JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2024 - 9th April Evening Shift - No. 16)

Match List I with List II

LIST I
(Test)
LIST II
(Observation)
A. $$\mathrm{Br_2}$$ water test I. Yellow orange or orange red precipitate formed
B. Ceric ammonium nitrate test II. Reddish orange colour disappears
C. Ferric chloride test III. Red colour appears
D. 2, 4 - DNP test IV. Blue, Green, Violet or Red colour appear

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Explanation

Let's match the given tests in List I with the correct observations in List II based on known chemical reactions and their typical outcomes:

List I with List II

A. $\mathrm{Br_2}$ water test

  • This test is used to detect unsaturation in organic compounds. If the compound has a double bond (alkenes) or a triple bond (alkynes), the $\mathrm{Br_2}$ in water (bromine water) will react and decolorize.

  • Correct Observation: Reddish orange color of bromine water disappears (II).

B. Ceric ammonium nitrate test

  • This test is used to detect alcohols. Ceric ammonium nitrate forms a red-colored complex with alcohols.

  • Correct Observation: Red color appears (III).

C. Ferric chloride test

  • Commonly used to detect phenols, the ferric chloride test leads to the formation of a colored complex with phenols, typically varying shades like purple, green, blue, or even red, depending on the specific phenol.

  • Correct Observation: Blue, Green, Violet, or Red color appear (IV).

D. 2,4-DNP test

  • This test is used for the detection of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones). 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) reacts with carbonyl groups to form a yellow, orange, or red precipitate.

  • Correct Observation: Yellow orange or orange red precipitate formed (I).

Conclusion:

Based on these observations, the correct matching of tests with outcomes should be:

  • A with II

  • B with III

  • C with IV

  • D with I

This makes the correct choice:

Option A: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
