Which of the following is not a derivative of carboxylic acids ?

  1. anhydrides

  2. esters

  3. amines

  4. amides


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

C
Rest all are derivatives of carboxylic acids.And directly by the hydrolysis of amines carboxylic acids cannot be formed.

Which of the following cannot be named as a derivative of $CH _{3}COOH$?

  1. $CH _{3}CH _{2}COOH$

  2. $(CH _{3}) _{2}CHCOOH$

  3. $HCOOH$

  4. $(CH _{3}) _{3}CCOOH$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Option A, B and D can be derived from $CH _3 COOH$ while option C, i.e., $HCOOH$ cannot be derived from $CH _3COOH$ as $HCOOH$ has one carbon less than $CH _3COOH$.


Option C is correct.

Which of the following statements is wrong?

  1. For the synthesis of esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols, we can often use a base as a catalyst.

  2. For the synthesis of esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols, we can often use an additional acid as a catalyst.

  3. For the alkaline hydrolysis of carboxylic esters, we need to use an excess of base.

  4. For the hydrolysis of carboxylic esters under acidic conditions, we need only a catalytic amount of an additional acid.


Correct Option: A

With which of the following can ethyl ethanoate not undergo a substitution reaction?

  1. $CH _3CO _2Na$

  2. aqueous $NaOH$

  3. $CH _3OH$, $H^+$

  4. aqueous $NH _3$


Correct Option: A

Amides and acid chlorides are:

  1. organic functional group

  2. functional derivative of carboxylic acid

  3. both $A$ and $B$

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Amides and Acid chlorides are organic Functional group and functional derivative of carboxylic acid. Amide has general formula $\displaystyle  R - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - NH _2  $. Carboxylic acid has general formula $\displaystyle  R - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - OH  $. An example of amide is acetamide $\displaystyle  CH _3 - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - NH _2   $. An example of carboxylic acid is acetic acid $\displaystyle  CH _3 - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - OH  $. Acid chloride has general formula $\displaystyle  R - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - Cl  $.  An example of acid chloride is acetyl chloride $\displaystyle  CH _3 - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - Cl  $. 

As the molecular weight increases the boiling point of carboxylic acid:

  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. remain same

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As the molecular weight increases the boiling point of carboxylic acid increases. Lower aliphatic carboxylic acids (upto 9 C atoms) are liquids, the higher members are wax like solids.

Identify the main functional derivative of carboxylic acid.

  1. Ester

  2. Alkane

  3. Alcohol

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ester is the main functional derivative of carboxylic acid. Ester has general formula $\displaystyle  R - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - OR'  $. Carboxylic acid has general formula $\displaystyle  R - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - OH  $. An example of ester is ethyl acetate $\displaystyle  CH _3 - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - O-CH _2-CH _3  $. An example of carboxylic acid is acetic acid $\displaystyle  CH _3 - \underset {   \underset {\displaystyle O}{||}  }{C} - OH  $

Which of the following is acyl halide?

  1. $R-CO-X$

  2. $R-CO-O-CO-O-R$

  3. $R-COOH$

  4. $R-CO-NH _2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Acyl halide is $R-CO-X$
Hence option A is correct.

Identify the functional derivative of carboxylic acid.
$CH _3-CO-O-CO-CH _3$

  1. Amide

  2. Ester

  3. Acyl halides

  4. Acid anhydride


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An acid hydride is a compound that has two acyl groups $(CH _{3}COO)$ bonded to the same oxygen atom

Acyl halide and acid halide are same groups.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The given statement is True.
Acyl halide and acid halide are same groups. They represent the function group
  $\displaystyle R- \underset {\displaystyle  \underset {\displaystyle \text {O }}{||} }{C}-X$  where X is halogen atom (F, Cl, Br or I). They are derived from carboxylic acids (  $\displaystyle R- \underset {\displaystyle  \underset {\displaystyle \text {O }}{||} }{C}-OH$ ) by replacing a hydroxyl group (-OH) with a halide group.
An example is acetyl chloride  $\displaystyle CH _3- \underset {\displaystyle  \underset {\displaystyle \text {O }}{||} }{C}-Cl$
Another example is benzoyl chloride $\displaystyle Ph- \underset {\displaystyle  \underset {\displaystyle \text {O }}{||} }{C}-Cl$

Which of the following is/are the correct statement(s) about $C _{6}H _{5}COCl$?

  1. The IUPAC name of the compound is benzene carbonyl chloride

  2. The IUPAC name of the compound is benzylchloride

  3. It is an aromatic compound

  4. It is an aliphatic compound


Correct Option: A,C
