Short Answer Type
20. Why do alkenes prefer to undergo electrophilic addition reactions while arenes prefer electrophilic substitution reactions? Explain.
Ans: If arenes would undergo electrophilic addition reaction then they would lose their aromaticity which would lead to comparatively less stability. However, alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reaction via carbocation intermediate.
21. Alkynes on reduction with sodium in liquid ammonia form trans alkenes. Will the butene thus formed on reduction of 2-butyne show the geometrical isomerism?
Ans: Yes, it will execute geometrical isomerism as the product formed can be either cis-2-butene or trans-2-butene.
22. Rotation around carbon-carbon single bond of ethane is not completely free. Justify the statement.
Ans: Therotation around C-C single bond is possible but it is not completely free due to the torsional strain which is about 1-20 KJ mol-1.
23. Draw Newman and Sawhorse projections for the eclipsed and staggered conformations of ethane. Which of these conformations is more stable and why?
Ans:
The staggered conformation is more stable because of comparatively less torsional strain.
24. The intermediate carbocation formed in the reactions of HI, HBr and HCl with propene is the same and the bond energy of HCl, HBr and HI is 430.5 kJ mol–1, 363.7 kJ mol–1 and 296.8 kJ mol–1 respectively. What will be the order of reactivity of these halogen acids?
Ans: The rate-determining step involved in the reaction is
CH3-CH=CH2 + HX → CH3-CH+-CH3 + X–
So the rate-determining step depends on the bond energy of HX i.e. higher the bond energy lesser would be reactivity.
Thus the order of reactivity of these halogen acids is
HI>HBr>HCl
25. What will be the product obtained as a result of the following reaction and why?
Ans: Thebenzene here would undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction where carbocation is formed as an intermediate, thus secondary carbocation is formed as an intermediate due to its greater stability than that of the primary carbocation.
The final product obtained is

Long Answer Type
48. An alkyl halide C5H11Br (A) reacts with ethanolic KOH to give an alkene ‘B’, which reacts with Br2 to give a compound ‘C’, which on dehydrobromination gives an alkyne ‘D’. On treatment with sodium metal in liquid ammonia one mole of ‘D’ gives one mole of the sodium salt of ‘D’ and half a mole of hydrogen gas. Complete hydrogenation of ‘D’ yields a straight chain alkane. Identify A,B, C and D. Give the reactions invovled.
Ans:
49. 896 mL vapour of a hydrocarbon ‘A’ having carbon 87.80% and hydrogen 12.19% weighs 3.28g at STP. Hydrogenation of ‘A’ gives 2-methylpentane. Also ‘A’ on hydration in the presence of H2SO4 and HgSO4 gives a ketone ‘B’ having molecular formula C6H12O. The ketone ‘B’ gives a positive iodoform test. Find the structure of ‘A’ and give the reactions involved.
Ans: The molar mass of the compound =
3.28×22400
896
3.28×22400896
= 831gmol-1
Element | Percentage | At.mass | Relative ratio | Simplest ratio |
---|---|---|---|---|
C | 87.8% | 12 | 7.31 | 3 |
H | 12.19% | 1 | 12.19 | 5 |
Thus the empirical formula of the compound is C3H5
Molecular formula =n x empirical formula = (831/41) x C3H5 = C6H10
50. An unsaturated hydrocarbon ‘A’ adds two molecules of H2 and on reductive ozonolysis gives butane-1,4-dial, ethanal and propanone. Give the structure of ‘A’, write its IUPAC name and explain the reactions involved.

51. In the presence of peroxide addition of HBr to propene takes place according to anti Markovnikov’s rule but peroxide effect is not seen in the case of HCl and HI. Explain.
Ans: The bond energy of HCl is higher than that of HBr thus it is not cleaved by free radical mechanism to exhibit peroxide effect. However in case of HI the bond energy is so low that the iodine radical forms readily and after formation it combines to form an iodine molecule.
