In Dumas' method for estimation of nitrogen, 1mathrm~g of an organic compound gave 150mathrm~mL of nitrogen collected at 300mathrm~K temperature and 900mathrm~mmHg pressure. The percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound is _______ % (nearest integer). (Aqueous tension at 300mathrm~K = 15mathrm~mmHg)

Numerical Answer Type:
Enter a numerical value Answer: 20 to 20 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula P_textdry N_2 = P_texttotal - P_textaqueous tension PV = nRT implies n = fracPVRT \% N = fractextMass of NitrogentextMass of Organic Compound times 100 ### Core Logic First, calculate the actual pressure exerted by the dry nitrogen gas: P_N_2 = 900 - 15 = 885mathrm~mmHg = frac885760mathrm~atm Convert volume data to liters: V = 150mathrm~mL = 0.15mathrm~L. Using the ideal gas law to determine the moles of N_2 collected: n = fracleft(frac885760right) times 0.150.0821 times 300 = frac1.1645 times 0.1524.63 approx 0.0071mathrm~moles Calculate the total mass of the liberated nitrogen gas: textMass = n times M_textmolar = 0.0071 times 28 = 0.1988mathrm~g Determine the percentage composition relative to the initial 1mathrm~g sample size: \% N = frac0.19881 times 100 = 19.88\% approx 20\% ### Pattern Recognition Always remember to subtract the aqueous tension value first. Failing to correct for water vapor pressure is the most common pitfall in Dumas' method calculations. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Q35 2025 IUPAC Nomenclature
What is the correct IUPAC name of the following organic compound? {{Q_IMG1}}
Cyclic substituted alkene organic molecule structure for Q35
The molecule contains a five-membered carbon ring with one double bond, a hydroxyl substituent, and an ethyl group.
  • A. 4-Ethyl-1-hydroxycyclopent-2-ene
  • B. 1-Ethyl-3-hydroxycyclopent-2-ene
  • C. 1-Ethylcyclopent-2-en-3-ol
  • D. 4-Ethylcyclopent-2-en-1-ol

Solution

### Core Logic Let us apply official IUPAC priority indexing rules: 1. **Principal Functional Group**: The hydroxyl group (-textOH) possesses higher naming priority over double bonds and simple alkyl side chains. Thus, the carbon bearing the -textOH group is assigned position **C-1**. 2. **Numbering Direction**: We must number through the ring towards the double bond to assign it the lowest possible locant. Hence, the alkene carbons are given coordinates **C-2** and **C-3**. 3. **Locating Side Chains**: Proceeding with this direction puts the ethyl group at position **C-4**.
Numbered ring numbering system layout for 4-ethylcyclopent-2-en-1-ol
The molecule contains a five-membered carbon ring with one double bond, a hydroxyl substituent, and an ethyl group.
Assembling the structural parts alphabetically: * Substituent: `4-Ethyl` * Parent root: `cyclopent-2-en` * Suffix: `1-ol` Combined IUPAC format: **4-Ethylcyclopent-2-en-1-ol**. ### Pattern Recognition Principal suffix priority hierarchy: -textOH > textDouble bond > textAlkyl side-chain. Always fix the highest priority suffix at index 1 and head instantly towards the alkene bond to safely restrict locant numbers. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q38 2025 Quantitative Elemental Analysis
On complete combustion, 0.210 text g of an organic compound containing C, H, and O yielded 0.127 text g of textH_2textO and 0.307 text g of textCO_2. The mass percentages of hydrogen and oxygen in the given organic compound respectively are:
  • A. 53.41, 39.6
  • B. 6.72, 53.41
  • C. 7.55, 43.85
  • D. 6.72, 39.87

Solution

### Related Formula Percentage of Hydrogen in organic analysis: \%textH = frac218 times fractextMass of H_2OtextMass of Compound times 100 Percentage of Carbon: \%textC = frac1244 times fractextMass of CO_2textMass of Compound times 100 Percentage of Oxygen: \%textO = 100 - (\%textC + \%textH) ### Execution Step 1: Compute the mass percent of Hydrogen: \%textH = frac218 times frac0.1270.210 times 100 = frac0.2543.78 approx 6.72\% Step 2: Compute the mass percent of Carbon: \%textC = frac1244 times frac0.3070.210 times 100 = frac3.6849.24 approx 39.87\% Step 3: Deduce the remaining mass percent of Oxygen: \%textO = 100 - (39.87 + 6.72) = 100 - 46.59 = 53.41\% Thus, the values of hydrogen and oxygen percentage are 6.72\% and 53.41\%, matches with Option (2). ### Pattern Recognition Always focus on the order requested by the question stem. The query specifies 'hydrogen and oxygen respectively'. Option 2 and Option 4 both show these numbers but reversed—verifying the targeted sequence protects your score line. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q42 2025 Qualitative Analysis of Functional Groups
Match the reagents in LIST-I with the corresponding chemical functional groups they detect in LIST-II:
LIST-I (Reagent)LIST-II (Functional Group detected)
A. Sodium bicarbonate solutionI. double bond / unsaturation
B. Neutral ferric chlorideII. carboxylic acid
C. Ceric ammonium nitrateIII. phenolic - OH
D. Alkaline textKMnO_4IV. alcoholic - OH
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. textA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
  • B. textA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
  • C. textA-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
  • D. textA-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Solution

### Core Logic Let us review the chemical basis for each qualitative test: * **A. Sodium bicarbonate (textNaHCO_3) solution**: Carboxylic acids are sufficiently acidic to decompose textNaHCO_3, liberating carbon dioxide gas observed as vigorous effervescence. Therefore, textA rightarrow textII. * **B. Neutral ferric chloride (textFeCl_3)**: Phenols react with neutral textFeCl_3 solution to form characteristic deeply colored violet coordination complexes. Therefore, textB rightarrow textIII. * **C. Ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN)**: Alcohols react with CAN reagent to cause a distinct color shift to deep dark red due to complexation. Therefore, textC rightarrow textIV. * **D. Alkaline textKMnO_4 (Baeyer's Reagent)**: Reacts readily via syn-hydroxylation across carbon-carbon double/triple bonds, resulting in decolored solutions alongside brown textMnO_2 precipitates. This detects unsaturation. Therefore, textD rightarrow textI. ### Step 1: Assembly Combining the validated relationships gives: textA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I This maps perfectly to Option (1). ### Pattern Recognition Baeyer's test (alkaline textKMnO_4) always tests for alkenes/alkynes. textNaHCO_3 is unique for acidic groups like carboxylic acids. Matching these two reliable pairs isolates the correct option without needing to review the entire table. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques Class 12 Chemistry: Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers
Q28 2025 Chromatographic Techniques
Given below are two statements: Statement (I): In partition chromatography, stationary phase is thin film of liquid present in the inert support. Statement (II): In paper chromatography, the material of paper acts as a stationary phase. 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. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • C. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  • D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

### Core Logic Statement I is true: In partition chromatography, the stationary phase is indeed a thin film of liquid held on the surface of an inert solid support. Statement II is false: In paper chromatography, the water molecules trapped inside the cellulose network of the paper act as the stationary phase, not the paper material itself. ### Pattern Recognition Remember that paper chromatography is a type of partition chromatography where moisture content (water) adsorbed on the paper serves as the stationary liquid phase. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Q38 2025 Sigma and Pi Bond Counting
Total number of sigma (sigma) and pi(pi) bonds respectively present in hex-1-en-4-yne are:
  • A. 13 and 3
  • B. 11 and 3
  • C. 3 and 13
  • D. 14 and 3

Solution

### Core Logic The structural formula of hex-1-en-4-yne is given by: CH_2 = CH - CH_2 - C equiv C - CH_3 Let's count the chemical bonds chronologically: * Number of C-H sigma bonds = 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 8 * Number of C-C sigma bonds = 5 Total sigma bonds = 8 + 5 = 13.
