JEE Chemistry Solved Question Paper 2014

Multiple Choice Questions

1.
The correct increasing order of the acid strength of benzoic acid (I), 4-nitrobenzoic acid (II), 3,4-dinitrobenzoic acid (III) and 4-methoxybenzoic acid (IV) is

I < II < III < IV

II < I < IV < III

IV < I < II < III

IV < II < I < III

IV < I < II < III

Acidity of carboxylic acid (or benzoic acid) depends upon the stability of benzoate ion formed.

More the number of electron withdrawing groups attached to benzene nucleus, more is the dispersal of negative charge and hence, more is stability of carboxylate ion which in turn increases the acidity of the respective carboxylic (or benzoic) acid.

Therefore, the correct increasing order of acidity of the given compounds is IV < I < II < III.

Choose the correct order of decreasing basic strength of the following compounds in aqueous solution

(i) C₆H₅NH₂

(ii) C₂H₅NH₂

(iii) NH₃

(iv) (CH₃)₂NH

(i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)
(iv) > (ii) > (iii) > (i)
(ii) > (i) > (iii) > (iv)
(iv) > (iii) > (ii) > (i)
