Paragraph I: An organic compound \(\mathbf{P}\) with molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_9 \mathrm{H}_{18} \mathrm{O}_2\) decolorizes bromine water and also shows positive iodoform test. \(\mathbf{P}\) on ozonolysis followed by treatment with \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\) gives \(\mathbf{Q}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\). While compound \(\mathbf{Q}\) shows positive iodoform test, compound \(\mathbf{R}\) does not give positive iodoform test. \(\mathbf{Q}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\) on oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) followed by heating give \(\mathbf{S}\) and \(\mathbf{T}\), respectively. Both \(\mathbf{S}\) and \(\mathbf{T}\) show positive iodoform test. Complete copolymerization of 500 moles of \(\mathbf{Q}\) and 500 moles of \(\mathbf{R}\) gives one mole of a single acyclic copolymer \(\mathbf{U}\). [Given, atomic mass: \(\mathrm{H}=1, \mathrm{C}=12, \mathrm{O}=16\)] Question: Sum of number of oxygen atoms in $\mathbf{S}$ and $\mathbf{T}$ is

Solution

$\mathrm{S} \& \mathrm{~T}$ shows + ve idoform test. Total oxygen atoms present in $\mathrm{S}, \mathrm{T}$ are $=1+1=2$ Ans. $\Rightarrow 2$
