Introduction:
The paper is focused upon developing one fundamental skills of Language learning; reading which needs a thorough
rethink and revision. In order to build a strong base for acquisition of the communication skills, suitable reading
content is selected from diverse areas in prose form. This would boost the learner’s competence in expressive and
comprehension skills. The well researched language exercises in the form of usage, vocabulary and grammar is the
other area that should attract the teacher and learner to work out for giving decent shape to the mastery of English
language.

PRACTICAL
At least five experiments should be done:
1. Acetylation of primary amine (Aniline to N-phenylacetamide) using Zn dust.
2. Nitration of salicylic acid by green method (Using calcium nitrate and acetic acid).
3. Bromination of acetanilide using ceric ammonium nitrate/KBr.
4. Microwave assisted nitration of Phenols using Cu(NO3)2.
5. Detection of elements in organic compounds by green method (Sodium carbonate fusion).
6. Base catalyzed Aldol condensation (Synthesis of dibenzalpropanone).
7. Vitamin C clock reaction using vitamin C tablets, tincture of iodine, hydrogen peroxide and liquid laundry
starch. Effect of concentration on clock reaction.
8. Photoreduction of benzophenone to benzopinacol in the presence of sunlight.
9. Diels Alder reaction in water: Reaction between furan and maleic acid in water and at room temperature rather
than in benzene and reflux.
10. Preparation and characterization of nanoparticles (Cu, Ag) using plant extract.
11. Preparation of propene by following two methods or any other reactions like addition, elimination, substitution
showing atomic economy can be studied
a. Triethylamine ion + OH- → Propene + Trimethylpropene + water
H2SO4/Δ
b. 1-propanol propene + water
