19. Threonine contains two chiral centers. Rest of the compounds contain single chiral center. Answer is c.
21. Boiling points of amines: 1o > 2o > 3o amine. So, trimethyl amine will have lowest boiling points. Answer is c.
23. o-dinitrobenzene means nitro groups are present on ortho position, which is 2nd position. So, nitro groups are on 1 and 2 groups. Answer is a.
25. The most acidic is aspartic acid and glutamic acid. Answers are b and d.
