Ans⇒

Explain phenol is more acidic than aliphatic

Explain phenol is more acidic than aliphatic

Q. 3. Explain phenol is more acidic than aliphatic alcohol, Why?

Ans⇒ The strength of acid depends on the stability of its conjugate base. When phenol releases Ht and forms phenoxide ion (C6H5O) which is a conjugate base of phenol which under resonance and stablises it and hence phenol is more acidic.

But in case of Aliphatic alcohol (ROH) it also forms alkoxide ion (RO) after loosing H+ but it is not stablised due to inability to form resonance.

stablised due to inability to form resonance.

I, II and III is the resonating structure of phenoxide ion showing resonance.

          R-OH         stablised due to inability to form resonance.        R-O + H+
Alkyl Alcohol                        Alkoxide
But in case of Aliphatic alcohol it does not shows resonace and the reaction becomes reversible.

Q. 4. What is Lucas test of turbidity of 1° alcohol, 2° alcohol and 3° alcohol ?

Ans⇒ Lucas reagent is anhydrous ZnCl2 + Conc. HCI.

(R3C – OH) 3° Alcohol (Tertiary Alcohol) becomes turbid immediate by the formation of chloride with lucas reagent.

2° Alcohol (Secondary alcohol R2C – H) becomes Turbid after 5 minute by the formation of chloride with lucas reagent.

1° Alcohol (Primary Alcohol) becomes turbid at last by the formatiion of chloride with lucas reagent.

The amount of turbidity formation depends on the stability of carbocation which is as follows :

3° Carbocation > 2° Carbocation > 1° Carbocation R3C+ > R2C+H > R+CH2

Q. 5. How will you obtain aldehydes from primary alcohols ?

Ans⇒ Preparation of aldehydes from primary alcohols :

(i) By the oxidation of alcohols : An aldehyde is prepared when a primary alcohol is oxidised by acidified potassium dichromate under controlled conditions.

But in case of Aliphatic alcohol it does not shows resonace and the reaction becomes reversible.

(ii) By catalytic dehydrogeneration of alcohol : By passing vapours of a primary alcohol over hot reduced copper at 573 K, we get an aldehyde.

By catalytic dehydrogeneration of alcohol

Q. 6. How will you prepare ketones from alcohols ?

Ans⇒ Preparation of ketones from alcohols : Ketones can be prepared from secondary alcohols either ‘ by oxidation or by catalytix dehydrogeneration.

(i) Oxidation of secondary alcohol:

By catalytic dehydrogeneration of alcohol

(ii) Catalytic dehydrogeneration of secondary alcohol :

By catalytic dehydrogeneration of alcohol

Q. 7. Discuss the preparation of aldehydes and ketones from alkenes.

Ans⇒ (i) By oxidation of alkenes with ozone followed by the redcution of the ozonide by zinc and ethanoic

acid or hydrogen on palladium, aldehydes and ketones are formed.

By catalytic dehydrogeneration of alcohol

(ii) If out of the two doubly-bonded carbon atoms in alkene only one carbon contains a hydrogen atom, a mixture of aldehyde and ketone will be obtained.

If out of the two doubly-bonded carbon atoms in

(ii) Cannizzaro reaction
(iii) Cross aldol condensation
(iv) Decarboxylation.

Ans⇒ (i) Acetylation : Acetylation is the replacement of H atom of alcohols, amines and other such compounds with acetyl group, e.g.,

C2H5OH + CICOCH 3 → CH 3COOC 2H5 + HCl

Acetylation : Acetylation is the replacement of H atom of

(ii) Cannizzaro’s reaction : In this reaction two molecules of aldehydes (without the a-hydrogen atom) react in presence of concentrated alkali by mutual oxidation-reaction forming one molecule of each of the corresponding alcohol and acid. Thus

Methanol when heated with alkali gives methanol and methanoic acid.

Methanol when heated with alkali gives methanol and methanoic acid.

(iii) Cross-aldol condensation : Aldol condensation of a mixture of two different aldehydes or/and ketones each containing a α-hydrogen gives a mixture of four products. Two products are made up of two moelcules of same carbonyl compounds and are same as in case of simple aldol condensation. The other two products arise from the reaction between one molecule each of two different carbonyl compounds. These are called cross aldol condensation products and the reaction leading two formation of these products is known as cross-aldol condensation. Example :

Methanol when heated with alkali gives methanol and methanoic acid.

(simple aldol condensation products)

Methanol when heated with alkali gives methanol and methanoic acid.

(cross aldol condensation products)

(iv) Decarboxylation : Carboxylic acid lose carbon dioxide, when their sodium salts are heated with soda lime (NaOH + Cao). The reaction is known as Decarboxylation.

Methanol when heated with alkali gives methanol and methanoic acid.

Q. 10. (a) Write IUPAC name of the compound

. (b) Account for the following:
(b) Account for the following:

(i) Aldehydes are more reactive than Ketones towards nucleophilic addition reaction.

(ii) Chloroacetic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid

Ans⇒

(a). (b) Account for the following:3-oxopentanoic acid
(b) (i) The reactivity of the carbonyl group to wards the nucleophilic addition reaction depends upon the magnitude of positive charge on the carbonyl carbon atom. Introduction of alkyl group (+ I effect) decreases the reactivity ketone has two alkyl groups while the aldehydes have only one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards nucleophilic addition reactions.

(ii) In presence of electron withdrawing group (-I effect) strength of carboxylic acids increases. Hence chloroacetic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid.

Q. 11. Why is benzoic acid a stronger acid than phenol ?

Ans⇒ Benzoic acid is a stronger acid than phenol because the benzoate ion is stabilised by two equivalent reasonance structure in which the negative charge is present at the more electronegative oxygen atom.
Why is benzoic acid a stronger acid than phenol

The conjugate base of phenol, a phenoxide ion, has non-equivalent resonance structure in which the negative charge is at the less electronegative carbon atom. Thus, the benzoate ion is more stable than phenoxide ion. Hence benzoic acid is a stronger acid than phenol.
Why is benzoic acid a stronger acid than phenol
