Question:1

Arrange the following in decreasing order of their boiling points.
(A) n–butane
(B) 2–methylbutane
(C) n-pentane
(D) 2,2–dimethylpropane
(i) A > B > C > D
(ii) B > C > D > A
(iii) D > C > B > A
(iv) C > B > D > A
Answer:

The answer is the option (iv) C > B > D > A
Explanation: We know that Boiling point α molar mass & Boiling point is α surface area.
It means that the boiling point will decrease on branching (surface area decreases on branching). Therefore, the highest boiling point is that of n-pentane and the lowest is of n-butane. The other two options have branches; therefore, 2-methyl butane has a higher boiling point than 2,2-dimethyl propane.

Question:2

Arrange the halogens , in order of their increasing reactivity with alkanes.




Answer:

The answer is the option
Explanation: Since electronegativity of halogens decreases down the group, Fluorine is the most electronegative. As electronegativity of Fluorine decreases their reactivity with alkanes also decreases. Thus, is highly reactive, whereas is the least reactive.

Question:3

The increasing order of reduction of alkyl halides with zinc and dilute HCl is
(i) R–Cl < R–I < R–Br
(ii) R–Cl < R–Br < R–I
(iii) R–I < R–Br < R–Cl
(iv) R–Br < R–I < R–Cl
Answer:

The answer is the option (ii) R-Cl < R-Br < R-I
Explanation: We know that reactivity of halogen decreases down the group; therefore, reduction of alkyl halides with Zn/HCl follow reverse order.
Reactivity of reduction 1bond strength of C-X

It also depends on the size of the halogen. Therefore, we can say that to increase the reactivity; the bond strength must be reduced.

Question:4

The correct IUPAC name of the following alkane is

(i) 3,6 – Diethyl – 2 – methyloctane
(ii) 5 – Isopropyl – 3 – ethyloctane
(iii) 3 – Ethyl – 5 – isopropyloctane
(iv) 3 – Isopropyl – 6 – ethyloctane

Answer:

The answer is the option (i) 3,6-Diethyl-2-methyloctane
Explanation: Since the alkane has 8 carbon atoms, it is octane, viz., the longest chain. There is a methyl group on carbon 2, ethyl groups on carbon 3 & 6. Since 2 ethyl groups are present, it will be diethyl, and alphabetically it comes before methyl. The lowest sum rule is followed by side chains present on the carbon atoms 2, 3 & 6. Hence, the option (i).

The mixture consists of
(i) A and B as major and C as minor products
(ii) B as major, A and C as minor products
(iii) B as minor, A and C as major products
(iv) A and B as minor and C as major products
Answer:

The answer is the option (i) A and B as major and C as minor products.
Explanation: According to Markovnikov’s rule, the major product is 2-Bromobutane, and the minor product is I-Bromobutane. Butane-1 is unsymmetrical. 2-Bromobutane has chiral carbon and hence exists in two enantiomers.
Thus, it is clear that the major products are A & B while the minor product is C.

Question:6

Which of the following will not show geometrical isomerism ?






Answer:

The answer is the option
Explanation: Alkenes show geometrical isomerism where the double-bonded carbons must have different atoms or groups.

Question:20

Why do alkenes prefer to undergo electrophilic addition reaction while arenes prefer electrophilic substitution reactions? Explain.
Answer:

Both Alkenes and arenes are unsaturated and electron rich. In order to give a highly stable and saturated product, Alkenes undergo addition reaction to give more stable saturated product. Under this reaction hybridization transforms from sp² to sp³.
Arenes are stabilized by resonance with delocalization of π electrons. On addition reaction to the double bond of arene, a product is obtained which is not resonance stabilized whereas on substitution the resonance stability of arene is maintained. Thus, arenes prefer to undergo substitution reaction while alkenes prefer to undergo addition reaction.

Question:21

Alkynes on reduction with sodium in liquid ammonia form trans alkenes. Will the butene thus formed on reduction of 2-butyne show the geometrical isomerism?
Answer:

Butene-2, where either both the methyl groups are on the same side or opposite side to show geometrical isomers, is formed on the reduction of 2-Butyne.

Question:22

Rotation around carbon-carbon single bond of ethane is not completely free. Justify the statement.
Answer:

(i)Alkanes have carbon-carbon sigma bond where the distribution of electron of sigma molecular orbit is symmetrical around the internuclear axis of C-C bond, viz., not distributed due to rotation about its axis.
(ii) Hence, C-C single bond is permitted for free rotation which results in different spatial arrangements of atoms in space which can change into one another.
Such spatial arrangements of atoms are called conformations or rotamers or conformers.
(iii) Due to rotation around C-C bonds alkenes have infinite no. of conformations. However, rotation around C-C single bond is not completely free and is hindered by small energy barrier of1-20 kJ mol^-1 because of weak repulsive interaction between adjacent bonds. It is called a torsional strain.

Question:23

Draw Newman and Sawhorse projections for the eclipsed and staggered conformations of ethane. Which of these conformations is more stable and why?
Answer:

(i) Sawhorse projections of ethane


(ii) Newman projections of ethane


Stability of conformation:
(i) There are minimum repulsive forces, minimum energy and maximum stability in the staggered form of ethane. Here, the electrons clouds of carbon-hydrogen bonds are as far as possible.
(ii) the electron clouds come closer when the staggered form changes to the eclipsed form. It results in increased electron cloud repulsions. Here, molecules will have more energy and lesser stability.
Therefore, the staggered form is more stable.

Question:24

Answer:

(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Since the H-Cl bond is stronger than H-Br bond, peroxide effect is observed only in the case of HBr. It is not observed in the case of HI as well.
H-Br has lesser bond energy than H-Cl; thus, H-Cl bond is not cleaved by the free radical, whereas the H-I bond is weaker and iodine free radicals combine to form dimer iodine molecules.
