On mixing a certain alkane with chlorine and irradiating it with ultraviolet light, it forms only one monochloroalkane.This alkane could be
-
Solution
In neopentane all the H atoms are same (1º).
The reaction of ethyl magnesium bromide with water would give
-
Solution
What will be the product in the following reaction?
-
Solution
Which one of the following reactions is expected to readily give a hydrocarbon product in good yields ?
-
Solution
Electrolysis of a concentrated aqueous solution of either sodium or potassium salts of saturated mono-carboxylic acids yields higher alkane at anode.
At anode 2RCOO- + 2RCOO + 2e- →R-R + 2CO2
At Cathode 2K++2e-→2K
2k+H2O→2KOH+H2↑
In the free radical chlorination of methane, the chain initiating step involves the formation of
-
Solution
By which one of the following compounds both CH4 and CH3– CH3 can be prepared in one step?
-
Solution
CH3I is the compound.
CH3I+HI→CH4I2
CH3I+2Na+ICH3→CH3.CH3+2NaI
When CH3Cl and AlCl3 are used in Friedel-Crafts reaction,the electrophile is
-
Solution
CH3Cl + AlCl3→CH3++AlCl4-
Here the electrophile is alkyl carbonium ion.
Reactivity of hydrogen atoms attached to different carbon atoms in alkanes has the order
-
Solution
The reactivity of H-atoms depends upon the stability of free radicals follows the order :Tertiary > secondary > primary, therefore, reactivity of H-atoms follows the same order,i.e., tertiary > secondary> primary.
In Wurtz reaction if we take CH3Cl and C2H5Cl then product,will be-
-
Solution
Which of the following react with KMnO4 to produce pyruvic acid?
-
Solution
Since Pyruvic acid has three carbons
it can be prepared by propyne.
