Which reagent will distinguish Benzophenone from acetone ?
- A Fehling's reagent
- B Tollen's reagent
- C 2,4-DNP reagent
- D I2/NaOH
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) I2/NaOH
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acetone contains a \(CH_3CO\) group. Benzophenone does not contain a \(CH_3CO\) group. I2/NaOH (Iodoform test) gives a positive result for acetone (yellow precipitate of CHI3) and a negative result for benzophenone. Reagent: I2/NaOH

- Given below are the steps involved in the process of zone refining for removing impurities which are more soluble in the melt than solid state of the metal.
A. Impurities get concentrated at one end.
B. As the heater moves forward, the pure metal crystallises out of the melt left behind and the impurities pass to the next zone.
C. A mobile heater surrounding the rod of impure metal is fixed at its one end.

Werner in 1898, propounded his theory of coordination compounds. In coordination compounds metals show two types of linkages (valences)-primary and secondary. The primary valences are normally ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions. The secondary valences are non-ionisable. These are satisfied by neutral molecules or negative ions. The secondary valence is equal to the coordination number and is fixed for a metal. The ions or group bound by the secondary linkages to the metal have characteristic spatial arrangements corresponding to the different coordination numbers. Both double salts as well as complexes are formed by the combination of two or more stable compounds in stoichiometric ratio. However, they differ in the fact that double salts such as carnallite, Mohr's salt, potash alum etc. dissociate into simple ions completely when dissolved in water. But complex ions do not dissociate completely into simple ions.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon and it differs from absorption which occurs throughout the body of the substance that absorbs. In physiosorption the attractive forces are mainly van der Waal's forces while in chemisorption ionic/covalent bonds are formed between particles of adsorbent and adsorbate. The catalytic activity of finely divided iron in Haber's process of ammonia manufacture can be explained by adsorption theory. Adsorption being an exothermic process, the heat of adsorption is utilised in enhancing the rate of the reaction. Adsorption has many applications being used in gas masks, control of humidity, chromatograph separation, curing diseases etc.
Which of the following is not correct regarding the adsorption of a gas on the surface of solid ?
(A) On increasing temperature, adsorption increases continuously.
(B) Enthalphy and entropy changes are negative.
(C) Chemical adsorption is more specific than physical adsorption.
(D) High temperature favours physical adsorption.

One of the notable features of the transition element is the great variety of oxidation states it may show in its compounds. The elements which give the greatest number of oxidation states occur in or near the middle of the series. Manganese, for example exhibits all the oxidation states from +2 to +7. The lesser number of oxidation states at the extreme ends is either due to losing or sharing of few electrons (Sc, Ti) or too many d electrons of higher valence. Early in the first series scandium (II) is virtually unknown and titanium (IV) which is more stable than Ti (III) or Ti (II). On the other end, the only oxidation state of zinc is \(+ 2\).
