In the following reactions, which one is NOT correct?

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic When benzene diazonium chloride is treated with ethanol (textCH_3textCH_2textOH), it undergoes a reduction reaction (deamination). Ethanol acts as a reducing agent and gets oxidized to ethanal (textCH_3textCHO), while the diazonium group is replaced by hydrogen to yield pure **benzene**, not phenetole (ethoxybenzene).

### Step 1: Review of Alternative Choices Reactions (2), (3), and (4) show standard correct transformations: hypophosphorous acid reduction to benzene, potassium iodide substitution to iodobenzene, and cuprous cyanide substitution to benzonitrile. ### Pattern Recognition Shortcut: Remember that textH_3textPO_2 and textCH_3textCH_2textOH are standard classic reducing agents that reduce textArN_2^+textCl^- directly down to textArH (benzene). They do not undergo nucleophilic ether substitution paths. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Amines

Q 2025 Diazotisation and Coupling Reactions
When a concentrated solution of sulphanilic acid and 1-naphthylamine is treated with nitrous acid (273 K) and acidified with acetic acid, the mass (g) of 0.1 mole of product formed is : Given molar mass in mathrmg~mol^-1 H:1, C:12, N:14, O:16, S:32
  • A. 343
  • B. 330
  • C. 33
  • D. 66

Solution

### Related Formula textMass (g) = textNumber of moles times textMolar mass (mathrmg~mol^-1) ### Core Logic Sulphanilic acid is diazotized under cold conditions (273~mathrmK) with nitrous acid to form a diazonium salt intermediate. This diazonium salt undergoes a coupling reaction with 1-naphthylamine to form a red azo dye. First, sulphanilic acid acts as a zwitterion and undergoes diazotization:
Azo-dye synthesis reaction from diazotized sulphanilic acid and 1-naphthylamine
Azo-dye synthesis reaction from diazotized sulphanilic acid and 1-naphthylamine
Nitrous acid reacts with the amine to form the diazonium compound:
Azo-dye synthesis reaction from diazotized sulphanilic acid and 1-naphthylamine
Azo-dye synthesis reaction from diazotized sulphanilic acid and 1-naphthylamine
This intermediate couples with 1-naphthylamine at the para-position to give the red azo dye compound:
Azo-dye synthesis reaction from diazotized sulphanilic acid and 1-naphthylamine
Azo-dye synthesis reaction from diazotized sulphanilic acid and 1-naphthylamine
### Step 1: Calculate the Molar Mass The molecular formula of the red-azo dye formed is mathrmC_16H_13N_3O_3S. Let's calculate its molar mass using the given atomic masses: textMolar mass = 16(12) + 13(1) + 3(14) + 3(16) + 32 textMolar mass = 192 + 13 + 42 + 48 + 32 = 327~mathrmg~mol^-1 ### Step 2: Calculate the Mass of 0.1 Mole Using the relation for mass: textMass of 0.1~textmole = 0.1 times 327 = 32.7~mathrmg approx 33~mathrmg Hence, the nearest option is 33~mathrmg. ### Pattern Recognition Azo coupling reactions are clean electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Diazotized sulphanilic acid has a highly electron-withdrawing sulphonic acid group, making it an excellent electrophile that couples selectively at the para-position of 1-naphthylamine. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Amines
Q38 2025 Basic Strength of Amines
The correct order of basic nature on aqueous solution for the bases mathrmNH_3, mathrmH_2mathrmN-mathrmNH_2, mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2mathrmNH_2, (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_2mathrmNH and (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_3mathrmN is:
  • A. (1)\ mathrmNH_3 < mathrmH_2mathrmN - mathrmNH_2 < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_3mathrmN < mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2mathrmNH_2 < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_2mathrmNH
  • B. (2)\ mathrmNH_3 < mathrmH_2mathrmN - mathrmNH_2 < mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2mathrmNH_2 < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_2mathrmNH < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_3mathrmN
  • C. (3)\ mathrmH_2mathrmN - mathrmNH_2 < mathrmNH_3 < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_3mathrmN < mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2mathrmNH_2 < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_2mathrmNH
  • D. (4)\ mathrmNH_2 - mathrmNH_2 < mathrmNH_3 < mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2mathrmNH_2 < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_3mathrmN < (mathrmCH_3mathrmCH_2)_2mathrmNH

Solution

### Related Formula Basic strength in aqueous medium depends on three combined effects: textBasic Strength propto textInductive Effect (+I) + textSolvation Energy - textSteric Hindrance ### Core Logic Let's list structural elements row-by-row: * Ethyl substituted amine trends in aqueous systems uniquely align into a 2° > 3° > 1° configuration due to competing steric and hydration energies: mathrm(Et)_2NH > (Et)_3N > EtNH_2 * Ammonia (mathrmNH_3) is less basic than aliphatic substituted structures due to the absence of electron-donating alkyl clusters. * Hydrazine (mathrmH_2mathrmN-NH_2) is exceptionally weak compared to ammonia because the adjacent electronegative nitrogen creates an electron-withdrawing (-I) effect, while lone-pair repulsions reduce overall stability. ### Step 1: Ordering Assembling the fragments gives the complete verified thermodynamic order: mathrmNH_2-NH_2 < NH_3 < CH_3CH_2NH_2 < (CH_3CH_2)_3N < (CH_3CH_2)_2NH ### Pattern Recognition Remember the standard numeric rules for aliphatic basic strength order in aqueous media: - Methyl amines follow: **213** - Ethyl amines follow: **231** This simple sequence trick handles complex ranking items instantly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Amines
Q 2025 Aniline Reactions and Directing Effects
The sequence from the following that would result in giving predominantly 3, 4, 5-Tribromoaniline is :
  • A.
  • B.
  • C.
  • D.

Solution

### Related Formula Directing effects in multi-substituted benzenes: - -NH_2 is a strong activating group and ortho/para director. - -NO_2 is a strong deactivating, meta-directing group. - Diazotization followed by Sandmeyer reaction replaces an -NH_2 group with a halogen. ### Core Logic To prepare 3,4,5-tribromoaniline, we must introduce three bromine atoms adjacent to each other (meta to the final amino group, with one para and two meta). Let's trace the sequence in Option (3) starting from 4-nitroaniline (p-nitroaniline): ### Step 1: Bromination of p-nitroaniline Treatment of 4-nitroaniline with excess mathrmBr_2 in acetic acid: - The amino group (-NH_2) is a strong activator and directs to its ortho positions (positions 2 and 6). - Positions 2 and 6 are meta to the -NO_2 group, which is compatible. - This yields 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline. ### Step 2: Diazotization and replacement of amino group 1. mathrmNaNO_2 + mathrmHCl diazotizes the amino group to a diazonium salt: mathrmR-NH_2 rightarrow mathrmR-N_2^+ Cl^- 2. Addition of mathrmCuBr (Sandmeyer reaction) replaces the diazonium group with bromine: mathrmR-N_2^+ Cl^- xrightarrowmathrmCuBr mathrmR-Br This yields 3,4,5-tribromonitrobenzene. ### Step 3: Reduction of nitro group Reduction of the nitro group using mathrmSn/HCl converts -NO_2 to -NH_2: mathrmR-NO_2 xrightarrowmathrmSn, HCl mathrmR-NH_2 This yields 3,4,5-tribromoaniline as the predominant product. Thus, Option (3) is correct. ### Pattern Recognition To brominate meta positions relative to an amino group, use a nitro precursor at the para position. The -NH_2 group activates these positions first, after which the initial amino group is replaced with a halogen, and the nitro group is subsequently reduced back to a primary amine. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Amines

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. textA and E Only
  • B. textC Only
  • C. textA and C Only
  • D. textB, C and D Only

Solution

### Related Formula textR-textNH_2 + textCHCl_3 + 3textKOH rightarrow textR-textNC + 3textKCl + 3textH_2textO ### Core Logic Only primary (1^circ) aliphatic and aromatic amines yield a positive carbylamine test (forming foul-smelling alkyl/aryl isocyanides). - **A** is Aniline (primary aromatic amine) rightarrow Positive - **B** is Dimethylamine (secondary aliphatic amine) rightarrow Negative - **C** is Methylamine (primary aliphatic amine) rightarrow Positive - **D** is Trimethylamine (tertiary aliphatic amine) rightarrow Negative - **E** is N-Methylaniline (secondary aromatic amine) rightarrow Negative Thus, only A and C show a positive test. ### Pattern Recognition Shortcut: Look directly for any amine with a plain -textNH_2 functional group. Secondary (-textNH-) and tertiary (-textN-) amines never react. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Amines
Q28 2025 Functional Group Analysis and Identification
An organic compound 'A' undergoes the following sequence of transformations: text'A' xrightarrow[text(ii) H_3O^+]text(i) NaOH text'B' xrightarrow[text(ii) H_2SO_4, Delta]text(i) EtOH text'C' * 'A' shows a positive Lassaigne's test for nitrogen and its molar mass is 121 text g mol^-1. * 'B' gives effervescence with aqueous textNaHCO_3. * 'C' gives a characteristic fruity smell. Identify A, B, and C from the options below:
  • A. textA = textBenzamide, textB = textBenzoic acid, textC = textEthyl benzoate
  • B. textA = textBenzonitrile, textB = textBenzoic acid, textC = textEthyl benzoate
  • C. textA = textAniline, textB = textPhenol, textC = textPhenyl acetate
  • D. textA = textBenzylamine, textB = textBenzoic acid, textC = textEthyl benzoate

Solution

### Core Logic Let's perform a step-by-step diagnostic analysis: 1. **Molar Mass & Nitrogen Test**: Compound 'A' has a nitrogen atom and a molar mass of 121 text g mol^-1. Let's verify Benzamide (textC_6textH_5textCONH_2): textMass = (7 times 12) + (7 times 1) + 14 + 16 = 84 + 7 + 14 + 16 = 121 text g mol^-1 This matches perfectly. 2. **Alkaline Hydrolysis**: Hydrolysis of benzamide under basic conditions yields benzoic acid upon acidification: textC_6textH_5textCONH_2 xrightarrow[H_3O^+]NaOH textC_6textH_5textCOOH (Compound B) + textNH_3 Benzoic acid reactively gives effervescence with textNaHCO_3 due to the liberation of textCO_2 gas. 3. **Esterification**: Reaction of benzoic acid with ethanol in the presence of acid catalyst results in the creation of ethyl benzoate, an ester with a pleasant fruity smell: textC_6textH_5textCOOH + textEtOH xrightarrowH_2SO_4, Delta textC_6textH_5textCOOEt (Compound C) + textH_2textO

### Pattern Recognition "Fruity smell" is an absolute indicator for an ester product. "Effervescence with textNaHCO_3" dictates a carboxylic acid intermediate. Basic hydrolysis converting an organo-nitrogen compound into an acid points directly to an amide or a nitrile—molar mass calculation establishes benzamide over benzonitrile (M = 103). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Amines Class 12 Chemistry: Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
