EEJ MAIN Chemistry QUESTION #5518
Question 1

Match the drugs in Column I with the appropriate chemical test in Column II:

Column I Column II
(A) Chloroxylenol (P) Carbylamine test
(B) Norethindrone (Q) Sodium hydrogencarbonate test
(C) Sulphapyridine (R) Ferric chloride test
(D) Penicillin (S) Bayer's test
  • $A \to R;\ B \to P;\ C \to S;\ D \to Q$✔️
  • $A \to Q;\ B \to S;\ C \to P;\ D \to R$
  • $A \to R;\ B \to S;\ C \to P;\ D \to Q$
  • $A \to Q;\ B \to P;\ C \to S;\ D \to R$
Correct Answer Explanation

Chloroxylenol contains a phenolic –OH group → Ferric chloride test (R). Norethindrone has a primary amine group → Carbylamine test (P). Sulphapyridine contains a C=C double bond (unsaturation) → Bayer's test (S). Penicillin is a carboxylic acid → Sodium hydrogencarbonate test (Q). So: $A \to R,\ B \to P,\ C \to S,\ D \to Q$.
