This question is from 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 & Explanation
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.

Qjee_main_2025_03_april_morningQuantitative Analysis - Estimation of Carbon
0.5 g of an organic compound on combustion gave 1.46 g of CO₂$CO_{2}$ and 0.9 g of H₂O$H_{2}O$. The percentage of carbon in the compound is _____. (Nearest integer)
[Given: Molar mass (in g mol⁻¹$\text{g mol}^{-1}$) C: 12, H: 1, O: 16]
Numerical Answer.Answer: 80 to 80
Solution
Related Formula
The percentage of carbon via combustion analysis is given by:
% C = (12)/(44) × Mass of CO₂Mass of organic compound × 100$$\%\text{ C} = \frac{12}{44} \times \frac{\text{Mass of }\text{CO}_2}{\text{Mass of organic compound}} \times 100$$
Core Logic
Let us substitute the given parameters:
Mass of organic compound = 0.5 g$= 0.5\text{ g}$
Mass of CO₂$\text{CO}_2$ collected = 1.46 g$= 1.46\text{ g}$
Shortcut: (12)/(44) ≈ 0.2727$\frac{12}{44} \approx 0.2727$. Multiply 0.2727 × 1.46$0.2727 \times 1.46$ to find the mass of carbon (≈ 0.398 g$\approx 0.398\text{ g}$). Since 0.398 g$0.398\text{ g}$ out of 0.5 g$0.5\text{ g}$ is roughly (4)/(5)$\frac{4}{5}$, the value is right around 80%$80\%$.

The correct order of basicity for the following molecules is:
The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.
A.P > Q > R$P > Q > R$
B.R > P > Q$R > P > Q$
C.Q > P > R$Q > P > R$
D.R > Q > P$R > Q > P$
Solution
Related Formula
Basicity ∝ Availability of lone pair of electrons on Nitrogen$$\text{Basicity} \propto \text{Availability of lone pair of electrons on Nitrogen}$$
Core Logic
Analyzing the molecules:
In molecule (R), according to Bredt's rule, the bridgehead nitrogen has a localized lone pair which cannot participate in resonance. Thus, it is highly available and most basic.
In molecule (Q), the nitrogen lone pair is involved in cross-conjugation with the carbonyl group, reducing its availability.
In molecule (P), the lone pair on nitrogen is directly conjugated with the carbonyl group (amide resonance), making it the least available.
Therefore, the correct basicity order is:
R > Q > P$R > Q > P$
Step 1: Final Identification
The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.
The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.
The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.
Comparing availability, structure R has localized electrons, Q has cross-conjugation, and P has standard amide resonance. Hence, option (4) is correct.
Pattern Recognition
Look for localized vs delocalized lone pairs on nitrogen. Bridgehead nitrogen lone pairs that violate Bredt's rule for double bond formation remain strictly localized, drastically increasing basicity compared to conjugated amides.

Stability ∝ Delocalization of charge via resonance, mesomeric, and back-bonding effects$$\text{Stability} \propto \text{Delocalization of charge via resonance, mesomeric, and back-bonding effects}$$
Core Logic
Evaluating each specific structural pair:
Pair (A): The first carbocation is stabilized by strong +M$+M$ back-bonding from the methoxy (-OMe$-OMe$) oxygen lone pair, making it significantly more stable than the second.
Pair (B): The first carbanion is strongly stabilized by the -M$-M$ and -I$-I$ electronic effects of the nitro (-NO₂$-NO_2$) group situated at the ortho position, whereas a carbocation in that spot would be destabilized. Thus, the first ion is more stable.
Pair (C): The second cation has extended allylic resonance stabilization, meaning the first is less stable.
Pair (D): Cation with -OMe$-OMe$ backbonding is more stable than tertiary aliphatic carbocation, making the first less stable than the second.
Thus, only in (A) & (B) is the first ion more stable than the second.
Pattern Recognition
Back-bonding from an adjacent oxygen lone pair always triumphs over standard inductive or hyperconjugative alkyl stability templates. For carbanions, ensure electron-withdrawing groups like -NO₂$-NO_2$ match the sign of the charge.

Solution
Core Logic
Analyzing the mechanism:
Protonation (H^+$H^+$ attack) on the double bond occurs to generate the most stable intermediate carbocation.
The system forms a highly stable tertiary (3^°$3^\circ$) carbocation at the bridge junction ring site.
Nucleophilic attack by bromide ion (Br^-$Br^-$) captures this bridge junction center selectively, yielding the major brominated structure designated as Structure (2).
Step 1: Mechanism Breakdown
The prompt visually depicts a polycyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon system reacting to form compound X.
The prompt visually depicts a polycyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon system reacting to form compound X.
Electrophilic addition follows Markovnikov-like stability rules, directing the halide specifically to the bridgehead junction carbocation position.
Pattern Recognition
Whenever adding hydrohalic acids across cyclic non-conjugated dienes or isolated double bonds, always convert the alkene into the most stable, un-strained tertiary carbocation before attaching the nucleophile.

Principal Functional Group Priority: -OH > Double bond (=) ≥ Triple bond (≡)$$\text{Principal Functional Group Priority: } -OH > \text{Double bond (=)} \ge \text{Triple bond (}\equiv\text{)}$$
Core Logic
Number the seven-carbon parent chain from the side that gives the principal functional group (-OH$-OH$) and double bond the lowest locants:
Numbering from right-to-left gives locants: alkene at position 1, alcohol at 4, and alkyne at 6.
Numbering from left-to-right gives locants: alkyne at 1, alcohol at 4, alkene at 6.
According to IUPAC rules, when choices are symmetric for the principal group, the lower locant is given to the double bond over the triple bond. Hence, right-to-left numbering is correct:
When terminal unsaturations are tied symmetrically (positions 1 and 6), the alkene ('en') takes prefix allocation priority over the alkyne ('yn'). The secondary alcohol suffix '-ol' forms the principal name ending.
