Which of the following is more basic than aniline?                    

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(d) Benzyl amine, C6H5CH2-N..H2 is more basic than aniline because benzyl group (C6H5CH2-) is electron donating group due to +I-effect. So, it is able to increase the electron density of N of -NH2 group. Thus, due to higher electron density, rate of donation of free pair of electron is increased, i.e. basic character is hhigher. Phenyl and nitro group are electron attractive groups, so they are able to decrease the electron density of N of -N..H2 group. Hence, they are less basic than aniline.

Which one of the following has the shortest carbon-carbon bond length?

Explanation

(c) Ethyne (acetylene) have shortest C-C bond length because it has CC bond. The bond length follows the following order

       CC <C=C<C-C

Which of the following represents the correct order of acidity in the given compounds?

Explanation

(c) The acidity of halogenated acid increases with increase in electronegativity of the halogen present. So,  the correct order is order is F > Ce >Br

 FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH > CH3COOH

Ethanol and dimethyl ether form a pair of functional isomers. The boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of dimethyl ether due to the presence of

Explanation

Ethanol has a hydroxyl (-OH) group that can participate in hydrogen bonding, whereas dimethyl ether does not have any hydrogen atoms attached to highly electronegative atoms. This intermolecular hydrogen bonding in ethanol results in stronger attractive forces, leading to a higher boiling point.

Among the following the strongest acid is

Explanation

(c) We know that, inductive effect decreases rapidly with distance. Inductance effect distance depending factor. As the distance of Cl-atom increases the acidic character decreases.

The distance between two adjacent carbon atoms is largest in

Explanation

(c) The C-C bond length is maximum for single bond, so butane have largest C-C bond length because it contains carbon-carbon single bond.

Which of the following represent the correct decreasing order of acidic strength of following? 

(i) Methanoic acid

(ii) Ethanoic acid

(iii) Propanoic acid

(iv) Butanoic acid

Explanation

The acidic strength of carboxylic acids decreases with an increase in the size of the alkyl group. This is because the larger alkyl groups have a greater electron-releasing or electron-donating effect, which decreases the polarity of the O-H bond, making it less acidic. Therefore, the correct decreasing order of acidic strength is: methanoic acid > ethanoic acid > propanoic acid > butanoic acid.

The relative stability order of carbanions CH≡C-, CH- and CH2=CH- is ____________

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

As the electronegativity of the atom at which -ve charge is present, the stability of the carbanion also increases. The order is

CHC->CH2=CH->CH3-

 

Trans-2-butene on bromination using CS2 gives which dibromoderivative

Explanation

Addition of Br2 in alkene is an example of anti addition. Trans alkene on anti addition give meso compound.

Consider the acidity of the following carboxylic acids

(i) PhCOOH

(ii) o-NO2C6H4COOH

(iii) p-NO2C6H4COOH

(iv)m-NO2C6H4COOH

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Due to ortho effect, ortho derivative is most acidic. If electron withdrawing group like -NO2 is present in ring then order of acidity is -o>p->m-
