(d) But-3-yn-1-ol or But-4-ol-1-yne .

Answer:

(a) The prefix di in the IUPAC nomenclature is indicating two identical substituent group in the parent chain. Since two methyl group present at C_2 of the parent chain. So, the correct IUPAC name is 2, 2-dimethylpentane.

(b) In IUPAC nomenclature the sum of locant number should be minimum. Here the sum of 2,4,7 (=13)is less than the sum of 2, 5, 7 (=14). Thus the correct IUPAC name is 2,4,7- Trimethyloctane

(c) In IUPAC nomenclature, if the substituent group acquires the equivalent position of the parent chain then the lower number is given to one that comes first in alphabetical order. Hence 2-Chloro-4-methyl pentane is the correct IUPAC name of the compound.

(d) If the two functional groups are present in the parent chain then the suffix of the IUPAC name depends on the principal functional group. Here alcohol is the principal function group so the suffix should be -ol and alkyne group considered as a substituent group. Therefore the correct IUPAC name of the compound is But-3-yn-1-ol.

  2. C=C double bond

Q 12.9 Which of the two: O_{2}NCH_{2}CH_{2}O^{-} or CH_{2}CH_{2}O^{-} is expected to be more stable and why ?

Answer:

Since Nitro group is an electron withdrawing group. So, it shows -I effect, By reducing the electron negative charge of the compound, it stabilises the compound. On the other hand, the methyl group is an electron donor group so it shows +I effect. This increases the negative charge on the compound and destabilises the compound.

Hence O_{2}NCH_{2}CH_{2}O^{-} is more stable than the CH_{2}CH_{2}O^{-} .

Q 12.10 Explain why alkyl groups act as electron donors when attached to a \pi  system.

Answer:

When an alkyl group is attached to the \pi system, it acts as an electron donor group by the property of hyperconjugation.
for example in propene,
awfdsfa
In figure, you can see that the sigma electrons of C-H bonds of the alkyl group are delocalised because of the partially overlapping of the sp^3-s sigma bond orbital with the empty p orbital of the \pi bond of the adjacent carbon atom. It is also known as no-bond resonance.

Q 12.12 What are electrophiles and nucleophiles ? Explain with examples.

Answer:

Electrophile- It is an electron deficient species, which seeking for an electron pair. This reagent takes away an electron pair. It is denoted as E^{+} . For example, carbocationised CH_{3}CH_{2}^+ neutral molecule having functional groups such as carbonyl group are an example of the electrophile.

A nucleophile is a reagent that brings an electron pair. In other words, it is nucleus- seeking reagent called nucleophile.
For examples- -OH, -NC and carbanions ( R_{3}C^- ) etc. Ammonia and water also act as a nucleophile due to the presence of lone pair of electron.

Q 12.13 Identify the reagents shown in bold in the following equations as nucleophiles or electrophiles:

(a)CH_{3}COOH+HO^{-}\rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-}+H_{2}O

(b) CH_{3}COCH_{3}+CN \rightarrow (CH_{3})_{2}C(CN)(OH)

(c)C_{6}H_{6}+CH_{3}CO\rightarrow C_{6}H_{5}COCH_{3}

Answer:

Electrophiles are electron deficient species and can be seeking for an electron pair. On the other hand, the nucleophile is electron rich reagents and they can electron donor(nucleus seeking).

Therefore,
(a) OH^- have one lone pair of an electron, electron rich species. So, it is a nucleophile

(b) C^-N acts as a nucleus seeking reagent and act as a nucleophile

(c) CH_{3}C^+O , it is an electron deficient species, So, it is electrophile.

Q 12.17. Explain the terms Inductive and Electromeric effects. Which electron displacement effect explains the following correct orders of acidity of the carboxylic acids?

(a) Cl_{3}CCOOH> Cl_{2}C\! H\! \, COOH> ClC\! H_{2}COOH

(b) CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH> (CH_{3})_{2}CHCOOH> (CH_{3})_{3}C.COOH

Answer :

Inductive effect- The permanent displacement of sigma ( \sigma ) electrons along the saturated chain, whenever an electron donating or withdrawing group is present, is known as the inductive effect. It could be +I/-I effect.

Electromeric effect- The complete transfer of the shared pair of \pi -electrons to one of the atoms linked by multiple bonds on the demand of attacking reagent. It is a temporary effect. It may be +E(electrons transferred towards attacking reagent) or -E effect(electron transferring away from the attacking reagent).

(a) The order of acidity can be explained by the negative inductive effect ( -I ). As the no. of chlorine atom increases, the -I effect also increases and so, the acidic strength also increases.
Cl_{3}CCOOH> Cl_{2}C\! H\! \, COOH> ClC\! H_{2}COOH


(b) This can be explained by the +I effect of the alkyl group. As the number of electron donor group increases, +I effect will also increase. With the increases in +I effect, the acidic character decreases accordingly.
CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH> (CH_{3})_{2}CHCOOH> (CH_{3})_{3}C.COOH

Q 12.18 (a) Give a brief description of the principles of the following techniques taking an example in each case.

Crystallisation

Answer:

Crystallisation-
It is one of the most commonly used techniques for the purification of solid organic compounds. Its principle is based on the difference in the solubilities of the compounds and the solvent's impurities. The impure compounds are dissolved in solvent but they are sparingly soluble at room temperature but soluble at the higher temperature. On cooling the compound, the pure compounds get crystallise and removed by filtration.
For example - pure aspirin is obtained by recrystallising crude aspirin. Around 2 - 4 g of crude aspirin is dissolved in 20 mL of ethyl alcohol and the solution is heated for complete dissolution. Then after crystal formation, they can filter out and dried.

Q 12.18 (b) Give a brief description of the principles of the following techniques taking an example in each case.

Distillation

Answer:

Distillation-
This method is used for the purification of liquids from non-volatile impurities. It is based on the fact that fluids of having different boiling points vaporise at different temperatures. The impure liquid is boiled in a flask, and initially, the vapours of lower boiling points component are formed. The vapours are condensed by using a condenser, and the liquid is collected in a receiver.
For example- Organic liquids such as benzene, toluene, xylene etc can be purified by this method.

Q 12.18 (c) Give a brief description of the principles of the following techniques taking an example in each case.

Chromatography

Answer:

Chromatography-
It is one of the extensive methods for the separation and purification of organic compounds. It is based on the difference in the movements of components of mixtures through the stationary phase under the influence of the mobile phase. The stationary phase can be solid or liquid. While the mobile phase is only liquid or gas.
For example- This technique can separate a mixture of blue and red ink.

Q 12.19 Describe the method, which can be used to separate two compounds with different solubilities in a solvent S.

Answer:

Fractional distillation can be used to separate the two compounds with different solubilities in a solvent S. The following steps are carried out in this process-

  1. The powdered mixture is taken in a flask, and the solvent is added into it and stirred simultaneously. We have to prepare a saturated solution and then heat it.
  2. After heating, this hot saturated solution can be filtered with filter paper in a china dish.
  3. Now the solution is allowed to cool. The less soluble compounds crystalise first, and more soluble compounds remain in the solution. After removing these crystals, the latter is concentrated once again. The hot solution is allowed to cool, and then the crystals of the more soluble compound are obtained.
  4. The last step is isolation and drying of crystals from the mother liquor.

Q 12.20 What is the difference between distillation, distillation under reduced pressure and steam distillation ?

Answer:

The difference between distillation, distillation under reduced pressure and steam distillation are-

Distillation
Distillation under reduced pressure
Steam Distillation
1. Used for the purification of the compounds that are non-volatile impurities or liquids, which don't decompose on boiling.

1. Used to purify liquids, which tends to decompose on boiling. Under the condition of reduced pressure.

1.Used to purify the organic compounds, which is steam volatile and immiscible with water.

SImply, to separate the volatile liquids from non-volatile impurities. Or a mixture of liquids having sufficient Boiling point difference.
The liquid will boil at low temperature than its boiling points, therefore, it does not decompose.
The mixture of water and aniline can be separated by this method.

The mixture of petrol and kerosene is separated by this method.
Glycerol is purified by this method.

Q 12.21. Discuss the chemistry of Lassaigne’s test.

Answer:

Lassaigne’s test.-
This test is used to detect the presence of nitrogen, sulphur, halogens and sulphur in organic compounds. These elements are present in the covalent form in an organic compound. So, they are converted into the ionic form by fusing the compound with the sodium metal.
\\Na+C+N\rightarrow NaCN\\ 2Na+S\rightarrow Na_2S\\ Na+X\rightarrow NaX (X = Cl, Br, I)

Cyanide, sulphide or halide of sodium are extracted from the fused mass by boiling it with distilled water. This Is known as sodium extract method or Lassaigne's extract.

Q 12.22(i) Differentiate between the principle of estimation of nitrogen in an organic compound by

Dumas method

Answer:

In the Dumas method, Nitrogen containing organic compound is heated with the copper oxide in carbon dioxide atmosphere, yields free nitrogen in addition to CO_{2} and water.

C_xH_yN_z+(2x+\frac{y}{2})CuO\rightarrow xCO_{2}+\frac{y}{2}H_{2}O+\frac{z}{2}N_2+(2x+\frac{y}{2})Cu
Traces of nitrogen oxides can also be formed in the reaction, which can be reduced to nitrogen by passing the gaseous mixture over the heated copper gauge. The produced mixture of gases is collected over by an aqueous solution of KOH , it absorbs CO_{2} . Nitrogen is collected in the upper part of the graduated tube.

Q 12.22(ii) Differentiate between the principle of estimation of nitrogen in an organic compound by

Kjeldahl’s method.

Answer:

In Kjeldahl’s method, the nitrogen-containing organic compound is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid. Nitrogen is converted into ammonium sulphate. It is then passed into the known volume of sulphuric acid. The amount of ammonia produced can be estimated by the amount of H_{2}SO_{4} consumed in the reaction.
\\O.C+ H_{2SO_{4}}\rightarrow (NH_{4})_2SO_{4}\\ (NH_{4})_2SO_{4} + 2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_{4}+2NH_{3}+2H_{2}O\\ 2NH_{3}+H_{2}SO_{4}\rightarrow (NH_{4})_2SO_{4}
It is done by estimating the amount of unreacted H_{2}SO_{4} left after the absorption of ammonia by titrating it with a standard alkali solution. This method is not applicable for the compound contain nitrogen in -nitro form or nitrogen present in the ring structure.

Q 12.23 Discuss the principle of estimation of halogens, sulphur and phosphorus present in an organic compound.

Answer:

Estimation of halogen is done by Carius method. In this method, a known quantity of organic compound is heated with fuming HNO_{3} (nitric acid) with the presence of silver nitrate, contained in a hard glass tube, known as carius tube. C and H present in the compound are oxidised to carbon dioxide and water. And halogens are into to form AgX and then it is filtered, dried, and weighed.

Let the mass of the organic compound be m gram.
Mass of AgX formed = m_1 gram
1 mol of AgX contains 1 mol of X.
Therefore, Mass of halogen inm1 g of AgX = (Atomic mass of X*m_1 ) / (Molecular mass of AgX )

Thus, % of halogen will be = (Atomic mass of X(m_1\times 100)/ mo l. wt of AgX*(m)

Estimation of sulphur- In this method, Organic compound is heated either fuming nitric acid or sodium peroxide in a hard glass tube called carius tube. Sulphur present in the compound is oxidised to form sulphuric acid. It is precipitated by as barium sulphate by adding barium chloride solution in water. Then ppt is filtered, washed and weighed.

Let the mass of organic compound taken = m g
and the mass of barium sulphate formed = m_1 g

1 mol of BaSO_{4} = 233 g BaSO_{4} = 32 g sulphur

m_1 g BaSO_{4} contains = \frac{32\times m_1}{233} g sulphur
Percentage (%)of sulphur =
\frac{32\times m_1\times 100}{233\times m}

Estimation of phosphorus- In this process, a known mass of an organic compound is heated with fuming nitric acid and the phosphorus gets oxidised to phosphoric acid. By adding ammonia and ammonium molybdate, phosphorus can be precipitated as ammonium phosphomolybdate, (NH_4)_3PO_4.12MoO_{3} . It can be also estimated as by precipitating it as MgNH_{4}PO_{4} by adding magnesia mixture which on ignition yields Mg_2P_2O_{7} .

Let the mass of organic compound taken = m g and mass of ammonium phosphomolybdate = m_1 g

Molar mass of (NH_4)_3PO_4.12MoO_{3}=1877 g
Percentage(%) of phosphorus = \frac{31\times m_1\times 100}{1877\times m}

Q 12.24 Explain the principle of paper chromatography.

Answer:

In paper chromatography, chromatography paper is used. It contains water trapped in it, which acts as the stationary phase. The solution of the mixture is spotted on this base of chromatography paper. The strip of paper is suspended in a suitable solvent, which is the mobile phase. Due to capillary action, the solvent rises up in the paper and it flows over the spot. The spots of the different component travel with the mobile phase to a different level of heights. The obtained paper is called chromatogram.

Q 12.25 Why is nitric acid added to sodium extract before adding silver nitrate for testing halogens?

Answer:

Nitric acid added to sodium extract before adding silver nitrate for testing halogens to decompose the NaCN to HCN and Na_2S to H_2S and to expel these gases. If any ampount of nitrogen and sulphur are present in the form of NaCN and Na_2S , then they are removed.

\\NaCN+HNO_{3}\rightarrow NaNO_{3}+HCN\\ Na_{2}S+HANO_{3}\rightarrow 2NaNO_{3}+H_{2}S

Q 12.26 Explain the reason for the fusion of an organic compound with metallic sodium for testing nitrogen, sulphur and halogens.

Answer:

In Organic compounds, nitrogen, sulphur and halogens are covalently bonded. To detect them, they have to convert into ionic form. This is done by the fusing of an organic compound by the sodium metal. This is known as Lassaigne's test.
The following chemical reactions are-
\\Na+C+N\rightarrow NaCN\\ Na+S+C+N\rightarrow NaSCN\\ 2Na+S\rightarrow Na_2S\\ Na+X\rightarrow NaX
Here X = halogen atoms

Q 12.27. Name a suitable technique of separation of the components from a mixture of calcium sulphate and camphor.

Answer:

To separate a mixture of calcium sulphate and camphor, we use sublimation method. In this method, the sublimable compound is converted to vapour state from the solid state without achieving its liquid states. Here camphor is sublimable compound and calcium sulphate is not.

Q 12.28. Explain, why an organic liquid vaporises at a temperature below its boiling point in its steam distillation ?

Answer:

In steam distillation, Organic liquid starts boiling when the total sum of the vapour pressure of an organic liquid (P') and the of water (P'') becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure (P),
it means P = P' + P''. since P'< P'', the orgnic liquid will vaporise at a lower temperature than its boiling point.

Q 12.29. Will CCl_{4} give white precipitate of AgCl on heating it with silver nitrate? Give reason for your answer.

Answer:

No, CCl_{4} does not give white ppt of AgCl on heating with the silver nitrate. This is because the chlorine atoms are covalently bonded with the carbon atom. To get ppt, it should be present in ionic form.

Q 12.30. Why is a solution of potassium hydroxide used to absorb carbon dioxide evolves during the estimation of carbon present in an organic compound?

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is acidic in nature and KOH is a strong base. Thus, carbon dioxide reacts with the potassium hydroxide by acid-base reaction and form a salt known as potassium carbonate and water as a by-product.

KOH+CO_{2}\rightarrow K_{2}CO_{3}+H_{2}O

Thus, due to the increase in KOH the mass of U-tube is also increases. This increased mass of the tube gives the mass of carbon dioxide produced. From its mass, the % of carbon in the Organic compound can be estimated.

Q 12.31 . Why is it necessary to use acetic acid and not sulphuric acid for acidification of sodium extract for testing sulphur by lead acetate test?

Answer:

It is necessary to use acetic acid and not sulphuric acid for acidification of sodium extract for testing sulphur by lead acetate test because in case of sulphuric acid the complete ppt formation of lead sulphate does not take place. While the addition of acetic acid will ensure a complete ppt. formation of sulphur in the form of lead sulphate due to the common ion effect.

Q 12.32. An organic compound contains 69% carbon and 4.8% hydrogen, the remainder being oxygen. Calculate the masses of carbon dioxide and water produced when 0.20 g of this substance is subjected to complete combustion.

Answer:

Given,
Percentage of carbon = 69%
% of Hydrogen = 4.8%, and
% of Oxygen = 26.2 %

So, 0.2 g of OC have (0.2\times 0.69) g of Carbon = 0.138g
we know that,
molecular weight of CO_{2} = 44 g
12 g of C is present in 44 g of CO_{2}

Therefore, 0.138 g of C present in 0.138\times \frac{44}{12} = 0.506 g of CO_{2}

Hence, from 0.2 g of OC 0.506 g of CO_{2} will be produced.

Similarly,
100 g of OC contains 4.8 g of H
So, 0.2 g of OC contains (0.2\times 0.048) = 0.0096 g of H
We know the mol. wt. of water = 18 g

Therefore 0.0096 g of H will present in \frac{18\times 0.0096}{2} = 0.0864 g of water

Hence 0.2 gram of OC will produce 0.0864 g of water on complete combustion of


Q 12.33. A sample of 0.50 g of an organic compound was treated according to Kjeldahl’s method. The ammonia evolved was absorbed in 50 ml of 0.5 M H_{2}SO_{4} . The residual acid required 60 mL of 0.5 M solution of NaO\! H for neutralisation. Find the percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound.

Answer:

Given that,
total mass of organic compound = 0.50 g
60 mL of 0.5 M solution of NaOH required for neutralisation by residual acid.

60 mL of 0.5 M NaOH solution = \frac{60}{2} mL of 0.5M H_{2}SO_{4} = 30 mL of 0.5 M H_{2}SO_{4}

Therefore,
Acid consumed in absorption of evolved ammonia is (50-30) mL = 20 mL

Again, 20 mL of 0.5 M H_{2}SO_{4} = 40 mL of 0.5 M NH_3

Also, since 1000 mL of 1 M NH_3 contains 14 g of nitrogen,
So, 40 mL of 0.5 M NH_3 will contain = \frac{14\times 40\times 0.5}{1000} = 0.28 g of Nitrogen

Therefore, percentage(%) of nitrogen in 0.50 g of organic compound = (0.28/0.5)\times 100 = 56 %

Q 12.34. 0.3780 g of an organic chloro compound gave 0.5740 g of silver chloride in Carius estimation. Calculate the percentage of chlorine present in the compound.

Answer:

Given that,
Mass of organic compound = 0.3780 g.
Mass of AgCl formed = 0.5740 g

It is known that,
1 mol of AgCl contains 1 mol of Cl.

Thus, mass of chlorine in 0.5740 g of AgCl

\\=\frac{35\times 0.5740}{143.32}

= 0.1421 g

∴ Percentage(%) of chlorine = =\frac{0.1421}{0.3780}\times 100 = 37.59%

Hence, the percentage of chlorine present in the given organic compound is 37.59%.

Q 12.35. In the estimation of sulphur by Carius method, 0.468 g of an organic sulphur compound afforded 0.668 g of barium sulphate. Find out the percentage of sulphur in the given compound.

Answer:

Given data,

Total mass of the OC = 0.468 g
Mass of barium sulphate formed = 0.668 g

We know that,

1 mol of BaSO 4 = 233 g of BaSO_{4} = 32 g of sulphur
Thus, 0.668 g of BaSO_{4} contains = \frac{32\times 0.668}{233} g of sulphur = 0.0917 g of sulphur

Therefore, the percentage(%) of sulphur
= \frac{0.0197}{0.468}\times 100
= 19.59 %

Hence, the percentage of sulphur in the given compound is 19.59 %.

Q 12.36. In the organic compound C\! H_{2}=C\! H-C\! H_{2}-C\! H_{2}- C\equiv \! CH , the pair of hydridised orbitals involved in the formation of: C_{2}-C_{3} bond is:

&nbnbsp; (a) sp-sp^{2} (b) sp-sp^{3} (c) sp^{2}-sp^{3} (d) sp^{3}-sp^{3}

Answer:

In the organic compounds-
C\! H_{2}=C\! H-C\! H_{2}-C\! H_{2}- C\equiv \! CH
1 2 3 4 5

In C_2 and C_3 carbon atom the hybridisation is sp^2-sp^3
So, the correct option is (c)

Q 12.37. In the Lassaigne’s test for nitrogen in an organic compound, the Prussian blue colour is obtained due to the formation of:

\; (a)\; N\! a_{4}\! \left [ F\! \! \, e(\! C\! N\! )_{6} \right ] (b)\; F\! e_{4}\left [ F\! e(C\! N)_{6} \right ]_{3} (c)\; F\! e_{2}\! \left [ F\! e(C\! N)_{6} \right ] (d) \; F\! e_{3}\left [ F\! e(C\! N)_{6} \right ]_{4}

Answer:

The Prussian blue colour is due to the formation of Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3.xH_{2}O in Lassaigne's test.

6CN^-+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow [Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}

3[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}+4Fe^{3+}\rightarrow Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3.xH_{2}O

So, the correct option is (b)


Q 12.38. Which of the following carbocation is most stable ?

(a)\; (CH_{3})_{3}C.C\, H_{2} (b)\; (C\! H_{3})_{3}C (c)\; C\! H_{3}C\! H_{2}C\! H_{2} (d)\; CH_{3}\, C\! H C\! H_{2}C\! H_{3}
Answer:

We know the stability of carbocation order is-
3^o>2^o>1^o>CH_3^+ (It is due to the tendency of the methyl group to electron release and stabilise the carbocation)

So, the correct option is (b)

Q 12.39. The best and latest technique for isolation, purification and separation of organic compounds is:
(a) Crystallisation (b) Distillation (c) Sublimation (d) Chromatography

C\! H_{3}C\! H_{2}I+K\! O\! H(aq)\rightarrow C\! H_{3}C\! H_{2}O\! H+K\! I is classified as :

(a) electrophilic substitution (b) nucleophilic substitution (c) elimination (d) addition

Answer:

C\! H_{3}C\! H_{2}I+K\! O\! H(aq)\rightarrow C\! H_{3}C\! H_{2}O\! H+K\! I
Here, OH^- attacks on ethyl iodide and substitute the iodide ion ion. OH^- having a lone pair of an electron, so it acts as a nucleophile. Hence it is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
So, the correct option is (b)
