Q.40Describe the reactions involved in the detection of nitrogen in an organic compound by Lassaigne method.v
Answer:

This method involves the conversion of covalently bonded N, S or halogen present in the organic compounds to corresponding water soluble ions in the form of sodium salts For this purpose a freshly cut piece of Na of the size of a paper, dried it by pressing between the folds of a filter paper is taken in a fusion tube in an iron tand clamping it just near the upper end and it is gently heated.
When it melts to a shiñing globule, put a pinch of the organic compound on it. Heat the tube with the tip of the flame till all reaction ceases and it becomes red hot. Now plunges it in about 50 mL of distilled water taken in a china dish and break the bottom of the tube by striding against the dish. Boil the contents of the dish for about 10 mts and filter. This filtrate is known as lassaignes extract or sodium fusion extract and it used for qualitative analysis of nitrogen, sulfur and halogens present in organic compounds.
Test for Nitrogen:
If nitrogen is present it gets converted to sodium cyanide which on reaction with freshly prepared ferrous sulphate and ferric ion followed by cone. HCl gives a Prussian blue color or green color or precipitate. It confirms the presence of nitrogen. HCl is added to dissolve the greenish precipitate of ferrous hydroxide produced by the excess of NaOH on FeSO 4 which would otherwise mark the Prussian blue precipitate. The following reaction takes part in the formation of Prussian blue.

Q.41Give the principle involved in the estimation of halogen in an organic compound by Carius method.v
Answer:

Estimation of halogens (Carius method):
A known mass of the organic compound is heated with fuming HNO 3 along with AgNO 3. C, H & S gets oxidized to CO 2, H 2 O, SO 2 and halogen combines with AgNO 3 to form a precipitate of silver halide.
The ppt of AgX is filtered, washed, dried and weighed. From the mass of AgX and the mass of the organic compound taken, percentage of halogens are calculated.
A known mass of the substance is taken along with fuming HNO 3 and AgNO 3 is taken in a clean carius tube. The open end of the Carius tube is sealed and placed in a iron tube for 5 hours in the range at 530 – 540 K Then the tube is allowed to cool and a small hole is made in the tube to allow gases produced to escape. The tube is broken and the ppt is filtered, washed, dried and weighed. From the mass of AgX obtained, calculations are made.
Calculation:
Weight of the organic compound: w g
Weight of AgCl precipitate = a g
143. 5 g of AgCl contains 35.5 g of Cl
∴ a g of AgCl contains \(\frac{35.5}{143.5}\) × a
w g Organic compound gives a g AgCl
Percentage of Cl in w g organic compound = \(\left(\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{w}} \times 100\right) \%\)
Let Weight of silver Bromide be ‘b’ g
188 g of AgBr contains 80 g of Br
∴ b g of AgBr contains \(\frac{80}{180} \times \frac{b}{w}\) of Br
w g Organic compound gives b g AgBr
Percentage of Br in w g organic compound = \(\left(\frac{80}{180} \times \frac{b}{w} \times 100\right) \%\)
Let Weight of silver Iodide be ‘c’ g
235 g of AgI contains 127 g of I
∴ C g of AgI contains \(\left(\frac{127}{235} \times \frac{c}{w}\right)\) of I
w g Organic compound gives c g AgI
percentage of I in w g organic compound = \(\left(\frac{80}{180} \times \frac{b}{w} \times 100\right) \%\)

Q.42Give a brief description of the principles of 1. Fractional distillation 2. Column Chromatographyv
Answer:

1. Fractional distillation:
This method is used to purify and separate liquids present in the mixture having their boiling point close to each other. The process of separation of the components in liquid mixture at their respective boiling points in the form of vapours and the subsequent condensation of those vapours is called fractional distillation. This method is applied in distillation of petroleum. coal tar and crude oil.
2. Column chromatography:
(a) The principle behind chromatography is selective distribution of mixture of organic substances between two phases a stationary phase and a moving phase. The stationary phase can be a solid or liquid, while the moving phase is a liquid or a gas. when the stationary phase is a solid, the moving phase is a liquid or gas.
(b) If the stationary phase is solid, the basis is adsorption, and when it is a liquid, the basis is partition.
(c) Chromatography is defined as a technique for the separation of a mixture brought about by differential movement of the individual component through porous medium under the influence of moving solvent.
(d) In column chromatography, the above principle is carried out in a long glass column.

Q.43Explain paper chromatography.v
Answer:

Paper chromatography (PC) is an example of partition chromatography. The same procedure is followed as in thin layer chromatography except that a strip of ‘ paper acts as an adsorbent. This method involves continues differential portioning of components of a mixture between stationary and mobile phase. In paper chromatography, a special quality paper known as chromatography paper is used. This paper act as a stationary phase.
A strip of chromatographic paper spotted at the base with the solution of the mixture is suspended in a suitable solvent which act as the mobile phase. The solvent rises up and flows over the spot. The paper selectively retains different components according to their different partition in the two phases where a chromatogram is developed. The spots of the separated colored compounds are visible at different heights from the position of initial spots. on the chromatogram. The spots of the separated colorless compounds may be observed either under ultraviolent light or by the use of an appropriate spray reagent.

Q.44Explain various types of constitutional isomerism (structural isomerism) in organic compounds.v
Answer:

Structural isomerism:
This type of isomers have same molecular formula but differ in their bonding sequence.
(a) Chain or nuclear or skeletal isomerism:
These isomers differ in the way in which the carbon atoms are bonded to each other in a carbon chain or in other words isomers have similar molecular formula but differ in the nature of the carbon skeleton (ie. Straight or branched).
(b) Position isomerism:
If different compounds belonging to same homologous series with the same molecular formula and carbon skeleton, but differ in the position of substituent or functional group or an unsaturated linkage are said to exhibit position isomerism.
(c) Functional isomerism:
Different compounds having same molecular formula but different functional groups are said to exhibit functional isomerism.
Molecular formula C 3 H 6 O
CH 3 – CH 2 – CHO
propanal (aldehyde group)

Q.45Describe optical isomerism with suitable example.v
Answer:

Optical isomerism:
1. Compounds having same physical and chemical property but differ only in the rotation of plane of polarised light are known as optical isomers and the phenomenon is known as optical isomerism.
2. Glucose have the ability to rotate the plane of plane polarised light and it is said to be an optically active compound and this property of any compound is called optical activity.
3. The optical isomer which rotates the plane of plane polarised light to the right or in clockwise direction is said to be dextrorotatory and is denoted by the sign (+).
4. The optical isomer which rotates the plane of plane polarised light to the left or in anti- clockwise direction is said to be laveo rotatory and is denoted by the sign (-).
5. Dextrorotatory compounds are represented as ‘d’ (or) by (+) sign and leave rotatory compounds are represented as l (or) by (-) sign.
6. The optical isomers which are non-superimposible mirror images of each other are called enantiomers.

Q.46Briefly explain geametrical isomerism in alkene by considering 2-butene as an example.v
Answer:

Geometrical isomers are the stereoisomers which have different arrangement of groups or atoms around a rigid frame work of double bonds. This type of isomerism occurs due to restricted rotation of double bonds, or about single bonds in cyclic compounds.
In alkenes, the carbon-carbon double bond is sp 2 hybridized. The carbon-carbon double bond consists of a σ bond and a π bond. The π bond is formed by the head on overlap of sp 2 hybrid orbitals. The n bond is formed by the side-wise overlap of ‘p’ orbitals. The presence of the π bond lock the molecule in one position. Hence, rotation around C = C bond is not possible. This restriction of rotation about C – C double bond is responsible for geometrical isomerism in alkenes.
These two compounds are termed as geometrical isomers and are distinguished from each other by the terms c is and trans. The c is isomer is one in which two similar groups are on the same side of the double bond. The trans isomers is that in which the two similar groups are on the opposite side of the double bond, hence this type of isomerism is often called cis- trans isomerism.
The cis-isomer can be converted to trans isomer or vice versa is only if either isomer is heated to a high temperature or absorbs light. The heat supplies the energy (about 62kcal/ mole) to break the n bond so that rotation about a bond becomes possible. Upon cooling, the reformation of the n bond can take place in two ways giving a mixture both cis and trans forms of trans-2-butene and cis-2-butene.

Q.470.30 g of a substance gives 0.88 g of carbon dioxide and 0.54 g of water calculate the percentage of carbon and hydrogen in it.v
Answer:

Weight of organic compound = 0.30 g
Weight of carbon dioxide = 0.88 g
Weight of water = 0.54 g
Percentage of carbon:
44 g of carbondioxide contains, carbon = 12 g
0.88 g of carbon dioxide contains, carbon = \(\frac{12 \times 0.88}{44}\) g
0.30 g substance contains,
carbon = \(\frac{12 \times 0.88}{44}\) g
100 g substance Contains \(\frac{12 \times 0.88}{44}\) × \(\frac{100}{0.30}\) = 80 g of carbon
Percentage of carbon = 80 %
Percentage of hydrogen:
18 g of water contains, hydrogen = 2 g
0.54 g of water contains, hydrogen = \(\frac{2 \times 0.54}{18}\) g
0.30 g of substance contains hydrogen = \(\frac{2 \times 0.54}{18 \times 0.30}\) g

% of nitrogen = 5.25%

Q.490.32 g of an organic compound, after heating with fuming nitric acid and barium nitrate crystals is a sealed tube gave 0. 466 g of barium sulphate. Determine the percentage of sulphur in the compound.v
Answer:

Mass of the substance taken = 0.32 g
Mass of BaSO 4 formed = 0.466 g
Molecular mass of BaSO 4 = 137 + 32 + 64 = 233
Then, mass of S in 0.466 g of BaSO 4 = \(\frac{0.466 \times 32}{233}\)
Percentage of S in compound= \(\frac{0.466 \times 32 \times 100}{233 \times 0.32}\) = 20 %

Q.500.24 g of an organic compound gave 0.287 g of silver chloride in the carius method. Calculate the percentage of chlorine in the compound.v
Answer:

Mass of organic compound = 0.24 g
Mass of silver chloride = 0.287 g
143. 5 g AgCl contains = 35.5 g chlorine
0.287 g of AgCl contains = \(\frac{35.5}{143.5}\) × 0.287
Percentage of chlorine = \(\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{0.287}{0.24}\) × 100 = 29.58 %

Q.51In the estimation of nitrogen present in an organic compound by Dumas method 0.35 g yielded 20.7 mL of nitrogen at 15° C and 760 mm pressure. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the compound.v
Answer:

Volume of N 2 at NTP = \(\frac{V \times P}{t+273} \times \frac{273}{760}\)
= V 0 ml
Substituting the various values in the above equation,
V 0 = \(\frac{20.7 \times 760}{288} \times \frac{273}{760}\) = 19.62 ml
weight of 19.62 ml of Nitrogen = \(\frac{28}{22400}\) × 19.62 g
∴ Percentage of Nitrogen = \(\frac{28}{22400}\) × 19.62 × \(\frac{100}{0.35}\)
= 4.9 %
