Question Explanation:

Determine which chemical form of nitrogen in an organic compound is accurately quantifiable


using Kjeldahl's method.

Concept:

This question is based on Kjeldahl's Method.

Solution:
Kjeldahl's method estimates nitrogen by digesting the organic compound with concentrated H2SO4 to
convert nitrogen into ammonium sulfate.

This method is valid for amines like aniline but is not applicable to compounds containing nitrogen in
nitro (-NO2) or diazo (-N=N-) groups, or nitrogen present in a ring (like pyridine), as they do not
yield ammonium sulfate quantitatively.

Final Answer: Option (4)

Numbering will start from Cl and then clockwise it will reach to Br at position 5.

48) Question Explanation:


Identify the sum of carbon atoms in the principal carbon chain for two different unsaturated
hydrocarbons.

Concept:

This is based on IUPAC nomenclature of hydrocarbons and principal carbon chain selection.

Solution:
Compound (a): The principal chain must include the double bond (C=C). Starting numbering from
the double bond end to the longest continuous path yields a chain of 8 carbons.

Compound (b): The principal chain must include the maximum number of double bonds. The longest
chain containing both double bonds consists of 9 carbons.
Total carbons = 8 (from a) + 9 (from b) = 17.

= π × 2 × 3 – (Area of quadrilateral)

=
= 6π – 12
= 6(π – 2)

59)

Required area = Area of trepezium ABCD – Area of parabola between x = &

A= –

60) The area bounded by the curve ,

coordinates axes and x = is

We have
Required Area is given by
1 unit, Hence result

61) x2 + y2 = 4 {in the first quadrant}

y2 + 3y2 = 4
4y2 = 4
y2 = 1
y=±1

62) In first quadrant tan x and cot x meet at x = . Also as shown in the diagram, desired area

is bisected at x = . So

reqd. area =

63)

Solving the equation of the given curves for x, we get

x2 = x + 2
⇒ (x – 2) (x +1) = 0
⇒ x = –1, 2
So reqd. area =

64) {(x, y) : y2 ≤ 4x, x + y ≤ 1, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0}

a= ,b=
a–b=6

65)

Required Area
66)

∵ R1 – R2 =

⇒ (1 – b)3 =

⇒1–b=

67) and
Bounded Region

dx

= dx

dx = dx

Put ;
68) Curves y = log x .....(1)
2
and y = (log x) .....(2)
by (1) and (2) (log x)2 = log x ⇒ logx [logx–1]=0
⇒ logx = 0, log x = 1 ⇒ x = 1, x = e

Req. Area =

= –

= 1 – e + 2 [x log x – x]1e = 1 – e + 2(1)


=3–e

69) Question Explanation:


Finding the area enclosed by two trigonometric curves over an interval.

Concept:
This question is based on area between two curves.

Solution:

Final Answer:
The correct option is (2)

70)

and x-axis

Area of ABC

Area of CDE

Total area

71)
Put x – 1 = x
y–1=y
|x| + |y| = 1

=2

72)

From

Area

Area = 8.
73)

∴ m + n = 119

74)

Area = 4-
= 6 - 4 n2
a = 6, b = 4

75)

⇒ x2 – 16x – 80 = 0
⇒ x = –4 & x = 20.
