Ketone can be obtained by oxidation of:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Secondary alcohol
Option B (Secondary alcohol) is correct because secondary alcohols oxidize to form ketones.

C6H5CH=CHCHO⟶XC6H5CH=CHCH2OH\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCHO} \stackrel{\mathrm{X}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH}_2 \mathrm{OH} In the above sequence X\mathrm{X} can be :
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
NaBH4\mathrm{NaBH}_4
Option B (NaBH4\mathrm{NaBH}_4) is correct because NaBH4NaBH_4 is a selective reducing agent that reduces aldehydes to primary alcohols without affecting carbon-carbon double bonds.

The reverse of esterification is known as:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Hydrolysis
Option C (Hydrolysis) is correct because hydrolysis is the reverse reaction of esterification, where an ester reacts with water to form a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

Silver mirror test is given by which one of the
following compounds?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Acetaldehyde
Option A (Acetaldehyde) is correct because aldehydes give a positive silver mirror test.

During hydrogenation of oils vegetable ghee is formed. In this process:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Esters of unsaturated fatty acids are reduced to those of saturated acids
Option C is correct because during hydrogenation of oils, the esters of unsaturated fatty acids are reduced to those of saturated acids, which leads to the formation of vegetable ghee.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: The esterification of carboxylic acid with an alcohol is a nucleophilic acyl substitution.

Statement II: Electron withdrawing groups in the carboxylic acid will increase the rate of esterification reaction.

Choose the most appropriate option:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. Esterification is indeed a nucleophilic acyl substitution, and electron-withdrawing groups increase the rate of esterification by stabilizing the transition state.

In Stephen's reduction, which of the following group is converted to −CHO-\mathrm{CHO} group?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
−CN-\mathrm{CN}
Option C (−CN-\mathrm{CN}) is correct because Stephen's reduction specifically reduces nitriles to aldehydes.

In the reaction, HCHO+NH3→X,X\mathrm{HCHO} + \mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3} \to X,X is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
urotropine
Option C (urotropine) is correct because formaldehyde reacts with ammonia to form hexamethylenetetramine, also known as urotropine.
249 Medium

Understanding +4 | -1
Which of the following statement is correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Boiling points of acids are higher than corresponding alcohols.
Option C (Boiling points of acids are higher than corresponding alcohols) is correct because carboxylic acids form stronger hydrogen bonds than alcohols, leading to higher boiling points.

Which of the following aldehydes on chlorination will give a product, which can be used for the synthesis of DDT?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
CH3CHO\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{CHO}
Option B is correct because chlorination of acetaldehyde yields chloral, which is used in the synthesis of DDT.

Which is the incorrect order of increasing acidic strength for the following?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
HCOOH<C6H5COOH\mathrm{HCOOH} < \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COOH}
Option D (HCOOH < C6H5COOH) is the incorrect order because benzoic acid is more acidic than formic acid due to resonance stabilization of the benzoate ion.
252 Easy

The group present in waxes are
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
ester group
Option B (ester group) is correct because waxes are esters of long-chain fatty acids and monohydric alcohols.

Propanoic acid on warming with Cl2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{l}_2} in presence of red P gives:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
CH3CHClCOOH\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{CHClCOOH}
Option A (1.20×10−81.20 \times 10^{-8}) is correct because the number of Einstein units is calculated by dividing the number of photons by Avogadro's number.

NaAlH4{NaAlH}_4 reduces an ester into HCHO{HCHO} and (CH3)2CHOH\left({CH}_3\right)_2 {CHOH}. Thus, ester is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
HCOOCH(CH3)2{HCOOCH}\left({CH}_3\right)_2
Option A (HCOOCH(CH3)2{HCOOCH}({CH}_3)_2) is correct because it's the only ester that reduces to HCHO and (CH3)2CHOH when reacted with NaAlH4{NaAlH}_4.

(CH3)2C=CHCOCH3{\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_2}\mathrm{C} = CHCO\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3} can be oxidised to (CH3)2C=CHCOOH3{\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_2}\mathrm{C} = CHCO\mathrm{O}{\mathrm{H}_3} by:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
NaOI
Option D (NaOI) is correct because sodium hypohalite (NaOI) can oxidize unsaturated ketones to unsaturated acids.
