91.
Which of the following can be used to distinguish aldehydes and ketones?
A
$${\text{Fehling's solution}}$$
B
$${H_2}S{O_4}\,{\text{solution}}$$
C
$$NaHS{O_3}$$
D
$$N{H_3}$$
Answer :
$${\text{Fehling's solution}}$$
All aldehydes give red ppt. with Fehling's solution but ketones do not reduce Fehling's solution.
92.
In which of the following the number of carbon atoms does not remain same when carboxylic acid is obtained by oxidation?
A
$$C{H_3}COC{H_3}$$
B
$$CC{l_3}C{H_2}CHO$$
C
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}OH$$
D
$$C{H_3}C{H_2}CHO$$
Answer :
$$C{H_3}COC{H_3}$$
Ketones are not easily oxidised. However, under drastic conditions or with powerful oxidising agents such as $$conc.\,\,HN{O_3},\,KMn{O_4}/{H_2}S{O_4}$$ or $${K_2}C{r_2}{O_7}/{H_2}S{O_4},$$ cleavage of carbon-carbon bond takes place giving a mixture of carboxylic acids having less number of carbon atoms than the original ketone.

Pinacolone is
A
2, 3 - dimethyl - 2, 3 - butanediol
B
3, 3 - dimethyl - 2 - butanon
C
1 - phenyl - 2 - propanone
D
1, 1 - diphenyl - 2 - ethanediol
Answer :
3, 3 - dimethyl - 2 - butanon
The structure of pinacolone is
So, its $$IUPAC$$ name is 3, 3 - dimethyl - 2 - butanone (Colourless liquid) (Camphor odour)
94. \[\xrightarrow[\left( 1\,eq. \right)]{PhMgBr}\,\,\xrightarrow[\left( 1\,eq. \right)]{C{{H}_{3}}MgBr}\,\,\xrightarrow[\left( 1\,eq. \right)]{{{H}^{+}}/{{H}_{2}}O}\] Product.
The product formed in the reaction is –
A
B
C
D
Answer :
95.
The increasing order of the rate of $$HCN$$ addition to compound $$A - D$$ is
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\text{i}} \right)HCHO \cr
& \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)C{H_3}COC{H_3} \cr
& \left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)PhCOC{H_3} \cr
& \left( {{\text{iv}}} \right)PhCOPh \cr} $$
A
(iv) < (iii) < (ii) < (i)
B
(iii) < (iv) < (ii) < (i)
C
(i) < (ii) < (iii) < (iv)
D
(iv) < (ii) < (iii) < (i)
Answer :
(iv) < (iii) < (ii) < (i)
NOTE: Addition of $$HCN$$ to carbonyl compounds is nucleophilic addition reaction. The order of reactivity of carbonyl compounds is
Aldehydes (smaller to higher) Ketones ( smaller to higher ), Then $$HCHO > C{H_3}COC{H_3} > Ph.COC{H_3} > PhCOPh$$
NOTE : The lower reactivity of Ketones is due to presence of two alkyl group which shows $$ + I$$ effect. The reactivity of Ketones decreases as the size ofalkyl group increases.
96.
Which of the following statements is not correct?
A
Aldehydes and ketones are functional isomers.
B
Formaldehyde reacts with ammonia to form hexamethylenetetramine.
C
$$LiAl{H_4}$$ converts ketones into $$sec$$ -alcohols.
D
Ethanal and propanal give positive iodoform test.
Answer :
Ethanal and propanal give positive iodoform test.
Ethanal gives iodoform test while propanal does not give iodoform test.
97.
What is the test to differentiate between pentan -2-one and pentan-3-one?
A
Iodoform test
B
Benedict's test
C
Fehling's test
D
Aldol condensation
Answer :
Iodoform test
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\parallel \\
O
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-C-}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}+{{I}_{2}}\] \[+NaOH\to \text{No reaction}\]
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\parallel \\
O
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-C-}}\,C{{H}_{3}}+{{I}_{2}}\] \[+NaOH\to \underset{\text{Yellow ppt}\text{.}}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,\]
