Detection of Extra Elements and Functional Groups in Organic CompoundsVedaniti,
Lear UNE Online
Identifying the presence of specific elements and functional groups in organic compounds is
crucial for both analytical and synthetic chemistry. JEE Main students should have a strong
grasp of these detection methods to understand and manipulate organic molecules effectively.
Detection of Extra Elements:
Nitrogen (N): Nitrogen is typically detected through the Dumas method, which involves heating
the organic compound in the presence of copper oxide. The liberated nitrogen forms ammonia
gas, which is then collected and quantified
Sulfur (8): Sulfur can be detected using the Carius method. The organic compound is
combusted with fuming nitric acid, leading to the formation of sulfuric acid. The sulfur content is
determined by precipitating it as barium sulfate
Halogens (F, Cl, Br, I): Halogens are detected using methods like the Lassaigne’s test. The
organic compound is heated with sodium, and the resulting sodium halides are then extracted
with water. The presence of halogens Is confirmed through various chemical tests specific to
each halogen.
Detection of Functional Groups:
Hydroxyl (Alcoholic and Phenolic) Groups:
Alcoholic hydroxyl groups are detected using the Lucas test. Alcohols react with Lucas reagent
(concentrated HCI and ZnCl2) to form alkyl chlorides.
Phenolic hydroxyl groups are identified through tests like the ferric chloride test, which results in
a colored complex with phenols
Carbonyl (Aldehyde and Ketone) Groups:
Tollens' test is employed to detect aldehyde groups. Aldehydes reduce Tollens' reagent
(Ag(N-H3)°*) to forma silver mirror on the reaction vesse''s walls.Vedaniti,
Lear UNE Online
Ketone groups can be identified using the iodoform test, which results in the formation of yellow
iodoform precipitate
Carboxy! Group:
The sodium bicarbonate test is used to detect carboxyl groups. Carboxylic acids react with
sodium bicarbonate to produce effervescence (Cy gas is released).
Amino Groups:
Amino groups can be detected through the Hinsberg test, which involves reacting the amine
with benzenesulfonyl chloride (Hinsberg's reagent). Primary amines yield insoluble precipitates
secondary amines yield soluble compounds, and tertiary amines do not react

Chemistry Involved in Titrimetric Exercises: Acids, Bases, and the Use of
Indicators
Titration, a fundamental technique in analytical chemistry, plays a significant role in the
determination of various chemical concentrations. For JEE Main students, understanding the
chemistry behind titrimetric exercises, particularly in the context of acids, bases, and the use of
indicators, is crucial. This knowledge equips them with practical skills and theoretical
foundations to perform accurate and precise chemical analyses.
1. Acids and Bases Titration:
a. Use of Indicators:
In acid-base titrations, indicators are essential. Indicators are substances that undergo a color
change at or near the equivalence point of the titration. Common indicators include
phenolphthalein (pink to coloriess in the transition from basic to acidic), methyl orange (red to
yellow in the transition from acidic to basic), and bromothymol blue (yellow to blue in the
transition from acidic to basic). The choice of indicator depends on the type of titration and the
expected pH at the endpoint.
b. Oxalic Acid vs. KMnO4:
Oxalic acid (H2C20x) is often used as a reducing agent in titrations. When oxalic acid reacts
with potassium permanganate (KMnOs) in an acidic medium, it undergoes oxidation. The
balanced chemical equation for the reaction is’
5HyC204 + 2K MnOq + 3H2SO4 — 10CO2 + 2MnSO, + 8H2,O + K2SO4Vedaniti,
Lear UNE Online
The oxidation state of carbon in oxalic acid changes from +3 to +4, resulting in the production
of carbon dioxide and the reduction of manganese in permanganate from +7 to +2.
2. Mohr's Salt vs. KMnO4:
Mohr's salt, also known as ferrous ammonium sulfate ((NH1)2Fe(SO.)o - 6H2O), is
employed in redox titrations. In the presence of potassium permanganate (K MnQ,) and
sulfuric acid (H2SOx), Mohr's salt undergoes oxidation. The balanced chemical equation for
this reaction is:
5(N Ha)2Fe(SO4)o - 6HyO + 2K MnOy + 8H>SO, > 10FeSO, + 2MnSO4 + Ky
+ 5(NH4)9504 + 8120
In this reaction, iron in Mohr's salt is oxidized from +2 to +3, while manganese in KMnO4 is
reduced from +7 to +2. The equivalence point is reached when all the iron ions are oxidized,
and the purple color of KMnO4 disappears
Chemical Principles in Qualitative Salt Analysis for JEE Main Students
Qualitative salt analysis is a crucial aspect of analytical chemistry, enabling the identification of
various cations and anions in a given salt mixture. This knowledge is invaluable for JEE Main

Chemical Principles Involved in Selected Experiments for JEE Main Students
Understanding the chemical principles behind experiments is vital for JEE Main students. It not
only enhances their grasp of fundamental chemistry but lso equips them with the knowledge
to excel in various scientific endeavors. Let's explore the chemical principles behind four
essential experiments.
1. Enthalpy of Solution of CuSO4: O4
(ud \Vedaniti,
Lear UNE Online
weer oy
This experiment involves dissolving copper sulfate in water, and its chemical
principles can be explained as follows:
Enthalpy Change: The enthalpy change, often referred to as heat of solution (AHsolution),
measures the heat absorbed or released when a solute (CuSO4) dissolves in a solvent
(water). It is a thermodynamic parameter that quantifies the energy transfer during dissolution
Lattice Energy: The lattice energy of the ionic compound CuSO, plays a crucial role in this
oxporimont. When CuSO, dissolves, the ionic bonds between coppor ions (Cu?+) and
sulfate ions (SO}-) are broken, and water molecules surround and solvate these ions. This
process releases energy, leading to a temperature rise in the solution
Hydration: CuSO4 dissolves in water through the process of hydration. Water molecules
surround and stabilize the ions, and this interaction is exothermic, contributing to the overall
enthalpy change
2. Enthalpy of Neutralization of Strong Acid and Strong Base:
This experiment involves the reaction between a strong acid (e.g., HCl) and a strong base (e.9.,
NaOH) to form water and a salt (e.g., NaCl). The chemical principles include:
Neutralization Reaction: The reaction between HCI and NaOH is a classic example of a
neutralization reaction. It is an exothermic process in which hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid
combine with hydroxide ions (OH-) from the base to form water.
Heat of Reaction: The enthalpy change (AH) in this experiment represents the heat evolved
during the neutralization reaction. This exothermic process results in a temperature increase in
the reaction mixture.
Hess's Law: The enthalpy change in this reaction is consistent with Hess's Law, which states
that the enthalpy change of a reaction depends only on the initial and final states and is
independent of the reaction pathway
3. Preparation of Lyophilic and Lyophobic Sols:Vedaniti,
Lear UNE Online
Preparation of colloidal solutions involves principles related to colloids:
Lyophilic Sols: These are colloidal solutions where the dispersed phase (colloid) has a strong
affinity for the dispersion medium (solvent). The preparation of lyophilic sols typically involves
solvating the colloid with the solvent, leading to stable colloidal solutions
Lyophobie Sols: In contrast, lyophobic sols are colloidal solutions where the dispersed phase
has little affinity for the dispersion medium. Preparing lyophobic sols often involves vigorous
dispersion methods, such as mechanical agitation or chemical treatments, to disperse the
colloidal particles evenly in the medium.
4. Kinetic Study of the Reaction of lodide lon with Hydrogen Peroxide:
This experiment explores the reaction kinetics of iodide ions (I-) with hydrogen peroxide
(202). The chemical principles include:
Rate of Reaction: The rate of this reaction is determined by the rate of collision between iodide
ions and hydrogen peroxide molecules. This collision leads to the formation of iodine (Jz) and
water (HO), and the reaction rate is governed by the concentration of reactants and the
activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
Reaction Mechanism: Understanding the reaction mechanism, including any intermediate
steps, is crucial. The kinetic study helps identify reaction orders and rate-determining steps
Catalysis: In some cases, a catalyst (¢.g., iodide ion in this reaction) may be involved. The role
of the catalyst in lowering the activation energy and increasing the reaction rate can be
explored

Example 2: Liquid nitrogen, with a boiling point of -195.79°C, is utilised as a coolant and
a biological tissue preservation. Is nitrogen’s entropy higher or lower at -200°C than itis
at -190°C? Give an explanation for your response. At -210.00°C, liquid nitrogen freezes to
a white solid with a fusion enthalpy of 0.71 kJ/mol. What is fusion entropy? Is it possible
to freeze living tissue in liquid nitrogen in a reversible or irreversible manner?
Solution: As the temperature decreases, the entropy increases, as they are in inverse
correlation to each other. Hence, when the temperature of liquid nitrogen decreases to -200°C,
its entropy is higher than at -190°C.
Key point to remember: Relation between entropy and temperature: AS=AHIT.

(3) + 1086 kJ mol
(4) - 1102 kJ mor
Solution:
* The equation of formation of ammonia using nitrogen and hydrogen is given below:
YN, + 4H, > NH,
+The standard enthalpy of formation of ammonia, given by AH, of NH., can thus be
determined as follows:
AH, of NH, = ((1/2)B.E of N, + (3/2) B.E of H, ~ (3) B.E of N-H)
+ Here, B.E stands for Bond energy and AH, stands for standard enthalpy of formation
+In the above equation, the enthalpy of the formation of ammonia is obtained as a
summation of the bond energies of the constituent elements and the subtraction of the
bond energies of nitragen and hydrogen bonds
~ 46 = ((1/2)(712) + (3/2) 436 — (3) B.E of N-H)Vedaniti,

3 B.E of N-H = 1056
» B.E of N-H = 1056/3 = 352 kJ mol
Henee, option (2) is the answer.
Trick: Enthalpy of formation can be calculated by subtracting the sum of bond energies of the
bonds that are formed in the chemical reaction from the sum of bond energies of the bonds that
are broken in the chemical reaction

the surroundings as heat. The change in internal energy AU (in kJ) is
(a)-8
(b) 12
(c)8
(d) - 12
Solution: The work done is given by, w = 10 kJ
The heat that escapes into the surrounding is expressed as q = - 2 kJ
The first law of thermodynamics states that AU = q + w
=-2+10=8kJ
As a result, option (c) is the correct answer.
Trick: Work done on the system has a positive magnitude and work done by the system has a
negative magnitude. Similarly, the heat released by the system has a negative magnitude and
heat supplied by the surroundings to the system has a positive magnitude.
