Q.13 (i) Chloroform responds carbylamine test while ethyl alcohol does not. Carbylamine test- The compound
is heated with aniline and alcoholic caustic potash-an obnoxious smell of phenyl isocyanide (C6H5NC)
is produced.
(ii) Chlorine atoms of chloroform can be easily replaced by – OH groups on treatment with NaOH. Hence
chlorine atoms come in the form of sodium chloride. The solution thus when treated with silver nitrate
solution gives white precipitate of silver chloride. Chlorine atom in vinyl chloride is not readily replaced
by NaOH, hence it does not give precipiatet with AgNO3 solution.
(iii) The two compounds are hydrolysed with aqueous NaOH when 1, 1-dibromoethane form acetaldehyde
while 1, 2-dibromoethane gives glycol.
(iv) Chlorine atom in chlorobenzene is very less reactive, while chlorine in cyclohexyl chloride is very reactive.
Hence the two can be differentiated as above in (ii)
(v) Apply test (ii) as above; when benzyl chloride gives white precipitate with AgNO3 solution, while O
chlorotoluene does not give precipitate. Alternately, the compounds are oxidised when o chlorotoluene
give o-chlorobenzoic acid when benzyl chloride gives benzoic acid (having non chlorine.)
(vi) n - Hexane does not respond Cl– ion test even after fusion with Na and treatment with acidic AgNO3.
the remaining three compounds are distinguished by their reactivity with alcoholic AgNO3 solution.
(a) CH3 – CH = CHCl (a vinylic chloride) does not react with alc. AgNO3 even on heating
(b) CH2 = CHCH2Cl (an allylic chloride) is the most reactive and precipitates AgCl in the cold.
(c) CH3–CH2–CH2–Cl gives precipitate of AgCl on warming with Alc. AgNO3
Q.14 The elimination of HI (or DI) in presence of strong base shows E2 elimination. The rate determining step
involves breaking up of C – H (or C–D) bond. the C–D bond being stronger than C–H and thus
elimination is faster in case of CH3 – CH2I.

major min or
Elinination occurs according to saytzeff rule. The major product is one which involves elimination of H
from less hydrogenated carbon.
Q.16 C–I bond being less stable than C–Cl bond and thus on heating heterolytic cleavage of C –I form I–
which gives yellow precipitate with AgNO3
Q.17 Due to three electronegative chlorine atoms present on carbon, the latter acquires a partial positive
charge due to –I effect of chlorine with the result it tends to attract electrons of the C–H bond towards
itself. Hence the removal of hydrogen atom as proton becomes easier.
Q.18 Alcohol acts as negative catalyst for oxidation of chloroform. Also it reacts with COCl2 to give harmless
diethyl carbonate.
Q.19 Carbonium ions can undergo rearrangement from less stable to more stable ones. Both compounds give
the same carbonium ion initially. Hence

Both give the same two isomeric chloride in the same proportions, with the tertiary chloride predominating.
Q.20 Phosphorus reacts with I2 to give PI3 which replaces OH group of alcohol to produce R – I
2P + 3I2 2 PI3
3R OH + PI3 3RI + H3PO3
Q.21 KCN is an ionic compound [K+(:C N:)–] in which both C and N carry a lone pair electron. Carbon
carrying lone pair of electrons is more reactive and thus alkyl attacks carbon to give alkyl cyanideAgCN
being covalent has Ag– CN : structure with lone pair on N thus R attacks N atom and R–N C is
formed.
Q.22 The strong – I.E of fluorine atom in F3C – C < produces partial +ve charge on C atom of CF3 which
ultimately increases + ve charge on 2nd carbon atom to destabilize it
F
F C
F
In F3C+, the unshared pair of electrons in the p orbitals of each of the fluorine atom are shifted to C+ via
p–p orbital overlapping and thus stablizing F3C+ ion
Q.23 Dry gaseous hydro halogen acids are better electrophile. Also in aqueous solution H2O acting as nucleophile
may produce alcohol.
Q.24 KI reacts with RCl to form RI. This RI molecule now hydrolysed easily to give ROH because alkyl
iodide are more reactive than alkyl chloride.
RCl + KI RI HOH
ROH (more fast)
Q.25 The more pronounced the nucleophilic activity of the attacking reagent, then the more the SN2 mechasnism
will be favoured. Since in SN1 mechanism the raegent doesnot enter into the rate determining step of
ionisation How ever it can also be expected that as the nucleophilic activtiy is so slow that the mechanism
will change from SN2 to SN1
Q.26 The dielectric constant of water is greater than that of aqueous acetone, and so ionisation of benzyl
chloride is facilitated.
Q.27 On moving from 3° to 1° alcohol rate of SN2 reaction decreases and reaches to minimum and mechanesm
changes from SN2 to SN1, Then rate of SN1 rate of reaction increases.
