XII* (CBSE) – CHEMISTRY – ASSIGNMENT – 1 (Answer Key)

HALOALKANES & HALOARENES
Choose the correct answer :
1. 2) 3-bromo-1-chloro cyclohex-1-ene

Solution :
Cl
1
In the trans form the dipole moments cancels
2
out. So net dipole moment is zero
3 6. 1) R
Br
Solution :
3-bromo-1-chloro cyclohex-1-ene
2. 2) sec-butyl bromide
Solution :
Br
|*
CH 3 − CH − CH 2 − CH 3
R – form
Sec-butyl bromide has one chiral carbon,
7. 1) A-iv, B-ii, C-i, D-iii
hence it is optically active
Solution :
3. 3) CH3 – F < CH3 – Cl < CH3 – Br < CH3 – I
(dipole moment) i) Boiling point α Molecular weight
Solution : 1
ii) Boiling point α
No.of branches
The correct dipole moment order of methyl
halides is Correct boiling point order is
CH3 – Cl > CH3 – F > CH3 –B r > CH3 – I
> > Br > CH3 – Br
4. 4) 1, 5-dibromo-3, 4-diethyl hexane
Solution : (104oC) (92oC) (73.3oC) (38.4oC)
8. 1) Both (A) and (R) are true and the (R) is a
correct explanation of the (A)
Solution :
In vinyl halide C – X bond is formed by sp2-p
overlap. Due to lone pair and π-bond
conjugation C – X bond has partial double
bond nature. Hence it is shorter than C – X
1, 5-dibromo-3, 4-diethyl hexane
bond in alkyl halides.
5. 3) sp3 – p sp2 – p
CH3 – CH2 – X CH2 = CH – X

Solution :

IV) CH 3 − C − CH 2 − Cl
| Alkyl halides are more reactive than vinyl and
CH 3 aryl halides towards nucleophilic substitution
Neopentyl chloride (1o) reactions
Br 15. 2) 1 : 1
Solution :
10. 3) 3C2H5OH + PCl3 → 3C2H5Cl + H3PO3
1 mol
Solution : C2H5OH + PCl5 → C2H5Cl + POCl3 + HCl
1 mol
COOH

Markovnikov’s rule 16. 2)

11. 3) The addition of HCl to vinyl chloride gives Cl

ethylidene chloride Solution :
Solution :
CH2 = CHCl + HCl → CH3 – CHCl2
Vinyl chloride Ethylidene chloride
12. 2) CH3 – CH2 – OH + SOCl2 →
Solution :
CH3 – CH2 – OH + SOCl2 → CH3 – CH2 –
Cl(l) + SO2(g) + HCl(g)
This is the best method to prepare alkyl
halides, because, the biproducts are gases

17. 1) Finkelstein reaction
Solution :
Alkyl chlorides / bromides react with NaI in
dry acetone to form alkyl iodides. This
reaction is known as Finkelstein reaction
18. 2) Its boiling point is more than tert-butyl
fluoride
Solution :

‘B’ is n-butyl fluoride its boiling point is more

than tert-butyl fluoride, NaI cannot displace
the fluoride.
19. 4) 1-bromo-1-phenyl ethane
Solution :

20. 2) A > C > B

Solution :
