Answer :B
84813.

Aldol condensation does not occur between

Answer»

two different aldehydes
two different ketones
an aldehydes and a ketone
an aldehyde and an ester

Solution :The `alpha`-hydrogens of an aldehyde `(pK_(a)~20)` are more acidic than those of an ester `(pK_(a)~25)`. Therefore, aldehydes form CARBANIONS more readily than esters. Further, due to +R-effect of OR group the ester carbonyl carbon is less electrophilic than that of an aldehyde. as a result, C=O of an aldehyde undergoes nucleophilic attach by the carbanion more readily than C=O of an ester. in other WORDS, aldol condensation does not OCCUR between an aldehyde and an ester.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon. Discuss.

Answer»
84816.

Adsorption, if spontaneous, is exothermic.

Answer»

Solution :Adsorption is ACCOMPANIED by DECREASE in entropy i.e., `DeltaS = -ve`. If it is spontaneous, `DELTAG` should be negative.
`DeltaG = DeltaH - TDeltaS`
SINCE `DeltaS` is negative (entropy decreases in the process of adsorption), `DeltaG` will be negative only if `DeltaH` is negative. That means the process will be EXOTHERMIC.

Adolf von Baeyer suggested that, since carbon prefers to have tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of approximately 109^@, ring sizes other than five and six may be too strained to exist. Baeyer based his hypothesis on the simple geometrical notion that a three-membered ring (cyclopropane) should be an equilateral triangle with bond angles to 60^@, a four membered ring (cyclobutane) should be a square with bond angles of 90^@ and so on. According to Baeyer's analysis, cyclopropane, with a bond angle compression of 109^@ - 60^@ = 49^@, should have a large amount of angle strain and must therefore be highly reactive. Cyclohexane becomes puckered to releave its strain. The angular derivation of cycloalkane is (-11^@). Greater is the angular deviation more is the torsional strain. Which among the following is most strained cycloalkane?

Cyclopropane
Cyclobutane
Cyclopentene

Aditi, a class XII student, was discussing diazonium salts. She pointed out the diazonium salts couple with phenols/ amines to form azo dyes which are widely used to colour both the fabric and the food. The emphasized that although azo dyes are excellent for dyeing fabric but the food coloured with azo dyes is harmful particularly for young children and asthama patients. therefore, she stressed that only natural dyes should be used for colouring food. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions, (i) What are azo dyes ? Give one example. (ii) Name an azo dye which has been used as a food colour in the past but has now been benned?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Dyes containing -N=N-as the functional group are called azo dyes. For example, the simplest azo dye is aniline yellow obtained by coupling benzenediazonium chloride with aniline.

(II) An example of SYNTHETIC azo dye which has been USED to colour FOOD is tetrazine. it is CONSIDERED to be a cancer suspect.
