19. i. Due to the resonance effect, the C-X bond gets partial double bond character.
ii. Due to the instability of phenyl cation, SN1 reaction does not occur.
iii. Due to the greater electronegativity of the sp2 hybridized C to which the halogen
2 2
is bonded.
iv. Due to the possible repulsion between nucleophile and electron rich benzene ring.
[Any 2 reasons required]
20. This is due to the presence of inter molecular hydrogen bonding in ethanol, which is
2 2
absent in methoxymethane.
21. Propanal (being an aldehyde) gives the following tests:
Tollen’s test: When heated with Tollen’s reagent, Propanal gives a bright silver mirror
Fehling’s test: When heated with equal volume of Fehling’s solutions A and B,
Propanal gives reddish brown ppt.
Schiff’s test: Propanal restore the pink colour of Schiff’s reagent. 2 2
The above tests are not answered by propanone (being a ketone).
Iodoform (Haloform) Test: Propanone gives an yellow ppt, when treated with sodium
hypoiodite or I2 in presence of NaOH. Propanal does not give this test.
[Only one test or the corresponding chemical equation is required]
22. Analgesics are pain killers. They reduce or abolish pain without causing impairment 1
of consciousness, mental confusion etc. E.g. aspirin, paracetamol, morphine, heroin,
codeine etc.
Antibiotics are anti-microbial drugs. They are substances produced wholly or
2
partially by chemical synthesis, which in low concentrations inhibit the growth or
destroys micro organisms by intervening in their metabolic processes. E.g. Pencillin, 1
Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol, Vancomycin, Ampicillin, Amoxycillin
etc. [Examples not necessary]
Answer any seven questions from 23 to 31. Each carries 3 scores.
23. a) No. 1
This mixture shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law.

b)

24. a) The Arrhenius equation is k = A.e-Ea/RT 1

Or, logk = logA – Ea/2.303RT

b) We know that, log k2/k1 = Ea [T2 - T1] 1

2.303 R T1.T2
Here T1 = 300K, T2 = 300 + 10 =310 K, and R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1
Suppose k1 = x, then k2 = 2x 3
Then,

25. a) Electrophoresis is the movement of colloidal particles (sol particles) under the influence 1
of an electric field.
b) Hardy – Schulze rule. 1 3
The rule states that the greater the valency of the coagulating ion, the greater will be the 1
coagulating power.
26. Potassium dichromate is generally prepared from chromite ore (FeCr2O4). The
preparation involves three steps.
1. Conversion of chromite ore to sodium chromate
Chromite ore is first fused with sodium carbonate in presence of air to form
sodium chromate.
4 FeCr2O4 + 8 Na2CO3 + 7 O2 → 8 Na2CrO4 + 2 Fe2O3 + 8 CO2
2. Acidification of sodium chromate to sodium dichromate
The yellow solution of sodium chromate is filtered and acidified with sulphuric 3 3
acid to orange sodium dichromate.
2Na2CrO4 + 2 H+ → Na2Cr2O7 + 2 Na+ + H2O
3. Conversion of sodium dichromate to potassium dichromate
The solution of sodium dichromate is treated with potassium chloride
so that orange crystals of potassium dichromate crystallise out.
Na2Cr2O7 + 2 KCl → K2Cr2O7 + 2 NaCl
(Equations are not necessary) [Each step carries 1 score]
27. a) Diamminedichloridoplatinum(II) 1

b)

(1 score for each structure)

28. a) 2-pentene Or Pent-2-ene (CH3-CH2-CH2-CH=CH2) 1 3
b) Zaitsev (Saytzeff) rule. 1
The rule states that “in dehydrohalogenation reactions, if there is possibility of formation of
more than one alkene, the major product is that alkene which contains greater number of 1
alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms.”

of 373 to 415 K.

31. a) Fibrous proteins have fibre- like structure. Here the linear polypeptide chains are held 1 3
together by H-bond and disulphide bond. They are generally insoluble in water.
E.g. Keratin and myosin.
While in globular proteins the polypeptides chains are coiled around to give a spherical 1
shape. These are usually soluble in water. E.g. Insulin and albumins.

b) ∆rG0 = – nFE0cell
Here n = 2, F= 96500 C and E0cell = 1.1 V 2

OR,

34. a) Lucas Test: Tertiary alcohols react with Lucas reagent and form immediate turbidity.
