Haloalkanes undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction whereas haloarenes undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Comment.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Haloalkanes undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction due to high electronegativity of the halogen ATOM, the C-X bond in haloalkenes is SLIGHTLY polar, thereby the C-atom acquires a POSITIVE CHARGE.
(ii) Hence, the C-atom is good target for attack by nucleophiles. therefore, the X-atom of the haloalkane is replaces by a nucleophile.
(iii) On the other hand in haloarenes, the halogen atom releases electron to the benzene nucleus relatively electron-rich with respect to halogen atom. as a result, the electrophile attacks at ortho and para position. hence haloarenes readily undergo ELECTROPHILIC substitution reaction.
30.

Haloalkanes produce mixture of olefins-say true or false and justify your answer.

Answer»

Solution :True. Some haloalkanes yield a mixture of olefins in different amounts. It is explained by Saytzeff's rule, which states that 'In a dehydrohalogenation reaction, the preferred product is that ALKENE which has more number of alkyl groups attached to the DOUBLY bonded carbon (more substituted double BOND is FORMED).
Example:
`underset("2-Bromopropane")(CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)(C)H-CH_(2)-CH_(3))`.
31.

Haloalkanes have higher boiling point and melting point than the parent alkane. Justify this statement.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Haloalkanes have higher BOILING point than the parent alkane having the same number of CARBON atoms because the intermolecular FORCES of attraction and dipole-dipole interactions are COMPARATIVELY stronger in haloalkanes.

Haemoglobin is a chromoprotein having four atoms of Fe in each molecule. Analysis showed 0.35% Fe. What is the molecular weight of haemoglobin?

Answer»

Solution :Atomic mass of iron = 56 amu
Mass of iron in a molecule of HAEMOGLOBIN
`56 xx 4 = 224` amu
`:' 0.35` amu of Fe is present in 100 amu of haemoglobin
`:' 224` amu of Fe will be present in `(100)/(0.35) xx 224` amu of haemoglobin, i.e., 64000 amu
Thus, MOLECULAR mass of haemoglobin = 64000 amu

49.

Haemoglobin contains 0.25 % iron by mass. The molecular mass of haemoglobin is 89600. Calculate the number of iron atoms per molecule of haemoglobin.

Answer»


Solution :100 g of haemoglobin has IRON = 0.25 g
89600 g of haemoglobin has iron `= (0.25g)xx((89600g))/((100g))=224g`
No. of gram atoms of iron (FE) `= ((224g))/((56g))=4g` atom
Thus, 1 gram mole of haemoglobin has Fe atoms = 4g atom
`:.` 1 molecule of haemoglobin has Fe atoms = 4.
