HALOALKANES AND ARENES

1. Write the IUPAC name of the given compound.

2. Classify the following compounds as allylic, benzylic, or vinylic halides.

3. Why is the boiling point of n-pentyl chloride higher than that of neo-pentyl chloride? 4. Explain why ethyl nitrile is formed in the given reaction?

5. Give one step reaction for the preparation of propyl iodide from propyl chloride. 6. Giving reasons, arrange the following alcohols in the decreasing order of their reactivity towards HI to form iodo alkanes.

7. a.Name the products formed in the chlorination of methane in the presence of heat. b. What is the drawback of this reaction? 8. a. Why does the chlorination of chlorobenzene (in the presence of FeCl3) give a mixture of 1,4-and 1,2dichlorobenzene? b. Why do the electrophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes occur slowly as compared to the reactions in benzene? 9. Of the given compounds, which compound is the most reactive towards hydrolysis and will form the product with inverted configuration. Give reasons.

10. The molecular formula of compound 'A' is C6H7N. This compound on treatment with sodium nitrite followed by cuprous chloride forms a compound B, which on reacting with nitrating mixture forms a mixture of compound C and compound D. The minor product in this mixture of C and D is reacted with Na in the presence of ether to form E. Giving reactions, identify the compounds A-E? 11. a. Carry out the following conversions: i. Toluene to benzyl alcohol ii. Bromobenzene to benzene iii. Propan-2-ol to 1-bromopropane b. Identify X, Y, and Z in the following reactions.

SOLUTIONS
1. What will happen to the boiling point of a solution if the weight of the solute dissolved in it is doubled and the weight of the solvent taken is reduced by half? 2. What is meant by 10% aqueous solution of sodium carbonate? 3. When is the value of Vant Hoff factor more than unity? 4. When is the value of Vant Hoff factor more than unity? 5. Between 0.1 molal solutions of glucose and sodium chloride, which will have a higher boiling point? 6. The mole fraction of the solute of an X molal solution of a compound in benzene is 0.2. What is the value of X? 7. What happens to molarity when the temperature of a solution is increased? 8. a. The freezing point of a solution containing 0.3 g of acetic acid in 30.0 g of benzene is lowered by 0.45 K. Calculate Vant Hoff factor. (Kf for benzene = 5.12 Kkgmol1) b. The osmotic pressure of a 0.0103 molar solution of an electrolyte is found to be 0.70 atm at 27C. Calculate Vant Hoff factor. (R = 0.082 Latmmol1K1) 9. a. The outer shell of two eggs is removed and kept in dilute HCl. Then, one shell is placed in distilled water, while the other is placed in a saturated solution of NaCl. What will be observed? b. Explain why a bottle containing liquid ammonia is kept in ice before it is opened. 10. a.Name and explain the factor introduced in 1880 to account for the extent of association or dissociation. b. Arrange the following solutions in the increasing order of their osmotic pressure. Give reasons for your answer. i. 34.2 g/L Sucrose ii. 60 g/L Urea iii.58.5 g/L Sodium chloride 11. a.Why is molality preferred over molarity while expressing the concentration of a solution? b. Why does the boiling point of water increase when sodium chloride is added to it? c. Why is phenol partially soluble in water?
