1.

Which could undergo SN2 reaction faster in the following pair and why?

CH3
CH3 CH2 Br and CH3 C CH3

Br
Sol. CH3 CH2 Br is more reactive as primary alkyl halides are more reactive in SN2 mechanism.
2.

Out of BaCl2 and KCl, which one is more effective in causing coagulation of a negatively charged
colloidal Sol? Give reason.

Sol. BaCl2 is more effective as Ba2+ have higher congulating power than K+ according to Hardy
Schulz Law.
3.

What is the formula of a compound in which the element Y forms ccp lattice and atoms of X
occupy 1/3rd of tetrahedral voids?

Sol. Let the number of Y = x

then ctahedral voids = x
and tetrahedral voids = 2x

X 2x Yx
3

i.e. X2Y3
4.

What is the basicity of H3PO4?

Sol. H3PO4 is tribasic as it has three OH groups so it can denote three H+ ions.

What is meant by positive deviations from Raoults law? Give an example. What is the sign of
mixH for positive deviation?

Sol. The solutions in which the attraction between solute solvent is weaker then solute-solute and
solvent-solvent attractions. In such solution H = +ve, e.g., solution of cyclohexane and ethanol.
OR
7.

Define azeotropes. What type of azeotrope is formed by positive deviation from Raoults law?
Give an example.

Sol. Azeotropes are constant boiling solutions. In such solution both the components of solution
boiling at same temperature so it is difficult to saperate the two components of an azeotropic
solutions by distillation.
56/1/2/D

P.T.O.

Solutions having positive deviation will form minimum boiling azeotrops e.g., solution of ethenol
in water.
8.

(a)

Following reactions occur at cathode during the electrolysis of aqueous silver chloride
solution:
Ag+ (aq) + e Ag (s)

E = +0.80 V

H+ (aq) + e H2 (g)

E = 0.00 V

On the bssis of their standard reduction electrode potential (E) values, which reaction is
feasible at the cathode and why?
(b)

Define limiting molar conductivity. Why conductivity of an electrolyte solution decreases

with the decrease in concentration?

Sol. (a)

Since Eo +
is positive that means Ag+ is undergoing reduction therefore the reaction at
Ag /Ag
cathode is
Ag+ + e Ag

(b)

The sum of all ionic conduction at infinite dilution or when the concentration of the
electrolyte is almost zero in limiting molar conduction. It is the maximum conduction
offered by an electrolyte.
As the dilution increases or concentration decreases the number of ions per unit volume
decreases. So, conductance decreases.

9.

filled-d-subshell.

(b)

Lyophilic solution is more stable than lyophobic soluble as in case of lyophilic sol. dispersed
phase has great affinity, for dispersion medium that is why dispersed phase does not get
easily precipitated.

Fibrous proteins
In
fibrous
proteins,

muscles), etc.

Globular proteins
In globular proteins, the polypeptide
chain is folded, looped and twisted so
that the molecules are spherical.
They are soluble in water. For example,
egg albumin, heamoglobin, enzymes
and some hormones like insulin.

18. Give reasons:

(a)

n-Butyl bromide has higher boiling point than t-butyl bromide.

(b)

Racemic mixture is optically inactive.

(c)

The presence of nitro group (NO2) at o/p positions increases the reactivity of haloarenes
towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Sol. (a)

Since n-Butyl bromide (CH3CH2CH2CH2Br) has larger surface area w.r.t. tert. butyl bromide
[(CH3)3CBr] hence it has greater Vander Waal interraction, therefore higher boiling point.

(b)

Racemix mixture is an equimolar solution (50% of dextroratatory and 50% laevorotatory)

(c)

NO2 is e withdrawing group, hence it decreases e density at 0 and for haloarenes

therefore easier Nu substitution reaction i.e. X can be easily substituted.

19. 3.9 g of benzoic acid dissolved in 49 g of benzene shows a depression in freezing point of 1.62 K.
Calculate the vant Hoff factor and predict the nature of solute (associated or dissociated).
(Given: Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122 g mol1, Kf for benzene = 4.9 K kg mol1)
Sol. Mass of solute (WB) i.e. C6H5 COOH = 3.9 g

Mass of solvent (WA) = 49g =

Molar mass of C6H5COOH = 122 g/mol

Kf = 4.9 K kg/mol.

Tf = 1.62 K

20. (a)

Indicate the principle behind the method used for the refining of zinc.

(b)

What is the role of silica in the extraction of copper?

(c)

Which form of the iron is the purest form of commercial iron?

Sol. (a)

Impure Zn can be refined by distillation as it has low boiling point and can be obtained as
distillate

(b)

During extraction of Cu, FeS or FeO is present as impurity, hence SiO2 is added as flux to
form silicate (slag) which can be removed easily as it floats over molten Cu.

(i)

Actinoid contraction is greater than lanthanoid contraction.

(ii) Transition metals form coloured compounds.

(b)

Complete the following equation:

2M nO 4 + 6H+ + 5NO2

Sol. (a)

(i)

Actinoid contraction is greater than lanthanoid contraction due to poorer shielding

effect of 5f orbitals in actinoids as compared to 4f orbital in lanthanoids.

(ii) Since they have unpaired e is d-orbital and show d-d transition.

23. Mr. Roy, the principal of one reputed school organized a seminar in which he invited parents
and principals to discuss the serious issue of diabetes and depression in students. They all
resolved this issue by strictly banning the junk food in schools and to introduce healthy snacks
and drinks like soup, lassi, milk etc. in school canteens. They also decided to make compulsory
half an hour physical activities for the students in the morning assembly daily. After six months,
Mr. Roy conducted the health survey in most of the schools and discovered a tremendous
improvement in the health of students.
After reading the above passage, answer the following:
(i)

What are the values (at least two) displayed by Mr. Roy?

(ii) As a student, how can you spread awareness about this issue?
(iii) What are tranquilizers? Give an example.
(iv) Why is use of aspartame limited to cold foods and drinks?
Sol. (i)

The values displayed by Mr. Roy are of concern and care.

(ii) As a student, I can help spreading awareness about this through posters, skits, nukkad
nataks, holding symposiums etc.
(iii) Tranquilizers are neurologically active drugs that induce a sense of well being and are
used to treat stress, anxiety and mild or severe mental diseases. e.g. Equanil and
meprabamate.
(iv) the use of aspartame is limited to cold foods and drinks as it is unstable at cooking
temperatures.

Sol. (a)

Draw the structures of the following :

(i)

C l F3

(i)

From HF to HI as the bond length increases and the bond strength decreases, it becomes
easy to release H+ ion. The bond in HI being the weakest is most acidic. Hence acidic
character increases. in the given order.

(ii)

XeF4

(ii) The difference in m.p. and b.p. of oxygen and sulphur is due to the difference in their
atomicities. Oxygen exists as a diatomic gas (O2) whereas sulphur as a polyatomic
(S8) molecular solid. Hence m.p. and b.p. of sulphur are higher than oxygen.

Out of the different forms of phosphorus, white phosphorus is the most reactive. It is because
it exists as P4 discrete tetrahedral units with 60 angle which results in angular strain
and makes it highly reactive.
