14 Mar 2026
In the following reaction
The $\%$ yield for reaction I is $60 \%$ and that of reaction II is $50 \%$. The overall yield of the complete reaction is __________ $\%$. [nearest integer]
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Let initial moles of reactant taken = n
Total moles obtained for benzene sulphonic acid (with % yield = 60%) = 0.6n
Moles of benzene sulphonic acid before reaction II = 0.6n
Moles obtained for phenol (with % yield = 50%) = 0.6 × 0.5n = 0.3n
So over all % yield of complete reaction $=\frac{0.3 \mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{n}} \times 100=30$

A solution of phenol in chloroform when treated
with aqueous NaOH gives compound P as a
major product. The mass percentage of carbon
in P is ______. (to the nearest integer)
(Atomic mass : C = 12; H = 1; O = 16)
(Atomic mass : C = 12; H = 1; O = 16)
Correct Answer: 69
Explanation:
mass of Salicylaldehyde = 12 × 7 + 6 × 1 + 16 × 2 = 122
mass of carbon = 12 × 7 = 84
$ \therefore $ mass % of C in P = ${{84} \over {122}}$ $ \times $ 100
= 68.85 % $ \simeq $ 69 %

An organic compound (C8H10O2) rotates plane-porarised light. It produces pink color with neutral FeCl3 solution. What is the total number of all the possible isomers for this compound?
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Phenolic ($-$OH) group gives positive test with neutral FeCl3 solution, means organic compound (C8H10O2) also rotate plane porarised light means compound is an optically active and chiral carbon atom is present.
So, the possible structures which are optically active and have phenolic group are as followed :
Therefore, total optically active isomers will be 6.
So, the possible structures which are optically active and have phenolic group are as followed :
