p. Nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol. Explain why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :p-Nitrophenol is more ACIDIC than phenol

Phenal p-Nitrophenol In case of p-nitrophenol DUE to I EFFECT of -`NO_(2)` group the loss of H-atom as proton from-O-H group is facilitated as compared to phenol.
15.

Answer»

phenol is more acidic than p-nitro phenol.

p-nitrophenol and o-nitrophenol are separatedby

Answer»

Crystallisation
Fractional crystallisation
DISTILLATION
Steam distillation

Solution :o-nitro PHENOL the intramolecular hydrogen bonding, while p-nitrophenol has intermolecular hydrogen bonding (comparatively STRONGER). Due to this reason, the boiling point of o-nitrophenol is found QUITE less than that of p-nitrophenol.Hence, o-nitrophenol is steam volatile and can be separated from p-nitrophenol by steam distillation.
17.

p- Nitrophenol is a stronger acid than phenol because nitro group is :

Answer»

ELECTRON DONATING
Electron WITHDRAWING
Basic
Acidic

Answer :B
18.

p-nitrophenol and o-nitrophenol are separated by :

Answer»

distillation
steam distillation
crystallization
fractional crystallization

Solution :p-nitrophenol has more boiling point due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Separated by distillation

In the o-compound the hydrogen boiling is intramolecular, and so the molecule BEHAVES as a 'single unit'. Hydrogen bonding in the p-compound is intermolecular. Thus, we are DEALING with associated molecules, which behave as a large molecule with high that of the monomer).
Since we have assumed that the o-compound has the type of hydrogen bonding SHOWN, this PRESUMABLY is also possible for the p-compound. On the other hand, hydrogen bonding between hydrozyl groups in the p-compound is possible.
19.

p-Nitrobenzoic acid has higher K_(a) value than benzoic acid. Give reasons.

Answer»

Solution :Higher the `K_(a)`, stronger is the acid. Thus, p-nitrobenzoic acid is a stronger acid than benzoic acid. This is due to the following two reasons:
(i) due to -I and -R-effect of the `-NO_(2)` group, the ELECTRON density in the O-H BOND decreases. as a result, O-H bond becomes weak and hence p-nitrobenzoic acid more easily LOSES a PROTON than benzoic acid
.
(ii) Due to -I and -R-effect of the `NO_(2)` group, dispersal of the -ve charge OCCURS and hence p-nitrobenzoate ion becomes more stable than benzoate ion.

p-nitro chlorobenzene undergoes nucleophilic substitution faster than chlorobenzene.

Answer»

SOLUTION :
p-nitro chlorobenzene undergoes nucleophilic substitution FASTER than chlorobenzene. This is because the anion formed after the ATTACK of nucleophile is stabilised more in case of p-nitro chlorobenzene due to electron withdrawing effect of - `NO_(2)`group.
24.

p - Nitro phenol is more acidic than phenol. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :This because `-NO_(2)` GROUP has `-I` EFFECT.

As a RESULT of it :
(a) the LOSS of H atom as proton is facilitated.
(b) The phenoxide ion formed after the loss of proton gets stabilised.
25.

p-methoxybenzyl bromide reacts faster than p-nitrobenzyl bromide with ethanol to form an ether product. Explain why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :It is because of the DIFFERENCE in the STABILITY of carbocations formed in two CASES,
26.

p-methoxylbenzyl bromide reacts faster than p-nitrobenzyl bromide with ethanol to form an ether product. Explain, why ?

Answer»

Solution :
METHOXY GROUP is ELECTRON releasing, therefore, it stabilises carbocation formed by p-methoxybenzyl BROMIDE whereas nitro group being electron withdrawing destabilises carbocation formed by p-nitro BENZYL bromide. That is why p-methoxybenzyl bromide is more reactive than p-nitrobenzyl bromide.

p-Dichorobenzene has higher melting point and lowerr solubility than those of o- and m-isomers. Discuss.

Answer»

Solution :The p-isomer being more symmetrical fits closely in the crystal lattice and thus has stornger INTERMOLECULAR forces of attraction than those of o- and m-isomers. Since during melting or DISSOLUTION, the crystal lattice breaks, therfore, a larger amount of ENERGY is needed to melt or dissolve the p-isomer than the corresponding o-and m-isomers. in other words, the melting POINT of the p-isomer is higher and it ssolubility lower than the corresponding o- and -isomers.
35.

p-Dichlorobenzene has higherm.p. and lower solubility than those ofo -and m-isomers. Discuss.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The p-isomer being more symmetrical fits closely in the CRYSTAL LATTICE. It has stronger intermolecular forces of attraction than those ofo - and m-isomers. During melting or dissolution, the crystal lattice BREAKS, therefore, a LARGER amount of energy is needed to melt or dissolve the p-isomer than the correspondingo - and m-isomers. In other words, the melting point of the p-isomer is higher and its solubility lower than the correspondingo - and m- isomers.
