Question 12.21. 
In Duma's method for estimation of nitrogen, 0.3 g of an organic compound gave 50 mL of nitrogen collected at 300 K temperature and 715 mm pressure, calculete the percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound. (Aqueous tension at 300 K = 15 mm) 
Answer: 
Given, 
Weight of organic compound = 0.3 g 
Volume of nitrogen collected = 50 mL 
Temperature = 300 K 
Aqueous tension at 300 K = 15 mm 
∴ Actual pressure (P) = 715 - 15 = 700 mm 
Volume of nitrogen at STP = \(\frac{\mathrm{P} \times \mathrm{V} \times 273}{760 \times T}\)
\(=\frac{700 \times 50 \times 273}{760 \times 300}=41.9 \mathrm{~mL}\) 
∴ 22, 400 mL of N, at STP weights = 28 g 
∴ 41.9 mL nitrogen weights = \(\frac{28 \times 419}{22400} \mathrm{~g}\)
∴ \(\% \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~N}=\frac{28 \times 41.9 \times 100}{22400 \times 0.3}=\mathbf{1 7 . 4 6} \%\)

Weight of AgBr = 0.12 g 
Molor mass of AgBr = 108 + 80 = 188 g mol-1 
∵ 188 g AgBr contains 80g bromine. 
∴ 0.12 g AgBr contains = \(\frac{80 \times 0.12}{188} \mathrm{~g}\)
\(\frac{80 \times 0.12 \times 100}{188 \times 0.15}\)
= 34.04% 

Question 12.24. 
In sulphur estimation, 0.157 g of an organic compound gave 0.4813 of barium  sulphate. What is the percentage of sulphur in the compound?

The permanent displacement of bonding electrons towards a more electronegative element along a saturated chain in called inductive effect. 
RBSE Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 12 Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques 60

It is of two types: 
(a) + I effect: When an atom or group of atoms releases bonding electrons towards more electronegative element then it is said to have + I effect. 
e.g. CH3, -CH2 CH3 etc. 

(b) - I effect: When an atom or group of atoms attract bonding electrons towards itself, then it is said to have - I effect 
e.g. Cl-, Br, -NO2, etc. 

Electromeric Effect: It involves the transfer of the shared pair of π-electrons to either of the two atoms attached to multiple bond in the presence of attacking agent. It is a temporary effect. 
RBSE Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 12 Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques 61

It is of two types: 
 (a)+ E effect: In this effect, the electrons are transferred towards the attacking reagent. 
(b) E effect: In this effect, the electrons are transferred away from the attaking reagent. 
(i) Cl,CCOOH > Cl3CHCOOH > ClCH2COOH 
The order of acidity can be explained on the basis of inductive effect (I effect). As the number of chlorine atoms increases the -I effect increases, with the increase in I effect, the acid strength also increases accordingly. 

(ii) CH3CH2COOH > (CH3)2 CHCOOH > (CH3)3 CCOOH The order of acidity can be explained on the basis of inductive effect (+ I effect). As the number of alkyl grups increases the + I effect, also increases with the increase in +I effect, the acid strength also increases accordingly.

Question 12.18. 
Give a brief description of the principles of the following techniques taking an examples in each case. 
(i) Crystallisation 
(ii) Distillation
(iii) Chromatography 
Answer: 
(i) Crystallisation 
This technique is one of the most important technique for the purification of solid organic compounds. It is based on the difference in the solubilities of the compound and the impurities in a suitable solvent. In this technique the impure compound, to be purified is dissolved in a solvent in which it is sparingly soluble at roon temperature but it is soluble at high temperature. The solution so obtained is concentrated to get a nearly saturated solution. When the solution is cooled, pure compound crystallines out and is removed by filtration. The filtrate contains impurities and small amount of the compound. Repeated cystallisation becomes necessary for the purification of compounds having impurities of comparable solubilities. 

(ii) Distillation: 
This technique is used to separate volatile liquids from non-volatile impurities as well as the liquids having sufficient difference in their boiling points. For example, chloroform (Bp 334K) and aniline (Bp 47K) are easily separated from this technique. 
Process In this technique, the liquid mixture to be separate is taken in a round bottom flask and heated carefully. On boiling first of all the vapours of lower boiling point are formed. The vapours are condensed by using a condenser and the liquid is collected in a receiver. The vapours of higher boiling point form later and the liquid can be collected separetely. 

RBSE Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 12 Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques 62
The vapours of a substance formed are condensed and the liquid is collected in conical flask. 

(iii) Chromatography: 
Chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture. The term chromatography is based on the Greek word chroma (means colour), since this technique was first used for the separation of coloured substances found in plants. The mixture is dissolved in a fluid called the mobile phase, which carries it through a structure holding another material 
 called the stationary phase. The various constituents of the mixture travel at diffferent speeds, causing them to separate. 
On the basis of principle involved, Chromatography is categorized into classes: 

  1. Adsorption chromatography 
  2. Partition Chromatography 

Question 12.19. 
Describe the method, which can be used to separate two  compounds with different solubilities in a solvents. 
Answer: 
Fractional crystallistion can be used to separate two compounds with different solubilites in a solvents. In this process, a hot saturated solution of these two compounds is allowed to cool, the less soluble compound crystallises out while the more soluble compound remains in the solution. The crystals are separate from the mother liquor and the mother liquor is again concentrated and the hot solution again allowed to cool when the crystals of the second compound are obtained. These crystals are again filtered and dried. 

Question 12.20. 
What is the difference between distillation under reduced pressure and steam distillation? 
Answer: 

Distillation

Distillation under reduced pressuere

Steam distillation

This method is used to purify the compounds that are associated with non-volatile impurities which do not decompose on boiling.

e.g. A mixture of chloroform and aniline is separated by this method.

This method is used to purify liquid that tends to decompose on boiling.

e.g glycerol is purified by this method. reduced pressure, it boils at 453 K without decomposition, as it decomposes at 593 K.

This method is used to purify ar organic compound, which is steam volatile and immiscible in water. e.g. A mixture of water and aniline is separated by this method.


Question 12.21. 
Discuss the Chemistry of Lassaigne's test. 
Answer: 
Lassaigne's test is used to detect the pressence of elements: Nitrogen (N), Sulphur (S), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br) and Iodine (I). This test involves following two steps: 

  1. Preaparation of sodium fusion extract (SFE) 
  2. Detection of elements using SFE. 

1. Preparation of SFE or Lassaigne's Extract: A small amount of oganic substance is fused with small quantity of sodium metal in a fusion tube. The red hot fusion tube is then plugged into distilled water and the contents are boiled for a few minutes, the cooled and filtered. The filtrate obtained is called sodium fusion extract (SFE) or Lasaigne's extract. It is usually alkaline. If it is not alkaline, a few drops of NaOH solution may be added to make it alkaline. 

2. Detection of Elements using SFE : 
Thus obtained SFE is used to detect the presence of elements like N, S, Cl, Br and I. 
The elements in the organic compound react with sodium during fusion raction as follows: 
Na + C + N → NaCN (if N is present) 
2Na + S → Na2S (if S is present) 
Na + S + C + N → NaSCN 
(if both N and S are present and insufficient amount of Na is used) 
2Na + X2 → 2NaX (if halogens are present) 
Where (X = Cl, Br,I) 
Hence SFE may conatin any of or all of ionic forms of respective elements.

Question 12.22. 
Differentiate between the principle of estimation of nitrogen in an organic compound by 
(i) Duma's method and 
(ii) Kjeldahl's method. 
Answer: 

Distillation

Distillation under reduced pressuere

In this method a known amount of nitrogen containing organic compound is heated strongly with excess of copper oxide in an atmosphere of CO2 to produce free nitrgoen, which is collected over an aqueous solution of KOH. The volume of nitrogen produced is measured at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

In this method a known amount of nitrogen containing compound is heated with conc. H2SO4. The nitrogen present is quantitativeiy converted into ammonium sulphate. It is then distilled with excess of NaOH, ammonia NH3  gas is evolved which is passed into a known volume of H2SO4. The unused acid is estimated by volumetric analysis and the amount of ammonia produced is determined, So, the % of nitrogen can be estimated.


Question 12.23. 
Discuss the principle of estimation of halogen suphur and phosphorous present in an organic compound. 
Answer: 
Estimation of Halogens 
Carius method : A known weight of organic compound is heated with fuming nitric acid in the presence of silver nitrate contained in a hard glass tube known as Carius tube, in a furnace. Carbon and hydrogen present in the compound are oxidised to carbon dioxide and water. The halogen present forms the corresponding. Silver halide (AgX). It is filtered, washed dried and weighed. Let the mass of organic compound taken = m gm. 
Mass of AgX formed = m1 g 
1 mole of AgX contains 1 mol of X 
Mass of halogen in m1 g of AgX = atomic mass of Xx m1 g /molecular mass of AgX 
RBSE Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 12 Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques 63

Estimation of Sulphur: 
A known mass of an organic compound is heated in a Carius tube with sodium peroxide or fuming nitric acid. Sulphur present in the compound is oxidsed to sulphuric acid. It is precipitated as barium sulphate by adding excess of barium chloride solution in water. 
The percentage of sulphur can be calculated from the mass of barium sulphate. 
Let the mass of organic compound taken = mg and 
the mass of barium sulphate formed = m.g 
1 mol of BaSO4 = 233 g BaSO4 = 32 g sulphur 
m1g. BaSO4 contains  \(=\frac{32 \times m_1}{233} \text { g sulphur }\)
% of S = \(\frac{32 \times m_1 \times 100}{233 \times m}\)
 
Estimation of Phosphorus: 
A known mass of organic compound is heated with fuming nitric acid where upon phosphours present in the compound is oxidised to phosphorus acid. It is precipitated as ammonium phosphomolybdate (NH4)3. PO4. 12M0O3, by adding ammonia and ammonium molybdate. Alternatively phosphoric acid may be precipitated as MgNH,PO by adding ammonia and ammonium molybdate. Alternatively, phosphoric acid may be precipitated which on ignition yields Mg2P2O7. Let the mass of organic compound taken = mg and mass of ammonium phosphomolybdate = m1g 
Molar mass of (NH4)3PO4.12MoO1 = 1877g 
% of phosphorus = \(\frac{31 \times m_1 \times 100}{1877 \times m}\)

Question 12.24 
Explain the principle of paper chromatography. 
Answer: 
Paper chromatography is based on continuous differential partitioning of compounds of a mixture between stationary and mobile phase. In this technique chromatography paper acts as stationary phase. A strip of this paper spotted at the base with the solution of the mixture is suspended in a suitable solvent or a mixture of solvents. The solvent acts as moblie phase. The solvent rises up the paper by capillary action and flows over the spot. The paper selectively retains various components on the basis of differing partition in the two phases. The paper strip so developed is called chromatogram. The spots of the separated coloured compounds are visible at different heights from the position of initial spot on the chromatogram. The sample shots can be seen under UV light or by use of suitable spray reagent.

Question 12.25. 
Why is nitric acid added to sodium extract before adding silver nitrate for testing halogens? 
Answer: 
Nitric acid is added to sodium extract before adding silver nitrate for testing halogen for the decomposition of NaCN to HCN and Na2S to H2S and to expel these gases so, if any nitrogen and sulphur present in the form of NaCN and Na2S then they are removed from two solution. 
NaCN + HNO3  → Na2S + HCN
NaNO3 + HNO3 →  2 NaNO3 + H2

Question 12.26. 
Explain the reason for the fusion of an organic compound with metallic sodium for testing nitrogen, sulphur, and halogens. 
Answer: 
In organic compound, nitrogen, sulphur and halogens are covalently bonded. So they have to be first converted into ionic form for their detection. So organic compound is fused with metallic sodium to form Lassaigne's extract. The chemical equations take place.

Question 12.27. 
Name a suitable technique of separation of the compounds from a mixture of calcium sulphate and camphor. 
Answer: 
Sublimation is used to separate the components from a mixture of calcium sulphate and camphor. The process involves the conversion of solid directly into vapour state without passing through the liquid state. As we known that, camphor is a sublimate compound and calcium sulphate is non-sublimate compound. So on heating camphor will sublime whereas calcium suphate will be left behind. 

Question 12.28. 
Explain why an organic liquid vaporises at a temperature below its boiling point in its steam distillation? 
Answer: 
It steam distillation, the organic liquid starts to boil when the sum of vapour pressure due to the organic liquid (p1) and the vapour pressure due to water (P2) becomes equal to atmospheric pressure (p), that is, 
p = P1 + P2 
since p1 < P2, organic liquid will vapourise at a lower temperature than its boiling points. 

Question 12.29. 
Will CCl4 give white precipitate of AgCl on heating it with silver ntirate ? Gives reason for your answer. 
Answer: 
CCl4 will not given the white precipitate of silver chloride on heating it with silver nitrate. This is due to h the fact that the chlorine atoms are covalently bonded to T carbon in CCl4. To get the precipitate, it should be present in ionic form and for this, it is necessary to prepare the Lassaigne's extract of carbon tetrachloride. N 

Question 12.30. 
Why is solution of potassium hydroxide used absorb carbon dioxide evolved? h during the estimation of carbon present in an organic compound? 
Answer: 
Carbon dioxide is acidic in nature and potassium hydroxide is a strong base. Hence, carbon dioxide reacts with potassium hydroxide to form potassium carbonate and water as follows: 
2KOH + CO2 → K2CO3 + H2
Hence, the mass of the U-tube containing KOH increases. This increase in the mass of U-tube gives the mass of CO2 produced. From its mass the percentge of carbon in the organic compound can be estimated.

Question 12.32. 
An organic compound contains 69% carbon and 4.8% hydrogen, the remainder being oxygen. Calculate the masses of carbon dioxide and water produced when 0.20 g of this substance is subjected to complete combustion. 
Answer: 
% of carbon in organic compound = 69% 
100 g of organic compound contains 69 g of carbon. 
∵ 0.2 g of organic compound will contain = \(\frac{69 \times 0.2}{100}\)
Molecular mass of carbon dioxide, CO2 = 44g 
∵ 12 g of carbon is contained in 44 g of CO2
Therefore, 0.138 g of carbon will be contained in 
\(\frac{44 \times 0.138}{12}\)
= 0.506 g of CO
Thus, % of hydrogen in organic compound is 4.8. 
e., 100 g of organic compound contains 4.8 g of ydrogen. 
Therefore, 0.2 g of organic compound will contain 
\(\frac{4.8 \times 0.2}{100}=0.0096 \mathrm{~g} \text { of } \mathrm{H}\)
Molecular mass of water H2O = 18g. 
∵ 2 g of hydrogen is present in 18 g of water 0.0096 g of 
hydrogen will be contained of water 
\(=\frac{18 \times 0.0096}{2}\)
0.0864 g of water 

Question 12.33. 
A sample of 0.50 g of an organi compound was treated according t Kjeldahl's method. The ammonia evolve was absorbed in 50 ml of 0.5 M H2SO4 The residual acid required 60 mL of 0.5 N solution of NaOH for neutralisation. Fin the percentage composition of nitroge in the compound. 
Answer: 
Given, mass of organic compound = 0.50 g 
60 mL of 0.50 M solution of NaOH was required b residual acid for neutralisation. 
60 mL of 0.5 NaOH solution = \(\frac{60}{2}\)
H2SO4 = 30 mL of 0.5 M H2SO
Acid consumed in absorption of evolved ammonia i (50 - 30) mL = 20 mL 
Again, 20 mL of 0.5 M H2SO4 = 40 mL of 0.5 M NH2
Also, since 1000 mL of 1 m NH3 contains 14 g of nitrogen. 
40 mL of 0.5 M NH3 will contain 
\(\frac{14 \times 40}{1000} \times 0.5\)
= 0.28 g of N 
∵ Percentage of nitrogen in 0.50 g of organic compound 
\(=\frac{0.28}{0.50} \times 100=\mathbf{5 6} \%\)

Question 12.34. 
0.3780 g of an organic chloro compound  gave 0.5740 g of silver chloride in Cariu estimation. Calculate the percentage o chlorine present in the compound. 
Answer: 
Given, Mass of organic compound is 0.3780 g. 
Mass of AgCl formed = 0.5740 g 
1 mol of AgCl contains 1 mol of Cl. 
Thus, mass of chlorine in 0.5740 g of AgCl 
\(\frac{35.5 \times 0.5740}{143.32}=\mathbf{0 . 1 4 2 1} \mathrm{g}\)
% of chlorine = \(\frac{0.1421}{0.3780}\) × 100 = 37.59% 

Question 12.35.
In the estimation of sulphur by Carius method. 0.468 g of an organic sulphu compound afforded 0.668 g of barium sulphate. Find out the percentage of sulphur in the given compound. 
Answer: 
Given: mass of organic compound = 0.468 g 
Mass of BaSO4 formed = 0.668 g 
1 mol of BaSO4 = 233 g of BaSO4 = 32 g of sulphur 
Thus, 0.668 g of BaSO4 contains = \(\frac{32 \times 0.668}{233}\)
= 0.0917 g of sulphur 
% of sulphur = \(\frac{0.197}{0.468} \times 100\) = 19.59%
