Multiple choice chemistry hydroxy compounds and ethers physical properties of phenol physical properties of alcohols and phenols organic compounds with functional group containing oxygen (part-1)

Molecular weight of phenol is :

  1. $94.11$
  2. $104.11$
  3. $86.11$
  4. $98$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Molecular formula of Phenol is $C _6H _5-OH$
Therefore, moelcular weight: $6 (Mass \ of \ Carbon) + 6 (Mass \ of \ Hydrogen)+16 (Mass \ of \ Oxygen)$
$=6 \times 12 + 5 \times 1 + 16 \times 1 + 1 \times 1$
$=94.11$

The major product of Raschig process was taken for litmus test.It was observed that it turned:

  1. red litmus blue

  2. blue litmus red

  3. no change in colour

  4. very slight change in colour from red towards blue
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Phenol is obtained as the major product of Raschig process.Phenol is mildly acidic in nature so it turns blue litmus red.

Alcohols containing only up to ___________ carbon atoms are completely miscible with water.

  1. three

  2. four

  3. five

  4. two
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Hydroxyl group makes the alcohol molecule polar and these are used as protic solvents. Two opposing solubility trends in alcohols are the tendency of the polar OH to promote solubility in water and the tendency of the carbon chain to resist it. So, methanol, ethanol, propanol are miscible in water as the OH group overcomes the short carbon chain.

Among the following compounds, the most acidic is:

  1. p-nitrophenol

  2. o-hydroxybenzoic acid

  3. p-toluic acid

  4. p-hydroxybenzoic acid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Order of strength is ortho hydroxy benzoic acid > Toulic acid > p-hydroxy benzoic acid > p nitro phenol. Ortho hydroxy acid is strongest acid due to stabilisation conjugate by intermolecular H-bond which outweigh the electron donating resonance effect of –OH

In which of the following solvents, KI has highest solubility? The dielectric constant $(\epsilon)$ of each liquid is given in parentheses.

  1. $ C _{6}H _{6}(\epsilon =0)$
  2. $(CH _{3}) _{2}CO(\epsilon =21)$
  3. $CH _{3}OH(\epsilon =32)$
  4. $CCl _{4}(\epsilon =0)$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

KI is an ionic compound. Hence, it will be most soluble in apolar solvent, which has a high value of dielectric constant. Hence, $CH _3OH$ with the highest value of dielectric constant among the given options will provide high solubility.

Phenol is an organic compound even though it is soluble in water due to the presence of:

  1. ionic bonding

  2. covalent bonding

  3. hydrogen bonding

  4. coordinate bonding
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Phenol is an organic compound even though it is soluble in water due to the presence of hydrogen bonding. Phenol has hydroxyl group which is involved in the formation of hydrogen bonds with water. It increases the solubility.  Hydrogen bonding is possible when $H$ atom is attached to electronegative $N,\ O$ or $F$ atom.

Multiple choice synthetic polyamides polymerisation chemistry

Nylon $6$,$6$ is not a :-

  1. Condensation polymer

  2. Polyamide

  3. Copolymer

  4. Homopolymer
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Chloroprene 
Nylon $6-6$ is formed by hexamethle dlamine and adipic acid so it is copolymer polymer and condensation
$\therefore $ it is not homopolymer

Multiple choice synthetic polyamides polymerisation chemistry

The most important type of forces present in Nylon - $6,6$ is:

  1. van der Waals forces of attraction

  2. hydrogen bonding

  3. three dimensional network of bonds

  4. metallic bonding
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Nylon-$6,6$ is a polyamide obtained from the condensation polymerization of adipic acid with hexamethylenediamine.
Nylon-$6,6$ contains hydrogen bonding interactions due to the presence of amide linkages.

Multiple choice synthetic polyamides polymerisation chemistry

Which of the following polymers has the empirical formula identical with its monomer?

  1. Teflon
  2. Nylon - $6,6$

  3. Dacron

  4. Bakelite
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

TEFLON - It is an addition polymer of carbon tetraflouride.
$n CF _{2} = CF _{2} \xrightarrow[High  pressure]{Catalyst} \left [ -CF _{2} - CF _{2}- \right ] _{n}$
                                                    Teflon
$\because $ The shift forming a chain in addition polymer, the empirical formula remains the same.
