Unit Processes MCQ’s – Physical and Chemical Properties
1 - Question
Which of the following does not affect the reaction rate?
a) Solubility
b) Agitation
c) Nitro group
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
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 - Question
Anthraquinonesulfonic acids are more readily converted to amines than the insoluble halogen compounds.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The soluble anthraquinonesulfonic acids are more readily converted to amines than the insoluble halogen compounds.
3 - Question
Which factor increases the partial pressure in a reaction?
a) NH3 concentration
b) Heat
c) Agitation
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Reaction can be facilitated by increasing either the NH3 concentration or the temperature, as both the factors incidentally increase the partial pressure or activity of the dissolved ammonia.
4 - Question
When we dilute NH3 solution, does the reaction suffer?
a) Yes
b) No
View Answer
Explanation: When more dilute NH3 solutions are employed, the results obviously suffer from the increased activity of the solvent-water.
5 - Question
Homogeneity of reaction is highly important in which phase?
a) Vapour
b) Liquid
c) Solid
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: In liquid-phase ammonolysis, the rate of amination depends upon the homogeneity of the reaction mass.
6 - Question
Liquid phase reaction are possible without agitation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
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.
7 - Question
Are emulsifying and wetting agents important amination process?
a) Yes
b) No
View Answer
Explanation: The efficacy of emulsifying and wetting agents are important in the amination process. Such agents appear to have important potential utility in the ammonolysis of aryl halides.
8 - Question
The replacement of Br atom is easier than Cl atom.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
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.
9 - Question
The conversion of chlorobenzene to aniline requires what temperature?
a) Below 50°C
b) 100°C
c) 150°C
d) Above 200°C
View Answer
Explanation: The conversion of chlorobenzene to aniline requires a comparatively high temperature-200°C or above-and the presence of a catalyst.
10 - Question
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
View Answer
Explanation: By the introduction negative groups such as the -NO2 or -COOH in the ortho or para position of the phenyl nucleus, the replacement of the halogen atom takes place more readily.
11 - Question
The introduction of more than one nitro group greatly decreases the activity of the halogen atom.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The introduction of more than one nitro group greatly increases the activity of the halogen atom.
12 - Question
What is meant by Ammonia factor?
a) Ammonia concentration
b) Intensity factor
c) Capacity factor
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Ammonia ratio means Capacity factor, whereas Ammonia concentration means intensity factor.
13 - Question
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
View Answer
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.
14 - Question
The reaction-rate with aryl chlorides depends on what?
a) Ammonia ratio
b) Reaction temperature
c) Halogen compound
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
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.
