Question 47

Match List I with List II:

image

A. Alkaline solution of copper sulphate and sodium citrate → III (Aldehydes)

Reason: This chemical mixture describes Benedict's Reagent. It oxidizes aliphatic aldehydes, reducing the copper(II) complex into a red copper(I) oxide precipitate. It matches with III which features an aldehyde group (—CHO).
$$\text{}$$

B. Neutral FeCl3 solution → IV (Phenols)

Reason: Neutral ferric chloride serves as the classic diagnostic indicator for enols and phenolic —OH systems, creating highly colored coordination complexes (typically violet/purple). It matches with IV (Phenol structure).
$$\text{}$$

C. Alkaline chloroform solution → II (Primary Amines)

Reason: Chloroform in an alkaline environment (CHCl_3 + KOH) is the basis for the Carbylamine Test / Isocyanide Test. This test reacts exclusively with aliphatic or aromatic 1° amines to emit a foul-smelling foul odor. It matches with II (Isopropylamine).
$$\text{}$$

D. Lucas Reagent (not shown fully, by elimination) → I (Alcohols)

Reason: Lucas reagent (HCl +ZnCl2 )acts as a test to differentiate primary, secondary, and tertiary structures containing an alcohol function group by forming insoluble alkyl chlorides. It matches with I (Benzyl alcohol variant).
$$\text{}$$

Correct Match Sequence: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
