In order to get ethanethiol from C2H5Br,{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{Br}, the reagent used is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
NaHS\mathrm{NaHS}
Option B (NaHS\mathrm{NaHS}) is correct because NaHS (sodium hydrosulfide) will react with ethyl bromide to form ethanethiol through a nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Protin solvent is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Ethanol
Option D (Ethanol) is correct because protic solvents are those that contain an O-H or N-H bond, and ethanol (C2H5OHC_2H_5OH) has an O-H bond.

Amongst the following which of the above are true for SN2  {S_N}2\; reaction?
(i) The rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile.

(ii) The nucleophile attacks the carbon atom on the side of the molecule opposite to the group being displaced.

(iii) the reaction proceeds with simultaneous bond formation and bond rupture
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
(ii), (iii)
Option D ((ii), (iii)) is correct because S\N2 reactions are bimolecular, meaning the rate depends on both the substrate and nucleophile, and they proceed with inversion of configuration through a transition state.

Incorrect match is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
DDT – Fat insoluble
Option D (DDT – Fat insoluble) is the incorrect match because DDT is actually fat-soluble, which is one of the reasons it accumulates in the environment and in living organisms.

Ulmann’s reaction is used for the preparation of:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Diphenyl
Option A (Diphenyl) is correct because Ullmann's reaction involves the coupling of aryl halides in the presence of copper to form biaryls, such as diphenyl.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
D>C>B>AD > C > B > A
Option A is correct because the reactivity of nucleophiles in SN2 reactions depends on their basicity and steric hindrance. More basic and less hindered nucleophiles are more reactive.

Bottles containing C6H5I{C}_6 {H}_5 {I} and C6H5CH2I{C}_6 {H}_5 {CH}_2 {I} lost their original labels. They were labelled AA and BB for testing. AA and BB were separately taken in test tubes and boiled with NaOH{NaOH} solution. The end solution in each tube was made acidic with dilute HNO3{HNO}_3 and then some AgNO3{AgNO}_3 solution was added. Substance B{B} gave a yellow precipitate. Which one of the following statements is true for this experiment ?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
AA was C6H5I{C}_6 {H}_5 {I}
Option D (AA was C6H5I{C}_6 {H}_5 {I}) is correct because phenyl iodide will react with NaOH to produce iodide ions, which will then precipitate with silver nitrate as yellow AgI.

Which of the following does not react with benzene in presence of anhydrous AlCl3\mathrm{AlC}{\mathrm{l}_3}?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
C6H5Cl{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{Cl}
Option A (C6H5Cl{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{Cl}) does not react with benzene in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3AlCl_3 because the resulting phenyl cation is highly unstable and does not readily form.

Ethyl chloride on heating with AgCN forms a compound X. The functional isomer of X is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
C2H5CN{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{CN}
Option C (C2H5CN{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{CN}) is correct because ethyl chloride reacts with AgCN to form ethyl isocyanide (C2H5NCC_2H_5NC), and the functional isomer of ethyl isocyanide is ethyl cyanide (C2H5CNC_2H_5CN).

Chloroform on reaction with conc. HNO3\mathrm{HN}{\mathrm{O}_3} gives an insecticide and war gas known as:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Chloropicrin
Option A (Chloropicrin) is correct because chloroform reacts with concentrated nitric acid to produce chloropicrin, which is both an insecticide and a war gas.

Which of the following will not form a yellow precipitate on heating with an alkaline solution of iodine?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
CH3OH\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OH}
Option C (CH3OH\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OH}) is correct because it does not contain either the CH3CO−CH_3CO- or CH3CH(OH)−CH_3CH(OH)- group required for a positive iodoform test.

In a SN2S{N^2} Substitution reaction, which of the following has the highest relative rate
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
CH3CH2BrC{H_3}C{H_2}Br
Option D (CH3CH2BrC{H_3}C{H_2}Br) is correct because S\N2 reactions are favored by less steric hindrance, and ethyl bromide is the least sterically hindered among the given options.

Aryl halides are less reactive towards electrophiles than alkyl halides due to:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Resonance
Option A (Resonance) is correct because aryl halides exhibit resonance, which stabilizes the molecule and makes the carbon-halogen bond stronger, thus less reactive towards electrophiles.

CH3CH2CH2Br+NaCN→CH3CH2CH2CN+NaBrC{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}Br + NaCN \to C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}CN + NaBr
The above reaction will occur at fastest rate in
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
DMF
Option D (DMF) is correct because DMF is a polar aprotic solvent, which favors SN2 reactions by solvating the cation but not the anion, thus increasing the nucleophilicity of CN-.

Polymerization of alkenes takes place through
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
S N2S\,{N^2} mechanism
Option A (free radical mechanism) is correct because the polymerization of alkenes typically proceeds through a free radical mechanism, especially when initiated by peroxides or high temperatures.
