Simulator Previous Years AIEEE/JEE Mains Questions [esquestion] In the chemical reactions, (1) Nitrobenzene and chlorobenzene (2) Nitrobenzene and fluorobenzene (3) Phenol and benzene (4) Benzene diazonium chloride and fluorobenzene #tag# [AIEEE-2010] #sol# (4) [/esquestion] [esquestion] In the chemical reactions (1) Fluorobenzene and phenol (2)Benzene diazonium chloride and benzonitrile (3) Nitrobenzene and chlorobenzene (4) Phenol and bromobenzene #tag# [AIEEE-2011] #sol# (2) [/esquestion] [esquestion] Compound (A), $\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{9} \mathrm{Br}$, gives a white precipitate when warmed with alcoholic $\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}$. Oxidation of (A) gives an acid (B), $\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{6} \mathrm{O}_{4}$. (B) easily forms anhydride on heating. Identify the compound (A): #tag# [AIEEE-2013] #sol# (4) since B on heating gives anhydride so B is 1,2 dicarboxylic acid. It contains two Benzylic carbon at 1,2 position so on oxidation it produces 1, 2-dicarboxylic acid [/esquestion] [esquestion] An organic compound A upon reacting with $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ gives B. On heating, B gives C. C in presence of KOH reacts with $\mathbf{B} \mathbf{r}_{2}$ to give $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{NH}_{2}$. A is :- (1) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}$ (2) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH}$ (4) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH}$ #tag# [AIEEE-2013] #sol# (4) [/esquestion] [esquestion] On heating an aliphatic primary amine with chloroform & ethenolic potassium hydroside the organic compound formed is (1) An alkyl cyanide (2) An alkyl isocyanide (3) an alkanol (4) an alkanediol #tag# [AIEEE-2014] #sol# (2) It is a carbyl amine reaction used for identification of primary amine also known as isocynide test because of offensive smell of isocynide. [/esquestion] [esquestion] In the reaction (1) Ethylene (2) Acetyl chloride (3) Acetaldehyde (4) Acetylene. #tag# [AIEEE-2014] #sol# (1) [/esquestion] [esquestion] In the presence of a small amount of phosphorous, aliphatic carboxylic acids react with chlorine or bromine to yield a compound in which - hydrogen has been replaced by halogen. This reaction is known as : (1) Etard reaction (2) Hell - Volhard - Zelinsky reaction (3) Wolff - Kischner reaction (4) Rosenmund reaction #tag# [JEE(Main)-2015] #sol# (2) [/esquestion] [esquestion] In the Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction, the number of moles of NaOH and $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ used per mole of amine produced are : #tag# [JEE(Main)-2016] #sol# (1) [/esquestion] [esquestion] The major product obtained in the following reaction is :- #tag# [JEE - Main 2017] #sol# (1) DIBAL – H is electrophilic reducing agent reduces cynide, esters, lactone, amide, carboxylic acid into corresponding Aldehyde (partial reduction) [/esquestion] [esquestion] Sodium salt of an organic acid 'X' produces effervescence with conc. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$. 'X' reacts with the acidified aqueous CaCl2 solution to give a white precipitate which decolourises acidic solution of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$. 'X' is :- (1) $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{COONa}$ (2) HCOONa (3) CH3COONa (4) $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ #tag# [JEE - Main - 2017] #sol# (4) [/esquestion] [esquestion] Which of the following compounds will be suitable for Kjeldahl's method for nitrogen estimation ? #tag# [JEE(Main)-2018] #sol# (1) Kjeldahl's is suitable for Aniline. This method is used for quantitative analysis of N compound in organic substance $\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3} / \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}\right) .$ [/esquestion]
