23. Three students, Manish, Ramesh and Rajni were determining the extra elements present in an organic compound given by their teacher. They prepared the Lassaigne’s extract (L.E.) independently by the fusion of the compound with sodium metal. Then they added solid FeSO4and dilute Sulphur acid to a part of Lassaigne’s extract. Manish and Rajni obtained Prussian blue colour, but Ramesh got red colour. Ramesh repeated the test with the same Lassaigne’s extract, but again got red colour only. They were surprised and went to their teacher and told him about their observation. Teacher asked them to think over the reason for this. Can you help them by giving the reason for this observation? Also, write the chemical equations to explain the formation of compounds of different colours.

23. Whenever an organic compound contains both N and S, then on fusion with Na metal compound gives NaSCN or NaCN and Na2S depending on the quantity of Na metal. If Na metal is less, then only NaSCN is formed. In that case L.E on treating with FeSO4 and H2SO4 gives red colour due to the formation of ferric thiocyanide Fe (SCN)3. In case of NaCN, L.E on treating with FeSO4 and H2SO4gives Prussian blue colour.
Chemical reactions: Fe2+ →Fe3+ (Oxidation)
Fe3+ + 3NaSCN →Fe (SCN)3 + 3Na+

65. Option (i)
i.e., Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A is the answer since in paper chromatography, a special quality of paper known as chromatography paper is used. Chromatography paper contains water molecules trapped in it which acts as the stationary phase. A strip of chromatography paper spotted at the base with the solution of the mixture is suspended in a suitable solvent or a mixture of solvents which acts as the mobile phase. The solvent rises up the paper by capillary action and flows over the spot. The paper selectively

64. Option (iii) i.e., Both A and R are not correct is the answer since sulphur is estimated by Carius method in the form of white precipitate of BaSO4 on heating with fuming and BaCl2. If light yellow solid is obtained means impurities are present. It is filtered, washed and then dried to get pure BaSO4 .

63. Option (iv) i.e., A is not correct, but R is correct is the answer since hybridization of C can be found out by counting σ bonds and π bonds present on C atom. This can be shown as-
If C has 3σ bonds then it is sp2 hybridized. If C has 2σ bonds then it is sp hybridized.

62. Option (i) i.e.,
Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A is the answer as when two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are known as position isomers and this phenomenon is termed as position isomerism. Pent-2-ene and pent-l-ene are position isomers because they differ in the position of the double bond.

61. Option (iv)
i.e., A is not correct, but R is correct is the answer. This is because canonical structures always have more energy than the resonance hybrid. Resonance hybrids are always found to be more stable than any of the canonical structures since the delocalization of electrons lowers the orbitals energy and gives stability.
