16.
The reaction takes place as follows
17.
18.
(i) tert-Butyl bromide being a 3° alkyl halide on treatment with a base (i.e. NH3) prefers to undergo elimination rather than substitution. Therefore, the product is isobutylene rather than tert-butylamine.

1° amines containing tert-alkyl groups can be prepared by action of suitable Grignard reagents on O-methylhydroxylarnine. For example,

19.
(i)

(ii)

20.
p-dibromobenzene has higher melting point than its o-isomer due to symmetry of p-isomer that fits in the crystal lattice better than the o-isomer.
Hence, p-isomer has higher melting point than o-isomer (or m-isomer).
21.
(i) \({ C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }-{ CONH }_{ 2 }\overset { { Br }_{ 2 }/KOH }{ \longrightarrow } { C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }{ NH }_{ 2 }\)
\([A]\overset { { NaNO }_{ 2 }+HCI }{ \longrightarrow } { C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }{ N }_{ 2 }^{ + }{ CI }^{ - }[B]\overset { KI }{ \longrightarrow } { C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }I[C]\)

22.
(i) (d): Since the compound X is unreactive towards sodium so it is neither an acid nor an alcohol. Since the compound X is unreactive towards Schiff's base so it is not an aldehyde.
The compound X forms only one product on reaction with excess HI, indicates that the compound X may be ether.
(ii) (b): The reactions can be written as :
Since the equivalent weight of carboxylic acid is 60. So, it must be CH3COOH i.e., ethanoic acid.
(iii) (a) : The alcohol Z in that case should be C2H5OH and the compound Y should be ethyl iodide.
X is therefore diethyl ether (C2H5 - O -C2H5)
(iv) (C): In the presence of light and excess of chlorine, all the hydrogen atoms of diethyl ether are substituted to give perchlorodiethyl ether.
\(
\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}+10 \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{h} \mathrm{v}}{\longrightarrow}\\

\) \(
\mathrm{CCl}_{3} \mathrm{CCl}_{2}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CCl}_{2}-\mathrm{CCl}_{3}+10 \mathrm{HCl}\\
\text { Perchlorodiethyl ether }
\)
23.
24.
25.
26.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Explanation:
CCl4 is used as a fire extinguisher. The dense, non combustible vapours cover the burning substance and prevents the availability of oxygen around burning material.
27.
(c): Only primary amines can be prepared from amides (RCONH2 ) by treating with Br2 and KOH. Thus, N-methyl acetamide i.e., CH3CONHCH3 does not undergo Hoffmann bromamide reaction.
28.
(d): Phenol is a weaker acid than carbonic acid and hence, does not decompose NaHCO3 solution to evolve CO2 gas. Picric acid is 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol.
