Answer the question on basis of passage given below:
Organic compounds containing carbon -oxygen double bonds ( \(C = O\) ) are called carbonyl compounds. These are highly polar molecules. Hence, their boiling points are higher than hydrocarbons and ethers. Aldehydes can be prepared from dehydrogenation or oxidation of alcohols and by reduction of acylhalides. Ketones are prepared by oxidation of secondary alcohols or by hydration of alkynes etc.
Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction with the number of nucleophiles such as HCN, NaHSO3 ammonia derivatives. Carboxylic acids are prepared by the oxidation of primary alcohols, aldehydes and alkenes, by hydrolysis of nitriles. Carboxylic acids are more acidic than alcohols and phenols.
- A \(C _6 H _5 COOH < C _6 H _5 CH _2 COOH < NO _2 CH _2 COOH < FCH _2 COOH\)
- B \(C _6 H _5 CH _2 COOH < C _6 H _5 COOH < NO _2 CH _2 COOH < FCH _2 COOH\)
- C \(C _6 H _5 CH _2 COOH < C _6 H _5 COOH < FCH _2 COOH < NO _2 CH _2 COOH\)
- D \(C _6 H _5 COOH < FCH _2 COOH < C _6 H _5 CH _2 COOH < NO _2 CH _2 COOH\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(C _6 H _5 CH _2 COOH < C _6 H _5 COOH < FCH _2 COOH < NO _2 CH _2 COOH\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Order of increasing acidity is determined by the electron-withdrawing strength of the substituent groups: \(C_6H_5CH_2-\) is a weak electron-withdrawing group. \(C_6H_5-\) is an electron-withdrawing group via resonance and induction, stronger than \(C_6H_5CH_2-\). \(FCH_2-\) has…

- Amines are reactive in nature, mainly due to difference in electronegativity between Nitrogen and Hydrogen and, due to lone pair of electrons on Nitrogen. Amines behave like nucleophiles and as good lewis bases and there are various reactions to support this. Different degree of amines differ in their reactivity due to steric hinderance and electronic effects. Aromatic amines are less basic due to + R effect, hence have higher pkb value than aliphatic amines. Basic strength of amines also depends on stability of corresponding conjugate acid in aqueous medium.
