Q61
Which of the following statements is not true about partition chromatography?
A Mobile phase can be a gas
B Stationary phase is a finely divided solid adsorbent
C Separation depends upon equilibration of solute between a mobile and a stationary phase
D Paper chromatography is an example of partition chromatography
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

In partition chromatography, which includes paper chromatography, the stationary phase is typically water held by cellulose fibers in the paper.

This paper acts as an inert support.

When a mixture is applied to the paper, its components partition between this stationary phase and the mobile phase (which can be a liquid or a gas).

The varying affinities of the mixture's components for the stationary and mobile phases allow for their separation.

Now, let's address the options : Option A : Mobile phase can be a gas - This is true.

In partition chromatography, the mobile phase can be either a liquid or a gas.

Option B : Stationary phase is a finely divided solid adsorbent - This is typically false for partition chromatography.

Here, the stationary phase is a liquid (like water in paper chromatography) that's held by an inert solid support (like cellulose paper).

Option C : Separation depends upon equilibration of solute between a mobile and a stationary phase - This is true.

In partition chromatography, the mixture's components equilibrate between the mobile and stationary phases, leading to their separation.

Option D : Paper chromatography is an example of partition chromatography - This is true.

As explained above, in paper chromatography, the stationary phase (water) is held by an inert support (cellulose paper), fitting the definition of partition chromatography.

Q62
Two compounds I and II are eluted by column chromatography (adsorption of I > II). Which one of following is a correct statement ?
A I moves faster and has higher Rf value than II
B II movesfaster and has higher Rf value than I
C I moves slower and has higher Rf value than II
D II moves slower and has higher Rf value than I
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

According to question, Absorption of I > II, it means I is firmly attached to column.

Hence it will move slowly and move little distance.

As II is loosely attached to column.

So, it will move faster and will move larger distance.

Q63
In the following compounds, the decreasing order of basic strength will be :
A (C2H5)2NH > NH3 > C2H5NH2
B NH3 > C2H5NH2 > (C2H5)2NH
C (C2H5)2NH > C2H5NH2 > NH3
D C2H5NH2 > NH3 > (C2H5)2NH
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Because of +I effect of -C2H5 group, C2H5NH2 and (C2H5)2NH are more basic than NH3.

When with amine ethyl group (-C2H5) present then basic strength order : 2o amine > 3o amine > 1o amine Note : When with amine methyl group (-CH3) present then basic strength order : 2o amine > 1o amine > 3o amine

Q64
Which of the following compounds shows geometrical isomerism?
A 2-methylpent-1-ene
B 4-methylpent-1-ene
C 2-methylpent-2-ene
D 4-methylpent-2-ene
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Only 4-methylpent-2-ene shows geometrical isomerism.

Q65
Kjeldahl's method cannot be used to estimate nitrogen for which of the following compounds?
A C6H5NH2
B NH2CONH2{\rm{N}}{{\rm{H}}_2} - \mathop C\limits^{\mathop \parallel \limits^O } - {\rm{N}}{{\rm{H}}_2}
C C6H5NO2
D CH3CH2-C \equiv N
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Kjeldahl’s method is not applicable to compounds containing nitrogen in nitro, azo groups and nitrogen present in ring (pyridine).

Q66
A chromatography column, packed with silica gel as stationary phase, was used to separate a mixture of compounds consisting of (A) benzanilide (B) aniline and (C) acetophenone. When the column is eluted with a mixture of solvents, hexane : ethylacelate (20:80), the sequence of obtained compounds is :
A (A), (B) and (C)
B (B), (A) and (C)
C (C), (A) and (B)
D (B), (C) and (A)
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

In column chromatography, we separate different parts of a mixture by washing it with solvents.

The part of the mixture that gets most strongly attached to the moving solvent (or mobile phase) moves down the column quicker and comes out first.

This is marked by a high Rf value.

Other parts of the mixture follow in the order of decreasing Rf values.

In this particular separation, we're using a very polar solvent because most of it is ethyl acetate (80%).

This means that the most polar part of the mixture (the one with the highest dipole moment) will have the highest Rf value and will be the first to come out.

We measure the dipole moments of the mixture's components to determine this order.

\therefore The sequence of obtained compounds is

(C)>(A)>(B)(C)>(A)>(B)
Q67
Which purification technique is used for high boiling organic liquid compound (decomposes near its boiling point)?
A Simple distillation
B Steam ditillation
C Fractional distillation
D Reduced pressure distillation
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Reduced pressure distillation or vacuum distillation is used for the purification of high boiling organic liquids which decomposes at or below their boiling point.

Q68
Staggered and eclipsed conformers of ethane are :
A Polymers
B Rotamers
C Enantiomers
D Mirror images
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Staggered and eclipsed conformers of ethane also known as rotamers.

Q69
The IUPAC name of ethylidene chloride is :
A 1-Chloroethene
B 1-Chloroethyne
C 1,2-Dichloroethane
D 1,1-Dichloroethane
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Ethylidene chloride is CH3– CHCl2, its IUPAC name is 1,1-Dichloromethane.

Q70
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A : Benzene is more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene Reason R : The delocalised π\pi electron cloud is attracted more strongly by nuclei of carbon atoms. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A A is true but R is false
B Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
C Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
D A is false but R is true
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Benzene is more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene due to the delocalization of electrons in the π electron cloud of the aromatic ring.

This delocalization of electrons leads to a more stable electronic configuration in benzene, as the electrons are shared more evenly between all six carbon atoms in the ring.

This is in agreement with Assertion A.

Reason R is also correct, as the delocalized π electron cloud in the aromatic ring is attracted more strongly by the nuclei of the carbon atoms.

This is due to the fact that the π electrons in the ring are more spread out and are not localized to a single atom, which makes them more attracted to the positively charged nuclei of the carbon atoms.

This explanation supports Assertion A.
