131.
What is formed when a primary alcohol undergoes catalytic dehydrogenation?
A
Aldehyde
B
Ketone
C
Alkene
D
Acid
Answer :
Aldehyde
Aldehydes can be prepared by the dehydrogenation of primary alcohols. It is carried out by passing the vapour of primary alcohol over redures copper at $$573$$ $$K.$$
$${1^ \circ }$$ alcohol gives aldehyde by catalytic dehydrogenation
e.g.
132.
$$3\,moles$$ of ethanol react with one mole of phosphorus tribromide to form $$3\,moles$$ of bromoethane and one mole of $$X.$$ Which of the following is $$X?$$
133.
In allylic and benzylic alcohols, $$-OH$$ group is attached to
A
$$s{p^3},s{p^3}$$ - hybridised carbon atom respectively
B
$$s{p^2},s{p^3}$$ - hybridised carbon atom respectively
C
$$sp,s{p^2}$$ - hybridised carbon atom respectively
D
$$s{p^2},sp$$ - hybridised carbon atom respectively
Answer :
$$s{p^3},s{p^3}$$ - hybridised carbon atom respectively
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
134.
The compound which reacts fastest with Lucas reagent is ( at room temperature )
A
butan-1-$$ol$$
B
butan-2-$$ol$$
C
2-methyl propan-1-$$ol$$
D
2-methyl propan-2-$$ol$$
Answer :
2-methyl propan-2-$$ol$$
In Lucas test when Lucas reagent is treated with
$${1^ \circ },{2^ \circ }$$ and $${3^ \circ }$$ alcohols, then turbidity appears, if turbidity is appeared immediately, then alcohol is tertiary. 2-methyl propan-2-$$ol$$ is a tertiary alcohol. Hence, it reacts fastest with Lucas reagent.
135.
Ethers have lower boiling points than their corresponding isomeric alcohols because of
A
hydrogen bonding in alcohols that is absent in ethers due to low polarity
B
hydrogen bonding in ethers due to high polarity
C
insolubility of ethers in water due to less polarity
D
inertness of ethers as compared to alcohols
Answer :
hydrogen bonding in alcohols that is absent in ethers due to low polarity
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
136.
Methyl alcohol is industrially prepared by the action of
137.
A compound $$X$$ with the molecular formula, $${C_3}{H_8}O$$ can be oxidised to another compound $$Y$$ whose molecular formula is $${C_3}{H_6}{O_2}.$$ The compound $$X$$ may be
A
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}OC{H_3}$$
B
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}CHO$$
C
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}OH$$
D
$$C{H_3}CHOHC{H_3}$$
Answer :
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}OH$$
\[\underset{\left( X \right)}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\xrightarrow{\left[ O \right]}\] \[\underset{\left( Y \right)}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH}}\,\]
138.

A
2, 4, 6 - tribromophenol
B
$$o$$ - bromophenol
C
$$p$$ - bromophenol
D
bromobenzene
Answer :
2, 4, 6 - tribromophenol
Phenol on reaction with excess of bromine water gives a white precipitate of 2, 4, 6 - tribromophenol.
139.
p - cresol reacts with chloroform in alkaline medium to give the compound $$A$$ which adds hydrogen cyanide to form, the compound $$B.$$ The latter on acidic hydrolysis gives chiral carboxylic acid. The structure of the carboxylic acid is
A
B
C
D
Answer :
140.
Which is the best reagent to convert isopropyl alcohol to isopropyl bromide ?
A
$$HBr$$
B
$$SOB{r_2}$$
C
$$B{r_2}$$
D
$$C{H_3}MgBr$$
Answer :
$$SOB{r_2}$$
Side products are gases.
In case of $$HBr$$ elimination also favours to produce alkene.
