Bihar Board Class 12 Chemistry Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Intext Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Write structures of the following compounds:
(i) 2-Chloro-3-methyl pentane
(ii) l-Chloro-4-ethyl cyclohexane
(iii) 4-tert-Butyl-3-iodoheptane
(iv) 1, 4-Dibromobut-2-ene
(v) l-Bromo-4-sec-butyl-2-methylbenzene.
Answer:

Question 2.
Why is sulphuric acid not used during the reaction of alcohols with KI.
Answer:
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) cannot be used along with KI in the conversion of an alcohol to an alkyl iodide as it converts KI to corresponding HI and then oxidizes it to I2.
(i) KI + H2SO4 → KHSO4 + HI
(ii) H2SO4 → H2O + SO2 + O.
2HI + O → H2O +I2

Question 3.
Write structures of different dihalogen derivatives of propane.
Answer:

(ii)ClCH2CH2CH2Cl
(iii) Cl2CHCH2CH3
(iv) CH3CCl2CH3

Question 4
Among the isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C5H12, identify the one that on photochemical chlorination yields:
(i) A single monochloride,
(ii) Three isomeric monochlorides,
(iii) Four isomeric monochlorides.
Answer:

All the hydrogen atoms of 4 methyl groups are equivalent and replacement of any hydrogen will give the same product.

Similarly, the equivalent hydrogens are grouped as a, b, c and d. Thus, four isomeric products are possible.

Question 5.
A hydrocarbon C5H10 does not react with chlorine in dark but gives a single mono chloro compound C5H9 Cl in bright sunlight. Identify the hydrocarbon.

C5H10 cannot be an alkene since it does not give addition reaction with Cl2 in dark. Therefore it must be a cyclic hydrocarbon. Moreover, it gives a single mono chloro compound C5H9 Cl with Cl2 in bright sunlight, therefore, it must be symmetrical, i.e., Cyclopentane Bihar Board Class 12 Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 20

Question 12.
Explain why (i) the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride (ii) alkyl halides, though polar, are immiscible with water, (iii) Grignard’s reagents should be prepared under anhydrous conditions?
Answer:
(i) The dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride Bihar Board Class 12 Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 40 because C attached to Cl in Chlorobenzene is sp2 hybridized and so more electronegative than C attached to Cl is cyclohexyl chloride which is sp3 hybridized and so less electronegative. Therefore C of C—Cl bond in cyclohexyl chloride is more willing to release electrons to chlorine and thus is more polar.

(ii) Alkyl halides though polar (2.05-2.15 D) are insoluble in water because they can neither form hydrogen bonds with water nor can they break the hydrogen bonds already existing between water molecules.

(iii) Grignard reagents are highly reactive and react with any source of proton to give hydrocarbons. Even water is sufficiently acidic to convert them to corresponding hydrocarbons.
R-Mg-X + H2O → R-H + Mg (OH) X
Therefore, Grignard reagents should be prepared under only anhydrous conditions like in ether.

p-Dichldrobenzene has higher m.p. andsolubility toll those of o- and m-isomers. Discuss.
Answer:
p-Dichlorobehzene has higher m.p. and solubility than those of o- and m-isomers because p-isomer is more symmetrical and hence its molecular forces of attraction are stroriger and hence the p-isomer melts at a higher temperature and has comparatively higher solubility.

(xvii) Chloroethane to butane

Question 20.
The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohols, but in the presence of alcoholic ] KOH alkenes are major products. Explain.
Answer:
In aqueous solution KOH is almost completely ionised to give OH ions which being a strong nucleophile brings about a; substitution reaction on alkyl chloride to form alcohols. Further in the aq. solution OH ions are highly solvated (hydrated). This solvation reduces the basic character of OH ions which, therefore, fail to abstract a hydrogen from the β-carbon of the alkyl chloride to form an alkene.

In contrast, an alcoholic solution of KOH contains alkoxide Bihar Board Class 12 Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 66 ions which being a much stronger base than OH ions preferentially eliminates a molecule of HC1 from an alkyl halide to form alkenes.
R-Cl + KOH (aq) → R-OH + KCl [Substitution]
CH3CH2CH2Cl + KOH (ale.) → CH3CH = CH2 [Elimination].


Question 21.
Primary alkyl halide C4H9Br (a) reacted with alcoholic, KOH to give compound (b). Compound (b) reacted with HBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (a). When (a) was reacted with sodium metal it gives a compound (d), C8H18 which is different from the compound I when n-butyl bromide was reacted with sodium. Give the structural formula of (a) and write the equations for all the reactions. s
Answer:
C4H9Br has two primary alkyl halides:

n-Butyl bromide gives a different product (C8H18) on treatment with sodium than that given by isobutyl bromide (C8H18).

Evidently (c) is an isomer of (a).
Therefore compound (a) is isobutyl bromide and not n-Butyl bromide.

Question 22.
What happens when
(i) n-butyl chloride is treated with alcoholic KOH.
(ii) bromobenzene is treated with Mg in the presence of dry ether,
(iii) chlorobenzene is subjected to hydrolysis,
(iv) ethyl chloride is treated with (aq.) KOH,
(v) methyl bromide is treated with sodium in the presence of dry ether,
(vi) methyl chloride is treated with KCN?
Answer:
(i)

(ii) When bromobenzene is treated with Mg in the presence of dry ether, phenyl magnesium bromide (Grignard’s reagent) is formed.
