very urgent questions:;; please help An orange solid A on heating gives a colourless gas B .The gas B in dry condition is passed over heated Ca to give a solid C.The solid C further reacts with water to produce gas D which forms a blue coloured compound E on reaction with copper sulphate solution.Identify A,B,C ,D and E and sequence of reactions involved.

OpenStudy (hba):

\[(NH_4)_2+Cr_2O7 \\ (orange solid- A) \]

OpenStudy (hba):

Now heat them so] (NH4)2+Cr2O7+heat--->

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another question........ A compound A on oxidation gives B(\[C _{2}H _{4}O _{2} \]) .A reacts with dilute NaOH and on subsequent heating forms C.C on catalytic hydrogenation gives D.Identufy A,B,C,D and E AND WRITE DOWN THE REACTIONS INVOLVED.

OpenStudy (hba):

@nitz The first ques is not yet done.

Parth (parthkohli):

Sorry, I don't know chem at all!

OpenStudy (andrefontex):

why does he need to stay with the fire more time pointed to the solid, to make it react for itself? . something he couldnt do on 1st and 2nd attempt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS8CneBEIzI

OpenStudy (hba):

For the first one.

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

here http://www.scribd.com/doc/82528192/Higher-Order-Thinking-Questions page no. 28 question number 7 @hba ;)

OpenStudy (hba):

@shubhamsrg I gave her the pdf but she was having a hard time so i snipped it.

OpenStudy (hba):

@shubhamsrg My intentions were clear Ahm Ahm :P

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Well I didn't say anything, why are you defending yourself! ;)

3rd question:: An organic compound X undergoes acid hydrolysis to form two compounds Y and Z.Y reacts with sodium carbonate to form A.A is heated with soda lime to form B(Methane \[CH _{4}\]) .Y on reduction with \[LiAlH _{4} \] forms Z.Identify X,Y and Z. WRITE THE REACTIONS INVOLVED.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4TH QUESTION::: An organic compound A which has characteristic odour on treatment with NaOH forms two compounds B and C.Compound B has molecular formula \[C _{7}H _{8}0\]. Each on oxidation gives back A.The compound C is a sodium salt of an acid.When C is treated with soda lime ,it yields an aromatic hydrocarbon D.Deduce the structures of A,B ,C and D.Write the sequence of reactions involved.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hw many questions are there in total @nitz ?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

For 2nd one, C2H4O2 can be CH3COOH A + NaOH -> CH3COONa + H20 Heating of acetic acid gives CO2 CO2 on catalytic hydrogenation gives methanol

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

For 3rd one, X is an ester at first look on inspection, it is CH3COOC2H5 On hydrolysis, it gives CH3COOH (Y) and C2H5OH(Z) Then A is clearly CH3COONa A + (NaOH and CaO) -> CH4 i.e B We also easily see reduction Y gives Z,

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

For 4th one, A is C6H5CHO C is C6H5COONa and B is then C6H5CH2OH D is C6H6 clearly. Hope that is it! phew! Read almost all my notes to crack these 4 questions. Damn my chemistry is pathetic! :(

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

For the reaction part : 1st is done 2)CH3COOH + NaOH -> CH3COONa + H20 CH3COOH+heat -> CO2 + CH4 hydrogenation of CO2 -> CH3OH 3)Hydrolysis of X(CH3COOC2H5) ->CH3COOH (Y) + C2H5OH(Z) CH3COOH + Na2CO3 -> CH3COONa(A) CH3COONa + Soda lime(NaOH and CaO) -> CH4(B) CH3COOH(Y) --reduction with LiAlH4-> C2H5OH(Z) 4)C6H5CHO (A) +NaOH ->C6H5COONa(C) +C6H5CH2OH (B) C6H5COONa + soda lime ->C6H6 (D) C -oxidation->A B-oxidation->A

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

I never studied/wrote this much for even myself! :O

OpenStudy (hba):

lol,I can agree on the above statement :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An organic compound A has molecular formula \[C _{5}H _{10}0\].It doesn't reduce Tollen's reagent but forms an orange precipitate with Brady's reagent.It forms a carboxic acid B with molecular formula \[C _{3}H _{6}0_{2}\] when treated with alkaline \[KMnO _{4}\],yellow precipitate on treatment with NaOH and \[I _{2}\].Under vigorous conditions ,on oxidation ,it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid.Sodium salt of B gives a hydrocarbon C in Kolbe's electrolyte reduction.Identify A,B,C and write the sequence of reactions involved.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shubhamsrg

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Correction in 2nd question I missed "A" there so A must be ethanol since B is acetic acid CH3CH2OH + NaOH -> CH3CH2ONa(Sodium ethanoate) + H2O Am confused here. Is A heated alone ? Or its heated after reacting with Naoh?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

A must have been heated C will remain the same thus C is CO2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

and D is then CH4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you @shubhamsrg

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Am glad and VERY SURPRISED that I could help in CHEMISTRY ! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check the second question

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Language of question is not very clear, BUT, its highly probable that aldol condensation is being talked about here since it further gets dehydrated. hmm

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

A should be then, CH3CHO CH3CHO -oxidation-> CH3COOH(B) now there will be aldol condensation of A 2moles of CH3CHO -NaOH-> CH3CH(OH)CH2CHO +H2O -heating-> CH3CH=CHCHO (C) hydrogenation(H2/Ni) of C->C4H9OH (D)

OpenStudy (andrefontex):

@shubhamsrg can you send me any good links to study it? i have exam of Organic II next week.

OpenStudy (andrefontex):

with those condensed formulas, i can't understand really well

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

Am really sorry I can't help you much as my organic itself quite bad. You may though, google over, best of luck .

OpenStudy (andrefontex):

ty anyway
