Question:medium

Which of the following graph is correct between log P$_{CO_2}$ vs log X$_{CO_2}$? [given P$_{CO_2}$ = Partial Pressure of CO$_2$, X$_{CO_2}$ = Mole fraction of CO$_2$ in solution]

Show Hint

The equation log P = log K + log X represents a linear relationship, where log P$_{CO_2}$ vs log X$_{CO_2}$ should yield a straight line.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Identify Reaction Flow. - Reagent KOH/Br$_2$ is the **Hoffmann Bromamide Degradation**. This implies the starting material X is an **Amide**. - Amide X $\to$ Amine P (via Hoffmann). - P $\to$ Diazonium salt Q (via Diazotisation). - Q $\to$ Nitrile R (via Sandmeyer/CuCN). - R $\to$ Carboxylic Acid S (via Hydrolysis). - Also, X (Amide) $\to$ S (Acid) via direct hydrolysis. This is consistent.
Step 2: Identify Structure T. S reacts with KMnO$_4$/H$^+$ to form T. T has "two types of hydrogen". If S is a substituted benzoic acid, oxidation of alkyl side chains occurs.
Step 3: Analyze Compound X. Formula C$_8$H$_9$NO. An aromatic amide. Common structure: Methylbenzamide ($CH_3-C_6H_4-CONH_2$) or N-methylbenzamide or acetanilide types. Given X is an amide that undergoes Hoffmann, it must be a primary amide ($R-CONH_2$). If X is a methyl-benzamide, hydrolysis yields methyl-benzoic acid (S). Oxidation of S (methyl-benzoic acid) yields Terephthalic or Isophthalic or Phthalic acid (Dicarboxylic acid). The final product T must have high symmetry to have only "two types of hydrogen" (e.g., benzene ring protons and acid protons). Terephthalic acid (Para isomer) fits well: 4 aromatic protons (identical by symmetry) and 2 acidic protons (identical). Total 2 types. Conclusion: X is likely p-methylbenzamide or similar structure leading to para-substituted product. Matching Option (3).
