LIST-II (Functional Group detected): I. Double bond/unsaturation II. Carboxylic acid III. Phenolic -OH IV. Alcoholic -OH
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (A)A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I✓ Correct
- (B)A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
- (C)A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
- (D)A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Answer: (A)
Solution
Each reagent is a specific functional-group test. Sodium bicarbonate solution gives brisk effervescence of carbon dioxide only with a carboxylic acid. Neutral ferric chloride develops a violet or blue colour with a phenolic hydroxyl. Ceric ammonium nitrate produces a red colour with an alcoholic hydroxyl. Alkaline potassium permanganate, Baeyer's reagent, is decolourised by a carbon-carbon double bond, the test for unsaturation. The correct pairing is sodium bicarbonate with carboxylic acid, neutral ferric chloride with phenolic hydroxyl, ceric ammonium nitrate with alcoholic hydroxyl, and alkaline permanganate with unsaturation.
