9. In the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of petrol..... and ..... are used as the raw materials
A. H2 ;CO
Explanation: Fischer-Tropsch Process
10. Which one of the following reactions is most suitable for the preparation of n-propyl benzene
(a) Friedel-Craft's reaction (b) Wurtz reaction
(c) Wurtz-Fittig reaction (d) Grignard reaction
A. Wurtz-Fittig reaction
Explanation:
11. Propane cannot be prepared from which reaction
A. 
Explanation: Hydroboration of alkenes followed by hydrolysis in basic medium yield alcohols and not the alkanes.
A. Koch reaction
Explanation:
Koch reaction : (Carboxylation of Alkene)
13. The compound 
on reaction with NaIO4 in the presence of KMnO4 gives
A. CH3COCH3 + CH3CHO
Explanation:
A. Ag2C2
Explanation:
15. Naphthalene is a/an
A. Molecular solid
Explanation: Naphthalene is a molecular solid. If the crystals contains only individuals atoms; as in solid argon or krypton or if they are composed of non polar molecules as in naphthalene, the only attraction between the molecules are the London forces.
16. Which of the following is not aromatic
A. 1, 3, 5 heptatriene
Explanation: A compound is said to be aromatic if it is planar and there is complete delocalization of p electrons, which is only possilble if it is a conjugated cyclic system and number of electrons used in delocalization is (4n + 2) . 1, 3, 5 heptatriene is not an aromatic compound because complete delocalization of p electrons, is not possible in it.
17. Acetylene reacts with HCN in the presence of Ba(CN)2 to yield
A. Vinyl cyanide
Explanation:
18. Write the products of the addition reaction C = C + XY 
A. 
Explanation: Addition reaction means addition on double bond.
19. Formation of polyethylene from calcium carbide takes place as follows
CaC2 + 2H2O Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
C2H2 + H2 C2H4
n(C2H4) (-CH2 - CH2 -)n
The amount of polyethylene obtained from 64.1 kg CaC2 is
A. 28 kg
Explanation:
64g of CaC2 gives 28g of ethylene
∴ 64kg of CaC2 will give 28kg of polyethylene
20. Nitrobenzene can be prepared from benzene by using a mixture of conc. HNO3 and conc. H2SO4. In the nitrating mixture, HNO3 acts as a
A. Base
Explanation:
21. A group which deactivates the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution but which directs the incoming group principally to the o- and p-positions is
A. -Cl
Explanation: Electron accepting groups which make the substitution difficult are known of deactivating groups. the group or substituent already present on the ring also decides the position of incoming group. ortho and para directing groups are as follow
-CH3 ,C2H5 (-R),-NH2 ,-OH , halogens, (Cl,Br, I)
22. Which order is correct for the decreasing reactivity to ring monobromination of the following compounds
C6H5CH3 , C6H5COOH , C6H6 C6H5 NO2
I II III IV
A. I > III > II > IV
Explanation:
23. Benzene is obtained by
A. Polymerisation of three C2H2 molecules
Explanation: Polymerisation
24. Toluene can be oxidised to benzoic acid by
A. K2Cr2O7
Explanation:
25. 
Identify A and B in the given reaction
A. C2H2 and CH3CHO
Explanation: Wohler reaction :
26. The compound X on reaction with HgSO4 + H2SO4 gives Y which on oxidation gives acetic acid. X is
A: (a) C2H2
Explanation :
27. What is formed when calcium carbide react with heavy water
A: (a) C2D2
Explanation: CaC2 + 2D2O → C2D2 + Ca(OD)2
