5 questions. Try each one first, then open its answer.

  1. Question 1

    Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids. Asked once: 24 Jan 2026 S2

    27
    The unsaturated ether on acidic hydrolysis produces carbonyl compounds as shown below:-
    CH3−CH=CH−O−CH=CH2CH_{3}- CH = CH - O - CH =CH_{2}
    ↓H3O(+)\downarrow H_{3}O^{( + )}
    CH3−CH2−CH=O and O=CH−CH3CH_{3}-CH_{2}- CH = O\text{~and~}O = CH -CH_{3}
    Based on this, predict the solution / reagent that will help to distinguish "P" and "Q" obtained in the following reaction.

    Given below are two statements : Statement I : The dipole moment of R-CN is greater than R−NCR - NC and R−NCR - NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R−COOHR-COOH. Statement II : R-CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl2{SOCl}_{2}, followed by the addition of NH3{NH}_{3} gives another compound(x). This compound (x) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOHNaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl3/KOH/Δ{CHCl}_{3}/KOH/\Delta produces R-NC In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
