17) Question Explanation:

A magnet is dropped with its North pole facing down towards a stationary short-circuited coil.
Determine the direction and magnitude trend of the induced current as seen from the top.

Concept Lenz's Law: Induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux. Faraday's Law:

Solution:

1. Direction: The North pole falls towards the coil. Downward magnetic flux through the coil
increases. According to Lenz's law, the coil must repel the approaching magnet. The upper
face of the coil must become a North pole to repel the falling North pole. Using the Right Hand
Grip Rule, a North polarity corresponds to anticlockwise current.

2. Magnitude: As the magnet falls, it accelerates due to gravity (v increases). As it gets closer

to the coil, the magnetic field strength increases. The rate of change of magnetic flux
increases due to both higher velocity and stronger field gradient. Since Induced Current

, the magnitude of the current increases.

31) Question Explanation

You are given three liquid solutions and asked to determine the truth of three statements
related to volume change, entropy of mixing, and enthalpy of mixing when equal volumes of
components are mixed.

Concept
Ideal mixtures have no volume or enthalpy change; non-ideal ones show deviations.
Solution
(a) Final volume order VI = VII < VIII - False
Ethyl ether-acetone (I) and chloroform-acetone (II) both form strong interactions ( H -bonding
or dipoledipole), causing volume contraction. n-Hexane and n-heptane (III) are nearly ideal, so
no volume change. Hence, VI = VII < VIII is true ⇒ but it contradicts the F in selected answer -
correct is T , not F .
(b) ΔSmix positive for 1 and II but zero for III-False
All mixing processes, even ideal ones like III, involve randomness increase ΔSmb is always
positive unless there's no mixing, which is not the case here, So this statement is false.
(c) ΔHmin, negative for II and III, positive for I - False

A. I (ethyl ether + acetone): Weak interaction - positive ΔHmix

B. II (chloroform + acetone): Strong H-bonding - negative
C. III ( n-hexane +n-heptane): Ideal solution → ΔHmix = 0, not negative So, this statement is also
false.

Explanation: Identify the reaction that yields a 2∘ alcohol as the major product from the given
alkene

Concept: This question is based on hydration of alkene and regioselectivity of hydration.

(2) (Markovnikov product)

(3) (Anti-Markovnikov product)
Final Answer : Hence, option (3) is correct.

33) Question Explanation: Hofmann Elimination on a secondary amine.

Concept: Exhaustive Methylation and Hofmann Elimination
Solution: The reaction sequence involves two main steps:
Exhaustive Methylation (Formation of 'A'): The starting secondary amine, N -
methylethan-1-amine (or N-methylpropan-2-amine, based on the structure drawn) reacts with
excess methyl iodide (Me-I) to form a quaternary ammonium iodide salt (A).

The starting material is 2-aminobutane.

Hofmann Elimination: The quaternary ammonium iodide salt (A) is treated with moist silver
oxide (AgOH), which converts the iodide to the strong base, quaternary ammonium
hydroxide (R—N+(Me)3OH-) Upon heating (Δ), a β-elimination reaction occurs. This is the
Hofmann elimination, which favors the least substituted (anti-Zaitsev) alkene as the major
product.
The leaving group, N(Me)3, is a very poor nucleophile and an excellent leaving group, forcing
the E2 mechanism.

But-1-ene (Product 1) is the major (Hofmann) product.

Final Answer: (Option 1)

34) Question Explanation:

Identify the incorrect statement among the given orders related to reaction rates, stability,
and nucleophilicity.

Concept: This question is based on

A. Rate of electrophilic addition,

B. Rate of SN1 reaction,

C. Heat of hydrogenation,

D. Nucleophilicity in polar protic solvents.

Solution:

A. In electrophilic addition, alkenes react faster than alkynes; hence CH2=CH2 > CH≡CH is
 correct.
B. SN1 reaction rate increases with carbocation stability; therefore benzyl < diphenylmethyl <
triphenylmethyl bromide is correct.
C. Heat of hydrogenation is higher for alkynes (more number of pi bonds) than alkenes, so
HC≡CH > CH2=CH2 is correct.
D. In polar protic solvents, nucleophilicity increases down the group due to solvation effects; thus
SH– > OH–. Hence the given order SH– < OH– is incorrect.

Question Explanation:
The question asks which compound prefers the E1cB elimination mechanism when treated
with sodium ethoxide in ethanol.

Concept: E1cB Mechanism, Carbanion Stability, Acidity of α-Hydrogen, Carbonyl Activation.

Solution:

A. E1cB mechanism is favored when:

A. The β-hydrogen is acidic, and

B. The resulting carbanion is stabilized, usually by an electron-withdrawing group

like C=O.

B. In Option 3, the β-hydrogen is α to a carbonyl group, making it acidic.

C. Removal of this hydrogen forms a resonance-stabilized enolate (carbanion).

D. Loss of Br– then occurs, completing E1cB elimination.

E. Other options lack a stabilizing group for the carbanion and prefer E2 instead.

Explanation Question:
Question is asking to select better pair of reactants to prepare Ph–O–Et.

Concept:
This question is based on williamson's ether synthesis.

Solution:
Williamson's ether synthesis follows SN2 reaction and for SN2 reaction substrate should not be
arylic or vinylic halide.
To prepare Ph–O–Et. there are two possibilities of reactions.

Williamson's synthesis
I. + Et – Cl →

II. + Ph – Cl
(Aryl halide)

Ph – Cl does not give SN2 So II is not good better pair of reactant is I.

The correct option is (2)

Question Explanation:
The question asks for the major product formed when a vicinal diol undergoes reaction with
concentrated H2SO4, which typically causes dehydration followed by rearrangement.

Concept:
This question is based on Pinacol–Pinacolone Rearrangement, Carbocation Rearrangement,
Ring Expansion.

Solution:
The given compound is a vicinal diol. In the presence of concentrated H2SO4, it undergoes
Pinacol–Pinacolone rearrangement.

Steps involved:

A. Protonation of one –OH group which is outside the ring followed by loss of H2O forms a
more stable carbocation.

B. To stabilize the carbocation, a 1,2-alkyl shift occurs.

C. Since a cyclobutane ring is present, ring expansion (cyclobutane → cyclopentane) occurs

because it reduces ring strain.
 D. Simultaneously, the remaining –OH group gets converted into a C=O (ketone) group.

Thus, the final product is a cyclopentanone derivative formed by ring expansion and
rearrangement.

Question Explanation: Identify product P formed via Gabriel phthalimide synthesis when
phthalic acid is sequentially treated with dehydration, amination, base, and an alkyl halide.
Concept: Nucleophilic substitution in Gabriel synthesis.
Solution:

• Step 1 & 2 (Formation of Phthalimide): Heating phthalic acid with P2O5 dehydrates it to
phthalic anhydride, which then reacts with NH3 under heat to form phthalimide.
• Step 3 (Formation of Potassium Phthalimide): Phthalimide reacts with aqueous KOH to
remove the acidic N-H proton, producing a strong nucleophile (potassium phthalimide).
• Step 4 (SN2 Substitution): The phthalimide anion attacks the benzylic carbon of
4bromobenzyl chloride . Because aryl halides do not undergo
SN2 reactions due to resonance, the chlorine at the aliphatic benzylic position is selectively
displaced while the aryl bromide remains intact, yielding N-(4bromobenzyl)phthalimide.

anhydrides

49) Question Explanation: Heating of mixture of aldehyde & ketone in dil. NaOH to give
products mixture (excluding Stereoisomers).
Concept:
This question is based on cross aldol condensation.

Solution: In aldol condensation one carbonyl acts as a nucleophile (by forming an enolate ion)
and the other act as a electrophilic. After the aldol addition product is formed, it undergoes
elimination of water to form an α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound.
Two self aldol condensation

The cross aldol condensation

Total four aldol condensation products are formed in above reaction.

Final Answer: (4)

50)
Do not contain any α-hydrogen but still fails to undergo cannizaro reaction in case of

the corresponding hydroxide is strongly stabilized by – R effect of –CHO. Consequently, the

electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon is reduced and the OH– does not attack the carbonyl
group.
 The intermediate formed due to attack of OH— cleaves to give a stable anion.

59) Let a polynomial f(x) of degree four is

f(x) = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e
∴ f'(x) = 4ax3 + 3bx2 + 2cx + d = 0
