SECTION-D
Case study based questions (4 marks)
29) The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+1+1) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.
The rotation of carbon-carbon single bond (sigma -bond), due to cylindrical symmetry of
s- MOs (molecular orbitals) long internuclear axis, in alkanes results into different spatial
arrangements of atoms in space, that are interconvertible. These arrangements are called
conformations. However, weak repulsive interaction are present between the adjacent bonds in
alkanes so the rotation of C—C single bond is not completely free and is hindered by a small
energy barriers of 1-20 kJ mol-1.
The repulsive interaction between the adjacent bond is due to electron cloud. The two types
of conformations are very common, i.e., staggered and eclipsed. The conformation in which the
hydrogen atoms attached to the two carbon atoms are as far apart as possible is called the
staggered conformation. The conformations in which the hydrogen atoms attached to the two
carbon atoms are as closed as possible is called eclipsed conformation.
Any intermediate conformation between the above two is called skew or gauche
 conformation. The electronic distribution of the sigma molecular orbital is symmetrical around
the internuclear axis of C-C bond which permits free rotation around C-C bond.
i) The spatial arrangements of atoms in which conversion of one another takes place by rotation
around C-C bond is known as
a) rotamers (b) conformers (c) conformations (d) All of these
ii) The possible rotamers of ethane is/are
(a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) ∞
iii) Why do different conformations of ethane cannot be separated and isolated?
Or
iv) Define torsional strain created in hydrocarbon due to rotation of a C-C bond.

30) It is essential to purify an organic compound. The method used for purification depends upon nature
of compound and impurity present in it. The common methods to purify a solid are sublimation and
crystallisation. Crystallisation is most common method applicable to most of solid organic compounds.
Liquids are purified by simple distillation, fractional distillation, distillation under reduced pressure, steam
distillation. Differential extraction is used to extract organic compound from aqueous solution.
Chromatography is used to separate coloured substances from plants. Column chromatography, thin layer
chromatography and partition chromatography are types of chromatography used for isolation and
purification of organic compounds.
(a) Which method is used to purify camphor?
(b) How is unwanted colour from organic compounds removed?
(c) How is chloroform (Boiling point 334 K) and aniline (b.pt. 457 K) are separated? Why?
Or

boiling point liquid? How are o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol separated?
