- A Benzaldehyde
- B 2-Methylbenzaldehyde
- C 2-Chlorophenol
- D Benzal chloride
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Benzaldehyde
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(C_6H_5CH_3 \xrightarrow{2Cl_2, h\nu} C_6H_5CHCl_2\) \(C_6H_5CHCl_2 \xrightarrow{H_2O} C_6H_5CH(OH)_2 \rightarrow C_6H_5CHO + H_2O\) Y is Benzaldehyde.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon which can be expressed by means of an empirical relationship know as Freundlich Adsorption isotherm. The relationship given by \(\frac{x}{m} = Kp^{\frac{1}{n}}\ (n > 1)\)
x = Mass of the gas adsorbed
m = Mass of adsorbent
p = Pressure at which adsorption takes place
K and n are constant
The curve of above relationship indicate that at a fixed pressure there is a decrease in physical adsorption with increase in temperature. At high pressure, curves become parallel to pressure axis, indicating saturation of the surface of adsorbent.
Adsorption of a gas follow Freundlich isotherm shown below. \(\frac{x}{m}\) is proportional to
CUET 2023 Hard - Read the Passage carefully and answer the Questions:
Kinetic studies not only help us to determine the rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered. The factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure and catalyst affect the rate of a reaction.
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time.
Rate \(=k[A]^{ a }[B]^{ y }\)
Here \(k\) is the rate constant
\(x+y\) gives the overall order of a reaction, whereas \(x\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants \(A\) and \(B\), respectively.
The unit of rate constant for first order reaction is:CUET 2023 Hard
