Hydrocarbons question

2025 · 22 Jan · Shift 1 · Q13

JEE MainChemistryHydrocarbonsMCQ+4 / −1
Given below are two statements : Statement I : One mole of propyne reacts with excess of sodium to liberate half a mole of H2\mathrm{H}_2H2​ gas. Statement II : Four g of propyne reacts with NaNH2\mathrm{NaNH}_2NaNH2​ to liberate NH3\mathrm{NH}_3NH3​ gas which occupies 224 mL at STP. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
  1. A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  2. B
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  3. C
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  4. D
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Correct answer: D

  1. Identify the compound

    Propyne is a terminal alkyne: CH3−C≡CH\mathrm{CH_3-C\equiv CH}CH3​−C≡CH

    Terminal alkynes contain one acidic hydrogen attached to the carbon of the triple bond.

  2. Check Statement I

    Reaction of a terminal alkyne with sodium metal: 2 RC≡CH+2 Na→2 RC≡CNa+H22\,\mathrm{RC\equiv CH} + 2\,\mathrm{Na} \rightarrow 2\,\mathrm{RC\equiv CNa} + \mathrm{H_2}2RC≡CH+2Na→2RC≡CNa+H2​

    Thus, 2 moles of terminal alkyne give 1 mole of H2\mathrm{H_2}H2​.

    Therefore, 1 mole of propyne gives: 12 mole of H2\frac{1}{2}\text{ mole of } \mathrm{H_2}21​ mole of H2​

    So, Statement I is correct.

  3. Check Statement II

    Reaction of propyne with sodium amide: CH3−C≡CH+NaNH2→CH3−C≡CNa+NH3\mathrm{CH_3-C\equiv CH + NaNH_2 \rightarrow CH_3-C\equiv CNa + NH_3}CH3​−C≡CH+NaNH2​→CH3​−C≡CNa+NH3​

    Stoichiometry shows: 1 mole propyne →1 mole NH31\text{ mole propyne } \rightarrow 1\text{ mole } \mathrm{NH_3}1 mole propyne →1 mole NH3​

  4. Moles of propyne in 4 g

    Molar mass of propyne C3H4\mathrm{C_3H_4}C3​H4​: 3(12)+4(1)=36+4=40 g/mol3(12) + 4(1) = 36 + 4 = 40\,\mathrm{g/mol}3(12)+4(1)=36+4=40g/mol

    Moles of propyne: 440=0.1 mol\frac{4}{40} = 0.1\,\mathrm{mol}404​=0.1mol

    Hence moles of NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​ liberated: 0.1 mol0.1\,\mathrm{mol}0.1mol

  5. Volume of NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​ at STP

    At STP, 1 mole gas occupies: 22.4 L=22400 mL22.4\,\mathrm{L} = 22400\,\mathrm{mL}22.4L=22400mL

    So volume of 0.10.10.1 mol NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​: 0.1×22.4=2.24 L=2240 mL0.1 \times 22.4 = 2.24\,\mathrm{L} = 2240\,\mathrm{mL}0.1×22.4=2.24L=2240mL

    But the statement says 224 mL, which is incorrect.

    Therefore, Statement II is incorrect.

  6. Final conclusion

    • Statement I: Correct
    • Statement II: Incorrect

    Therefore, the correct option is: D\boxed{\text{D}}D​
