JEE MainChemistryPractical Organic ChemistryNumerical+4 / −1
The transformation occurring in Duma's method is given below : C2H7N+(2x+y2)CuO→xCO2+y2H2O+z2N2+(2x+y2)Cu{C_2}{H_7}N + \left( {2x + {y \over 2}} \right)CuO \to xC{O_2} + {y \over 2}{H_2}O + {z \over 2}{N_2} + \left( {2x + {y \over 2}} \right)CuC2​H7​N+(2x+2y​)CuO→xCO2​+2y​H2​O+2z​N2​+(2x+2y​)Cu The value of y is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 7

  1. The given compound is ethylamine-like formula:

C2H7NC_2H_7NC2​H7​N

  1. Compare it with the general products in Duma's method:

CxHyNz+(2x+y2)CuO→xCO2+y2H2O+z2N2+(2x+y2)CuC_xH_yN_z + \left(2x+\frac{y}{2}\right)CuO \to xCO_2 + \frac{y}{2}H_2O + \frac{z}{2}N_2 + \left(2x+\frac{y}{2}\right)CuCx​Hy​Nz​+(2x+2y​)CuO→xCO2​+2y​H2​O+2z​N2​+(2x+2y​)Cu

  1. Match atoms from C2H7NC_2H_7NC2​H7​N with the general formula:
  • Number of carbon atoms =x=2= x = 2=x=2
  • Number of hydrogen atoms =y=7= y = 7=y=7
  • Number of nitrogen atoms =z=1= z = 1=z=1
  1. Therefore,

y=7y = 7y=7

  1. Quick verification by substitution:

C2H7N+(2(2)+72)CuO→2CO2+72H2O+12N2+(4+72)CuC_2H_7N + \left(2(2)+\frac{7}{2}\right)CuO \to 2CO_2 + \frac{7}{2}H_2O + \frac{1}{2}N_2 + \left(4+\frac{7}{2}\right)CuC2​H7​N+(2(2)+27​)CuO→2CO2​+27​H2​O+21​N2​+(4+27​)Cu

This is consistent with the general Duma's method expression.

Hence the required integer is:

7\boxed{7}7​
