JEE Advanced · Chemistry · 14. Hydrocarbons
The number of (methylene) groups in the product formed from the following reaction sequence is _____ .

- A 1
- B 2
- C 3
- D \(0\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(0\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The first reaction is called reductive ozonolysis in which alkene is converted into aldehyde of ketones. In 2nd reaction aldehyde group will be oxidised to carboxylic acid.
The third reaction is called Kolbe's electrolysis reaction in which decarboxylation reaction will occur forming higher alkane.

In last step of reaction aromatisationreaction will take place forming benzene as the major product. This benzene does not contain any group.

- Paragraph:
A small block of mass \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) is released from rest at the top of a rough track. The track is a circular arc of radius \(40 \mathrm{~m}\). The block slides along the track without toppling and a frictional force acts on it in the direction opposite to the instantaneous velocity. The work done in overcoming the friction up to the point \(Q\), as shown in the figure below, is \(150 \mathrm{~J}\). (Take the acceleration due to gravity, \(g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\) ).
