Class 11 - Chemistry
Term-2 Sample Paper-01

Solution

Section A
1. According to Boyle’s Law p1V1 = p2V2
If p1 is 1 bar, V1 will be 2.27 L

If p2 = 0.2 bar, then V2 =

V2 = = 11.35 L
Since the balloon bursts at 0.2 bar pressure, the volume of a balloon should be less than 11.35 L.

2. pH = -log[H+] = 2.4202 = 2.42

3. i. When magnesium reacts with CO2; MgO is formed :

ii. When magnesium reacts with SO2; MgO is formed:

Section B
4. According to the question, Ksp of PbCl2 = 3.2 10-8.
atomic mass of Pb = 207u.
Amount of lead given = 0.1 g.
Let solubility of PbCl2 in water is s mol L-1.
Reaction:
PbCl2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

Now, Ksp = [Pb2+].[Cl-]2

Ksp = [s] [2s]2 = 4s3

3.2 10-8 = 4s3

s3 =
So, Solubility of PbCl2, s = 2 10-3 mol L-1
Molar mass of PbCl2 = 207 + (2 35.5) = 278

So, Solubility of PbCl2 in g L-1 = 278 2 10-3 = 0.556 g L-1

0.556 g of PbCl2 dissolve in = 1 L water

. 0.1 g of PbCl2 will dissolve in = water

= 0.1798 L water
= 179.8 mL water

NH3 + H2O + OH–

The ionization constant of NH3,
Kb = antilog (–pKb) i.e.

Kb = [ ][OH–] / [NH3]

= (0.20 + x)(x)/(0.1 – x) = 1.77 10–5

As Kb is small, we can neglect x in comparison to 0.1M and 0.2M. Thus,

[OH–] = x = 0.88 10–5

Therefore, [H+] = 1.12 10–9
pH = – log[H+] = 8.95.
5. i. At low pressure, the real gas shows a very small deviation from ideal behavior because the two
curves almost coincide at low pressure.
ii. At high pressure, the real gas shows large deviations from ideal behavior as the curves are far
apart.
iii. At point 'A', both the curves intersect each other. At this point, real gas behaves as an ideal gas.
P1 and V1 are the pressure and volume which corresponds to this point A.

OR

As Initial pressure P1 = Final pressure P​2 and Initial volume V1 = Final volume V​2, Initial temperature T

1=95°C, Final temperature T​2=17°C

P1V2 = P2V2 and hence n1RT1 = n2​RT​2

n1T1 = n2T2

or
Where w​1​=mass of gas 1=2.9 g, w​2=mass of hydrogen=0.184 g, molar mass of gas 1=M​1​, molar mass of
hydrogen=2 g/mol
or

6. According to the question, n = 1, Initial volume = V1, final volume = 10 V1, W = 10 kJ, p = 1 107 Pa.

T = 522.3 K
For initial conditions,

= 434.2 cm3
ii. If there were 2 moles of the gas, applying p1V1 = n1RT, we get

7. B turns milky on passing CO2, it is lime water Ca(OH)2 and compound C which gives milky appearance
is CaCO3. On passing excess of CO2 milkiness disappears due to the formation of compound D that is
Ca(HCO3)2. Compound A reacts with water and gives B. It is CaO. The reactions are as follows:
CaO(A) + H2 O Ca(OH)2(B) lime water
Ca(OH)2(B) + CO2 CaCO3(C) calcium carbonate + H2O
Ca(OH)2(B) + CO2 + H2O Ca(HCO3)2(D) calcium bicarbonate. D is soluble in water hence milkiness
disappeared.
8. Let VA be the total volume of gaseous reactants,
VB be the total volume of gaseous product.
Let nA be the number of moles of the reactant,
nB be the number of moles of the product,
At constant pressure and temperature,

pVB - pVA = (nB - nA) RT

p
Here, is equal to the difference between the number of moles of gaseous products
and gaseous reactants.
We know that,

Now, = qp(heat change under constant pressure),

U = qv(heat change under constant volume).
Therefore,
9. a. TICl is more stable than TlCl3 because moving down the group lower oxidation state is more stable
due to the inert pair effect restricting the participation of ns in bonding.
b. AlCl3 is more stable because it does not show the inert pair effect. It is a covalent compound and
acts as a Lewis acid.
c. InCl is more stable due to the inert pair effect and the lower oxidation state +1 is more stable. It
shows both the oxidation states +3 and +1.

OR

i. Pb is more stable in + 2 oxidation state than in + 4 oxidation state due to the inert pair effect.

Therefore, lead (II) chloride does not react with Cl2 to give lead (IV) chloride.
ii. Lead (IV) chloride on heating decomposes to give lead (II) chloride and Cl2 because lead is more
stable in + 2 oxidation state than in + 4 oxidation state due to the inert pair effect.
PbCl4(l) PbCl2(s) + Cl2(g)

iii. Due to the strong oxidising power of Pb4+ ion and reducing power of I- ion, PbI4, does not exist.
10. The given organic compound is:

This compound has 9 primary hydrogen atoms, 2 secondary hydrogen atoms and one tertiary hydrogen
atom.
Now, Relative amount of monochlorinated product = Number of hydrogen relative reactivity
For (1°) monochlorinated product = 9 1 = 9
(2°) monochlorinated product = 2 3.8 = 7.6
(3°) monochlorinated product = 1 5 = 5
Total amount of monochlorinated compounds = 9 + 7.6 + 5 = 21.6
% of 1° monochlorinated product = = 41.67
% of 2° monochlorinated product = = 35.18
% of 3° monochlorinated product = = 23.15

11. i. Due to the presence of line pair of electrons on the central atom both NH3 and PH3 are Lewis Bases.
When NH3 or PH3 accepts a proton, an additional N-H or P - H bond is formed.

Due to smaller size of N than P, N - H bond thus formed is much stronger than P-H bond. As a result
NH3 has more tendency than PH3 to accept a proton. Therefore, NH3 is stronger base than PH3.
ii. Sulphur has a stronger tendency for catenation than oxygen because of stronger S - S bonds as
compared to O - O bonds.
iii. Due to smaller size, the lone pairs of electrons on the F - atom repel the bond pair of the F - F bond
as compared the larger size of Cl atoms the lone pairs of Cl do not repel the bond pair of Cl - Cl
bond. Hence F - F bond energy is lower than that of Cl - Cl bond energy.
