Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Free radical stability structural hierarchy sequence: textResonance Stabilized (Propargyl/Allyl) > 3^circ > 2^circ > 1^circ > textVinylic/Alkyne Center ### Core Logic Let's analyze individual cleavage points across the carbon backbone skeleton: * **Position II** yields a propargyl intermediate radical directly adjacent to the alkyne bond. This allows strong resonance stabilization across the pi system, making it the most stable radical position. * **Position I** places the radical directly on an mathrmsp-hybridized carbon center. The high electronegativity of mathrmsp orbitals tightly holds the unpaired electron, making homolytic cleavage extremely difficult and rendering this intermediate the least stable radical position.

### Step 1: Verdict Therefore, the most stable and least stable positions are II and I, respectively. ### Pattern Recognition Radicals located on mathrmsp carbons (vinylic/alkynic) are highly unstable due to poor orbital overlap, while positions next to triple bonds (propargylic) are exceptionally stable due to active resonance delocalization. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Q34 jee_main_2025_24_jan_morning Quantitative Analysis of Organic Compounds
Given below are two statements I and II. Statement I: Dumas method is used for estimation of "Nitrogen" in an organic compound. Statement II: Dumas method involves the formation of ammonium sulphate by heating the organic compound with conc mathrmH_2mathrmSO_4 In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
  • A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  • B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  • C. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
  • D. Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Solution

### Core Logic Statement I is fully accurate: Dumas method is standardly applied for estimating elemental nitrogen across structural compounds. Statement II is incorrect: The reaction leading to ammonium sulphate generation by intense thermal heating alongside concentrated mathrmH_2mathrmSO_4 describes the **Kjeldahl method**, not the Dumas strategy. The Dumas process instead relies on burning carbonaceous compounds explicitly with copper oxide to convert nitrogen cleanly into free gas (N_2). ### Pattern Recognition Dumas method collects element gas N_2 via volumetric analysis; Kjeldahl maps digestions via standard (mathrmNH_4)_2mathrmSO_4 pathways. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q31 jee_main_2025_28_jan_evening Purification of Organic Compounds
The purification method based on the following physical transformation is : textSolid xrightarrow[(textX)]textHeat textVapour xrightarrow[(textX)]textCool textSolid
  • A. Sublimation
  • B. Distillation
  • C. Crystallization
  • D. Extraction

Solution

### Related Formula Direct phase transition without passing through an intermediate liquid phase defines sublimation: textSolid rightleftharpoons textVapour ### Core Logic The schematic diagram represents a solid turning directly into vapor on heating, which then reverts back to a solid phase upon cooling. This distinct behavior isolates sublimable solids from non-sublimable impurities. ### Step 1: Identification This transformation perfectly defines the laboratory purification process known as **Sublimation**. ### Pattern Recognition Look for the skipping of the liquid state entirely: Solid rightarrow Vapour rightarrow Solid. Common examples include camphor, naphthalene, benzoic acid, and iodine. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q44 jee_main_2025_28_jan_evening Isomerism
Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Oxacyclobutane and prop-2-en-1-ol are isomeric compounds. Statement (II): Propan-1-amine and N-methylethanamine are functional group isomers. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
  • A. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  • B. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  • C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

### Related Formula Isomers share an identical molecular formula but differ in structural arrangement or functional groups: textSame M_f neq textSame structural layout ### Core Logic Evaluating the structural parameters: - **Statement I**: Oxacyclobutane (a cyclic ether) and prop-2-en-1-ol (an unsaturated alcohol) both possess the molecular formula C_3H_6O. They are functional/ring-chain isomers, so Statement I is true. - **Statement II**: Propan-1-amine (1^circ amine) and N-methylethanamine (2^circ amine) both share the molecular formula C_3H_9N. Because primary, secondary, and tertiary amines contain different functional groups, they act as functional group isomers. Thus, Statement II is true. ### Step 1: Conclusion Match Since both structural statements are valid, both Statement I and Statement II are true.

### Pattern Recognition Always remember that 1^circ, 2^circ, and 3^circ amines are classified as *different functional groups* in IUPAC nomenclature. Consequently, structural shifts between them with a constant carbon count represent functional group isomerism. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
