Statement I Benzonitrile is prepared by the reaction of
chlorobenzene with potassium cyanide.
Statement II Cyanide `(CN^(-))` is a strong nucleoohile.

A

Statement 1: is true Statement 2: is true, Statement 2 is the correct explainion of Statement 1

B

Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explainion fo Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.

D

Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Aryl halides do ot undergo nucleophillic substituion reaction under ordinary conditions. Thus, benzonitilie is not prepared by the reaction of chlorobenzene with `KCN`
Cynaide `(CN^(-))` is a strong nuclephile. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect, but statement 2 is correct.

Reaction With Alcoholic Potassium Cyanide And Silver Cyanide

Correct statement regarding these two reaction I and II

The aldehyde which can't be prepared by reaction between hydrogen cyanide and Grignard's reagent is

Statement -1 :An original solution containing excess of Ni^(2+) ions gives a yellow coloured solution with potassium cyanide solution. Statement-2 :A solution of Ni^(2+) ions gives red precipitate with dimethylglyoxime solution just made alkaline with ammonia.

Statement-1 : Cu^(2+) and Cd^(2+) ions form complexes with excess of potassium cyanide solution. Statement-2 : On passing H_(2)S gas, complex [Cu(CN)_(4)]^(3-) is not effected but [Cd(CN)_(4)]^(2-) gives yellow precipitated.
