Carbon due to its chemical property of catenation, tetravalency and the ability to form stable covalent bonds form hydrocarbon and halo-alkanes easily.
The process of removal of hydrogen and halogen from adjacent carbon atoms of haloalkens is called dehydrohalogenation. NaOEt ( Sodium ethoxide) used in Dehydrohalogenation. It is a strong base and helps remove a β-hydrogen from the haloalkane.

Helium mixed with oxygen under pressure is given to sea divers for respiration because pure oxygen can be toxic at a great concentration at the depth. Therefore oxygen can be mixed with helium to reduce oxygen concentration while eliminating nitrogen.
The main reason for adding helium to the breathing mix is to reduce the proportion of nitrogen and oxygen below those of air, to allow the gas mix to be breathed safely on deep dives.
A low proportion of nitrogen is required to reduce nitrogen narcosis and other physiological effects of gas at depth.

(i) Since I- ion is a better leaving group than Br- ion, therefore, CH3I reacts faster CH3Br in SN2 reaction with OH- ion.
Better the leaving group, faster is the SN2 reaction.
(ii) On steric grounds, 1? alkyl halides are more reactive than tert-alkyl halides in SN2 reactions. Therefore, CH3Cl will react at a faster rate than (CH3)3CCl in a SN2 reaction with OH- ion. (Bulkier the group, slower is the SN2 )

If we compare the M.Tech programme of SVUCE, Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC) and CIT Chennai, we will see that REC and CIT Chennai have the same tuition fee at INR 50,000 whereas, SVUCE M.Tech tuition fee is varied. The total tuition fee of the M.Tech programme is INR 37,800 to 86,000 depending on the type of course chosen.

(a) 1-butanol is treated with KI in the presence of H3PO4 where the OH is being replaced by the iodine and gives H2O and KH2PO4 as the by-product with 1-iodobutane as the final

(b) The conversion of 1-chlorobutane to 1-iodobutane simply takes place by treating the reactant with KI in the presence of acetone. The iodine from KI normally replaces the chlorine from the reactant and gives 1-iodobutane as the final product with KCl as the by product.

(c) The conversion of but-1-ene to 1-iodobutane takes place according to anti-markovnikoff (positive charged ion H+ goes to the carbon which has less number of hydrogens and negative part Br-

The total tuition fee for BSc courses at Dr. C.V. Raman University ranges from INR 30,000 to INR 2.4 lakh. On the other hand, the total tuition fee for BSc courses at KK University ranges from INR 40,000 to INR 2.8 lakh. Hence, it clearly can be seen that CVRU Bihar is more affordable than KK University for BSc courses. However, the fee structure can be only one component that candidates consider while comparing institutes, but several factors can be taken into account while choosing the best university/ college, such as placement packages, seats, ranking of that particular institute, affiliation, accreditation, etc.&nbs

Double bond equivalent is used to find the level of unsaturations present in an organic molecule.
DBE = C +1-H/2+X/2-N/2
Where C= number of carbon atoms present H=number of hydrogen atoms present N=number of nitrogen atoms present X=number of halogen atoms present Double bond equivalent (DBE) for C4H9Br
= 4+1-9/2+1/2
=0
So none of the isomers has a ring or unsaturation, so the isomers are positions or chain isomers as shown below in the table:

As per the molecular formula , one thing can be confirmed; the hydrogen is either cycloalkane or it is an alkene. However, alkenes readily react with chlorine in even dark because of the double bond. Therefore, it is possible that the hydrocarbon is cycloalkane.
Now, let us consider the reactivity. Cycloalkanes are the saturated hydrocarbons with no double bonds. These do not react with Chlore in dark because such a reaction needs UV light for initiating the process of free radical substitution. Haloalkane and Haloarenes NCERT solutions cover this as well as other questions in further detail.
In bright sunlight, the UV light star

Dipole moment of a molecule depends on the electronegativity difference between atoms bonded covalently and geometry of the molecule (how far the atoms are from each other). Dipole moment is important to understand the polarity of a molecule.
The three dimensional structures of the three compounds along with the direction of dipole moment in each of their bonds are given below:-

CCl4 being symmetrical has zero dipole moment. In CHCl3, the resultant of the two C-Cl dipole moments is opposed by the resultant of C-H and C-Cl bonds. Since the dipole Moment of latter resultant is expected to be smaller than the former, CHCl3 has a finite dipo

- Write the longest chain first e. in this case it is ‘pentane’ consisting of 5 carbons.
- Now, place the substituents at their respective place. For eg. Chlorine(Cl) at second carbon and methyl(CH3) at third carbon.

- Write the longest chain first i.e. in this case it is ‘benzene’ a cyclic structure consisting of 6 carbons
with 3 double bonds.
Now, place the substituent Bromine(Br) at the para position i.e. at the fourth carbon.

CH3CH (Cl)CH (Br)CH3: 2-Bromo-3-chlorobutane
- Write the name of side substituent according to the alphabetical order. Example: bromo is written before chloro as B comes before
- Always use a hyphen {-} between a number and a Since Br is attached to 2 position and Cl is attached to third position i.e. it is written as 2-Bromo and 3-chloro.
- Lastly, write the name of the longest hydrocarbon chain e. butane of 4 carbons.
