Primary and secondary alcohols are dehydrogenated by copper at 573 K to aldehydes and ketones respectively. In contrast tertiary alcohols are dehydrated to alkenes by heating with copper at 573 K. Similarly, primary alcohols are easily oxidised to form first an aldehyde and then a carboxylic acid while secondary alcohols are oxidised to ketones which are further oxidised to form a mixture of acids. Tertiary alcohols are oxidised with difficulty and with strong oxidising agents in acidic medium. They form first ketones and then acids. In the case of alcohols containing carbon-carbon double bond, some oxidising agents oxidise both double bond and OH group while other reagents donot affect C-Chond. The reagent which oxidises 1^(@) alcohol to aldehyde without affecting C=C double bond is

22.

Primary alkyl halide C_(4)H_(9)Br(a) reacted with alcoholic KOH to give compound (b). Compound (b) is reacted with HBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (a). When (a) is reacted with sodium metal, it gives a compound (d), C_(8)H_(18)which is different from the compound formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium. Give the structural formula of (a) and write the equations for all the reactions.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Two primary ALKYL halideshaving the molecular formula, `C_(4)H_(9)Br `are
`underset("n -Butyl bromide") (CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br) "and " underset("Isobutyl bromide") (CH - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) CH - CHBr) `
Compound (a) when reacted with Na metal gives a compound (d) with molecular formula `C_(8)H_(18) `which is different from the compound obtained when n-butyl bromide is reacted with Na metal. THEREFORE, (a) must be isobutyl bromide and compound (d) must be 2, 5- dimethylhexane.
`underset("n-Butylbromide "(1^(@))) (2CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br ) + Na underset(-2NaBr) overset("Wurtz reaction ") to underset("n -octane") (CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2) CH_(2)CH_(3))underset("Isobutyl bromide (a) "(1^(@))) (CH_(3) - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) CH - CH_(2)Br ) + 2Na underset(-2 NaBr) overset("Wurtz reaction ") to underset("2, 5- Dimethylhexane") (CH_(3) - overset(CH_(3))overset(|) CH - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) CH - CH_(3)) `
With the identification of (a) and (d) , other compounds i.e., (B) and (c ) can be identified as under :
`underset((a)) underset ("Isobutyl chloride ") (CH_(3) - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) C= CH_(2)Br )underset("Dehydrohalogenation ") overset(KOH (alc), Delta ) tounderset((b)) underset("2 - METHYL -1-propane") (CH_(3) - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) C = CH_(2)) `
Thus, (b) is 2 - methyl -1- propene.
The compound (b) on treatment with HBr gives compound (c ) in accordance with Markovnikov.s rule . Therefore , compound (c ) is tert - butyl bromide which is an isomer of compound (a) i.e., isobutyl bromide .
`underset("2 - Methyl -1-propene ") (CH_(3) - overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) C = CH_(2)) underset("Markovnikov addition ") overset("HBr") to underset(["an isomer of compound (a) "]) underset("tert -Butyl bromide (c )") (CH_(3) - underset(Br) underset(|) overset(CH_(3)) overset(|) C = CH_(3)) `
Thus , (a) is isobutyl bromide, (b) is 2- methyl -1- propene, (c ) is tert - butylbromide and (d) is 2 , 5 - dimethylhexane.
23.

Primary alkyl halide C_(4)H_(9)Br (a) reacted with alcoholic KOH to give compound (b). Compound (b) is reacted with HBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (a). When (a) is reacted with Na metal, it gives a compound (d), C_(8)H_(18) which is different from the compound formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium. gove the structural formula of (a) and write the equations for all the reactions.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Two primary alkyl halides having the molecular FORMULA `C_(4)H_(9)Br` are
`underset("n-Butyl bromide")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br)"and"underset("Isobutyl bromide")((CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)H-CH_(2)Br)`
Thus, compound (a) is either n-butyl bromide or isobutyl bromide.
(ii) Since compound (a) when reacted with Na metal gives a compound (d) with M.F. `C_(8)H_(18)` which is different from the compound obtained when n-butyl bromide is reacted with Na metal, therefore, (a) must be isobutyl bromide and compound (d) must be 2,5-dimethylhexane.
`underset("n-Butyl bromide "(1^(@)))(2CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br)+2Na underset(-2NaBr)overset("Wurtz reaction")to underset("n-Octane")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3))`
`underset("Isobutyl bromide "(a)" "(1^(@)))(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)H-CH_(2)Br)+2Na underset(-2" "NaBr)overset("Wurtz reaction")to underset("2,5-Dimethylhexane (d), M.F. "C_(8)H_(18))(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)H-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)H-CH_(3))`
(iii) If compound (a) is isobutyl bromide then compound (b) which it gives on treatment with alcoholic KOH must be 2-methyl-1-propene
`underset("Isobutyl chloride (a)")(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)H-CH_(2)Br) underset(("Dehydrohalogenation"))overset(KOH(alc),Delta)to underset("2-Methyl-1-propene (b)")(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)=CH_(2))`
(iv) The compound (b) on treatment with HBr gives compound (c) in accordance with Markovnikov's RULE. therefore, compound (c) is tert-butyl bromide which is an isomer of compound (a), i.e., isobutyl bromide.
`underset("2-Methyl-1-propene")(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)=CH_(2)) underset(("Mark. ADDN."))overset(HBr)to underset("tert-Butyl bromide (c) (an isomer of compound (a)")(CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(3))`
thus, (a) is isobutyl bromide, (b) is 2-methyl-1-propene, (c) is tert-butyl bromide and (d) is 2,5-dimethylhexane.

Pressure of 1 g of an ideal gas A at 27^(@)C is found to be 2 bar. When 2 g of another ideal gas B is introduced in the same flask at same temperature, the pressure becomes 3 bar. Find the relationship between molecular masses.

Answer»

Solution :Suppose MOLECULAR masses of A and B are `M_(A) and M_(B)` RESPECTIVELY. Then their number of moles will be
`n_(A) =(1)/(M_(A)), n_(B)=(2)/(M_(B))`
`P_(A) =2" bar ," P_(A) +P_(B) =3` bar
i.e, `P_(B)=1` bar
Applying the relation PV =nRT
`THEREFORE (P_(A))/(P_(B))=(n_(A))/(n_(B))=(1//M_(A))/(2//M_(B))=(M_(B))/(2M_(A))`
or `(M_(B))/(M_(A))=2xx(P_(A))/(P_(B))=2xx(2)/(1)=4`
or `M_(B) =4 M_(A)`
