ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
HALO ALKANES AND HALOARENES
1.Explain SN2 mechanism
When methyl chloride is heated with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution methyl
alcohol is formed.
CH3 – Cl + K OH CH3 – OH + KCl
In this mechanism the nucleophile OH – attacks the carbon atom from the side
opposite to the chlorine atom to form a new C–OH bond. The formation of C – OH
bond and the cleavage of C – Cl bond take place simultaneously through the
transition state.
 This is a one-step reaction. Hence this is the rate-determining step.

 The rate of this reaction depends on both the concentration
ofalkylhalide and nucleophile,
 R=k[CH3Br]1[OH-]1, hence is second order reaction.
2. Write the equations for the steps in SN1 mechanism of the conversion of tert-
butyl bromide into tert-butyl alcohol.
When tertiary butyl bromide is heated with aqueous potassium hydroxide,
tertiary butyl alcohol is formed.
The mechanism involves two steps :
Step 1: Formation of carbocation

Tertiary butyl bromide undergoes ionisation to form tertiary carbocation and
bromide ion. The carbocation formed has a planar structure.

Step 2 :Attack of nucleophile on carbocation

The nucleophile OH – (obtained by the dissociation of KOH) attacks the
positive center of carbocation from any one of the directions forming the final
product, i.e., tertiary butyl alcohol.
fast
 Step-1 is a slow step and hence is a rate determining step.

 Since this reaction involves only one molecule, it is called unimolecular
substitution reaction.
 Therefore SN1 reaction is a first order reaction.
ALCOHOLS, PHENOLS AND ETHERS
1.Explain the mechanism of dehydration of ethanol to ethene.

Step2: Protonated alcohol loses water molecule to form ethyl carbocation.

Step3: Ethyl carbocation loses a proton (from  carbon) to form ethane.

ALDEHYDES, KETONES AND CARBOXILIC ACIDS
Explain the mechanism of addition of HCN to aldehyde.

Aldehydes and ketones react with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to give
cyanohydrine. This reaction is very slow. Therefore, it is catalysed by base and
the generated cyanide ions (CN-) is a stronger nucleophile which readily adds to
carbonyl compounds to yield corresponding cyanohydrin.

3. What is Lanthanoid contraction?What are the consequences of lanthanoid

contraction.
“Steady decrease in the size of lanthanides with increase in atomic number is known
as lanthanoid contraction.”
i) Due to lanthanoid contraction the elements of 5d series have almost the same
atomic and ionic radii as the corresponding elements of 4d series.
The atomic radii of Zr(160pm) and Hf(159m) is almost same. So they occur
together and hence it is difficult to separate them.
ii) Basic character of their hydroxide decreases.

valencies Primary valency and Secondary valency.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
HALO ALKANES AND HALOARENES
1.Halorenes or Aryl halides are extremely less reactive towards nucleophilic
substitution reactions. Give reasons.
Ans:
1) C-X bond acquires double bond character due to resonance.
2) Difference in hybridization of C-atom in C-X bond: In haloarenes the carbon atom

is SP2 hybridised. The SP2 hybridised carbon atom has a greater ‘s’ character (33.33%)
and is more electronegative. Hence, in haloarenes, the electron pair of C-X bond is
more tightly held by C-atom.
3) Instability of phenyl cation.

Problems on: Ecell=E0cell – 𝒍𝒐𝒈 [𝑹]
𝟐

Calculate emf of the cell in which the following reaction takesplace.
Ni(s) +2Ag+ (0.002M) →Ni2+(0.160M) +2Ag, Given: E0Cell=1.05v

.
Ans: Ecell=E0cell – 𝑙𝑜𝑔 [ ]
. [ . ]
= 1.05 – 𝑙𝑜𝑔 [ . ]
=1.05-0.02955 log4 x104

=1.05-0.02955(log1000+log4)
=1.05-0.02955(4+0.6021)
Ecell =0.914 V

 This is a one-step reaction. Hence this is the rate-determining step.

The mechanism involves two steps :

Step 1: Formation of carbocation

[M L S. Lecturer in Chemistry.  9448865864] Page 4

Step 2 :Attack of nucleophile on carbocation

 Step-1 is a slow step and hence is a rate determining step.

ALCOHOLS, PHENOLS AND ETHERS

1.Explain the mechanism of dehydration of ethanol to ethene.

Step1: Protonation of alcohol yields protonated alcohol.

Step2: Protonated alcohol loses water molecule to form ethyl carbocation.

Protonated alcohol Ethyl carbocation

Step3: Ethyl carbocation loses a proton (from  carbon) to form ethane.

ALDEHYDES, KETONES AND CARBOXILIC ACIDS

Explain the mechanism of addition of HCN to aldehyde.

Write postulates of Werner’s theory of coordination compounds.

Thus, the complex has octahedral geometry.

 It has no unpaired electrons and hence it is diamagnetic.

1.Derivation of integrate rate constant expression for zero order reaction:

[R]= kt+I ----------- (1)

Substituting the value in I in the equation (1)

This is called integrate rate expression for zero order reaction.

ln  R   kt  I -------------- (1)

Where, I is called integration constant.

When, t=0, then R=[R]0 is the initial concentration of the reactant.

Substitute the value of I in equation (1)
