Comprehension

An organic compound P with molecular formula C9H18O2 decolorizes bromine water and also shows positive iodoform test. P on ozonolysis followed by treatment with H2O2 gives Q and R. While compound Q shows positive iodoform test, compound R does not give positive iodoform test. Q and R on oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) followed by heating give S and T, respectively. Both S and T show positive iodoform test.
Complete copolymerization of 500 moles of Q and 500 moles of R gives one mole of a single acyclic copolymer U. [Given, atomic mass: H =1, C = 12, O =16]

Solution and Explanation

Analysis of Compound P and Reaction Pathway 

Step 1: Analysis of Compound P

Compound P reacts with bromine water, indicating unsaturation. Additionally, P gives a positive iodoform test, suggesting the presence of a methyl ketone group (\( \text{CH}_3\text{CO} \)) or a secondary alcohol with a methyl group.

Step 2: Ozonolysis of P

Ozonolysis of P yields two products: Q and R.

  • Q: Gives a positive iodoform test, confirming the presence of a methyl ketone group.
  • R: Does not give a positive iodoform test, indicating the absence of a methyl ketone group.

Step 3: Oxidation of Q and R

Both Q and R are oxidized using PCC, producing S and T, respectively.

  • S and T: Both give positive iodoform tests, confirming the presence of \( \text{CH}_3\text{CO} \) groups.
  • S and T: Each contains one oxygen atom.

Step 4: Total Oxygen Atoms in S and T

Each compound contributes one oxygen atom, so the total number of oxygen atoms in S and T is:

\[ \text{Total oxygen atoms} = 2 \]

Final Answer:

The total number of oxygen atoms in S and T is: 2

Correct Answer: 102018

Solution and Explanation

Copolymerization and Molecular Weight Calculation 

Step 1: Copolymerization of Q and R

The polymer formed is poly \( \beta \)-hydroxy butyrate-co-\( \beta \)-hydroxy valerate.

Step 2: Calculate the Molecular Weight

If the number of moles is 500, the molecular mass of the polymer is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Molecular Weight} = (104 + 118) \times 500 - 999 \times 18 = 93018 \, \text{g/mol} \]

Final Answer:

The molecular weight of the polymer is \( 93018 \, \text{g/mol} \).
