Free Objective Test 02 Practice Test - 11th and 12th 

Question 1

Conversion of  CH4 to CH3Cl  is an example of which of the following reaction?

A.

Electrophilic substitution

B.

Free radical addition

C.

Free radical addition

D.

Free radical substituion

SOLUTION

Solution : D

When methane gas is treated with chlorine in the presence of sunlight, onE hydrogen of methane is replaced by the chlorine atom and forms methyl chloride.

The mechanism involved in this reaction is the free radical mechanism.

So it is an example of free radical substitution reaction.

None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : D

CH2||CH|Cl +HCl      CH3|CH      Cl     Cl

                            (1,1-dichloroethane) 


It is an addition reaction which is according to Markownikoff rule.

Question 3

The nitration of a compound is due to the?

 

A.

NO2

B.

NO3

C.

NO

D.

NO+2

SOLUTION

Solution : D

The process of nitration takes place as below

HONO2+2H2SO4 H3O+ +2HSO4 + NO+2

                                                                                                  (nitronium ion) 

The electrophile responsible for nitration is

              NO+2 ion.

Question 4

Which of the following can't be used in Friedal Craft's reactions?

A.

FeCl3

B.

FeBr2

C.

AlCl3

D.

NaCl

SOLUTION

Solution : D

All cations are expected to act as Lewis acid since they are electron deficient in nature.

However, cations such as Na+,K+etc. (Inert gas configuration) have a very little tendency to accept electrons.

Therefore they do not acts as lewis acids in Friedel Craft's reaction.

Question 5

Which of the following is a polar compound?

 

A.

C2H6

B.

CCl4

C.

HCl

D.

CH4

SOLUTION

Solution : C

We know that there is more difference in the electronegativities of hydrogen and chlorine. Therefore HCl is a polar compound.

A.

sp2 and sp2

B.

sp3 and sp

C.

sp and sp2

D.

sp  and  sp

SOLUTION

Solution : A

sp and sp2

NspC1sp2CH2=C3H2

Question 10

Shape of the methane molecule is ________.

A. square planar
B. tetrahedral
C. trigonal planar
D. pyramidal

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell. In methane molecule, the carbon atom forms covalent bonds with four different hydrogen atoms. There are no lone pairs on carbon atom. Therefore, the four hydrogen atoms are arranged at four corners of tetrahedron and carbon at the centre of the tetrahedron. The structure of methane molecule is tetrahedral.

Question 11

Dehydrohalogenation of an alkyl halide is a/an?

A.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction

B.

Elimination reaction

C.

Both nucleophilic substitution and elimination reaction

D.

Rearrangement

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Dehydrohalogenation of an alkyl halide in the presence of alcoholic potash is an example of elimination reaction.

RCH2CH2Cl + KOHalc Δ

                                                               RCH =CH2+KCl+H2O

Question 12

Among the following compounds, the one which can be dehydrated very easily is?

A.

CH3  CH2  CH3|C|OHCH2CH3

B.

CH3  CH2  CH2  OH|CH  CH3

C.

CH3  CH2  CH2  CH2  CH2  OH

D.

CH3  CH2  CH|CH3  CH2  CH2  OH

SOLUTION

Solution : A

CH3  CH2  CH3|C|OHCH2CH3   H+

                                                                             CH3  CH2 CH3|C|CH2CH3

Higher the stability of the carbocation, more easily it will be dehydrated.

Question 14

Which one of the following orders is correct regarding the inductive effect of the substituents?

A.

NR2<OR>F

B.

NR2>OR>F

C.

NR2<OR<F

D.

NR2>OR<F

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Relative inductive effects have been experimentally measured with reference to hydrogen, in decreasing order of -I effect or increasing order of +I effect, as follows:

–NH3+ > –NO2 > –SO2R > –CN > –SO3H > –CHO > –CO > –COOH > –COCl> –CONH2 >
–F > –Cl > –Br > –I > –OR > -OH > –NH2 > –C6H5 > –CH=CH2 > –H

From this, you can get the required answer.
