MCQS of Inorganic BS6TH

1: Which of the following does not affect the reaction rate?


a) Solubility
b) Agitation
c) Nitro group
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: d
Explanation: A number of factors accelerate or retard the replacement of atoms or radicals by the
amino group. These will be discussed in the following order: (1) solubility, (2) agitation, (3) halogen
derivative treated, (4) presence of nitro groups, and (5) temperature of amination and NH3
concentration.

2:  Which factor increases the partial pressure in a reaction?


a) NH3 concentration
b) Heat
c) Agitation
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: a
Explanation: Reaction can be facilitated by increasing either the NH 3 concentration or the
temperature, as both the factors incidentally increase the partial pressure or activity of the dissolved
ammonia.

3:When we dilute NH3 solution, does the reaction suffer?


a) Yes
b) No

Answer: a
Explanation: When more dilute NH3 solutions are employed, the results obviously suffer from the
increased activity of the solvent-water.

4: Homogeneity of reaction is highly important in which phase?


a) Vapour
b) Liquid
c) Solid
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: b
Explanation: In liquid-phase ammonolysis, the rate of amination depends upon the homogeneity of
the reaction mass.

5: Liquid phase reaction are possible without agitation.


a) True
b) False

Answer: b
Explanation: Without agitation, some insoluble compounds would, on account of their greater
density, settle to the bottom of the autoclave while the ammonia liquor remained as a distinct layer
above it. Reaction would then take place only at the interface, and a complete conversion of the
compound to the amino derivative would not be feasible.
6:  The replacement of Br atom is easier than Cl atom.
a) True
b) False

Answer: a
Explanation: From the known activity of the halogens and the heats of formation of the halides, it
would be expected that replacement of bromine atoms could be accomplished more readily than that
of chlorine atoms.

7: The conversion of chlorobenzene to aniline requires what temperature?


a) Below 50°C
b) 100°C
c) 150°C
d) Above 200°C

Answer: d

200°C or above-and the presence of a catalyst.

8: By the introduction of which group makes the replacement of halogen atom faster?
a) Positive group
b) Negative group
c) Both of the mentioned
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: b
Explanation: By the introduction negative groups such as the -NO 2 or -COOH in the ortho or para
position of the phenyl nucleus, the replacement of the halogen atom takes place more readily

9:  What is meant by Ammonia factor?


a) Ammonia concentration
b) Intensity factor
c) Capacity factor
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: c
Explanation: Ammonia ratio means Capacity factor, whereas Ammonia concentration means
intensity factor.

10: Which of the following is/are the advantage for using excess NH3?
a) Rapid amination
b) Complete reaction
c) Large quantity
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: d
Explanation: by utilizing a more concentrated NH3 solution for non-catalytic aminations may be
summed up as follows: (1) amination is more rapid, (2) conversion of reacting compound to primary
amine is more complete, (3) formation of secondary and tertiary amines and hydroxy compounds is
inhibited, (4) lower reaction temperatures can be used, and (5) since larger batches can be treated.

11: The reaction-rate with aryl chlorides depends on what?


a) Ammonia ratio
b) Reaction temperature
c) Halogen compound
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: d
Explanation: Reaction-rate studies with aryl chlorides showed that the effect of NH3 concentration
on the rate of conversion in catalytic ammonolysis depends upon (1) the ammonia ratio, (2) the
reaction temperature, and (3) the halogen compound.
