Question:medium

When sodium fusion extract of an organic compound was treated with CHCl$_3$, then violet colour of halogen appears. If 0.15 gm of the organic compound gives 0.12 gm of the silver halide, then find the percentage of halide in the organic compound.

Show Hint

When calculating the percentage of halide in an organic compound, use the ratio of the mass of halide to the mass of the organic compound along with the atomic and molecular weights to find the percentage.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Statement-I Analysis: Sucrose is dextrorotatory. Hydrolysis produces D-Glucose (dextro) and D-Fructose (laevo). The specific rotation of Fructose ($-92.4^\circ$) has a larger magnitude than that of Glucose ($+52.5^\circ$). The resulting mixture has a net negative rotation (laevorotatory). This phenomenon is called Inversion of Cane Sugar. Statement I is true. Statement-II Analysis: The statement claims "levorotation of glucose is more than dexrotation of fructose". This is factually incorrect and physically impossible (Glucose is dextro, Fructose is laevo). The correct logic is that the **laevorotation of fructose** is greater in magnitude than the **dextrorotation of glucose**. Thus, Statement II is false. Conclusion: Statement I is True, Statement II is False.
