    Which of the following alkanes can not be prepared by Wurtz reaction?

    • Methane

    • Ethane

    • Propane

    • Butane

    Correct Answer
    A. Methane
    Explanation
    The Wurtz reaction is a method used to prepare alkanes by reacting alkyl halides with sodium metal in the presence of an inert solvent. However, methane cannot be prepared by the Wurtz reaction because it does not have a halogen atom to react with sodium metal. Methane is the simplest alkane and consists of only one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. Since it lacks a halogen atom, it cannot undergo the Wurtz reaction.

    Which of the following relations is correct?

    • Cp x Cv = R 

    • Cp – Cv = R

    • Cv – Cp = R

    • Cp + Cv = R

    Correct Answer
    A. Cp – Cv = R
    Explanation
    The correct relation is Cp - Cv = R. This equation represents the difference between the specific heat at constant pressure (Cp) and the specific heat at constant volume (Cv) being equal to the gas constant (R). This equation is derived from the first law of thermodynamics and is used to relate the thermodynamic properties of a gas.

    The efficiency of heat engine is always:

    • Less than one

    • More than one

    • Zero

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Less than one
    Explanation
    The efficiency of a heat engine is always less than one because it represents the ratio of useful work output to the total energy input. In any heat engine, some energy is always lost as waste heat, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency. Therefore, the efficiency value will always be less than one, indicating that not all of the input energy is converted into useful work.

    The entropy of the universe is:

    • Increases

    • Decreases

    • Does not change

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Increases
    Explanation
    Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time. This means that the universe as a whole is constantly moving towards a state of higher disorder. Therefore, the correct answer is "Increases".

    EDTA is which type of ligand?

    • Bidentate

    • Tridentate

    • Quadridentate

    • Hexadentate

    Correct Answer
    A. Hexadentate
    Explanation
    EDTA is a hexadentate ligand because it has six donor atoms that can form coordinate bonds with a central metal ion. The six donor atoms in EDTA are the two nitrogen atoms from the amino groups and the four oxygen atoms from the carboxylate groups. This allows EDTA to form strong and stable complexes with metal ions by coordinating through all six of its donor atoms simultaneously.

    Organic compounds are non-conductors of electricity because they:

    • Are insoluble in water

    • Do not form ions

    • Have low melting point

    • Form free radicals

    Correct Answer
    A. Do not form ions
    Explanation
    Organic compounds are non-conductors of electricity because they do not form ions. Unlike inorganic compounds, which often dissociate into ions in water, organic compounds do not have the ability to form ions due to their molecular structure. This lack of ions prevents the flow of electric current through the compound, making it a non-conductor of electricity.

    Resonance is not exhibited by

    • Phenol

    • Aniline

    • Nitrobenzene

    • Cyclohexane

    Correct Answer
    A. Cyclohexane
    Explanation
    Resonance is a phenomenon where electrons are delocalized and can move between different atoms or bonds. It is typically observed in molecules with conjugated systems, such as phenol, aniline, and nitrobenzene, where there are alternating double and single bonds. However, cyclohexane does not have any conjugated systems or alternating double and single bonds, so it does not exhibit resonance.

    Which of the following compounds is an   example of alkynes?

    • C3H8

    • C3H6

    • C3H4

    • C4H8

    Correct Answer
    A. C3H4
    Explanation
    C3H4 is an example of alkynes because it has a triple bond between two carbon atoms. Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one triple bond between carbon atoms. In this case, C3H4 has three carbon atoms and one triple bond, making it an alkyne. C3H8, C3H6, and C4H8 do not have triple bonds and are not examples of alkynes.

    Which of the following species does not act as nucleophile?

    • ROH

    • ROR

    • PCl3

    • BF3

    Correct Answer
    A. BF3
    Explanation
    BF3 does not act as a nucleophile because it does not have a lone pair of electrons to donate. Nucleophiles are species that donate electron pairs to form new chemical bonds. In the case of BF3, it is an electron-deficient molecule with an incomplete octet, meaning it lacks the necessary electron pair to act as a nucleophile.

    Heterolytic fission  of C-Br bond results in the formation of:

    • Free radicals

    • Carbanion

    • Carbocation

    • Carbanion and carbocation

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbanion and carbocation
    Explanation
    Heterolytic fission of a C-Br bond results in the formation of a carbanion and a carbocation. Heterolytic fission occurs when the bond breaks unevenly, with one atom receiving both electrons from the bond. In this case, the carbon atom gains the electron pair, forming a carbanion, while the bromine atom becomes positively charged, forming a carbocation. This process is a common reaction in organic chemistry, often seen in nucleophilic substitution reactions involving alkyl halides.

    The standard electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode.

    • Positive

    • Negative

    • Zero

    • Both positive and negative

    Correct Answer
    A. Zero
    Explanation
    The standard electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode is zero because it is used as a reference electrode to measure the electrode potentials of other half-cells. The hydrogen electrode consists of a platinum electrode in contact with a solution of hydrogen ions at a pressure of 1 atm. The electrode potential is measured relative to the standard hydrogen electrode, which is assigned a value of zero. This means that the hydrogen electrode does not have a tendency to gain or lose electrons and serves as a baseline for comparing the electrode potentials of other half-cells.
