Hydrocarbons MCQ questions with answers

The first 3 of 20 questions. Unlock the series for the rest, each with a solution.

  1. Q1. The major product obtained on acid-catalysed hydration (H2O, dilute H2SO4) of 2-methylpropene is:

    2-मेथिलप्रोपीन के अम्ल-उत्प्रेरित जलयोजन (H2O, तनु H2SO4) से प्राप्त मुख्य उत्पाद है:

    • A. 2-Methylpropan-1-ol / 2-मेथिलप्रोपेन-1-ऑल
    • B. 2-Methylpropan-2-ol / 2-मेथिलप्रोपेन-2-ऑल
    • C. Butan-1-ol / ब्यूटेन-1-ऑल
    • D. Butan-2-ol / ब्यूटेन-2-ऑल
    Solution

    Hydration follows Markovnikov's rule via the more stable tertiary carbocation (CH3)3C+, so water adds to give the tertiary alcohol 2-methylpropan-2-ol.

    जलयोजन मार्कोनीकॉफ नियम के अनुसार अधिक स्थायी तृतीयक कार्बधनायन (CH3)3C+ के माध्यम से होता है, अतः जल के योग से तृतीयक ऐल्कोहॉल 2-मेथिलप्रोपेन-2-ऑल प्राप्त होता है।

  2. Q2. Arrange the following isomeric alkanes in the correct DECREASING order of boiling point (highest first): n-pentane, 2-methylbutane, 2,2-dimethylpropane.

    निम्नलिखित समावयवी ऐल्केनों को क्वथनांक के सही घटते क्रम (सबसे अधिक पहले) में व्यवस्थित कीजिए: n-पेन्टेन, 2-मेथिलब्यूटेन, 2,2-डाइमेथिलप्रोपेन।

    • A. n-pentane > 2-methylbutane > 2,2-dimethylpropane / n-पेन्टेन > 2-मेथिलब्यूटेन > 2,2-डाइमेथिलप्रोपेन
    • B. 2-methylbutane > n-pentane > 2,2-dimethylpropane / 2-मेथिलब्यूटेन > n-पेन्टेन > 2,2-डाइमेथिलप्रोपेन
    • C. n-pentane > 2,2-dimethylpropane > 2-methylbutane / n-पेन्टेन > 2,2-डाइमेथिलप्रोपेन > 2-मेथिलब्यूटेन
    • D. 2,2-dimethylpropane > 2-methylbutane > n-pentane / 2,2-डाइमेथिलप्रोपेन > 2-मेथिलब्यूटेन > n-पेन्टेन
    Solution

    Branching makes a molecule more compact and spherical, reducing surface area and hence weakening London dispersion forces, so the boiling point falls with increasing branching: n-pentane (309 K) > 2-methylbutane (301 K) > 2,2-dimethylpropane (282.5 K).

    शाखन से अणु अधिक सघन और गोलाकार हो जाता है, जिससे पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल घटता है और इसलिए लंडन परिक्षेपण बल दुर्बल हो जाते हैं, अतः शाखन बढ़ने के साथ क्वथनांक घटता है: n-पेन्टेन (309 K) > 2-मेथिलब्यूटेन (301 K) > 2,2-डाइमेथिलप्रोपेन (282.5 K)।

  3. Q3. The number of distinct monochloro structural isomers obtained on free-radical monochlorination of 2-methylbutane is:

    2-मेथिलब्यूटेन के मुक्त-मूलक मोनोक्लोरीनीकरण पर प्राप्त होने वाले भिन्न मोनोक्लोरो संरचनात्मक समावयवियों की संख्या है:

    • A. 2
    • B. 5
    • C. 3
    • D. 4
    Solution

    2-Methylbutane, (CH3)2CH-CH2-CH3, has four non-equivalent sets of hydrogen atoms, giving four monochloro products: 1-chloro-2-methylbutane, 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, 2-chloro-3-methylbutane and 1-chloro-3-methylbutane.

    2-मेथिलब्यूटेन, (CH3)2CH-CH2-CH3, में हाइड्रोजन परमाणुओं के चार असमतुल्य समूह होते हैं, जिससे चार मोनोक्लोरो उत्पाद प्राप्त होते हैं: 1-क्लोरो-2-मेथिलब्यूटेन, 2-क्लोरो-2-मेथिलब्यूटेन, 2-क्लोरो-3-मेथिलब्यूटेन तथा 1-क्लोरो-3-मेथिलब्यूटेन।
