In chlorobenzene the Cl group

Answer»

activities the benzene ring more via resonane effect then deactivating it iva INDUCTIVE effect
deactivates the benzene ring more via inductive effect than deactivating it via resonance effect
activates the benzene ring via resonance effect and deactivates it via inductive effect. Both these effectts are evenly match
is a net deactivating group with meta directing influence.

Solution :CHLORINE activates the benzene ring due to +R effect. The lone pair of electrons on Cl participates in resonance with benzene
Because of high electronegativity of Cl, it ALSO exerts -I effect. So thest TWO effects balance each other.

In chlorobenzene solutions, the basic strength of amines increases in the order

Answer»

` (C_(2)H_(5))_(3)N lt (C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NH lt C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)`
`C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)lt (C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NHlt (C_(2)H_(5))_(3)N`
`(C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NHltC_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)lt (C_(2)H_(2))_(3)N`
`(C_(2)H_(5))Nlt C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)lt (C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NH`

Solution :TN non-aqueous solvents, the basicity of amines does not DEPEND upon the stability o f conjugate ACIDS since H-bonding cannot occur. INSTEAD, it DEPENDS only on the +/-effect of the alkyl groups. Obviously, as the number of alkyl groups increases, the basicity increases. in the same order, i.e.,
`C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2) lt (C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NHlt (C_(2)H_(5))_(3)N `

Solution :`35.5 = (X XX 37 + (100 -x)35)/(100) rArr 35.5 = (3500 + 2x)/(100)`
`2x = 50 rArr x = 25 rArr " Ratio " 75 : 25 = 3 :1`

In chemical equilibrium, the value of Delta n (number of molecules), is negative, then the relationship between K_(p) "and" K_(c) will be

Answer»

`K_(P)-K_(c) = 0`
`K_(c) = K_(P) XX (RT)^(+DELTAN)`
`K_(P) = K_(c) xx (RT)^(-Deltan)`
`K_(c) = 1/K_(p)`

SOLUTION :`Kp = Kc(RT)^(Deltang)`
Since, `Delta(NG)` is -ve
`Kc = Kp(RT)^(+Deltang)`

In chemical analysis, the presence of a methyl ketonic group is tested with I_(2) in presence of an alkali like NaOH or KOH. In another chemical analysis, aldehyde group is tested either by Tollens' reagent (AgNO_(3)NH_(3)OH) which gives silver mirror or by Fehling's solution (CuSO_(4)+NaOH+ Roschelle salt) which gives red ppt. of copper (I) oxide. Q. Consider the following compounds: I. CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(3) II. CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(3) III. CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-OH IV. CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-Cl Which will give iodoform test?

Answer»

Only I
Both I and II
Only II
All

Solution :ALTHOUGH `CH_93)COCH_(2)COCH_(3)` contains a `CH_(3)CO-` group linked to carbon, YET it does not undergo iodoform test. The reason being that the iodination OCCURS at the more reactive `CH_(2)` group rather than at the terminal `CH_(3)` which is essential for iodoform test to occurs.

Only `CH_(3)CO-COCH_(3)` gives iodoform test.
