Concept: Enthalpy of Reaction (ΔH).

Solution: Enthalpy of reaction is a state function that depends on the temperature, pressure,

depression will have the maximum freezing point.

Solutions, Colligative Properties, Depression In Freezing Point, Van't Hoff Factor

Solution:

For comparison (same solvent), compare . Smaller im gives smaller and hence higher
freezing point.
Compute i for each:

NaCl: strong electrolyte,
AlCl3 : strong electrolyte,
Now compare im:
1. 0.1 M urea:
2.
3. :
4. 0.15 M glucose:
Smallest im is for 0.1 M urea, so it has the smallest and hence maximum freezing point.

Final Answer: Option(1)

22) Explain the question : Order electrolytes by boiling point.

Concept : This question is based on elevation in boiling point & van't hof factor.
Solution : The elevation in boiling point (ΔTb) is a colligative property directly proportional to
the van't hoff factor (i) and molality (m) via the formula ΔTb = i ⋅ Kb ⋅ m. Since molality is
constant (0.1 m) for all solutions, the boiling point increases with an increasing value of i. For
the given electrolytes. Na2SO4 is a strong electrolyte dissociating into three ions (i – 3); NaCl is
a strong electrolytes dissociating into two iond (i – 2); HCOOH and CH3COOH are weak
electrolytes, so their i values are between 1 and 2. Since formic acid (HCOOH) is a stronger
acid than acetic acid (CH3COOH), it dissociates more, giving is a slightly higher i value.
Therefore, the order of increasing i values, and thus increasing boiling points is CH3COOH <
HCOOH < NaCl < Na2SO4.

Question Explanation:
The question asks which given chloro-substituted compounds undergoes dehydrohalogenation
most easily.

Concept Used:
Dehydrohalogenation, Alkene Stability and Conjugation.

Solution:
Dehydrohalogenation is favored when elimination leads to a more stable conjugated system.
In compound (I), removal of HCl directly forms a fully conjugated benzene ring, which is highly
stable due to aromaticity.
In (II) elimination does not directly give an aromatic system, so dehydrohalogenation is less
favorable.
In (III) elimination does not occur because of vinyl halide.
 Final Answer: Option (1)

25)

Question Explanation:
The question asks to identify the correctly matched major products formed in different
elimination reactions.

A. Bulky bases (t-BuO– / Me3COK) favor the Hofmann product (least substituted
alkene).

B. Smaller or less hindered bases (EtO–, MeO–) favor the Saytzeff product (more
substituted alkene).

Solution:

A. (A) Should give the more substituted Saytzeff product, but the shown product does not
match → Incorrect.
B. (B) Use of t-BuO–/Δ (bulky base, E2) favors the Hofmann product; the product shown is
Hofmann → Correct.

Question Explanation: The question asks to identify which of the given compounds can
undergo an E1 (unimolecular elimination) reaction.
Concept: This question is based on the E1 reaction mechanism and carbocation stability.
Solution:
An E1 reaction proceeds in two steps, with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as
the rate-determining step. Therefore, the feasibility of an E1 reaction primarily depends on the
stability of the carbocation formed after the leaving group departs.
Options (A, B & C) form a resonance-stabilized carbocation.
Option (D) forms a tertiary (3°) carbocation, which is stabilized by hyperconjugation and
the inductive effect.
Since resonance-stabilized carbocations and tertiary carbocations are highly stable, all
the given substrates readily undergo the E1 reaction.
Final Answer: (ABCD)

Solution:
IVT State: If f(x) is continuous on [a, b], then for every value k between f(a) and f(b), there
exists at least one c∈(a, b) such that f(c) = k.
Analysis of Options:

[Link] (1):
This is the Arithmetic Mean, which always lies between and f(b). By IVT, such a c always
exists. (Correct)
2. Option (2):
This is the Geometric Mean (given f(a),f(b) > 0), which always lies between f(a) and f(b). By
IVT, such a c always exists. (Correct)

3. Option (3):
This is a weighted average (internal division point) between and . It always lies in the
interval. By IVT, such a c always exists.
(Correct)

4. Option (4):
This represents an external division point. It does not necessarily lie between and .

Counter-example: Let f(a) = 1 and f(b) = 4. Then .

Since -0.5 is not between 1 and 4, IVT does not guarantee that exists in (a, b).

40) Explain Question: Analyze the continuity of a piecewise function involving logarithmic,
trigonometric, greatest integer, and fractional part functions at x = 0.
Concept: Limits (LHL and RHL), Continuity, Greatest Integer Function [x], and Fractional
Part Function {x}.
Solution:
LHL:
The function for is:
f(x) = (sin⁡x) [sin⁡x]2 log(1 + sin⁡x)⁡2
As x → 0–,sin⁡ x is a small negative value (e.g., –0.001 ).
The greatest integer function [sin ⁡x] for values between –1 and 0 is always –1 .
Therefore, [sin⁡ x]2 = (–1)2 = 1.

Using the base-change formula for the logarithm: .

The limit becomes:

Using the standard limit , we can rewrite this as:

RHL:
• As x → 0+, tan ⁡x → 0+.
• For small positive values, the fractional part {tan⁡ x} = tan⁡ x.
• Let . As x → 0+, u → 0+.
• Substituting u:tan2⁡x = u4 and .
The limit becomes:

RHL =
Applying L'Hôpital's Rule or observing the dominant terms as u → 0 :
Numerator: ln (1+ u4 + ......+ 2u) ≈ ln (1 + 2u) ≈ 2u .
Denominator: tan ⁡u ≈ u.
RHL = 2
Since the LHL ≠ RHL, the limit l does not exist. This type of discontinuity is known as
a jump discontinuity or an irremovable discontinuity.

–1 ≤ f(|x|) ≤ 1
⇒ |1 – |x|| ≤ 1
⇒ –1 ≤ 1 – |x| ≤ 1
⇒ –2 ≤ – |x| ≤ 0
⇒ 2 ≥ |x| ≥ 0
∴ x ∈ [–2, 2]
Then, sin–1(f(|x|)), for x ∈ [–2, 2] is not differentiable at x = {0, 1, –1}.
Hence, (C) is the correct answer.
