The synthesis of higher alkyne from lower alkyne is achieved by adding a bromo alkane in to a mixture of Sodium amide and an alkyne. Which of the following combination(s) of bromoalkane and alkyne, can lead to the formation of 3-Octyne.

A

1-bromo pentane and propyne

B

1-bromo butane and butyne-2

C

1-bromo butane and butyne-1

D

1-bromopropane and pentyne-1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The above reaction is possible only with terminal (acidic) alkynes. Hence option "b". is not correct as it is non-terminal alkyne

Hydrogen bonding is said to be formed, -when sightly acidic hydrogen-atom attached to a strongly, electronegative fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom. is held with weak. electrostatic forces by the non-bonded pair of electrons of another atom. The co-ordination number of hydrogen in such cases is two. It acts as a bridge between two atoms, to one of which it is covalently bonded and to other attached through electrostatic forces, also called hydrogen bond. Though the hydrogen atoms in a methyl group are not polarised, if an electronegative group like chloro, carbonyl, nitro or cyano (in order to increase electronegativity) is attached to it, the C-H bond gets polarised due to the inductive effect and the hydrogen atom becomes slightly acidic resulting in the formation of weak hydrogen bonds. Though a weak bond the H-bond effects is large number of the physical properties of compounds some of which are - Boiling points of liquids - Solubility of polar compounds in polar solvents (containig H attached with strong electronegative atom) - Viscosity of liquids .

In the conversion of alkyne to trans -alkene by birch reduction using alkali metals (such as Na or K) in liquid NH_3 and alcohol (MeOH or EtOH), The mechanism takes place in the formation of intermediate species in the following sequence:

K_2Cr_2O_7 acts as a good oxidizing agent in acidic medium underset("Orange")(Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)) + 14H^(+) + 6e^(-) rarr underset("Green")(2Cr^(3+)) + 7H_2O In alkaline solution, orange colour of Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) chages to yellow colour due to formation of Cr_2O_(4)^(2-) and again yellow colour changes to orange colour on changing the solution to acidic medium underset("Orange")(Cr_2O_7^(2-))+2OH^(_) rarrunderset("Yellow")(Cr_2O_7^(2-))+H_2O underset("Yellow")(2CrO_(4)^(2_-)) + 2H^(+) rarr underset("Orange")(Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) + H_(2)O) Cr_(4)^(2-) and Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-) exist in equilibrium at pH =4 and are interconvertible by altering the pH of the solution. When heated with H_2SO_4 and metal chloride K_2Cr_2O_7 gives vapour of chromyl chloride (CrO_2Cl_2) . Chromyl chloride (CrO_2Cl_2) when passed into aqueous NaOH solution, yellow colour solution of CrO_(4)^(2-) is obtained. This on reaction with lead acetate gives yellow ppt. PbCrO_4 . When H_2O_2 is added to an acidified solution of dichromate ion, a complicated reaction occurs. The products obtained depend on the pH and concentration of dichromate.

This decomposes rapidly in aqueous solution into Cr^(3+) and xygen. Which of the following statements is wrong when a mixture of NaCI and K_2Cr_2O_2 is gently walmed with conc. H_2SO_4 ?

Following passage describes charcterstics of colloids. Answer the questions at the end of it. Lyophilic colloidal sols are much more stable than lyophobic colloidal sols. This is due to the extensive solvation of lyophilic colloidal sols, which forms a protective layer outside it and thus prevents it from forming associated colloids. Lyophillic colloidal sols also protect lyophobic colloidal sols from precipition by the action of electrolytes. This is due to formation of a protective layer by lyophilic sols outside lyophobic sols. Lyophilic colloidal sols are called protective sols. Gelatin (lyophilic) protects gold sol (lyophobic) from coagulaion on the addition of sodium chloride solution. Protective powers of different colloidal sols are measured in terms of 'gold number' (Zigmody). It is defined as the amount of protective sol in milligrams that prevents the coagulation of 10 mL of a given gold sol on adding 1 mL of 10 percent sodium chloride. Thus smaller the gold number of a lyophillic sol, the greater is the protective power. [AgI]I^(-) collodial sol can be coagulated by the addition of a suitable cation. 1 mol of [Agl]I^(-) requires mol of AgNO_3, Pb(NO_3)_2 and Fe(NO_3)_3 as
