Which of the following is produced when acetylene is passed in dilute H2SO4 in the presence of HgSO4?
C2H5OH
CH3COCH3
CH3CHO
Mercury carbide
C2H5OH can be differentiated from CH3OH by
reaction with HCl
reaction with NH3
by iodoform test
by solubility in water
The reaction between an alcohol and an acid is called
esterification
saponification
hydrolysis
hydrogenation
The reaction between an alkyl halide and sodium metal in dry ether is called
Clemmensen reduction
Kolbe's reaction
Wurtz 's reaction
Cannizaro's reaction
Acid hydrolysis of methyl isocyanide gives
CH3NH2 + HCOOH
CH3NH2 + CH3COOH
CH3NH2 + CH3CH2COOH
CH3NH2 + (CH3)2CHCOOH
Mark the correct statement.
Methyl amine is acidic.
Methyl amine is less basic than NH3.
Methyl amine is a stronger base than NH3.
Methyl amine forms salts with bases.
Which one of the following reagents can distinguish between an aldehyde and a ketone?
Fehling's solution
H2SO4 solution
NaHSO4
NH3
A.
Fehling's solution
Aldehyde reacts with Fehling solution to give red precipitate of Cu2O but ketone doesn't give red precipitate with Fehling solution.
R-COH + CuO → R-COOH + Cu2O↓
R-CO-R' + CuO → No reaction
