I just made a rodmap based conversion since I was kinda bored. This one covers a lot of side reactions and products which are often missed whil learning the reactions. Give it a good try!

This question is from JEEA 2025 P1. An insanely lengthy question. Even the fastest solvers will require a good 6-7 mins. Even though the concept is sub mains level, the question will consume a lot of time if attempted.

My query is that if such a question comes in JEEA 2026, should I be inclined towards attempting it or would it be better to skip it and come back if time is left?

I registered for bitsat today morning but haven't made the payment yet. The site says registration and fee payment deadline was 5 pm today but the site is stilll accepting payments. Will the payment be forfeited at this point or should I pay the 3600?

I want to know when is it considerable to use and when to use some tricks in reaction prediction

Example: heating of ammonium salts if anion contains N then just write avg oxidation state in other cases combine the two molecule and remove H2O as in (NH4)2Cr2O7 we get N2Cr7H8O7 removing 4 H2O we have N2Cr2O3--> N2+ Cr2O3

XeO3+XeOF4--> Xe2O4F4--> XeO2F2 ("averge" of two reactants)

HClO3+HCl--> H2Cl2O3--> ClO2+ H2O (removed water)

Heavy metal nitrites decompose and give N2

any more cases? any response is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a list of common oxidising agents in JEE syllabus along with their reduction half cells?

for example:

ClO3- gives ClO2 in acidic medium and Cl- in basic medium

KMnO4 gives Mn2+ in acidic medium and MnO2 in basic medium

K2Cr2O7 gives Cr3+ in acidic medium (reaction is slow in basic medium)

S2O8 2- gives SO4 2- in both acidic and basic medium

ClO4- gives ClO3- (slow reaction)

more? any non routine reductions?
