Well yu see at the first glimpse of the question yu should make out tht D is incorrect as the Cs and Na is in same group
the charges wont also affect since Cs and Na hav the same charge
the only thing tht is valid is tht Cs is quite a large sized atom, comparatively so the Ionic radius should be the ans

for Q 21 it is B
For Q 26 its D because it is tertiary and opens to only SN1 reaction whose rate only depends on conc. of Halogenoalkane
For Q 25 Cl atom can replace any H on carbon atom so it can replace 4 atoms anyone at a time
Hope this helps

Please guys help especially with 5. For 26 ans is D but B also forms secondary carbocation and it could be stable as well like in sn2 mechanisms so why it isn't B?

For Q5,The answer is B
This Question is simple,but tricky :p
Lsn...The Enthalpy change to convert I2 from solid to gas is +38 KJ mol^-1 (GIVEN)
The Enthalpy change for the reaction of I2(g) with Cl2 is -214 KJ mol^-1 (GIVEN)
Wat is the definition of enthalpy change of formation of ICl3?? it is when i mol of a ICl3 is produced from its elements
The enthalpy change for the production of 2ICl3 is = +38 - 214 = -176 KJ mol^-1
2 ICl3 --------> - 176
1 ICl3 --------> -176 /2 = - 88 KJ mol^-1

Hope this helps :D

MAn could u plz include the answers next time :)
BEST OF LUCK :D
sorry about that if i include answers then brain will automatically make logic to make the answer correct so i may not get good explanation happens to me but you guys rock! sure from next time

For Q 26 its D because it is tertiary and opens to only SN1 reaction whose rate only depends on conc. of Halogenoalkane
For Q 25 Cl atom can replace any H on carbon atom so it can replace 4 atoms anyone at a time

why is 21 B?? i get that two different products are formed but arent both undergoing elimination?? and i dont get 25 clearly please elaborate thanks!! :D and by the way 25 ans is C

I have doubts on 5,25 too.
For 21, first draw the displayed formula. When alcohol is reacted with conc. H2SO4, dehydration should occur. However, for the first isomer there is no neighbouring CH from where the H could be taken. 2nd isomer can be easily dehydrated, as shown in the picture.

For 26, secondary carbocation can either undergo SN1 or SN2 mechanism, so it is better you go with the last option, the third degree halogenation.

Bro, can you explain how enthalpy change of prod. Is 38-214?

You can remove a hydrogen from any if the side chains, CH3, CH3, CH3 and C2H5, but if you remove it from the methyl groups that aren't in the main chain but are attached as a side chain to carbon 2, you end up with the same product
thought so but had doubts thanks for clearing.. :D
