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.

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.
The digestion of fat in intestines is aided by
emulsification
peptisation
protection
diffusion
A.
emulsification
Digestion of fat in intestines is aided by emulsification, i.e. breaking up of fat globules into much smaller emulsion droplets. The digestive enzyme, pancreatic lipase, is water soluble and can only work at the surface of fat globules.
Which of the following possess highest melting point?
p-dichlorobenzene
m-dichlorobenzene
o-dichlorobenzene
chlorobenzene
A.
p-dichlorobenzene
p-dichlorobenzene molecule has symmetrical structure. It can fit well in its crystal lattice. The intermolecular forces of attraction are strong. Hence, it possesses highest melting point among given options.
