  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation: Ketones react with HCN in nucleophilic addition reaction and the product is a cyanohydrin i.e a compound which has OH and CN both bonded…

Correct answer: Option A
  • A. Carbolic Acid
  • B. Acetic Acid
  • C. Carbonic Acid
  • D. Oxalic Acid

Explanation: Explanation:Acetic acid is used in the manufacture of plastics such as poly vinyl acetate (rayon) and cellulose acetate (silk).Carbolic…

  • B. H3C2-COO-CH3
  • C. H3C2-CO-OH
  • D. H3C2-COO-C2H5

Explanation: A is incorrect as the compound given is an ester which does not produce carbon dioxide upon reaction with sodium carbonate.B is incorrect…

Correct answer: H3C2-CO-OH
  • A. CCl3COOH > CHCl2COOH > CH2ClCOOH > CH3COOH
  • B. CH3COOH > CHCl2COOH > CCl3COOH > CH2ClCOOH
  • C. CHCl2COOH > CH3COOH > CCl3COOH > CH2ClCOOH
  • D. CCl3COOH > CH3COOH > CHCl2COOH > CH2ClCOOH

Explanation: CCl3COOH > CHCl2COOH > CH2ClCOOH > CH3COOH: This option suggests that trichloroacetic acid (CCl3COOH) is the strongest acid, followed by…

Correct answer: CCl3COOH > CHCl2COOH > CH2ClCOOH > CH3COOH
  • A. Diethyl ether
  • B. Methyl propyl ether
  • C. Ethyl acetate

  • C. Cl3CCOOH > Cl2CHCOOH > ClCH2COOH > CH3COOH
  • D. Cl3CCOOH > CH3COOH > Cl2CHCOOH > ClCH2COOH

Explanation: Chlorine is an electronegative atom and it pulls the electron density towards itself thus spreading the charge and making the conjugate…

Correct answer: Cl3CCOOH > Cl2CHCOOH > ClCH2COOH > CH3COOH
  • A. Solid.
  • B. Liquid.
