19) Ans: (i) It is due to —I effect of halogens, it deactivates benzene ring towards electrophilic 2
substitution reactions.
(ii) CHCl3is slowly oxidised by air in presence of light to form an extremely poisonous gas,
carbonyl chloride, popularly known as phosgene. Equation.
20) Ans: i) Due to osmosis water molecules move into blood cell through the cell wall and as a 2
result the blood cell swell and may even burst.
ii) When a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side the pure
solvent flows out of the solution through semipermeable membfrane
21) Answer: r = K[A]1[B]2 (i) When concentration of B increases to 3 times, the rate of reaction 2
becomes 9 times r = KA(3B)2 ∴ r = 9KAB2 = 9 times
(ii) r = K(2A)(2B)2 ∴ r = 8KAB2 = 8 times
SECTION C
This section contains 7 questions with internal choice in one question. The following questions
are short answer type and carry 3 marks each.
22) Ans: i. It is the elevation in boiling point when 1 mole of solute is dissolved in 1 kg of solvent. 3
ii. vapour pressure decreases
iii. At a given pressure, the solubility of oxygen in water increases with decrease in
temperature. Presence of more oxygen at lower temperature makes the aquatic species more
comfortable in water.
23) Ans: a) (i) Those reactions which are not truly of the first order but under certain conditions 3
become first order reactions are called pseudo first order reaction.
(ii)It is the rate of chemical reaction when concentration of each reactant is unity in the rate law
expression.
b) (i) It is zero order reaction. (ii) Slope of the curve = -K

26) Ans: 3
a) The amount of chemical deposition occurring at any electrode by passing current is directly
proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte (in solution or in
molten state)
b) Q= I t = 0.5 x 2 x 60 x 60 = 3600 C
96500 C = 6.023 x 1023 electrons
So, 3600 C = 2.25 x 1022 electrons
27) Ans: i. It is due to the repulsion between the unshared electron pairs of oxygen. 3
ii. It is due to the presence of unshared electron pairs on oxygen, which makes them proton
acceptors.
iii. In substituted phenols, the presence of electron withdrawing groups such as nitro group
enhances the acidic strength of phenol. This effect is more pronounced when such a group is
present at ortho and para positions. It is due to the effective delocalization of negative charge in
phenoxide ion when substituent is at ortho or para position. On the other hand, electron
releasing groups, such as alkyl groups, in general, do not favour the formation of phenoxide ion
resulting in decrease in acid strength.

32) Ans:A)This is because transition metals have strong metallic bonds as they have large number 5
of unpaired electrons.
B) On adding NaOH, pH of solution increases and the orange colour of the solution
changes to yellow due to interconversion of dichromate ion to chromate ion.

Ans: A) At Anode: Pb + SO4 -2 → PbSO4 + 2e- at Cathode: PbO2 + SO4 -2 + 4H+ + 2e- → PbSO4
+ 2H2O On charging the battery, the reaction is reversed and PbSO4 on anode and cathode is
converted into Pb and PbO2 respectively
B) Presence of CO2 in natural water increases rusting of iron. It dissolves in water to form
H2CO3 which gives H+ ions. The H+ ions accelerate the process of corrosion. In rusting of iron,
Fe oxidises to Fe2+ ions Fe (s) → Fe2+ (aq) + 2e– (anode). The released electrons go to the
cathode and reduce oxygen in the presence of H+ ions (obtained from H2CO3). The reaction
occurs at cathode. Thus, CO2 increases rusting. O2 (g) + 4H+ (aq) + 4e– → 2H2O (l)
