Question 5:

The addition of HBr to 1-butene gives a mixture of products A, B and C

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:

According to Markovnikov rule for addition to unsymmetrical alkenes (1-butene), negative part (Br⁻) of attacking reagent (HBr) will attach to carbon atom with lesser number of hydrogen atoms and positive part (H⁺) to carbon atom with more number of hydrogen atoms. Thus, A and B are obtained as major products because they are enantiomers while C is obtained as minor product.
Hence, the correct answer is option (i).

Question 6:

Which of the following will not show geometrical isomerism?
(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

Answer:

A molecule shows geometrical isomersim when both the groups on double bonded carbon atoms are different. But in option (iv), one of the double bonded carbon atoms has two methyl groups attached to it. So, it cannot show geometrical isomerism.

Arrange the following hydrogen halides in order of their decreasing reactivity with propene.
(i) HCl > HBr > HI
(ii) HBr > HI > HCl
(iii) HI > HBr > HCl
(iv) HCl > HI > HBr

Answer:

The bond dissociation energy of HI is very low due to large size of I. Hence, it has highest reactivity with alkenes. As the size of halogens decreases, bond dissociation energy of hydrogen halides increases and reactivity with alkenes decreases.
Hence, the correct answer is option (iii).

Arrange the following alkyl halides in decreasing order of the rate of β–elimination reaction with alcoholic KOH. 
(i) A > B > C
(ii) C > B > A
(iii) B > C > A
(iv) A > C > B

Answer:

The stability of alkene formed after β–elimination reaction of alkyl halides with alcoholic KOH dtermines the rate of reaction. More the +I (Inductive) efffect, more stable will be the alkene and hence, more will be the reactivity of alkyl halide.
Hence, the correct answer is option (iv).

Question 15:

In the given question two or more options may be correct.
For an electrophilic substitution reaction, the presence of a halogen atom in the benzene ring _______.
(i) deactivates the ring by inductive effect
(ii) deactivates the ring by resonance
(iii) increases the charge density at ortho and para position relative to meta position by resonance
(iv) directs the incoming electrophile to meta position by increasing the charge density relative to ortho and para position.

Answer:

As halogens are electronegative, so, the ring gets somewhat deactivated by −I (Inductive) effect of halogens. But due to +R (Resonance) effect, halogens make their lone pairs of electrons participate in resonance and increase electron charge density at ortho and para positions of ring. Thus, an electrophile can easily attack at these positions.
Hence, the correct answers are options (i) and (iii).
 



Page No 165:

Question 16:

In the given question two or more options may be correct.
In an electrophilic substitution reaction of nitrobenzene, the presence of nitro group ________.
(i) deactivates the ring by inductive effect.
(ii) activates the ring by inductive effect.
(iii) decreases the charge density at ortho and para position of the ring relative to meta position by resonance.
(iv) increases the charge density at meta position relative to the ortho and para positions of the ring by resonance.

Answer:

As nitro group is electron withdrawing group, so, the ring gets deactivated by −I (Inductive) effect. Due to −R (Resonance) effect, nitro group withdraws electron density away from ring and electron charge density at ortho and para positions of ring is decreased. Thus, an electrophile attacks at meta position.
Hence, the correct answers are options (i) and (iii).

(i) 2,2-Dimethylpropane
(ii) trans-Pent-2-ene
(iii) cis-Hex-3-ene
(iv) 2, 2, 3, 3 - Tetramethylbutane.

Answer:

The dipole moment of trans-Pent-2-ene is small but not zero because of the unequal +I (Inductive) effect of two substituents CH₃ and Câ‚‚Hâ‚… on double bonded carbon. In cis-Hex-3-ene, +I (Inductive) effect of two Câ‚‚Hâ‚… groups is equal but the dipole moment is not zero as they are inclined at an angle of 60⁰ to each other. In other two options, dipole moment is zero.
Hence, the correct answers are options (ii) and (iii).

Page No 165:

Question 20:

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

Answer:

Both alkenes and arenes are electron rich and hence, electrophile easily attacks these sites. Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reaction because energy released due to formation of two new σ bonds is more than energy required to break one π bond. But in the case of arenes,  addition reaction would result in loss of aromaticity and resonance energy. Therefore, arenes prefer electrophilic substitution reactions in which aromaticity is retained.

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:

The reduction of 2-butyne will yield 2-butene and it will show geometrical isomerism. This is because each of the two doubly bonded carbons have two different substituents−H and CH₃. This is the requirement of geometrical isomerism.

Question 22:

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

Answer:

Rotation around carbon-carbon single bond of ethane is restricted due to an energy barrier of 1−20 kJ mol⁻1. This is because of the weak repulsive interaction known as torsional strain between adjacent bonds.

Page No 166:

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:


Staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than eclipsed conformation because staggered conformation has carbon-hydrogen bonds as far apart as possible. Thus, minimum repulsive forces, minimum torsional strain, minimum energy and maximum stability.

Question 24:

The intermediate carbocation formed in the reactions of HI, HBr and HCl with propene is the same and the bond energy of HCl, HBr and HI is 430.5 kJ mol–1, 363.7 kJ mol–1and 296.8 kJ mol–1respectively. What will be the order of reactivity of these halogen acids?

Answer:

The reactivity of halogen acids is inversely proportional to their bond energies. The bond energy of HI is least due to large size of I. Hence, it has highest reactivity with propene. As the size of halogens decreases, bond energy of halogen acids increases and reactivity with propene decreases. So, the order of reactivity of these halogen acids is HI > HBr > HCl.

Page No 166:

Question 25:

What will be the product obtained as a result of the following reaction and why?

Answer:


The primary carbocation formed is less stable and rearranges to form more stable secondary carbocation. This attacks as an electrophile on benzene ring to form isopropyl benzene as major product.

Question 27:

Arrange the following set of compounds in the order of their decreasing relative reactivity with an electrophile. Give reason.

Answer:

Anisole has electron donating OCH₃ group which shows +I (Inductive) effect and +R (Resonance) effect leading to highest reactivity with an electrophile. Chlorobenzene has Cl group which is electronegative and shows −I (Inductive) effect and +R (Resonance) effect leading to decreased reactivity. But nitrobenzene has electron withdrawing NOâ‚‚ group which −I â€‹(Inductive) effect and −R (Resonance) effect leading to least reactivity. Thus, the reactivity order is Anisole > Chlorobenzene > Nitrobenzene.

Page No 166:

Question 28:

Despite their - I effect, halogens are o- and p-directing in haloarenes. Explain.

Answer:

Halogens are electronegative, so, they deactivate the ring by their −I (Inductive) effect. But they increase the electron density at o- and p- positions due to delocalisation of their lone pairs of electrons into the ring by +R (Resonance) effect. Hence, they are o- and p-directing in haloarenes.

Page No 166:

Question 29:

Why does presence of a nitro group make the benzene ring less reactive in comparison to the unsubstituted benzene ring. Explain.
 

Answer:

Nitro group is an electron withdrawing group which shows −I (Inductive) effect and −R (Resonance) effect. Due to these two effects, benzene ring is deactivated and electron density is decreased at o- and p- positions. This makes the benzene ring less reactive in comparison to the unsubstituted benzene ring.

C Aromatic All three characteristics followed.
D Non-aromatic 4π−electrons in the ring. So, Huckel rule not obeyed.
E Aromatic All three characteristics followed.
F Aromatic All three characteristics followed.
G Non-aromatic Incomplete delocalisation of π−electrons in the ring and 8π−electrons in the ring. So, Huckel rule not obeyed.

(i) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(ii) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(iii) Both A and R are not correct.
(iv) A is not correct but R is correct.

Answer:

Toulene has methyl group attached to benzene ring and methyl group shows +R (Resonance) effect. Thus, it increases the electron density at o– and p– positions and gives o– and p–xylene on Friedal Crafts methylation.
Hence, the correct answer is option (i).

Question 46:

In the given question a statement of assertion (A) followed by a statement of reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.
Assertion (A) : Nitration of benzene with nitric acid requires the use of concentrated sulphuric acid.
Reason (R) : The mixture of concentrated sulphuric acid and concentrated nitric acid produces the electrophile, NO2+.
(i) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(ii) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(iii) Both A and R are not correct.
(iv) A is not correct but R is correct.

Answer:

The process of generation of electrophile, NO₂⁺ for nitration of benzene is a simple acid-base equilibrium. Here, concentrated sulphuric acid acts as an acid by transfer of proton to concentrated nitric acid which acts as a base.
Hence, the correct answer is option (i).

Question 47:

In the given question a statement of assertion (A) followed by a statement of reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.
Assertion (A) : Among isomeric pentanes, 2, 2-dimethylpentane has highest boiling point.
Reason (R) : Branching does not affect the boiling point.
(i) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(ii) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(iii) Both A and R are not correct.
(iv) A is not correct but R is correct.

Answer:

The boiling point of alkanes decreases on branching and among isomeric pentanes, n-pentane has the highest boiling point because of straight chain while 2, 2-dimethylpentane has the lowest boiling point due to maximum branching.
Hence, the correct answer is option (iii).

Question 48:

An alkyl halide C5H11Br(A) reacts with ethanolic KOH to give an alkene ‘B’, which reacts with Br2 to give a compound ‘C’, which on dehydrobromination gives an alkyne ‘D’. On treatment with sodium metal in liquid ammonia one mole of ‘D’ gives one mole of the sodium salt of ‘D’ and half a mole of hydrogen gas. Complete hydrogenation of ‘D’ yields a straight chain alkane. Identify A,B, C and D. Give the reactions invovled.

Answer:

C5H11Br(A)alc.KOHC5H10(B)Br2 in CS2C5H10Br2(C)-2HBralc.KOHC5H8(D)Na-liq.NH3C5H7-Na+12H2

Since hydrogenation of (D) yields a straight-chain alkane, the structures of (A), (B), (C) and (D) are as follows.

(A) H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2Br(B) H3C-CH2-CH2-CH=CH2(C) H3C-CH2-CH2-CH(Br)-CH2Br(D) H3C-CH2-CH2-CCH

Question 49:

896 mL vapour of a hydrocarbon ‘A’ having carbon 87.80% and hydrogen 12.19% weighs 3.28g at STP. Hydrogenation of ‘A’ gives 2-methylpentane. Also ‘A’ on hydration in the presence of H2SO4 and HgSO4 gives a ketone ‘B’ having molecular formula C6H12O. The ketone ‘B’ gives a positive iodoform test. Find the structure of ‘A’ and give the reactions involved.

Answer:

Let us first find out the molecular mass of hydrocarbon ‘A’.

Question 51:

In the presence of peroxide addition of HBr to propene takes place according to anti Markovnikov’s rule but peroxide effect is not seen in the case of HCl and HI. Explain.

Answer:

The peroxide effect in case of HBr proceeds via free radical chain mechanism.

This effect is not known in case of HCl because of the higher bond dissociation enthalpy (430.5 kJ mol⁻1) of H-Cl bond as compared to bond dissociation enthalpy (363.7 kJ mol⁻1) of H-Br bond. Therefore, H-Cl bond is not cleaved by free radical.
Peroxide effect is not seen in case of HI because of quite low bond dissociation enthalpy (296.8 kJ mol⁻1) of H-I bond. So, iodine free radicals combine to form iodine molecules instead of adding to propene.
