Answer:
Correct Answer: 36. $A \rightarrow r, s \quad B \rightarrow p, q \quad C \rightarrow p, q, r \quad D \rightarrow p$
Solution:
- Sodium fusion extract gives Prussian blue colouration, nitrogen and carbon both present in the compound. Phenolic group and salt of carboxylic acid gives $FeCl _3$ test. Chloride salt gives white precipitate of $AgCl$ on treatment with $AgNO _3$. Hydrazone formation occur effectively at $pH=4.5$. The reaction proceeds in that condition only when $H^{+}$concentration is just sufficient to activate the following enolisation.
As $H^{+}$concentration rises sufficiently, a large number of molecules of hydrazine gets converted into hydrazinium ion which is not nucleophilic and reaction becomes impossible. Further low concentration of $H^{+}$(in the case of 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazinium bromide) is not effective to proceed elimination.
