C.(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
D.(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
Solution & Explanation
### Core Logic
Evaluating standard NCERT laboratory purification matches:
- **(A) Aniline from aniline-water mixture:** Aniline is steam volatile and immiscible with water, so it is separated via **Steam distillation (IV)**.
- **(B) Glycerol from spent-lye in soap industry:** Glycerol decomposes at or below its boiling point, hence it is separated via **Distillation at reduced pressure (III)**.
- **(C) Different fractions of crude oil:** Separated using their small differences in boiling points via **Fractional distillation (II)**.
- **(D) Chloroform-Aniline mixture:** Separated due to a substantial boiling point difference via **Simple distillation (I)**.
### Pattern Recognition
Match key words directly: Glycerol/spent-lye always links to reduced pressure (vacuum distillation). Crude oil always couples to fractional columns. Aniline + water implies steam injection.

The percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound (Aqueous tension at 300mathrmK = 15~mathrmmmHg$300\mathrm{K} = 15~\mathrm{mmHg}$) is
A. 1.257
B. 20.87
C. 18.67
D. 12.57
Solution
### Related Formula
p_mathrmN_2 = p_texttotal - p_textaq$$p_{\mathrm{N_2}} = p_{\text{total}} - p_{\text{aq}}$$n_mathrmN_2 = fracp_mathrmN_2 VR T$$n_{\mathrm{N_2}} = \frac{p_{\mathrm{N_2}} V}{R T}$$\% mathrmN = fractextMass of nitrogentextMass of organic compound times 100$$\% \mathrm{N} = \frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Mass of organic compound}} \times 100$$
### Core Logic
Dumas' method estimates nitrogen by collecting dry nitrogen gas (N_2$N_2$). We must subtract the aqueous tension (vapor pressure of water) to find the pressure exerted solely by the dry nitrogen gas.
### Step 1: Calculate Pressure of Dry Nitrogen
p_mathrmN_2 = 715~mathrmmmHg - 15~mathrmmmHg = 700~mathrmmmHg$$p_{\mathrm{N_2}} = 715~\mathrm{mmHg} - 15~\mathrm{mmHg} = 700~\mathrm{mmHg}$$
Converting pressure to atmospheres:
p_mathrmN_2 = frac700760~mathrmatm$$p_{\mathrm{N_2}} = \frac{700}{760}~\mathrm{atm}$$
### Step 2: Calculate Moles of Nitrogen Gas
Using the ideal gas law with R = 0.0821~mathrmL~atm~mol^-1~K^-1$R = 0.0821~\mathrm{L~atm~mol^{-1}~K^{-1}}$, T = 300~mathrmK$T = 300~\mathrm{K}$, and V = 60~mathrmmL = 60 times 10^-3~mathrmL$V = 60~\mathrm{mL} = 60 \times 10^{-3}~\mathrm{L}$:
n_mathrmN_2 = fracleft(frac700760right) times 60 times 10^-30.0821 times 300$$n_{\mathrm{N_2}} = \frac{\left(\frac{700}{760}\right) \times 60 \times 10^{-3}}{0.0821 \times 300}$$n_mathrmN_2 = frac0.92105 times 0.06024.63 approx 2.244 times 10^-3~mathrmmol$$n_{\mathrm{N_2}} = \frac{0.92105 \times 0.060}{24.63} \approx 2.244 \times 10^{-3}~\mathrm{mol}$$
### Step 3: Calculate Mass and Percentage of Nitrogen
The molar mass of mathrmN_2$\mathrm{N_2}$ is 28~mathrmg~mol^-1$28~\mathrm{g~mol^{-1}}$:
textMass of mathrmN_2 = n_mathrmN_2 times 28 = 2.244 times 10^-3 times 28 approx 0.06283~mathrmg$$\text{Mass of } \mathrm{N_2} = n_{\mathrm{N_2}} \times 28 = 2.244 \times 10^{-3} \times 28 \approx 0.06283~\mathrm{g}$$
Now find the percentage in 0.5~mathrmg$0.5~\mathrm{g}$ of organic compound:
\% mathrmN = frac0.06283~mathrmg0.5~mathrmg times 100 = 12.566\% approx 12.57\%$$\% \mathrm{N} = \frac{0.06283~\mathrm{g}}{0.5~\mathrm{g}} \times 100 = 12.566\% \approx 12.57\%$$
### Pattern Recognition
Watch out! Always subtract the aqueous tension from the wet gas pressure first to find the dry gas pressure. Forgetting this step is the most common source of error in Dumas calculations.

### Step 1: Classification
Hence, compounds a, c, d, e, and h follow Huckel's rule and are aromatic, whereas b, f, and g are not aromatic.
### Pattern Recognition
Quick check for aromaticity: Count the pairs of localized/delocalized pi$\pi$ electrons moving through the continuous loop. Odd number of pairs (1, 3, 5...) means aromatic (2pi, 6pi, 10pi$2\pi, 6\pi, 10\pi$). Even pairs mean anti-aromatic/non-aromatic.

### 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$\pi$ system, making it the most stable radical position.
* **Position I** places the radical directly on an mathrmsp$\mathrm{sp}$-hybridized carbon center. The high electronegativity of mathrmsp$\mathrm{sp}$ orbitals tightly holds the unpaired electron, making homolytic cleavage extremely difficult and rendering this intermediate the least stable radical position.
Free Radical Stability
### Step 1: Verdict
Therefore, the most stable and least stable positions are II and I, respectively.
### Pattern Recognition
Radicals located on mathrmsp$\mathrm{sp}$ 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.

### Core Logic
Let's analyze the leaving groups across all choices layout-by-row:
* For **(p)**, the leaving group is mathrmCl^-$\mathrm{Cl^-}$ (Very weak base, excellent leaving group).
* For **(q)**, the leaving group is mathrmRCOO^-$\mathrm{RCOO^-}$ (Resonance stabilized carboxylate, good leaving group).
* For **(r)**, the leaving group is mathrmRO^-$\mathrm{RO^-}$ (Alkoxide, strong base, poor leaving group).
* For **(s)**, the leaving group is mathrmNH_2^-$\mathrm{NH_2^-}$ (Extremely strong base, exceptionally poor leaving group due to nitrogen lone pair resonance into the carbonyl).
This structural comparison yields the final sequence: mathrmp > q > r > s$\mathrm{p > q > r > s}$.
### Pattern Recognition
Acyl chlorides (p) are always the most reactive acid derivatives, while amides (s) are consistently the least reactive due to strong amide resonance stabilizing the carbonyl group.

Let's perform the stoichiometry layout step-by-step:
* Moles of mathrmC$\mathrm{C}$ inside sample system:
mathrmn_C = frac1.4644 = 0.033mathrm~mol$$\mathrm{n_C} = \frac{1.46}{44} = 0.033\mathrm{~mol}$$textMass of C = 0.033 times 12 = 0.396mathrm~g$$\text{Mass of C} = 0.033 \times 12 = 0.396\mathrm{~g}$$
* Moles of mathrmH$\mathrm{H}$ inside sample system:

* Determine Oxygen mass by subtracting values from total starting mass:
textMass of O = 1.0 - (0.396 + 0.063) = 0.541mathrm~g$$\text{Mass of O} = 1.0 - (0.396 + 0.063) = 0.541\mathrm{~g}$$mathrmn_O = frac0.54116 = 0.033mathrm~mol$$\mathrm{n_O} = \frac{0.541}{16} = 0.033\mathrm{~mol}$$
* Find atomic whole-number ratio profile: mathrmC : H : O = 0.033 : 0.063 : 0.033 approx 1 : 2 : 1$\mathrm{C : H : O} = 0.033 : 0.063 : 0.033 \approx 1 : 2 : 1$.
* This gives an empirical configuration of mathrmCH_2O$\mathrm{CH_2O}$.
