Intext Questions Pg-358
Question 1.

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling points.

CH3CHO, CH3CH2OH, CH3OCH3, CH3CH2CH3


Answer:

The molecular masses of the given compounds are in the range of 44-66 g/mol. The second molecule, CH3CH2OH contains OH alcoholic group due to which it undergoes extensive H bonding with each other, leading to the association of the molecules. Therefore it has a highest boiling point. In the molecule CH3CHO , there is strong intermolecular dipole-dipole attraction due to presence of -CHO aldehydic group( as H will have partial positive charge and oxygen will have partial negative charge , so there will attraction between molecules),which is weak in case of CH3OCH3 as both CH3 groups have +I effect which results in decrease in electron affinity for the oxygen attached to it( with no partially positive H atom). And in CH3CH2CH3 there are only weak van der Waals forces of attraction. So the compounds in increasing order of their boiling point are:

CH3CH2CH3<CH3OCH3<CH3CHO<CH3CH2OH.




Intext Questions Pg-365
Question 1.

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic addition reactions.

Ethanal, Propanal, Propanone, Butanone.

Hint: Consider steric effect and electronic effect.


Answer:

The +I effect increases in the order as:


Ethanal<Propanal<Propanone<Butanone.



Therefore the electron density of the carbonyl carbon increases as the +I effect due to the alkyl group increases. As a result, the chances of attack by a nucleophile (which are rich in electron and carries a negative charge, not necessary usually have a lone pair of an electron) decreases because the carbonyl carbon has electron density on it. Hence the increasing order of the reactivities of given compounds in nucleophilic addition reaction is:


Ethanal > Propanal> Propanone > Butanone.



Question 2.

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic addition reactions.

Benzaldehyde, p-Tolualdehyde, p-Nitrobenzaldehyde, Acetophenone.

Hint: Consider steric effect and electronic effect.


Answer:


The +I effect is more in ketone than in aldehyde because in ketone there are 2 alkyl groups contributing in the +I effect whereas in aldehydes there is only one alkyl group. Hence, acetophenone(being ketone group attached to it) is the least reactive in nucleophilic addition reactions. Among aldehydes, the +I effect is the highest in p-tolualdehyde because of the presence of the electron-donating –CH3 group(which increase the electron density on the carbonyl carbon via resonance through the benzene ring) and the lowest in p-nitrobenzaldehyde because of the presence of the electron-withdrawing –NO2 group(which decreases the electron density on the carbonyl carbon via resonance through the benzene ring). Hence, the increasing order of the reactivities of the given compounds is:


Acetophenone<p-tolualdehyde<Benzaldehyde<p-Nitrobenzaldehyde



Question 3.

Predict the products of the following reactions:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)


Answer:

(i)


Cyclopentanone reacts with hydroxylamine to give cyclopentanone oxime. As you can see the cyclopentanone has ketone functional group with oxygen attached to carbonyl carbon and the hydroxylamine has two H atoms attached to N. And hence in the product this O and two H atoms are removed and form a water molecule.


(ii)



(iii)



(iv)



Trick: remember if any aldehyde or ketone bearing compound reacts with primary or secondary amine then for finding the product formed simply remove the oxygen atom from the aldehyde or ketone functional group and two H atoms attached to N in amines and add a double bond between C and N.




Intext Questions Pg-367
Question 1.

Question 2.

Give the IUPAC names of the following compounds:

(CH3)2C = CHCOOH


Answer:

The longest chain contains 4 carbon atom with a methyl group as a substituent and a carboxylic acid as a functional group. The no. Of the chain starts from the carbon atom of the –COOH group with double bond on carbon 2 so the IUPAC name of the compound is 3-Methylbut-2-enoic acid.



Question 3.

Answer:

The longest chain has 5 carbon atom(all are saturated) which are cyclic with the carboxylic group attached and a methyl group as a substituent. The no. Of the chain starts from the carbon atom of the –COOH group so the IUPAC name of the compound is 2-Methylcyclopentane carboxylic acid.

Intext Questions Pg-376
Question 1.

Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?

CH3CO2H or CH2FCO2H


Answer:

The +I effect of –CH3 group increases the electron density on the O-H bond. Therefore, the release of proton becomes difficult. On the other hand, the -I effect of F decreases the electron density on the O-H bond. Therefore, the proton can be released easily. Hence, CH2FCO2H is a stronger acid than CH3CO2H.


NOTE:A strong acid is an acid which dissociates completely releasing almost all of its protons in the solution.




Question 2.

Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?

CH2FCO2H or CH2ClCO2H


Answer:

F has stronger -I effect than Cl(as fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine). Therefore, CH2FCO2H can release proton more easily than CH2ClCO2H. Hence, CH2FCO2H is a stronger acid than CH2ClCO2H.




Question 3.

Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?

CH2FCH2CH2CO2H or CH3CHFCH2CO2H


Answer:

Inductive effect decreases with increase in distance(the more will be the distance of the inductive group from the carboxylic group less will be its effect of polarisability). Hence, the -I effect of F in CH3CHFCH2CO2H is more than it is in CH2FCH2CH2CO2H . Hence, CH3CHFCH2CO2H is a stronger acid than CH2FCH2CH2CO2H .




Question 4.

Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger?



Answer:

Due to the -I effect of F(being electronegative), it is easier to release proton in the case of compound (A). However, in the case of compound (B), the release of the proton is difficult due to the +I effect of –CH3 i.e. methyl group. Hence, (A) is a stronger acid than (B).

An organic compound with the molecular formula C9H10O forms 2,4-DNP derivative, reduces Tollens’ reagent and undergoes Cannizzaro reaction. On vigorous oxidation, it gives 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid. Identify the compound.


Answer:

Since the given compound with molecular formula C9H10O form a 2,4-DNP derivative and reduce Tollen’s reagent, it must be an aldehyde. Since it undergoes cannizzaro reaction, therefore CHO group is directly attached to the benzene ring.


Since on vigorous oxidation, it gives 1,2-benzene dicarboxylic acid, therefore it must be ortho-substituted benzaldehyde. The only o-substituted aromatic aldehyde having molecular formula C9H10O is o—ethyl benzyldehyde all the reaction can show now be explained on the basis of this structure-

Br group will show +I effect along the chain but as I effect is distance dependent effect it will die as the distance increase.+I effect of alkyl group will reduce the acidity of a compound whereas –I effect will increase the acidity,I effects are distance dependent, correct order will be (CH3)2CHCOOH< CH3CH2CH2COOH< CH3CH(Br)CH2COOH < CH3CH2CH(Br)COOH.



Question 52.

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated:

Benzoic acid, 4-Nitrobenzoic acid, 3,4-Dinitrobenzoic acid, 4-Methoxybenzoic acid (acid strength)

Although phenoxide ion has more number of resonating structures than carboxylate ion, the carboxylic acid is a stronger acid than phenol. Why?


Answer:

Resonating structures of phenoxide are-


In structure I and V –ve charge is on E.N. Oxygen, in other cases, it is on Less E.N Carbon hence they contribute less towards stability. And the –ve charge is localized.


Resonating structures of carboxylic acid-



Both the structures have –ve charge on oxygen and electron are delocalised too hence, the carboxylic acid is more stable and acidic than phenol.
