Which one of the following compounds has the most acidic nature?A. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Phenyl is an electron withdrawing substituent while `-CH_(3)` is an electron releasing sunstituent. Moreover, phenoxide ion is more resonance stabilished as compared to benzy`1` oxide ion, thus release proton more easily. Thus strong acid among the given options.

One mole of an organic compound A with the formula `C_(3)H_(8)O` reacts completely with two moles of HI to form X and Y. When Y is boiled with aquous alkali it forms Z.Z answers the iodoform test. The compound A isA. propane-2-olB. propane-1-olC. ethoxyethaneD. methoxyethane

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Molecular formula `C_(3)H_(8)O(C_(n)H_(2n+2)O)` suggests that the organic compound is either alochol or ether.
Since, the compound on reaction will HI gives two different compounds, it must be an unsymmetrical ether, and its formula must be `CH_(3)OC_(2)H_(5)` (methoxyethane).

537.

Explain why low molecular mass alcohols are soluble in water ?

Answer» Solubility of alcohols and phenols in water is due to their ability to form hydrogen bond with water molecule. The hydrocarbon part methoxy methane (i.e., R group) tends prevent the formation of hydrogen bonds.
Alcohols with lower molar mass will have smaller hydrocarbon part and therefore tendency to form hydrogen bonding is more and they are more soluble in water.
