Multiple Choice QuestionsAssertion: Phenol is a weaker acid than ethanol.
Reason: Groups with +M effect and -I effect decrease acidity at m-position.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
D.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
Phenol is a stronger acid than ethanol. This is due to the resonance stabilization of the phenolate ion which is produced after deprotonation.
But there is no such stabilization in the case of ethanol.
C2H5OH C2H5O- + H+
The groups with +M and -I effect to decrease the acidity at p-position, but at m-position, the acidity is increased due to -I effect.
Assertion: Ethers behave as bases in the presence of mineral acids.
Reason: It is due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the oxygen.
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both the assertion and reason are false.
A.
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
Due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom, ethers behave as the base and form stable oxonium salts with mineral acids.

Gammexane is
benzene hexachloride
bromo benzene
benzyl chloride
chlorobenzene
A.
benzene hexachloride
Gammexane is benzene hexachloride. Its IUPAC name is 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane.
Aniline on treatment with HCl and NaNO2 gives
diazo salt
nitroaniline
chloroaniline
aminophenol
A.
diazo salt
When aniline is treated with HCl and NaNO2, it forms benzene diazonium chloride. Therefore, it gives diazo salt.
A sample of CHCl3 before using as an anaesthetic is tested by
AgNO3 solution after boiling with KOH
Ammonical cuprous chloride
Fehling solution
AgNO3
D.
AgNO3
Before using CHCl3 as an anaesthetic, it is treated with aqueous solution of AgNO3. A pure sample does not give ppt with aqueous AgNO3.
Dehydration of alcohol involves
carbene
carbanion
free radical
carbonium ion
D.
carbonium ion
The dehydration reaction of alcohols to generate alkene proceeds by heating the alcohols in the presence of a strong acid, such as sulfuric or phosphoric acid, at high temperatures. It involves carbonium ion in its mechanism.
Phenol , in Liebermann's nitroso test , give the colour :
red
yellow
blue
pink
C.
blue
Phenol gives Liebermann's nitroso test to give deep blue colour due to the formation of sodium salt of indophenol .
Phenol Blue Red
