31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids - 1 - Question 6

CH3CHO and C6H5CH2CHO can be distinguished chemically by: [2012]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids - 1 - Question 6

CH3CHO and C6H5CH2CHO both are aldehydes so they can give the test of Tollen’s reagent, Fehling's solution and Benedict’s solution.

The carbonyl compounds with the structure R-CO-CH3 can only give the Iodoform test.

CH3CHO is the only aldehyde which reacts with NaOH and I2 to give yellow crystals of Iodoform while C6H5CH2CHO doesn’t react with it. 

So, the iodoform test is used to distinguish between CH3CHO and C6H5CH2CHO compounds. 

CH3CHO + 3I+ 4NaOH ⟶ CHI+ HCOONa + 3NaI +3H2O

C6H5CH2CHO + I+ 4NaOH⟶ No reaction.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids - 1 - Question 23

Which of the following represents the correctorder of the acidity in the given compounds?          [2007]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids - 1 - Question 23

Electron withdrawing substituent (like
halogen, —NO2, C6H5 etc.) would disperse
the negative charge and hence stabilise the
carboxylate ion and thus increase acidity
of the parent acid. On the other hand,
electron-releasing substituents would
intensify the negative charge, destabilise
the carboxylate ion and thus decrease
acidity of the parent acid.
Electronegativity decreases in order
F > Cl > Br
and hence –I effect also decreases in the
same order, therefore the correct option is

FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > BrCH2COOH> CH3COOH

Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones
due to +I effect of –CH3 group. There are
two – CH3 group in acetone which reduces
+ve charge density on carbon atom of
carbonyl group. More hindered carbonyl
group too becomes less reactive. So in the
give case CH3CHO is the right choice.

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Aldehydes, Ketones & Carboxylic Acids - 1 - Question 30

Enolic form predominates in compounds
containing two carbonyl groups separated
by a – CH2 group. This is due to
following two factors.
(i) Presence of conjugation which
increases stability.
(ii) Formation of intramolecular hydrogen
bond between enolic hydroxyl
group and second carbonyl group
which leads to stablisation of the
molecule. Hence the correct answer is
III > II > I.
