Question:

A trinitro compound, 1,3,5-tris-(4-nitrophenyl)benzene, on complete reaction with an excess of Sn/HCl gives a major product, which on treatment with an excess of NaNO2/HCl at 0°C provides P as the product. P, upon treatment with excess of H2O at room temperature, gives the product Q. Bromination of Q in aqueous medium furnishes the product R. The compound P upon treatment with an excess of phenol under basic conditions gives the product S. The molar mass difference between compounds Q and R is 474 g mol–1 and between compounds P and S is 172.5 g mol–1. The number of heteroatoms present in one molecule of R is ______ . 
[Use: Molar mass (in g mol–1): H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, Br = 80, Cl = 35.5 Atoms other than C and H are considered as heteroatoms]

Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Organic Chemistry is a subset of chemistry dealing with compounds of carbon. Therefore, we can say that Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds and is 200-225 years old. Carbon forms bond with itself to form long chains of hydrocarbons, e.g.CH4, methane and CH3-CH3 ethane. Carbon has the ability to form carbon-carbon bonds quite elaborately. Polymers like polyethylene is a linear chain where hundreds of CH2 are linked together.

Importance of Organic Chemistry:

Organic chemistry is applicable in a variety of areas including-

  • Medicines: Example- Aspirin which is a headache medicine and Ibuprofen is a painkiller, both are organic compounds. Other examples include paracetamol.
  • Food: Example- Starch which is a carbohydrate is an organic compound and a constituent of rice and other grains. It is the source of energy.
  • Clothing: Example- Nylon, Polyester and Cotton are forms of organic compounds.
  • Fuels: Examples- Gasoline, Petrol and Diesel are organic compounds used in the automobile industry at large.
