Question 18:

Correct Answer: (3)
View Solution



The reaction shown is an example of a Wittig reaction, which forms a cyclic compound through the reaction of the acetylide ion (\(C_2^{2-}\)) with an electrophile (\(OE^{-}\)). The acetylide ion undergoes a [2+2] cycloaddition with the electrophile to form a cyclic intermediate, which upon heating gives a cyclic product containing a carbonyl group.


The acetylide ion (\(C_2^{2-}\)) reacts with the electrophile in a manner that results in the formation of a five-membered cyclic compound, A, containing a carbonyl group. This is consistent with the structure shown in option (3).
Quick Tip: The Wittig reaction typically involves the reaction of an acetylide ion with an electrophile to form a new carbon-carbon bond, which often results in the formation of a cyclic structure. Heating can help drive this reaction to completion.

Question 22:

The mass of NH\(_3\) produced when 131.8 kg of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde undergoes Tollens test is ______ kg. (Nearest Integer)
Given: Molar Mass of C = 12 g/mol, N = 14 g/mol, O = 16 g/mol.

Correct Answer: 60 kg
View Solution

The chemical equation for the reaction is:
\[ Cyclohexanecarbaldehyde + 2 [Ag(NH_3)_2] OH \rightarrow Cyclohexanecarboxamide + 3 NH_3 + 2 Ag + H_2O \]

We are given the mass of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde:
\[ Mass of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde = 131.8 \, kg \]

The molecular weight of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde:
\[ Molecular weight = 12 \times 6 + 14 + 16 = 112 \, g/mol \]

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, we know that 1 mole of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde produces 3 moles of NH\(_3\). The number of moles of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde is:
\[ Moles of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde = \frac{131.8 \times 1000}{112} = 1176.8 \, mol \]

Since 1 mole of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde produces 3 moles of NH\(_3\), the moles of NH\(_3\) produced are:
\[ Moles of NH_3 = 3 \times 1176.8 = 3530.4 \, mol \]

The molar mass of NH\(_3\) is:
\[ Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 \, g/mol \]

The mass of NH\(_3\) produced is:
\[ Mass of NH_3 = 3530.4 \times 17 = 60,023.2 \, g = 60 \, kg \]

Thus, the mass of NH\(_3\) produced is:
\[ \boxed{60 \, kg} \] Quick Tip: In reactions like Tollens' test, always pay attention to the stoichiometry between the reactants and products to correctly calculate the mass of the desired product.
