis. It is due to :
  • A
    Lower concentration of $\mathrm{S}^{2-}$
  • Higher concentration of $\mathrm{S}^{2-}$
  • C
    Lower concentration of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$
  • D
    Higher concentration of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
Higher concentration of $\mathrm{S}^{2-}$
Due to common ion effect, the ionisation of $\ce{H_2S}$ is suppressed and at low concentration of $S^{2-}$ ions, the second group sulphides are precipitated.

The fragrance of flowers is due to the presence of some steam volatile organic compounds called essential oils. These are generally insoluble in water at room temperature but are miscible with water vapour in vapour phase. A suitable method for the extraction of these oils from the flowers is :
  • A
    Distillation.
  • B
    Crystallisation.
  • C
    Distillation under reduced pressure.
  • Steam distillation.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Steam distillation.
Essential oils are insoluble in water, soluble in steam and have high vapour pressure.
Therefore, they can be separated by steam distillation.

Electrophilic addition reactions proceed in two steps. The first step involves the addition of an electrophile. Name the type of intermediate formed in the first step of the following addition reaction. $\text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{H}\text{C}=\text{CH}_2+\text{H}^+\rightarrow?$
  • A
    $2^\circ$ Carbanion
  • B
    $1^\circ $ Carbocation
  • $2^\circ $ Carbocation
  • D
    $1^\circ $ Carbanion
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2^\circ $ Carbocation
When the electrophile attacks $\ce{CH_3 – CH = CH_2}$, delocalisation of electrons can take place in two possible ways

As $2^\circ $ carbocation is more stable than $1^\circ $ carbocation, the first addition is more feasible.
