HARVEEN’s ALCHEMY

Grade: 12 Revision Assignment

Topic: Aldehyde, Ketone and Carboxylic Acid
Q1. Why α-hydrogens of aldehydes and ketones are acidic in nature?

Q2. Name the reagents used for conversion of following:

(a) CH3COCL to CH3COCH3
(b) Benzonitrile to Acetophenone
(c)

Q3. Arrange the following in decreasing order of reactivity towards

nucleophillic reaction:
(a) methanal, ethanal, propanal, porpanone.
(b) P-nitrobenzaldehyde, P-methylbenzaldehyde, Benzaldehyde
(c) Propanal, T-butyl methyl ketone, di-T-butyl ketone.

Q4.Arrange the following in decreasing order of acidity:

(a) trichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, acetic acid
(b) P-nitrobenzoic acid, P-toulic acid, Benzoic acid.

Q5. Distinguish:
(a) Benzaldehyde and ethanal
(b) Methanoic acid and ethanoic acid
(c) Propan-2-ol and propan-2-one

Q6. Name the reagent:

CH3-CH=CH-C≡N to CH3-CH=CH-CHO

Q7. Write the equations when benzaldehyde reacts with:

(a)hydroxylamine (b) semicarbazide (c) HCN

Q8. Why semicarbazide reacts from one -NH2 groupinspite of two

-NH2 groups?

Q9. Write a note on:

(a) Ketal (b) Hemiacetal
Q10. Name A,B,C,D,E and write their IUPAC name as well.

Q11. Write mechanism of nucleophillic addition reaction of aldehyde

when HCN is added.

Q12. Write the mechanism of esteri cation.

Q13. Why Benzoic acid do not give Friedal Craft Reactions?

Q14. There is an alcohol (A) with formula C3H7O which reacts with I2
AND NaOH & forms yellow ppt and when reacts with H2SO4, gives
C3H6 (B) which reacts with HBr to give C3H7Br (C). B reacts with HBr
in presence of peroxide to give C3H7Br (D). Identify A,B,C,D and write
the equations as well.

Q15. There is a compound name with formula C5H10O (A) which gives
2,4-DNP Test but do not give Tollen’s reagent test. When oxidised by
and O.A. gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. Identify A and write
all equations.

Q16. Convert the following:

(a)ethanal to 3-hydroxybutanal
(b)Benzaldehyde to 2-hydroxy 2-phenyl ethanoic acid
(c) Propene to propan-2-one
(d)Ethanoic acid to methanamine.
