Correct answer: Nucleophilic substitution- A. CH3COOH, HCI
- B. CH3COOH, PCI5
- C. CH3COOH, SOCI2
- D. Both "B" and "C"
Explanation: The addition of a nucleophile to the carboxyl group is always followed by the displacement of the OH group by some other group, producing…
Correct answer: Both "B" and "C"- A. Reaction of CH3COOH with Na
- B. Reaction of CH3COOH with NaHCO3
- C. Reaction of CH3COOH with Na2 CO3
- D. Reaction of CH3COOH with PCI5
Explanation: CH3,COOH+PCI5 → CH3-CO-CI+ POCI3+HCI, In this reaction C-O bond of carboxy
Correct answer: Reaction of CH3COOH with PCI5- A. OH-
- B. RCCO-
- C. -OR
- D. PhO-
Explanation: Option Ais correct.Hydroxide ion is the conjugate base of water (H2O).Water is a weak acid (in pure form) with a pKa of about 15.7.
Correct answer: OH-- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation: This is correct option as it contains functional group of carboxylic acids.
Correct answer: Option A- A. methyl formate
- B. methyl acetate
- C. ethyl acetate
- D. ethyl formate
Explanation: Option D is the correct answer. Ethyl formate is an ester with the formula HCOOCH2CH3.When hydrolyzed, it produces ethyl alcohol…
Correct answer: ethyl formate- A. HClO
- B. HClO2
- C. HClO4
- D. HClO3
Explanation: The increasing order of acid strength HClO4,HClO3,HClO2,HClO is: HClO<HClO2<HClO3<HClO4.
Correct answer: HClO4- A. Alanine
- B. Glycine
- C. Aspartic acid
- D. Aniline
Explanation: Aniline is not an amino acid. It is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with an amino group (-NH2) attached to it.
Correct answer: Aniline- A. CnHnCOOH
- B. CnH2n+1COOH
- C. CnH2nCOOH
- D. CnH2n-2COOH
Explanation: CnH2n+1COOH, is the correct general formula for monocarboxylic acids. This formula represents a carboxylic acid where there is a carbon…
Correct answer: CnH2n+1COOH- A. Formic acid
- B. Oxalic acid
- C. Carbonic acid
- D. Acetic acid
Explanation: Acetic acid is correct. Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers, particularly in the…
Correct answer: Acetic acid11133. Choose the correct option.
- A. She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved each other.
- B. She said they had texted one the other earlier in the day to say they loved each other.
- C. She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved ourselves.
- D. She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved each the other.
Explanation: "Each other" is used correctly to indicate reciprocal action between the two parties involved.
Correct answer: She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved each other.11134. Choose the correct one.
- A. Unfortunately, I had only a little friends those days, and they did not help me.
- B. Unfortunately, I had only few friends those days, and they did not help me.
- C. Unfortunately, I had only the few friends those days, and they did not help me.
- D. Unfortunately, I had only a few friends those days, and they did not help me.
Explanation: The sentence is structured correctly, using the indefinite article "a" before "few" to indicate a small, indefinite number.
Correct answer: Unfortunately, I had only a few friends those days, and they did not help me.- A. released when a bond is formed between two gaseous atoms, or equally the energy needed to break it
- B. needed to melt an ionic solid
- C. stored in the nucleus
- D. needed to ionise an atom
Explanation: Breaking a bond is endothermic and forming the same bond is exothermic by exactly the same amount, so bond energy can be quoted either way…
Correct answer: released when a bond is formed between two gaseous atoms, or equally the energy needed to break it- A. Bond order 3 and Isoelectronic
- B. Bond order three and weak field ligands
- C. Bond order two and π acceptors
- D. Isoelectronic and weak field ligands
Explanation: Each of these have same number of electrons;Number of electrons in CO = 6+8 = 14Number of electrons in CN- = 6+7+1 = 14Number of electrons…
Correct answer: Bond order 3 and Isoelectronic- A. I<Br< F<Cl
- B. I<Cl<F<Br
- C. I<F<Br<Cl
- D. F<Cl<Br<I
Explanation: Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy of a neutral atom when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion.
Correct answer: I<Br< F<Cl- A. Polar, Nonpolar
- B. Nonpolar, Neutral
- C. Polar, Neutral
- D. Neutral, Nonpolar
Explanation: CCl4, or carbon tetrachloride, contains only polar bonds. The molecule, however, is nonpolar because it has symmetrical geometry.
