SECTION A

The following questions are multiple-choice questions with one correct answer.
Each question carries 1 mark. There is no internal choice in this section.

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion

and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one

(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Q.1. Assertion: Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with temperature.
Reason : The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature.

Q.2. Assertion: If a liquid solute more volatile than the solvent is added to the
solvent, the vapour pressure of the solution may increase i.e., p s > po.
Reason: In the presence of a more volatile liquid solute, only the solute will form
the vapours and solvent will not.

SECTION D

The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an

internal choice and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully
and answer the questions that follow.

31 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical changes like
change in temperature or chemical changes like change in pH, the
hydrogenbonds are disturbed. Due to this, globules unfold and helix get
uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is called denaturation of
protein.The denaturation causes change in secondary and tertiary structures
but primary structures remains intact. Examples of denaturation of protein
are coagulation of egg white on boiling, curdling of milk, formation of cheese
when an acid is added to milk.
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most
appropriate answer:
1 Mark the wrong statement about denaturation of proteins
a) The primary structure of the protein does not change (b) Globular proteins
are converted into fibrous proteins.
(c) Fibrous proteins are converted into globular proteins.
(d) The biological activity of the protein is destroyed

2. Which structure(s) of proteins remains(s) intact during denaturation process?

(a)Both secondary and tertiary structures

(b) Primary structure only
(c)Secondary structure only
(d)Tertiary structure only
3) Secondary structure of protein refers to
(a) mainly denatured proteins and structure of prosthetic groups
(b) three-dimensional structure, especially the bond between amino acid residues
that are distant from each other in the polypeptide chain
(c) linear sequence of amino acid residues in the polypeptide chain
(d) regular folding patterns of continuous portions of the polypeptide chain
4) Cheese is a
(a) globular protein
(b) conjugated protein
(c) denatured protein
(d) derived protein

Q.32 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :
The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of reactant to
decrease by half, i.e.,

[A]t=12[A][A]t=12[A] 
For first order reaction,
t1/2=0.693kt1/2=0.693k  this means t1/2 is independent of initial concentration.
Figure shows that typical variation of concentration of reactant exhibiting first order
kinetics. It may be noted that though the major portion of the first order kinetics
may be over in a finite time, but the reaction will never cease as the concentration
of reactant will be zero only at infinite time

of reactant is 0.080 M, what is the half life of reaction?
(a) 990 s
b) 79.2 s
c) 12375 s
d) 10.10 x 10-4 s
(iii) The rate of a first order reaction is 0.04 mol L-1 s-1 at 10 minutes and 0.03 mol L-
