Question 12.3 Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling points.

CH_{3}CHO, CH_{3}CH_{2}OH,CH_{3}OCH_{3}, CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}

Answer :

Increasing order in their boiling points-

CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}<CH_{3}OCH_{3}<CH_{3}CHO<CH_{3}CH_{2}OH

Alcohol has the highest boiling point due to more extensive intermolecular H-bonding. Aldehyde is more polar than ether so, ethanal has high BP than ethyl ether. And alkane has the lowest BP.

Question 12.4(i) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic addition reactions.

Ethanal, Propanal, Propanone, Butanone.

Answer :

necrt_189451


By the above structure, we can see that, due to +I effect of alkyl group te electron density at Carbonyl carbon increase from ethanal to bytanone. And so the tendency of attacking nucleophile is decreased.
Thus the increasig order (reactivity towards nucleophile)-

Butanone < propanone < propanal < ethanal

Question 12.4(ii) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic addition reactions.

Benzaldehyde, p-Tolualdehyde, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, Acetophenone.

Answer :

If +I effect is more its reactivity towards nucleophilic addition is less. and -I is more, more reactive toward addition.

Question 12.8(i) Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?

CH_{3}CO_{2}H or CH_{2}FCO_{2}H

Answer :

CH_{2}FCO_{2}H is stronger than CH_{3}COOH due to -I effect of Fluorine decreases the electron density at OH bond, which makes it easier to lose proton ( H^{+} ). The conjugate base of CH_{2}FCO_{2}^{-} is more stable than CH_{3}COO^{-} .

Question 12.8(ii) Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?

CH_{2}FCO_{2}H or CH_{2}Cl CO_{2}H

Answer :

CH_{2}FCO_{2}H is a stronger acid.

Fluorine has more -I effect than chlorine. So, CH_{2}FCO_{2}H can release proton easily than CH_{2}ClCO_{2}H .

Question 12.8(iii) Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?

(iii) CH_{2}FCH_{2}CH_{2}CO_{2}H or CH_{3}CH FCH_{2}CO_{2}H

Answer :

Since we know that inductive effect depends on distance. Greater is the distance lesser is the effect. So, -I effect in CH_{3}CH FCH_{2}CO_{2}H is more.

CH_{3}CH FCH_{2}CO_{2}H is more acidic than CH_{2}FCH_{2}CH_{2}CO_{2}H .

Question 12.8(iv) Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?

1649968633265

Answer :

Due to -I effect of Fluorine in A, it is easy to release proton ( H^{+} ) but in compound B due to +I effect of methyl group it becomes difficlt te release protons. Therefore, compound A is more acidic than compound B.

According to given information, the molecular formula is C_{9}H_{10}O and it reduces tollens reagent. So, there must be an aldehyde group.And also it gives cannizaro reaction, it means the given copound has no \alpha -hydrogen atom. On oxidation it gives 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid. Thus, the aldehyde group ( -CHO ) is directly attached with the benzene ring and also it should be para-substituted.

Hence, the structure of the compound (2-ethyl benzaldehyde) is-

Q 12.12 (i) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated:

Acetaldehyde, Acetone, Di-tert-butyl ketone, Methyl tert-butyl ketone (reactivity towards HCN)

Answer:

Increasing order (reactivity towards HCN)-
Di-tert-butyl ketone < Methyl tert-butyl ketone < Acetone < Acetaldehyde

necrt_19444
The attacking power of CN nucleophile can be affected by two ways-

  1. hindrance near carbonyl group
  2. negative charge on -CO group (through +I effect of methyl)

By observing the structure of all compound we can arrange them in order to reactivity towards HCN.

Q 12.12 (ii) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated:

CH_{3}CH_{2}CH(Br)COOH, CH_{3}CH(Br)CH_{2}COOH, (CH_{3})_{2}CHCOOH ,CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}COOH (acid strength)

Answer:

increasing order of their acidic strength-

\\(CH_{3})_{2}CHCOOH<CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}COOH<CH_{3}CH(Br)CH_{2}COOH<CH_{3}CH_{2}CH(Br)COOH

Due to presence of Bromine, which shows -I effect and we know that -I grows weaker as distance increases. And in case of n-propyl and isopropyl, the +I effect is more in isopropyl, so it is weak in acidic strength.
-I\propto acidic nature
+I\propto 1/ acidic

Q 12.12 (iii) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated:

Benzoic acid, 4-Nitrobenzoic acid, 3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid, 4-Methoxybenzoic acid (acid strength)

Answer:

Increasing order of acidic strength -

4-methoxybenzoic acid < Benzoic acid < 4-Nitrobenzoic acid < 3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid

As we know, electron withdrawing groups increase the strength of the acid and electron donating group decreases the strength of acids. Therefore, 4-methoxybenzoic acid is the weakest acid among them and 3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid is the strongest due to the presence of 2 electron withdrawing groups and then 4-Nitrobenzoic acid.

Q 12.18(i) Give plausible explanation for each of the following:

Cyclohexanone forms cyanohydrin in good yield but 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone does not.

Answer:

Structure of 2,2,6-trimethylcyclo hexanone
necrt_19511
Cyclohexanone forms cyanohydrin when the nucleophile ( HCN/CN^{-} ) attack on cyclohexanone.
necrt_19511_1
In this case, there is less hindrance around the CO group so the nucleophile can attack easily. But in case of 2,2,6-trimethylcyclo hexanone at the alpha ( \alpha ) position, there is a hindrance because of the methyl groups. Thus the nucleophile cannot attack effectively.

Q 12.18(ii) Give plausible explanation for each of the following:

There are two –NH 2 groups in semicarbazide. However, only one is involved in the formation of semicarbazones.

Answer:

In Semicarbazide,

necrt_19512


One of the -NH_{2} group is involved in resonance with the carbonyl group, which is directly attached. Therefore, it cannot act as a nucleophile (its electrons are less available or less electron density at that -NH_{2} group). But the other -NH_{2} group is not participating in resonance, so it can act as nucleophile and attack on the carbonyl carbon of ketone and aldehyde.

Q 12.18(iii) Give plausible explanation for each of the following:

During the preparation of esters from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, the water or the ester should be removed as soon as it is formed.

Answer:

RCOOH+R'OH\rightleftharpoons RCOOR'+H_{2}O
If either water or the ester is not removed immediately then ester can react with water and again and give back the reactants.

Thus to shift the reaction in forward direction we need to produce more ester or remove either of the two.

Q 12.19 An organic compound contains 69.77% carbon, 11.63% hydrogen and rest oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86. It does not reduce Tollens’ reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and give a positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation it gives ethanoic and propanoic acid. Write the possible structure of the compound.

Answer:

In the question, it is given that,
% of carbon = 69.77
% of Hydrogen = 11.63
% of Oxygen = (100-69.77-11.63) = 18.6

Now, the no. of moles of the components are-
n_{c}=\frac{69.77}{12}=5.81
n_{H}=\frac{11.63}{1}=11.63
n_{O}=\frac{18.6}{16}=1.16
Thus ration of C:H:O = 5.81:11.63:1.16
To get empirical formula we need to divide them by 1.16 .So,
C:H:O= 5:10:1
So, the empirical formula is C_{5}H_{10}O
The molecular mass of the compound = (5\times 12)+(10\times 1)+(1\times 16) = 86

Since the compound does not give tollens test it means it is not an aldehyde. It is given that, the compound gives positive iodoform test it means the compound must be methyl ketone.
On oxidation, it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acids. Therefore, the compound should be

Pentan-2-one
the structure of the compound is - CH_{3}-CO-(CH_{2})_{2}-CH_{3}

Q 12.20 Although phenoxide ion has more number of resonating structures than carboxylate ion, carboxylic acid is a stronger acid than phenol. Why?

Answer:

In carboxylate ion the electron is delocalised between oxygen, which is electronegative in nature. But in case of phenoxide ion, the electron are delocalise between less electronegative atom and also phenoxide ion has non-equivalent resonance structure. Therefore, carboxylate ion is more resonance stable than phenoxide ion and we know that more stable the conjugate base of an acid, high strong is the acidic
