Question 8. Write the product of the following reactions:
Answer:
Question 9. Haloalkanes react with KCN to form alkyl cyanides as the main product while AgCN forms isocyanides as the chief product. Explain.
Answer:
- KCN is predominantly ionic and provides cyanide ions in solution. Although both carbon and nitrogen atoms are in a position to donate electron pairs, the attack place mainly through the carbon atom and not through the nitrogen atom since the C-C bond is more stable than the C-N bond.
- However, AgCN is mainly covalent in nature and nitrogen is free to donate electron pair forming isocyanide as the main product.
Question 10. In the following pairs of hydrogen compounds, which would undergo SN2 reaction faster?
Answer:
- It is a primary halide and therefore undergoes SN2 reaction faster.
- As iodine is a better-leaving group because of its large size, it will be released at a faster rate in the presence of income nucleophiles.

- (CH3)3CCl or CH3Cl
Answer: CH3-I is more reactive because I+ is a better-leaving group than Br+
In the case of (CH3)3CCl. the attack of the nucleophile at the carbon atom is hindered by the presence of bulk)- substituents on that carbon atom bearing the leaving group.

- It is used as a solvent in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products.
- It is used as a fire extinguisher.
Uses of iodoform (CHI3) Iodoform was used earlier as an antiseptic. The antiseptic property of iodoform is due to the liberation of free iodine when it comes in contact with the skin.

Answer:
Question 26. Write the mechanism of the following reaction:
Answer: The given reaction is:
The given reaction is an SN2 reaction. In this reaction. CM acts as the nucleophile and attacks the carbon atom to which Br is attached. CN ion is an ambident nucleophile and can attack through both C and N. In this case, it attacks through the C-atom.

(more stable intermediate)
Question 29. p-Dichlorobenzene has higher m.p. and lower solubility than those of o-and m-isomers. Discuss.
Answer:
p-Dichlorobenzene is more symmetrical than o-and m-isomers. For this reason, molecules of p-dichlorobenzene are more closely than o-and m-isomers in the crystal lattice. Therefore, more energy is required to break the crystal lattice of p-dichlorobenzene.

Answer:
Question 31. The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohols but in the presence of alcoholic KOH, alkenes are major products, Explain.
Answer:
OH– ion is highly solvated in an aqueous solution and as a result, the basic character of OH– ion decreases. Therefore, it cannot abstract hydrogen from the β-carbon. So
⇒ \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{Aq} \cdot \mathrm{KOH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{KCl}\)
On the other hand, an alcoholic solution of KOFI contains an alkoxide (RO–) ion. which is a strong base. Thus, it can abstract hydrogen from the β-carbon of the alkyl chloride and form an alkene by eliminating a molecule of HCl.
Question 32. Primary alkyl halide C4H9Br(a) reacted with alcoholic KOH to given compound (b). Compound (b) is reacted with lIBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (a). When (a) is reacted with sodium metal it gives compound (d). C8H18 which is different from the compound formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium. Give the structural formula of (a) and write the equations for all the reactions.
Answer:
Two primary alkyl halides have the formula. C4H9Br. They are n-butyl bromide and isobutyl bromide.
Therefore, compound (a) is either n-butyl bromide or isobutyl bromide.
Now, compound (a) reacts with Na metal to give compound (h) of molecular formula. C8H18. Which is different from the compound formed when n-butyl bromide reacts with Na metal. Hence. compound (a) must be isobutyl bromide.
Thus, compound (d) is 2. 5-Dimethylhexane.
It is given that compound (a) reacts with alcoholic KOH to give compound (b). compound (b) is 2-methyl propene.
Also, compound (b) reacts with HBr to give compound (c) which is an isomer of (a). Hence compound (e) is -2-Bromo-2-methy propane.
Question 33. What happens when
- n-butyl chloride is treated with alcoholic KOH?
- Broinohen/ene is treated with Mg in the presence of dry ether.
- Chlorobenzene is subjected to hydrolysis.
- Ethyl chloride is treated with aqueous KOH.
- Methyl bromide is treated with sodium in the presence of dry ether.
- Methyl chloride is treated with KCN.
Answer:
Chlorobenzene does not undergo hydrolysis under normal conditions. However, it undergoes hydrolysis when heated in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at a temperature of 623 K and a pressure of 300 atm to form phenol.
