VIVA- VOICE WRITTEN TEST 1.

Give the chemistry involved in the detection of nitrogen and sulphur and halogens by Lassainges method. 2. Why the alkaline solution containing ferrous ion is boiled during detection of nitrogen? 3. Will hydrazine respond to nitrogen test as described in Lassainges test? Give reason. 4. Both aniline and cinnamic acid respond to bromine solution test? observations. 5. Can fluorine be detected by Lassainges test? Give reasons. 6. Why benzaladehyde do not give positive Fehlings test? 7. If the unknown compound is detected as glucose what positive tests will be obtained? 8. Will oxalic acid respond to phthalein test? 9. Why ortho nitro phenol does not give violet colour with ferric chloride solution? 10. In detection of halogens, why dilute nitric acid is added before addition of halogens? 11. Give the composition of Fehlings reagent? Why they the solutions mixed just before performing the test. 12. What is the difference between a reducing sugar and a non-reducing sugar? How will you test for a reducing sugar? 13. What is the chemistry involved in iodoform test? Will ethylacetoacetate give a positive iodoform test? 14. Why coupling of phenols is carried out in slightly alkaline medium whereas that of amines is carried out in slightly acidic medium? 15. Why Carboxylic acids do not form a precipitate with 2,4-DNP reagent ? 16. How will you distinguish between (with reactions) Account for the

(i) -napthol and -napthol; (ii) acetaldehyde and acetone; (iii) ethane and ethene; (iv) glucose and fructose (v) cyclohexanol and phenol 17. What is the specific test for benzoic acid ? 18. Why addition of sodium acetate is essential while using semicarbazone preparation? 19. Is the control of pH essential for oxime, semicarbazone or DNP derivative preparation. Explain. 20. Give mechanism for a) Iodoform reaction b) formation of fluorescein c) Diazotisation d) Napthalene + Aluminium chloride e) Schotten Baumann reaction 21. Why aromatic compounds burn with sooty flame? 22. Why borosil glassware resistant to heat. 23. Which will give better test for Chlorine presence, chlorobenzene or chlorohexane. Why? 24. What is litmus reagent? 25. If two compounds have same m.p. and same characteristic tests (functional group same). How will you distinguish the two?
