A chemist has 44 samples of artificial sweetener A,B,CA, B, C and DD . To identify these samples, he performed certain experiments and noted the following observations:
(i) AA and DD both form blue-violet colour with ninhydrin.
(ii) Lassaigne extract of CC gives positive AgNO3{AgNO}_{3} test and negative Fe4[ Fe (CN)6]3F{e}_{4}{\left[\text{ Fe }{\left(CN\right)}_{6}\right]}_{3} test.
(iii) Lassaigne extract of BB and DD gives positive sodium nitroprusside test.
Based on these observations which option is correct?A chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certainA chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certainA chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certainA chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certain

Options

  1. AA : Aspartame; B : Saccharin; C : Sucralose; D : Alitame
  2. BA : Alitame; B : Saccharin; C : Aspartame; D : Sucralose
  3. CA : Saccharin; B : Alitame; C : Sucralose; D : Aspartame
  4. DA : Aspartame; B : Alitame; C : Saccharin; D : Sucralose

Correct answer

A. A : Aspartame; B : Saccharin; C : Sucralose; D : Alitame

Step-by-step solution

A−A - Aspartame
A chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certain
B−B - Saccharine
A chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certain
C−C - Sucralose
A chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certain
D−D - Alitame
A chemist has 4 samples of artificial sweetener A, B, C and D . To identify these samples, he performed certain
(i) A and DA \text{ and } D give positive test with ninhydrin because both have free carboxylic and amine groups.
(ii) CC form precipitate with AgNO3AgN{O}_{3} in the Lassaigne extract of the sugar because it has chlorine atoms.
(iii) B and DB \text{ and } D give positive test with sodium nitroprusside because both have sulphur atoms.
