19. Why is there a large difference in the boiling points of butanal and butane-1-ol?

24. Benzaldehyde can be obtained from benzal chloride. Write reactions for obtaining benzyl chloride and then benzaldehyde from it.

Solution:

NCERT Exemplar Solutions of Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 12 Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids-18

Toluene is first converted to benzal chloride by side-chain chlorination, in presence of Chlorine gas and light. Benzal chloride on hydrolysis at 373K gives benzaldehyde.

25. Name the electrophile produced in the reaction of benzene with benzoyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3. Name the reaction also.

Solution:

The electrophile produced in the reaction of benzene with benzoyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 is benzoylinium cation. The product formed in this react ion is benzophenone. This reaction is called Friedel Craft’s acylation reaction.

26. Oxidation of ketones involves carbon-carbon bond cleavage. Name the products formed on oxidation of 2, 5-dimethylhexan-3-one.

Solution:

The products formed on oxidation of 2, 5-dimethylhexan-3-one are the mixtures of ketone and carboxylic acids. Ketone is then further oxidized to carboxylic acids. Overall the products formed in this reaction are 2-Methylpropanoic acid, 3-Methylbutanoic acid, ethanoic acid and methanoic acid.

27. Arrange the following in decreasing order of their acidic strength and give the reason for your answer.CH3CH2OH, CH3COOH, ClCH2COOH, FCH2COOH, C6H5CH2COOH

Solution:

FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > C6H5CH2COOH > CH3COOH > CH3CH2OH.

CH3CH2OH is least acidic among the given compounds. C6H5CH2COOH is more acidic than CH3COOH due to the resonance in C6H5CH2COOH. FCH2COOH and ClCH2COOH are highly acidic due to the –I effect of halogen.

28. What product will be formed on reaction of propanal with 2-methyl propanal in the presence of NaOH? What products will be formed? Write the name of the reaction also.

Solution:

When propanal reacts with 2-methyl propanal in the presence of NaOH, the mixture of aldehydes are formed. Both the reactants have an alpha-hydrogen and hence, can undergo cross aldol reaction in the presence of NaOH.

29. Compound ‘A’ was prepared by oxidation of compound ‘B’ with alkaline KMnO4. Compound ‘A’ on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gets converted back to compound ‘B’. When compound ‘A’ is heated with compound B in the presence of H2SO4 it produces the fruity smell of compound C to which family the compounds ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ belong to?

Solution:

  • Compound ‘A’ belongs to the carboxylic acid.
  • Compound ‘B’ belongs to alcohol.
  • Compound ‘C’ belongs to an ester group.

30. Arrange the following in decreasing order of their acidic strength. Explain the arrangement. C6H5COOH, FCH2COOH, NO2CH2COOH

Solution:

NO2CH2COOH > FCH2COOH > C6H5COOH.

NO2CH2COOH is most acidic among the given three compounds. Electron withdrawing groups like -NO2, increases the acidity of carboxylic acids by stabilizing the conjugate base through resonance effects

31. Alkenes and carbonyl compounds both contain a π bond but alkenes show electrophilic addition reactions whereas carbonyl compounds show nucleophilic addition reactions. Explain.

NCERT Exemplar Solutions of Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 12 Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids-20

NCERT Exemplar Solutions of Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 12 Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids-21

Solution:

Both the compounds carbon atom is attached to the electronegative atom oxygen. Thus the oxygen pulls more shared pair of electron towards them and a partial positive charge will be acquired by carbon and a partial negative charge by oxygen. So carbonyl atom is attacked by a nucleophile.

32. Carboxylic acids contain carbonyl group but do not show the nucleophilic addition reaction like aldehydes or ketones. Why?

Solution:

The oxygen atom in carbonyl compound pull more shared pair of electron towards itself and so, carbon acquires partial positive charge and oxygen acquires partial negative charge in carbonyl compounds. So, the carbon in the carbonyl atom is attacked by a nucleophile. Due to the resonance, carboxylic acids contain carbonyl group do not show the nucleophilic addition reaction like aldehydes or ketones

33. Identify the compounds A, B and C in the following reaction.

Solution:

a) Compound A = CH3-MgBr

b) Compound B = CH3-COOH

c) Compound C = CH3COOCH3

34. Why are carboxylic acids more acidic than alcohols or phenols although all of them have a hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom (—O—H)?

Solution:

Due to the resonance in carboxylic acids, the negative charge is at the more electronegative oxygen whereas, in alcohols or phenols, the negative charge is on a less electronegative atom. Thus, carboxylic acids can release proton easier than alcohols or phenols.

35. Complete the following reaction sequence.

Solution:

NCERT Exemplar Solutions of Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 12 Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids-23

36. Ethylbenzene is generally prepared by acetylation of benzene followed by reduction and not by direct alkylation. Think of a possible reason.

Solution:

This is due to the formation of polysubstituted products.

To avoid the formation of polysubstituted products Friedel-craft’s alkylation reaction is not used for the preparation of ethylbenzene but one can use Friedel-craft’s acylation reaction.

37. Can Gatterman-Koch reaction be considered similar to Friedel Craft’s acylation? Discuss.

Solution:

Both reactions resemble each other. In Friedel Craft’s acylation reaction, an aryl group or benzene is treated with an acid chloride in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 and corresponding aldehyde or ketone is formed. In Gatterman-Koch reaction, benzene is treated with CO and HCl in the presence of AlCl3 and CuCl to yield benzaldehyde.
