Sample Question with CBSE marking scheme for Chemistry
The marking scheme for answer to sample question in Chemistry paper is given below:
Question (3 marks)
Question (3 marks)
1. Give Chemical Tests to distinguish between:
i) Isopropyl alcohol and n-propylalcohol
ii) Phenol and alcohol
iii) Methyl ethanoate and Ethyl ethanoate
i) Isopropyl alcohol and n-propylalcohol
ii) Phenol and alcohol
iii) Methyl ethanoate and Ethyl ethanoate
Answer 1 :
i) On adding NaOH/I2 or NaOI and heating, Isopropyl alcohol forms yellow ppt of iodoform(CHI3) whereas n-propyl alcohol does not. (or any other suitable test)
ii) Phenol and alcohol On adding neutral FeCl3 solution, Phenol forms red-violet complex whereas alcohol does not. (or any other suitable test)
iii) methyl ethanoate and ethyl ethanoatelodoform test – On hydrolysis, ethylethanoate gives ethanol which on heating with NaOI gives yellow ppt of CHI3 whereas Methyl Ethanoate on hydrolysis gives Methanol which does not form Iodoform with NaOI 1*3=3
ii) Phenol and alcohol On adding neutral FeCl3 solution, Phenol forms red-violet complex whereas alcohol does not. (or any other suitable test)
iii) methyl ethanoate and ethyl ethanoatelodoform test – On hydrolysis, ethylethanoate gives ethanol which on heating with NaOI gives yellow ppt of CHI3 whereas Methyl Ethanoate on hydrolysis gives Methanol which does not form Iodoform with NaOI 1*3=3
