QUESTION FROM 5 – 7 IS ASSERTION AND REASON BASED MULTIPLE
CHOICE QUESTION TYPE. OPTIONS FOR THAT QUESTIONS ARE:

a) Both Assertion and Reasons are correct and Reason given is the correct
explanation for the Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the given reasons is not the correct
explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion statement is correct but reason statement is wrong.
d) Assertion statement is wrong but reason statement is correct.

5. Assertion: Boiling point of amines are lower than those of alcohols and carboxylic
acids.
Reason: Amines are much more soluble in water than less polar solvents like
alcohol, ether, etc.

6. Assertion: Trimethyl ethanoic acid does not give HVZ reaction.

Reason : Trimethyl ethanoic acid does not have - hydrogen atom.

7. Assertion: On heating 3 – methyl butanoic acid with soda lime, isobutane is obtained.
Reason: Soda lime is a mixture of NaOH and CaO in the ratio of 3: 1.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

When an aldehyde with no -hydrogen atom reacts with concentrated aqueous

NaOH, half the aldehydes is converted to Carboxylic acid salt and the other half is
converted to an alcohol. In other words, half of the reactant is oxidized and other
half is reduced. This reaction is known as Cannizaro’s reaction.
8. Which of the following compounds will undergo Cannizaro reaction?
a) Ethanal b) Propanone c) Benzaldehyde d) Phenylethanal
9. Which of the following reaction will not result in the formation of Carbon-carbon
bonds?
a) Wurtz reaction b) Reimer-Tiemann reaction
c) Cannizaro reaction d) Friedel – Craft’s acylation.
10. Trichloroacetaldehyde is subjected to Cannizaro’s reaction by using KOH. The
mixture of the products contains A and B compounds. If A is Potassium salt of
trichloro acetate ion, then the compound B is _______.
a) Trichloro methanol b) 2,2,2 – trichloro ethanol
c) Chloroform d) 2,2,2 – trichloro propanol.

 SECTION B
11. Write about : a) Stephen’s reduction of CH3CN.
b) Clemmenson reduction of CH3 COCH3

12. Write the structures of products of the following reactions:

13. How will you convert:

a) Benzene diazonium chloride into Benzenenitrile.

b) 1,4 – Dichloro butane into hexan – 1,6- diamine.

14. Give plausible explanation for each of the following.

a) Why do primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines?

b) pKb of aniline is more than that of methylamine.

c) Although amino group is o, p – directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution

reactions, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.

15. a) Predict the products formed when cyclo hexane carbaldehyde reacts with the
following reagents:
i) Phenylmagnesium bromide followed by acid hydrolysis.
ii) One mole of ethanol / HCl.
3
 b) Distinguish between acetophenone and benzaldehyde using simple chemical
test.

16. An organic compound (A) with the molecular formula C9 H10 O forms a
compound (B) with 2,4, - DNP reagent. It reduces Tollen’s reagent to form (C)
and undergoes Cannizaro reaction to form compound (D) & (E). On vigorous
oxidation, it gives 1,2, - benzene dicarboxylic acid. Identify the compounds (A)
to (E) write the equations.
