Paragraph I: An organic compound \(\mathbf{P}\) with molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_9 \mathrm{H}_{18} \mathrm{O}_2\) decolorizes bromine water and also shows positive iodoform test. \(\mathbf{P}\) on ozonolysis followed by treatment with \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\) gives \(\mathbf{Q}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\). While compound \(\mathbf{Q}\) shows positive iodoform test, compound \(\mathbf{R}\) does not give positive iodoform test. \(\mathbf{Q}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\) on oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) followed by heating give \(\mathbf{S}\) and \(\mathbf{T}\), respectively. Both \(\mathbf{S}\) and \(\mathbf{T}\) show positive iodoform test.
Complete copolymerization of 500 moles of \(\mathbf{Q}\) and 500 moles of \(\mathbf{R}\) gives one mole of a single acyclic copolymer \(\mathbf{U}\).
[Given, atomic mass: \(\mathrm{H}=1, \mathrm{C}=12, \mathrm{O}=16\)]
Question: Sum of number of oxygen atoms in \(\mathbf{S}\) and \(\mathbf{T}\) is

  1. A 2
  2. B 6
  3. C 8
  4. D 10
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\mathrm{S} \& \mathrm{~T}\) shows + ve idoform test.
Total oxygen atoms present in \(\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{T}\) are \(=1+1=2\)
Ans. \(\Rightarrow 2\)
