JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

\(RMgI\) when treated with ice cold water liberated a gas which occupied \(1.4\text{ dm}^3/\text{g}\) at STP. The gas produced is further reacted with iodine in presence of \(HIO_3\) to give compound (X). Compound (X) in presence of Na and dry ether produced compound (Y). Molar mass of compound (Y) is _______ \(\text{g mol}^{-1}\). (Nearest integer)

  1. A 20
  2. B 30
  3. C 40
  4. D 50
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 30

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reaction of Grignard reagent with water yields an alkane: \(RMgI + H_2O \rightarrow RH + Mg(OH)I\) Given that \(1 \text{ g}\) of the gas \(RH\) occupies \(1.4 \text{ dm}^3\) at STP, we can find its molar mass. Using the standard molar volume at STP (\(22.4 \text{ dm}^3\)):…
