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:
29 When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration, 4
then it is called non-ideal solution. The vapour pressure of such a solution is either
higher or lower than that predicted by Raoult’s law. If it is higher, the solution exhibits
positive deviation and if it is lower, it exhibits negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
The osmotic pressure of a solution is the excess pressure that must be applied to a
solution to prevent osmosis, i.e., to stop the passage of solvent molecules through a
Semipermeable membrane into the solution. Osmotic pressure is colligative property
as it depends on the number of solute molecules and not on their identity. For dilute
solutions, it has been found experimentally that osmotic pressure is proportional to the
molarity, C of the Solution at a given temperature T. Thus: Π = C R T. Here Π is the
osmotic pressure and R is the gas constant. Π=(n2/V)RT
a) Define ideal solution.
b) What kind of deviation is found in solution of alcohol in water?
c) 200 cm3of an aqueous solution of a protein contains1.26g of the
protein.The osmotic pressure of such a solution at 300 K is found to be
2.57×10-3 bar. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.
OR
Why Osmotic Pressure is used to measure the molar mass of biomolecules?
30 The carbohydrates may also be classified as either reducing or nonreducing sugars. All 4
those carbohydrates which reduce Fehling’s solution and Tollens’ reagent are referred to
as reducing sugars. All monosaccharides whether aldose or ketose are reducing sugars.
Fructose also has the molecular formula C6H12O6 and on the basis of its reactions itwas
found to contain a ketonic functional group at carbon number 2 and six carbons in
straight chain as in the case of glucose. It belongs to D- series and is a laevo rotatory
compound. It is appropriately written as D-(–)-fructose.
Poly saccharides contain a large number of mono saccharide units joined together by
glycosidic linkages. These are the most commonly encountered carbohydrates in nature.
They mainly act as the food storage or structural materials. Protein found in a biological
system with a unique 3D structure and biological activity is called a native protein.
When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical change like change in
temperature or chemical change like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed.
a) Sucrose cannot reduce the Tollen’s reagent. Why?
b) The optical activity of sucrose is changed from dextro to leavo after some
time. Explain it.
c) What is denaturation of protein and which structure of protein remains
intact during denaturation?

SECTION D
29. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: 4
Valence bond theory considers the bonding between the metal ion and the ligands as
purely covalent. On the other hand, crystal field theory considers the metal-ligand
bond to be ionic arising from electrostatic interaction between the metal ion and the
ligands. In coordination compounds, the interaction between the ligand and the metal
ion causes the five d-orbitals to split-up. This is called crystal field splitting and the
energy difference between the two sets of energy level is called crystal field splitting
energy. The crystal field splitting energy (∆o) depends upon the nature of the ligand.
The actual configuration of complexes is divided by the relative values of ∆o and P
(pairing energy). If ∆o < P, then complex will be high spin. If ∆o > P, then complex
will be low spin.

30. The lead-acid battery represents the oldest rechargeable battery technology. Lead acid 4
batteries can be found in a wide variety of applications including small-scale power
storage such as UPS systems, ignition power sources for automobiles, along with large,
grid-scale power systems. The spongy lead act as the anode and lead dioxide as the
cathode. Aqueous sulphuric acid is used as an electrolyte.
There is no safe way of disposal and these batteries end - up in landfills. Lead and
sulphuric acid are extremely hazardous and pollute soil, water as well as air.
Irrespective of the environmental challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have
remained an important source of energy.
Designing green and sustainable battery systems as alternatives to conventional means
remains relevant. Fuel cells are seen as the future source of energy. Hydrogen is
considered a green fuel. Problem with fuel cells at present is the storage of hydrogen.
Currently, ammonia and methanol are being used as a source of hydrogen for fuel cell.
These are obtained industrially, so add to the environmental issues. If the problem of
storage of hydrogen is overcome, is it still a “green fuel?” Despite being the most
abundant element in the Universe, hydrogen does not exist on its own so needs to be
extracted from the water using electrolysis or separated from carbon fossil fuels. Both
of these processes require a significant amount of energy which is currently more than
that gained from the hydrogen itself. In addition, this extraction typically requires the
use of fossilfuels. More research is being conducted in this field to solve these
problems. Despite the problem of no good means to extract Hydrogen, it is a uniquely
abundant and renewable source of energy, perfect for our future zero-carbon needs.
Answer the following questions:
a. How many coulombs have been transferred from anode to cathode in order to
consume one mole of sulphuric acid during the discharging of lead storage cell?
b. How much work can be extracted by using lead storage cell if each cell delivers
about 0 V of voltage? (1 F = 96500 C)
c. Do you agree with the statement – “Hydrogen is a green fuel.” Give your
comments for andagainst this statementand justify your views.
OR
Imagine you are a member of an agency funding scientific research. Which of
the followingprojects will you fund and why?

samplelabeled “P” froze at 0 oC while the other “Q” at -1.3oC. Ibrahim forgot which of
the two, “P” or“Q” was ocean water. Help him identify which container contains
ocean water, giving rationalization for your answer.

byproduct. There are no carbon emissions and no pollutions caused.
However, at present the means to obtain hydrogen are electrolysis of water which use
electricity obtained from fossil fuels and increase carbon emissions.

SECTION D
The following questions are case-based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the
questions that follow. Each question carries 4 marks.
29. The standard electrode potentials are very important and we can extract a lot of useful information from
them. If the standard electrode potential of an electrode is greater than Zero then it’s reduced form is
more stable compared to hydrogen gas. Similarly, if the standard electrode potential is negative than
hydrogen gas is more stable than the reduced form of the species. It can be seen that the standard
electrode potential for Fluorine is the highest indicating that F2 gas has the maximum tendency to get
reduced to Fluoride ion F- and therefore Fluorine gas is the strongest oxidizing agent and Fluoride ion is
the weakest reducing agent.
(i) Which element can act as the strongest reducing agent? [1]
(ii) Write the charge of anode and cathode in galvanic cell? [1]
iii) Find out E°Cell for Zn/Zn2+(0.1M)//Cu2+(0.10M)/Cu [2]

30. The transition elements have incompletely filled d-subshells in their ground state or in any of their
oxidation states. The transition elements occupy position in between s- and p-blocks in groups 3-12 of
the Periodic table. Starting from fourth period, transition elements consists of
four complete series : Sc to Zn, Y to Cd and La, Hf to Hg and Ac, Rf to Cn. In general, the electronic
configuration of outer orbitals of these elements is (n - 1) d1-10 ns1-2. The electronic configurations of
outer orbitals of Zn, Cd, Hg and Cn are represented by the general formula (n - 1)d10 n2
. All the transition elements have typical metallic properties such as high tensile strength, ductility,
malleability. Except mercury, which is liquid at room temperature, other transition elements have typical
metallic structures. The transition metals and their compounds also exhibit catalytic property and
paramagnetic behaviour. Transition metal also forms alloys. An alloy is a blend of metals prepared by
mixing the components. Alloys may be homogeneous solid solutions in which the atoms of one metal are
distributed randomly among the atoms of the other.

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.
29 Benzene ring in aniline is highly activated. This is due to the sharing of lone pair of 1+1+2
nitrogen with the ring which results in increase in the electron density on the ring and
hence facilitates the electrophilic attack. The substitution mainly takes place at Ortho and
para positions because electron density is more at Ortho and para positions. On reaction
with aqueous bromine all the ortho and para position get substituted resulting in the
formation of 2,4,6- tribromoaniline. To get a monobromo compound, the amino group is
acetylated before bromination. After bromination, the bromoacetanilide is acid
hydrolysed to give the desired halogenated amine.

positions.

a) (i) The catalytic properties of the transition elements are due to the presence of unpaired electrons in
their incomplete d- orbitals and variable oxidation states. The colour of transition metal ions is due to
d-d transition. When electrons jump from one orbital to another in their partially filled d-orbitals,
another light is emitted due to which the compounds of transition elements seem to be coloured

rate equation of the reaction.
(ii) Molecularity of a reaction :
● It is the total number of reacting species (molecules, atoms or ions) which bring the
chemical change.
● It is always a whole number.
● It is a theoretical concept.
● It is meaningful only for simple reactions or individual steps of a complex reaction. It is
meaningless for overall complex reaction.
(b) Given : T1 = 300 K T2 = 320 K

K1 = K (Consider)
K2 = 4 K R = 8.314 Ea = ?
Substituting these values in the formulae,
Energy of activation, Ea = 55327.46 = 55.3 KJ mol-1
(a) (i) Differential rate equation :
dx/dt= K [A]2[B]

CrCl3.6H2O + AgNO3 → [Cr(H2O5)Cl]Cl2. H2O
(ii) Pentaaquachloridochromium (III) chloride monohydrate
(ii) Linkage isomerism: When more than one atom in an ambidentate ligand is linked with central metal
ion to form two types of complexes, then the formed isomers are called linkage isomers and the
phenomenon is called linkage isomerism.
[Cr(H2O)5(NCS)]2+ Pentaaquathiocyanate chromium (III) ion
[Cr(H2O)5(NCS)]2+
Pentaaquaisothiocyanate chromium (III) ion
(iii) Ambidentate ligand: The monodentate ligands with more than one coordinating atoms is known as
ambidentate ligand. Monodentate ligands have only one atom capable of binding to a central metal
atom or ion. For example, the nitrate ion NO2– can bind to the central metal atom/ion at either the
nitrogen atom or one of the oxygen atoms.
Example : — SCN thiocyanate, — NCS isothiocyanate
33 i) Reimer-Tiemann reaction : Treatment of phenol with CHCl3 in presence of aqueous NaOH at 340K
followed by hydrolysis gives salicylaldehyde.
ii) Friedel-Crafts reaction : This reaction is used for introducing an alkyl or an acyl group into an
aromatic compound in presence of Lewis acid catalyst (AlCl3)
Example:
i) Phenol to benzoquinone
i) Propene to propan-2-ol
(i) Due to presence of intermolecular H-bonding, associated molecules are formed, hence ethanol has
high boiling point while methoxymethane does not have intermolecular H-bonding.
(ii) Phenol on losing H+ ion forms phenoxide ion, and ethanol on losing H+ ion forms ethoxide ion.
Phenoxide ion is more stable than ethoxide ion as phenoxide ion exists in resonance structure. Due to
this phenol is more acidic than ethanol.
(iii) Both o- and p-nitrophenols contain the NO2 group which is an electron withdrawing group. Due to
-R and -I effect of the -NO2 group, electron density in the OH bond of substituted phenol decreases and
hence the loss of proton becomes easy and therefore more acidic.

Page 5 of 8
29. Chemical kinetics deals with rate of chemical reactions, how fast reactants
get used up or how fast products are formed in the reaction. Differed
chemical reactions have different speed. Rate of reaction depends upon
concentration of reactants, temperature, pressure especially in gaseous
reactions and presence of catalyst. Chemical reaction takes place as a
result of collision between reacting molecules. The rate of reaction does
not depend upon total number of collisions rather it depends upon number
of effective collisions. In a redox reaction, if E°cell is +ve, ∆G° will be –
ve and ‘K’ equilibrium constant will be high i.e. products formed will be
more than the reactants.

activities of living organisms. Carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids,
lipids and other complex biomolecules make up living systems.
Carbohydrates are biomolecules primarily produced by plants and form a

29. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The mercury cell, also called “mercury battery, mercury oxide battery”, is a primary cell,
which is a non-rechargeable, non-reusable electrochemical battery. During and after the 2nd
World War, mercury batteries were the most powerful power source for many small
portable electronic devices like calculators, watches, hearing aids, digital thermometers,
toys in the shape of a button or coin and large appliances like walkie-talkies. However, Bill
Clinton, the former President of the United States, signed into law “The Battery Act” on
May 13, 1996. The main object of the law was to reduce toxic and heavy metals in the
environment like groundwater, stream and municipal waste. Due to this act, the popularity
of the mercury battery got reduced.

30. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The human eye perceives a mixture of all the colours, in the proportions present in sunlight,
as white light. Complementary colours, those located across from each other on a colour
wheel, are also used in colour vision. The eye perceives a mixture of two complementary
colours, in the proper proportions, as white light. Likewise, when a colour is missing from
white light, the eye sees its complement. For example, when red photons are absorbed from
white light, the eyes see the colour green. When violet photons are removed from white
light, the eyes see lemon yellow (Figure is given below).
The blue color of the [Cu(NH3)4]2+ion results because this ion absorbs orange and red light,
leaving the complementary colors of blue and green. If white light (ordinary sunlight, for
example) passes through [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 solution, some wavelengths in the light are
absorbed by the solution. The [Cu(NH3)4]2+ ions in solution absorb light in the red region of
the spectrum. The light which passes through the solution and out the other side will have
all the colors in it except for the red. We see this mixture of wavelengths as pale blue
(cyan). The diagram gives an impression of what happens if you pass white light through
a [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 solution. 1

SECTION – C
22. Structure elucidation steps: 3

(i) Molecular formula : C8H8O
(ii) Since it gives orange red ppt with 2, 4-DNP reagent Therefore it must be either aldehyde or
a ketone.
(iii) Since, it does not reduce Tollen’s reagent nor Fehling’s reagent, solution ‘A’ must be a
ketone,
(iv) ‘A’ on treatment with I2/NaOH gives yellow ppt , it must have ketomethyl group in it.
v) It does not decolorise Br2 water or Baeyer’s reagent so the unsaturation of ‘A’ is due to
benzene ring.
Structure of the compound must be
Name is Acetophenone.
23. a) Tetraammineaquachloridocobalt(III) chloride 1
b) Since ethylenediaamine(en) is a chelating ligand, [Co(en)3]3+ is more stable. ½ *2
c) For both cases magnetic moment is zero as both are L.S. complex. 1
24. a) The SN1 reactions proceed through the formation of carbocations. In the case of optically 2
active alkyl halides, the product formed is a racemic mixture. This is because the intermediate
carbocation is planar species, therefore, the attack of the nucleophile, OFT ion can take place
from both the faces (front and rear) with equal ease. As a result, a 50: 50 mixture of the two
enantiomers (laevo and dextro) is formed. Thus, the product formed is a racemic mixture (±)
which is optically inactive.
b) As we know rate of SN1 is proportional with the stability of carbocations, here the stability of
carbocations is as follows:
1
PhCH2+ > (CH3)3C+ > (CH3)2CH+ > CH3+
hence, the rate of SN1 will be as follows:
benzyl iodide>tertiary butyl iodide>isopropyl iodide>methyl iodide.

= λCH3COO– + λ°Na+ + λ°H+ + λ°cl– – λ°Na+ – λ°cl–
∧°(CH3COOH+) = ∧°(CH3COONa) + ∧° (H+Cl) – ∧° (NaCl)
∧°(CH3COONa) = 91.0 S cm2 mol-1
∧°(H+Cl) = 425.9 S cm2 mol-1
∧°(NaCl) = 126.4 S cm2 mol-1

3
ii.
OR,
i. Solutions having vapour pressures more than that expected from Raoult’s law are said to
exhibit positive deviation. In these solutions solvent – solute interactions are weaker and ∆solH is
positive because stronger A – A or B – B interactions are replaced by weaker A – B interactions.
Breaking of the stronger interactions requires more energy & less energy is released on 1+1
formation of weaker interactions. So overall ∆sol H is positive. Similarly ∆solV is positive i.e. the
volume of solution is some what more than sum of volumes of solvent and solute.
So there is expansion in volume on solution formation.
Similarly in case of solutions exhibiting negative deviations, A – B interactions are stronger than
A-A&B-B. So weaker interactions are replaced by stronger interactions so , there is release of
energy i.e. ∆sol H is negative.

the questions that follow.
29 Read the following paragraph and answer the given questions:
Zero order system provide an interesting opportunity for students to think about the
underlying mechanism behind the physical phenomenon being modelled. The work reported
here is part of a larger study that seeks to characterize how students
integrate chemistry and mathematics in the context of chemical kinetics. Thirty-six general
chemistry students, five physical students and three chemical engineering
students were asked to think a loud as they responded to an interview prompt about the half-
life of catalyst –driven zero-order reaction. Our findings revealed that students often
described zero-order in mathematical terms (i.e. the zero- order rate law, integrated rate law
and graphical representation), but lacked a clear
understanding of the particulate nature of zero-order system. 1

30 Read the following paragraph and answer the given questions:
The d-block metals are central within the periodic table and are at the core of numerous
branches of inorganic chemistry, including material chemistry, applied biological and
analytical sciences, and catalysis. The term transition metal is still much used but this strictly
excludes the group 10 metals (Zn, Cd and Hg) since IUPAC defines a transition metal as an
element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell, or which can give rise to cation with an
incomplete d sub-shell. The traditional picture of the d-block is often triads or three rows of
metallic elements. The fourth row ( Ac, Rf-Cn) is often ignored by those us who teach
inorganic chemistry courses, largely because of the elements from Rutherfordium( Rf, Z=104)
onwards.

27 (i) In aniline due to resonance, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom 1
are delocalised over the benzene ring. Due to this, electron density on
the nitrogen decreases. On the other hand, in CH3NH2, +I-effect of CH3
increases the electron density on the N-atom. Consequently aniline is a
weaker base than methylamine and hence its pKb value is higher than
that of methylamine. 1

i). Carboxylic acid on dissociation form carboxylate ion which is stabilized by two
equivalent resonance structure in which negative charge is at the more
electronegative oxygen atom, whereas the conjugate base of phenol, phenoxide 1
ion, has non – equivalent resonance structures in which negative charge is at the
less electronegative carbon atom. Therefore, resonance is not as important as it is
in carboxylate ion. Moreover, the negative charge is delocalized over two more
electronegative oxygen atoms in carboxylate ion whereas it is less effectively
delocalized over one oxygen atom and one carbon atom in phenoxide ion.
Therefore, the carboxylate ion is more stabilized than phenoxide ion and
carboxylic acids are stronger acids than phenol.

ethyl chloride cannot. Therefore, ethanol is soluble in water and ethyl chloride is

30 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: 4
Ketones may be prepared by the oxidation of secondary alcohols in the

presence of acid dichromate. The reaction probably proceeds via the rate
limiting formation of a chromate ester followed by decomposition of the ester
to give the products. In case of primary alcohol, this process may lead to
oxidation of the alcohol to carboxylic acid. This problem is overcome by
attenuating the oxidizing power of chromic acid based reagents to generate a
milder oxidizing agent. The two most popular oxidizing agents for oxidizing
primary alcohols to aldehydes are pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) and
pyridinium dichromate (PDC).These reagents are prepared by the treatment of
chromic acid with pyridine. The ketones may also be generated from the
secondary alcohols using aluminium t- butoxide in the presence of acetone.
The secondary alcohol is refluxed with the reagent in an excess of acetone.
This reagent is particularly helpful in oxidation of Unsaturated alcohol as only
the alcoholic OH is oxidized.
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most
appropriate answer:

Denaturation of proteins :-
When proteins are subjected to a change in pH, temperature, etc, the hydrogen bonds are
disturbed due to which the secondary and tertiary structures breakdown but primary structure
remains the same and hence protein loses its biological activity. This is known as denaturation,
e.g. coagulation of egg white on boiling, curdling of milk, etc.
SECTION C
22 The reactions can be represented at anode and at cathode in the following ways : 3
At anode (oxidation) :
Sn2+ → Sn4+ (aq) + 2e– ] × 5 E° = + 0.15 V
Af cathode (reduction) :
MnO–4(aq) + 8H+ (aq) + 5e– → Mn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (I)] × 2 E° = + 1.51 V
The Net R × M = 2MnO–4(aq) + 16H+ + 5Sn2+ → 2Mn2+ + 5Sn4+ + 8H2O
Now E°cell = E°cathode – E°anode
= 1.51 – 0.15 = + 1.36 V
∴ Positive value of E°cell favours formation of product.

27 (i) Because nitration is carried out in an acidic medium. In an acidic medium, aniline is 1+1+1
to give anilinium ion which is meta-directing
(ii) Friedel-CraftreactioniscarriedoutinthepresenceofAlCl3.ButAlCl3actsasaLewis acid,while
aniline acts as a Lewis base. Thus, aniline reacts with AlCl3 to form a salt.

i)Specific rate of a reaction: When the molar concentration of each of the reactants is equal,
the rate of reaction is called the specific rate of reaction.
ii) Pseudo first-order reaction: A Pseudo first-order reaction can be defined as a second-order
or bimolecular reaction that is made to behave like a first-order reaction. This reaction occurs
when one reacting material is present in great excess or is maintained at a constant
concentration compared with the other substance.
(b) Slope = -Ea/2.303R = –6000
Ea = 6000 2.303 8.314
= 1.148 105J
= 27483.935Cal = 27.48 Kcal
OR
(i) With increase in temperature, the rate of the reaction and the rate constant increases. As a 1+1+3
generalization, the rate of the reaction (and the rate constant) becomes almost double for every
10o rise in temperature. This is also called temperature coefficient. It is the ratio of rate
constants of the reaction at two temperatures differing by10o.
Thus, Temperature coefficient = Rate constant at To C /Rate constant at (T+10oC)
(ii) The temperature effect on the rate constant can be represented quantitatively by Arrherius
equation k=Ae −Ea/RT
(iii) We have
Activation energy = 209.5 KJ/mol
Temperature= 581 K
R = 8.314 J/mol/K
Now, the fraction of molecules of reactants having energy equal to or greater than activation
energy is given as
x= e-Ea/RT
taking log both sides we get

log x = -Ea/(2.303RT)
log x = -209500/ (2.303 x 8.314 x 581)
log x = -18.832
x = antilog (-18.832) = antilog (-18.832 +19 -19) = antilog (0.1678-19) x = 1.471 x 10-19
32 a) Due to the presence of unpaired d- electrons. 1+1+1+1+1

b) Because of the large number of unpaired electrons in their atoms they have
stronger interatomic interaction and hence stronger bonding between atoms
resulting in higher enthalpies of atomization.
c) Due to unpaired d- electrons that undergo d-d transition.

d) Due to the presence of vacant orbitals or their tendency to form variable
oxidation states.
e) On the basis of incompletely filled 3d orbitals in the case of scandium in its
ground state (3d1), it is regarded as a transition element. On the other hand, zinc has
completely filled d orbitals (3d10) in its ground state as well as in its oxidized state;
hence it is not regarded as a transition element.
OR
a) Lanthanide contraction:
1+1+3
The steady decrease in atomic and ionic sizes of lanthanide elements with increasing
atomic number is called Lanthanide contraction.
Cause of Lanthanide contraction:
In the lanthanide series, as we move from one element to another, the nuclear charge
increases by one unit and one electron is added. The new electrons are added to the
same inner 4f- subshells. However, the shielding of one 4 f electron by another is less
than one d electron by another with the increase in nuclear charge along the series.
There is a regular decrease in the sizes with increasing atomic numbers.
b) Consequences of Lanthanide contraction:

1. Resemblance of second and third transition series: As a result of Lanthanide
contraction, the elements of second and third transition series resemble each other
much more than the elements of first and second transition series.
2. Similarities among lanthanoids: Because of very small change in radii of
lanthanoids, their chemical properties are quite similar. Thus, it is very difficult to
separate the elements in a pure state.
c. Similarities between lanthanoids and actinoids:
1. Both exhibits +3 oxidation state.

2. Both involve the filling of f-orbitals.
3. Both having same number of unpaired electrons have quite similar spectra. In the
absorption spectra of the elements of both the series, sharp lines like bands
appear due to f-f transition.
4. Both are electropositive and have high reactivity.

5. Like lanthanoids contraction, there is actinoids contraction. These contractions
are due to poor shielding of 5f and 4f electrons in lanthanoids and actinoids

respectively.
Differences between lanthanoids and actinoids:
33 a) 1+1+1+2
b) 2-bromo-2-methylbutane is most reactive towards β elimination reaction. This is because
tertiary alkyl halides on dehydrohalogenation form most substituted alkene.
c) Chloroethene
d) Enantiomers are a pair of molecules that exist in two forms that are mirror images of one
another but cannot be superimposed one upon the other.
OR
a) An ambident nucleophile is a nucleophile that can form new bonds at two or more spots in
its structure, usually due to resonance contributors. Example: S = C = N– can act as a
1+1+1+2
nucleophile with either the S or N attacking
b) Because the new forces of attraction set up between haloalkanes and solvent molecules are
of the same strength as the forces of attraction being broke
c) A mixture that contains the equal proportions of two enantiomers of a compound in equal
proportions is called a racemic mixture. Example: (±) butan-2-ol
d) Since the reactivity of SN1 reactions increases as the stability of intermediate carbocation
increases. Of the two 2° bromides, the carbocation intermediate derived from C6H-
CH(C6H5)Br i.e. C6H5CH+C6H5 is more stable as compared to the
carbocation C6H5CH+CH3 obtained from C6H5CH(CH3)Br because it is stabilized by two

phenyl groups due to resonance

questions that follow.
29. Werner, a Swiss chemist in 1892 prepared and characterized a large number of 4
coordination compounds and studied their physical and chemical behavior. He
proposed that, in coordination compounds, metals possess two types of
valencies, viz. primary; valencies, which are normally ionisable and secondary
valencies which are non-ionisable. In a series of compounds of cobalt (III)
chloride with ammonia, it was found that some of the chloride ions could be
precipitated as AgCI on adding excess AgNO3 solution in cold, but some
remained in solution. The number of ions furnished by a complex in a solution
can be determined by precipitation reactions. The measurement of molar
conductance of solutions of coordination compounds helps to estimate the
number of ions furnished by the compound in solution.

electrolytic are the two types of conductors. Current carriers in metallic and
electrolytic conductors are free electrons and free ions respectively. Specific
conductance or conductivity of the electrolyte solution is given by the relation:
Ƙ= c x l/A where c = 1/R is the conductance and l/A is the cell constant. Molar
conductance of strong electrolyte depends on concentration: Λm= Λm− b√c,Λm=

of the liquid at a constant temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the
gas present in equilibrium with the liquid.”
Mathematically m ∝ p 1/2
. m = kp 1/2
m = mass of the gas dissolved in a unit volume of the solvent
p = Pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the solvent 1/2

k = Constant called Henry’s Law constant. 1
Some important applications of Henry’s law :
1. To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drinks and soda-water, the bottle is sealed
under high pressure.
2. Deep sea divers use oxygen diluted with less soluble helium as breathing gas to
minimise the painful effects accompanying the decompression. ½
The limitations of Henry’s law are as follows:
1. The law is only valid when the molecules in the system are in equilibrium.
2. When the gases are under extremely high pressure, Henry’s Law does not apply. ½
3. This law also does not apply when the solution and gas are involved in a chemical
reaction with each other.
Substituting the given values kH = 1.6 x 103 atm.L.mol-1 and C = 2 x 10-5 M into the
½
Henry’s law formula:
½
P = kH x C = (1.6 x 103 atm.L.mol-1) x (2 x 10-5 mol.L-1) = 0.032 atm.

OR
(a) Negative Deviation is expected when phenol and aniline are mixed with each
other. The net volume of the mixture will decrease, ΔV<0 due to stronger
intermolecular interactions.
Relative lowering of vapour pressure = (P° – P) / P° = x2
x2 = n2/ n1
n2= 0.1
n1 = 100/18 = 0.1/ 5.55 +0.1 = 0.1/ 5.65 = 0.018
P° = 23.8 mm Hg
Relative lowering of vapour pressure:
(23.80 – P) / 23.80 = 0.018
23.80 - P = 0.428
P = 23.80 -0.428 = 23.37 mm Hg
32. (a) (i) Aniline is less basic as lone pair is in conjugation with benzene ring. So its K b is 1
less and pKb is more.
(ii) Aniline is protonated to form anilinium ion, which is meta directing.

A device used to convert the energy evolved in a redox reaction into electrical
energy is called an electrochemical cell. These devices are also called galvanic cells
or voltaic cells, after the names of Luigi Galvani (1780) and Alessandro Volta
(1800) who were the first to perform experiments on the conversion of chemical
energy into electrical energy.
How exactly the chemical energy of a redox reaction is converted into electrical
energy can be seen from the following example:
Redox reaction between Zn and CuSO4. The reaction is represented as:
Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
It may also be written in ionic form as: Zn + Cu2+ → Zn2+ + Cu
The reaction essentially comprises of two half reactions: one for reduction and the
other for oxidation.
Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
Cu2+(aq) + 2e-→ Cu(s)
Thus, Zn is oxidized to Zn2+ in the oxidation half reaction and Cu2+ is reduced to Cu
in the reduction half reaction. The overall reaction can be obtained by adding the
two half reactions.

b) Aniline reacts with chloroform in the presence of alcoholic potassium hydroxide.
32 (a) why do aquatic animal feel comfort in winter as compared to summer? 5
(b) The vapour pressure of solvent gets lowered, when a non- volatile solute is
added to it. Why?
(c) What is de-icing agent? How does it work?
(d) Why does sodium chloride solution freeze at a lower temperature than water?
(e)The molecular mass of a solute is 120 g/mol and Van’t Hoff factor is 4. What is
its abnormal molecular mass?

of water are held together by hydrogen bonds.
(iii) (iii) Grignard reagents are very reactive.
26 3
27 a) Nitro (NO2) group is electron withdrawing whereas methoxy (OCH3) group is 3

electron releasing in nature o-nitrophenol produces H+ ions easily but
methoxyphenol does not. This is because o-nitrophenoxide ion is stabilised due to
resonance. This is not true with o-methoxyphenoxide ion. The two negative charges
repel each other thereby destabilising it.
b)
c)
4|Page
28 a) Due to resonance the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen of acetanilide gets 3
delocalised towards carbonyl group. Hence the electrons are less available for
donation to benzene ring by resonance. Therefore, activation effect of aniline gets
reduced after acetylation.
b) In aniline lone pair present on nitrogen is in resonance with the benzene ring.
Hence due to delocalisation of lone pair present on nitrogen basicity of aniline
decreases.
c) Nitration is carried out in an acidic medium. In an acidic medium, aniline is
protonated to give anilinium ion (which is meta-directing).
SECTION D
29 (i) due to 4
(a) variable oxidation state.
(b) provides suitable surface area for the reactant molecule to adsorb on it.
(ii) because small sized atom such C.H, S etc. occupy the interstitial site.
(iii) because up to Cr the number of unpaired electrons increases and there after due to
pairing in d orbital the number of unpaired electron decreases. So magnetic character
decreases.
Or
Size of Lanthanoids ion decreases from La3+ to Lu3+, tendency to give hydroxyl ion
decreases so basic character decreases.
5|Page
30 (i) The conventional direction of current is taken from the positive terminal to the 4
negative terminal of the cell. The flow of electrons is from the negative terminal
To the positive terminal of the cell.
(ii) Methane and methanol can be used as fuels in fuel cells.
(iii) An electrochemical cell stops working after some time because the electrode
potential of both electrodes becomes equal.

32 Ans (a) As the solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature, so in summer 5
less oxygen is dissolved in water as compared to winter. That’s why the aquatic animals
feel comfort in winter as compared to summer..
Ans (b) When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the surface area for escape of
solvent
molecules decreases and vapour pressure gets lowered.
Ans (c) Common salt is called de-icing agent as it lowers the freezing point of water to
such an
6|Page
extent that it does not freeze to form ice. Thus, it is used to clear snow from roads.
Ans (d) When a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a solvent, the vapour pressure
decreases. As a result, the solvent freezes at a lower temperature.
Ans (e)Abnormal molecular mass = Normal Molar Mass/ van’t Hoff factor = 120/4 = 30
g/mol-1
33 a) due to unpaired electrons. 5
b) Because of large number of unpaired electrons in their atoms they have stronger
interatomic interaction and hence stronger bonding between atoms resulting in
higher enthalpies of atomization.
c) d-d transition
d) Due to the presence of vacant orbitals or their tendency to form variable oxidation
state.
e) On the basis of incompletely filled 3d orbitals in case of scandium atom in its
ground state (3d1 ), it is regarded as a transition element. On the other hand, zinc
atom has completely filled d orbitals (3d10) in its ground state as well as in its
oxidised state; hence it is not regarded as a transition element.
