Question 6
Which of the following alkyl halides will undergo faster S
N
2
reactions?
a) CH
3
– X
b) 1
0
alkyl halide
c) 2
0
alkyl halide
d) 3
0
alkyl halide
e) All of these
Correct Answer:
a) CH
3
– X
Explanation:
When the number of R groups in the carbon atoms gets increased, the reactivity of S
N
2
reactions will
be decreased. So, methyl halide will undergo faster S
N
2
reaction than primary, secondary and tertiary
alkyl halides. Tertiary alkyl halide does not undergo S
N
2
reaction because of steric hindrance.
Question 7
Which apparatus is used for mixing of organic chemicals?
a) Erlenmeyer flask
b) Florence flask
c) Beaker
d) Measuring jar
e) Buckner funnel
Correct Answer:
b) Florence flask
Explanation:
Florence flask is used for mixing of organic chemicals. It is commonly called as round-bottom flask or
boiling flask. Its narrow neck prevents the splash exposure.
Erlenmeyer flask is used for volumetric titration. It is also called as conical flask.
Buckner funnel is used for vacuum filtration.
Question 8
The relative intensity of signals in proton NMR is related to
a) Chemical shift and magnetic environment of proton
b) Different number of protons
c) Number of adjacent atoms containing number of protons
d) Total number of protons present in the molecule
e) Coupling constant
Correct Answer:
d) Total number of protons present in the molecule
Explanation:
The relative intensity of signals in proton NMR is proportional to total number of protons present in the
molecule. Number of signals indicates how many different kinds of protons are present in the
molecule. Position of signals indicates the chemical shift and magnetic environment of proton.
Splitting of signals indicates the number of adjacent atoms containing different number of protons.
