Question Explanation: The question asks for the product formed when the given vicinal diol
containing strained rings is treated with acid and heat.
Concept: Pinacol–Pinacolone Rearrangement, Carbocation Stability, Ring Expansion/Shift
Solution:
Under acidic conditions, one –OH group gets protonated and leaves as H₂O, forming a
carbocation.
In pinacol rearrangement, the group with greater migratory aptitude shifts to stabilize the
carbocation.
Here, phenyl (Ph) group migrates preferentially over small cycloalkyl groups due to better
stabilization of positive charge by resonance.
This migration leads to formation of a ketone, with Ph shift and retention of the cyclobutyl
group attached to the carbonyl carbon.
Thus, the structure shown in Option (3) corresponds to the correct pinacolone product.

Question Explanation: We're given the pKb of the fluoride ion (F–) and need to find the Ka of
hydrofluoric acid (HF). HF and F– are a conjugate acid-base pair. The relationship between Ka,
Kb, and Kw (the ion product constant of water) is crucial here.
Concept:
• Relationship between Ka, Kb, and Kw.
• At 25ºC, Kw = 1.0 × 10–14, so pKw = 14
• pKa + pKb = pKw
• pKa = –log(Ka) and pKb = –log(Kb)
Solution:
1. Calculate pKa of HF: pKa = pKw – pKb = 14 – 10.3 = 3.7
2. Calculate Ka of HF: pKa = –logKa
3.7 = –logKa
∴ Ka = 2 × 10–4

EN(X) - EN(E) = 0.5 ⇒ 2.5 - EN(E) = 0.5 ⇒ EN(E) = 2.0.
EN(Y) - EN(E) = 1.0 ⇒ EN(Y) - 2.0 = 1.0 ⇒ EN(Y) = 3.0.
Let's check the options:
(A) ∣X−Y∣=∣2.5−3.0∣=0.5. Correct.
(B) EN(Y) > EN(X) since 3.0 > 2.5. Correct.
(C) Higher EN (Y) implies a higher sum of IE + EA (Mulliken scale). Correct.
(D) Polarity of X-Y bond = 0.5. Polarity of Y-E bond = 1.0. A larger EN difference means a
more polar bond. Thus, the Y-E bond is more polar than the X-Y bond.

Final Answer: The correct option is (4).

Specifically, BCl3​ reacts with water to form boric acid (H3​BO3​) and HCl instead of breaking into
free B3+ ions.

The correct reaction for BCl3​ is: BCl3 ​+ 3H2​O → H3​BO3​ + 3HCl
Therefore, Option 1 is incorrect as it shows ionic dissociation.

Solution :
1. Building the chain backward
A sequence of k elements (a1, a2), (a2 a3), ...., (1k, ak-1) is formed by the rules an = a(an+1)+1.
Let's start with the smallest possible second entry ak + 1 = 1, and work up
Pair k : ak = 2(1) + 1 = 3 ⇒ (3, 1)
Pair k – 1 : ak– 1 = 2(3) + 1 = 7 ⇒ (7, 3)
Pair k – 2 : ak– 2 = 2(5) + 1 = 15 ⇒ (15, 7)
Pair k – 3 : ak– 3 = 2(15) + 1 = 31 ⇒ (31, 15)
Pair k – 4 : ak– 4 = 2(31) + 1 = 63 ⇒ (63, 31)
Pair k – 5 : ak – 5 = 2(63) + 1 = 127 ⇒ Out of range (since 127 > 100)
2. Identifying k
Let's list the valid sequence we just built :
1. (63, 31)
2. (31, 15)
3. (15, 7)
4. (7, 3)
5. (3,1)
