Organic Chemistry Distinguish Tests Distinguish between 1. (C2H5)2​NH and (CH3)3​NH i). Add HNO2​. (C2H5)2​NH will form a yellow oily compound, whereas (CH3)3​NH will form salt soluble in water. (C2H5)2​NH​ + HNO2 ​ → (C2​H5​)2​N−N=O diethylamine                N − nitrosodiethylamine​ (Yellow oily liquid)​ ii). Alternatively, add Hinsberg’s reagent (C2H5)2​NH will form compounds soluble in KOH, whereas (CH3)3​NH will not react. 2. C6H5NH2 and C6H5-NH-CH3 i). C6H5NH2 Will give Carbylamine test (primary amine) – in addition with chloroform and KOH, C6H5NH2will give offensive smelling compound. 3. To distinguish Primary, secondary and tertiary amine: i). Hinsberg test: ii). Nitrous acid test: 4. Aniline and…

Organic Chemistry Find the Compound Type Questions Que 1. An organic compound (A) (C8H16O2) was hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give carboxylic acid (B) and alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). (C) on dehydration gives but-1-ene. Identity A,B,C. Ans 1. Organic compound A is an ester as on acid hydrolysis it gives a mixture of an acid and an alcohol. Oxidation of alcohol (C) gives acid (B). Hence, the number of carbon atoms in (B) and (C) are the same. Ester (compound A) has eight C atoms. Hence, both carboxylic acid B and alcohol…

Compounds and Properties of Nitrogen Dinitrogen Preparation of Dinitrogen: Dinitrogen is produced commercially by the liquefaction and fractional distillation of air. In the laboratory, dinitrogen is prepared by treating an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride with sodium nitrite. NH4CI(aq) + NaNO2(aq) → N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + NaCl (aq) It can also be obtained by the thermal decomposition of ammonium dichromate                                              (NH4)2Cr2O7  →Heat N2 + 4H2O + Cr2O3                                 …

General Properties of Group 15 p – Block elements The elements in which the last electron enters in the valence p-sub shell are called the p-block elements. They include elements from groups 13 to 18. Their general electronic configuration is ns2np1-6 where n = 2 (except He which has 1s2 configuration). They, includes metals, non-metals and metalloids.   Elements belonging to the s and p-blocks in the periodic table are called the representative elements or main group elements. Inert pair effect:  The tendency of ns2 electron pair to participate in a bond formation decreases with the increase in atomic…
