(1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31 The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure is equal to atmospheric
pressure. We know that on the addition of a non-volatile liquid to a pure solvent, the vapour pressure of
a solution decrease. Therefore, to make vapour pressure equal to atmospheric pressure we have to
increase the temperature of the solution. The difference in the boiling point of the solution and the
boiling point of the pure solvent is termed as elevation in boiling point.
The freezing point of a substance is defined as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of its liquid
is equal to the vapour of the corresponding solid. According to Raoult’s law when a non-volatile solid is
added to the solvent its vapour pressure decreases and now it would become equal to that of solid
solvent at a lower temperature. The difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and its
solution is called depression in freezing point.

point?

IUPAC Nomenclature of Coordination Compounds
Rules For Naming Coordination Compound

The standard rules that must be followed in the nomenclature of coordination compounds are described
below.
When the coordination centre is bound to more than one ligand, the names of the ligands are written in
an alphabetical order which is not affected by the numerical prefixes that must be applied to the ligands:
di-, tri-, tetra-, and so on. The names of the anions present in a coordination compound must end with
the letter ‘o’, which generally replaces the letter ‘e’.After the ligands are named, the name of the central
metal atom is written. If the complex has an anionic charge associated with it, the suffix ‘-ate’ is
applied. When writing the name of the central metallic atom in an anionic complex, priority is given to
the Latin name of the metal if it exists (with the exception of mercury). The oxidation state of the
central metal atom/ion must be specified with the help of roman numerals that are enclosed in a set of
parentheses. If the coordination compound is accompanied by a counter ion, the cationic entity must be
written before the anionic entity.
Q1Write down the formula of : Tetraamineaquachloridocobalt(III) chloride .
Q2.What is the IUPAC name of the complex [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2?
Q3 When a co-ordination compound CrCl3.6H2O is mixed with AgNO3, 2 moles of AgCl are
precipitated per mole of the compound. Write
(i) Structural formula of the complex.
(ii) IUPAC name of the complex.
OR
Write oxidation no and coordination no of central metal of following compounds
i) K3[Al(C2O4)3]
(ii) [Co(Cl)2(en)2]+

Ideal Solution An ideal solution is a solution where the intermolecular interactions between
solute-solute (A-A) and solvent-solvent (B-B) are similar to the interaction between solute-
solvent (A-B). An ideal solution fulfils the following criteria: • It obeys Raoult’s law for all
the concentration and temperature ranges. Which states that the partial vapour pressure of
each component is proportional to the mole fraction of the component in a solution at a given
temperature. • The enthalpy of mixing is zero, i.e. ΔHmix = 0. It means that no heat is
absorbed or released. • The volume of mixing is zero, ΔVmix = 0. It means that the volume of
the solution is equal to the sum of the volume of components. The ideal solution is possible
with components of the same size and polarity. There is no association, dissociation or
reaction taking place between components. A perfect ideal solution is rare but some solutions
are near to the ideal solution. Examples are Benzene and toluene, hexane and heptane,
bromoethane and chloroethane, chlorobenzene and bromobenzene, etc. Non-ideal Solution
When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law for all the concentration and temperature ranges
it is known as a non-ideal solution. A non-ideal solution may show positive or negative
deviation from Raoult’s law. ΔHmix and ΔVmix for non-ideal solutions are not equal to zero. a)
Non-ideal solution showing positive deviation Here the total vapour pressure is higher than
that calculated from Raoult’s equation. The interaction between solute-solvent (A-B) is
weaker than those of pure components (A-A or B-B). The ΔHmix and ΔVmix are positive. E.g.
ethanol and acetone, carbon disulphide and acetone, acetone and benzene, etc. b) Non-ideal
solution showing negative deviation Here the total vapour pressure is lower than that
calculated from Raoult’s equation. The interaction between solute-solvent (A-B) is stronger
than those of pure components (A-A or B-B). The ΔHmix and ΔVmix are negative. E.g. phenol
and aniline, chloroform and acetone, etc.
(i). Give example of solution showing negative deviation

When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical changes like change in temperature
or chemical changes like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds 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

egg white on boiling, curding of milk, formation of cheese when an acid is added to
milk.

protein are milk, cheese,pulses,fish, meat, peanuts, etc. They are found in every part of
the body and form a fundamental basis of structure and functions of life. These are also
required for growth and maintenance of body. The word protein is derived from greek
word ‘proteios’ meaning ‘primary’ or ‘of prime importance’. Chemically, proteins are
the polymers in which the monomeric units are the α-amino acids. Amino acids contain
amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups. Depending upon the relative
position of amino group with respect to carboxyl group, the amino acids can be
classified as α, β, γ, δ Amino acids which are synthesized by the body are called non
essentials imno acid. On the other hand those amino acids which cannot be synthesized
in the human body and are supplied in the form of diet (because they are required for
proper health and growth ) are called essential amino acids.

Q-31- Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The constant k is the reaction rate constant or rate coefficient of the reaction. Its value may
depend on conditions such as temperature, ionic strength, surface area of an adsorbent, or light
irradiation.
The integrated rate equations can be fitted with kinetic data to determine the order of a reaction.
The integrated rate equations for zero, first and second order reactions are:
Zero order: [A] = - kt + [A]0
First order: log [A] = -kt/2.303 + log [A]0

Second order: 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]0
These equations can also be used to calculate the half-life periods of different reactions, which
give the time during which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its initial
concentration, i.e. at time t1/2; [A] = [A]0/2

SECTION D
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Proteins are the polymers of -amino acids and they are connected to each other by peptide
bond or peptide linkage. Chemically, peptide linkage is an amide formed between -COOH
group and -NH2 group. The reaction between two molecules of similar or different amino
acids , proceeds through the combination of the amino group of one molecule with the
carboxyl group of the other. This results in the elimination of a water molecule and
formation of a peptide bond -CO-NH -. The product of the reaction is called a dipeptide
because it is made up of two amino acids. For example, when carboxyl group of glycine
combines with the amino group of alanine we get a dipeptide, glycylalanine. If a third amino
acid combines to a dipeptide, the product is called a tripeptide. A tripeptide contains three
amino strengthening acids linked by two peptide linkages. Similarly, when four, five or six
amino acids are linked, the respective products are known as tetrapeptide, pentapeptide or
hexapeptide, respectively. When the number of such amino acids is more than ten, then the
products are called polypeptides. A polypeptide with more than hundred amino acid
residues, having molecular mass higher than 10,000u is called a protein. However, the
distinction between a polypeptide and a protein is not very sharp. Polypeptides with fewer
amino acids are likely to be called proteins if they ordinarily have a well-defined
conformation of a protein such as insulin which contains 51 amino acids. Proteins can be
classified into two types on the basis of their molecular shape.
Fibrous proteins
Globular proteins

a. Write zwitter ion structure of amino acid.

type.
32. When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration, 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
7
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 = CRT Here π is the osmotic pressure and R is the gas constant .
a) Define ideal solution.

31. Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do
most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the
body’s tissues and organs.
Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are
attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be
combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines each protein’s unique
3-dimensional structure and its specific function. Amino acids are coded by combinations of
three DNA building blocks (nucleotides), determined by the sequence of genes.

32. Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to
prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane. It is also
defined as the measure of the tendency of a solution to take in a pure solvent by osmosis.
Potential osmotic pressure is the maximum osmotic pressure that could develop in a solution
if it were separated from its pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis occurs when two solutions containing different concentrations of solute are

31. The four colligative properties of the dilute solutions help in calculating the molecular
mass of the solute which is often called observed molecular mass. It may be same as the
theoretical molecular mass (calculated from the molecular formula) if the solute behaves
normally in solution. In case, it undergoes association or dissociation, the observed molar
mass gives different results. The nature of the solute in solution is expressed in terms of
van’t Hoff factor (i) which may be 1 (if the solute behaves normally), less than 1 (if the
solute associates) and more than 1 (if the solute dissociates). The extent of association or
dissociation is represented by cc which is:
𝑖−1 𝑖−1
𝑎= (𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛) 𝑜𝑟 𝑎 = ( 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)
1 𝑛−1

32. Polysaccharides may be very large molecules. Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin are
examples of polysaccharides. Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up
of amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose). Amylose is soluble in water and
can be hydrolyzed into glucose units breaking glycosidic bonds, by the enzymes a-
amylase and β -amylase. It is straight chain polymer. β -mylopectin is a branched chain
polymer of several D-glucose molecules. 80% of amylopectin is present in starch. Plants
are able to synthesize glucose, and the excess glucose is stored as starch in different plant
parts, including roots and seeds. The starch that is consumed by animals is broken down
into smaller molecules, such as glucose. The cells can then absorb the glucose. Glycogen
is the storage form of glucose in humans and other vertebrates, and is made up of
monomers of glucose. It is structurally quite similar to amylopectin. Glycogen is the
animal equivalent of starch. It is stored in liver and skeletal muscles. Cellulose is one of
the most abundant natural biopolymers. The cell walls of plants are mostly made of
cellulose, which provides structural support to the cell. Wood and paper are mostly
cellulosic in nature. Like amylose, cellulose is a linear polymer of glucose. Cellulose is
made up of glucose monomers that are linked by bonds between particular carbon atoms
in the glucose molecule. Every other glucose monomer in cellulose is flipped over and
packed tightly as extended long chains. This gives cellulose its rigidity and high tensile
strength—which is so important to plant cells. Cellulose passing through our digestive
system is called dietary fiber.
Based on the above passage, answer the following questions:
(i) Glycogen is a kind of polysaccharide and is the storage form of glucose present in
humans and other vertebrates. It is the animal equivalent of starch but can you say where
is it stored in animals?
(ii) What can you infer about the characteristic of amylose from the passage?
(iii) Whenever glucose levels drop in our body, a bipolymer breaks down to release
glucose. Name this bipolymer and it is structurally similar to which polymer?
OR
(iv) Which polymer is important to plant cells? How?

The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has a choice and carries (1) marks
each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in the
liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and depressing its
freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the
added solute particles affect the formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the
decrease in freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This
phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several applications such as
freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution.
Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed by
forming ice crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The
freezing point depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar
concentration of the solution (m), along with vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and
osmotic pressure. These are physical characteristics of solutions that depend only on the identity of the
solvent and the concentration of the solute. The characters are not depending on the solute’s identity.

importance’. Chemically, proteins are the polymers in which the monomeric units are the α-amino acids.
Amino acids contain amino (-NH2) and carboxylic (-COOH) functional groups. Depending upon the
relative position of amino group with respect to carboxylic group, the amino acids can be classified as α,
β and γ-amino acids. Amino acids which are synthesised by the body are called non-essential amino acid.
On the other hand, those amino acids which cannot be synthesised in the human body and are supplied in
the form of diet (because they are required for proper health and growth) are called essential amino acids.
Q. 1.Why amino acids show amphoteric behaviour?
Q. 2.What is Peptide linkage ?
Q. 3. What are polypeptides?
a. 10 < α-amino acids joined together b. amino acids joined together

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. Carbohydrates play a vital role in our daily life. These are classified as monosaccharides,oligosaccharides
and polysaccharides depending upon the number of smaller molecules on hydrolysis. It has been
suggested that monosaccharides do not have a free aldehydic or ketonic group but have cyclic
hemiacetal or hemiketal structures. D-glucose exists in two stereo isomeric forms; α-D-glucose and
β-D-glucose which have different positions of H and OH groups on first carbon atom. Disaccharides such
as sucrose, maltose, lactose etc. give monosaccharides on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides are starch,cellulose,
glycogen havingmolecular formula (C6H10 O5)n.
(i) What is the name of the linkage which holds together monosaccharide units in sucrose?
(ii) Name the water insoluble component of starch.
(iii) a) Why does glucose not give 2, 4-DNP test?
b) When glucose is heated with methyl alcohol in the presence of dry HCl gas, it forms two methyl
glycosides.
Is it true or false?
32. Two solutions having same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are called isotonic solutions. When
such solutions are separated by semipermeable membrane, no osmosis occurs between them. For
example, the osmotic pressure associated with fluid inside the blood cell is equivalent to that of 0.9%
(mass/volume) sodium chloride solution, called normal saline solution and it is safe to inject intravenously.
On the other hand, if we place the cells in a solution containing more than 0.9% sodium chloride, water
will flow out of the cells and they would shrink. Such a solution is called hypertonic. If the salt
concentration is less than 0.9%, the solution is said to be hypotonic. In this case, water will flow into the cells
if placed in this solution and they would swell.

(i) What is meant by isotonic solution?
(ii) Which concentration of sodium chloride solution is suitable for transfusion into blood?
(iii)a) If a solution of 3g of sodium chloride dissolved in 500 ml of water is injected into the body, what will
happen to the blood cells?

follow.
31.Organic compounds containing amine as functional group are present in a vivid variety of
compounds, namely amino acids, hormones, neurotransmitters, DNA, alkaloids, dyes, etc. Drugs
including nicotine, morphine, codeine and heroin, etc. which have physiological effects on
humans also contain amino group in one form or another. Amines are basic because of the
presence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Addition of nitrogen into an organic framework
leads to the formation of two families of molecules, namely amines and amides. As chemistry
students, we must appreciate the versatility of nitrogen.

32. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Solutions are homogeneous
mixture of two or more substances. Ideal solution follow Raoult’s law. The vapour pressure of each
component is directly proportional to their mole fraction if both solute and solvent are volatile. The
relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to mole fraction of solute if only solvent is volatile.
Non-ideal solution form azeotropes which cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Henry’s
law is special case of Raoult’s law applicable to gases dissolved in liquids.
Colligative properties depend upon number of particles of solute. Relative lowering of vapour
pressure, elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point and osmotic pressure are
colligative properties which depend upon mole fraction of solute, molality and molarity of
solutions. When
solute undergoes either association or dissociation, molecular mass determined by colligative
property
will be abnormal. van’t Hoff factor is used in such cases which is ratio of normal molecular mass
over observed molar mass.

Qii)
34 (a) The ability of fluorine to stabilize the highest oxidation state is attributed to the higher
lattice energy or high bond enthalpy.
(b) Co2+ has three unpaired electrons so it would be paramagnetic in nature, hence Co2+
ion would be attracted to magnetic field.
(c) The transition elements of 5d series have intervening 4f orbitals. There is greater
effective nuclear charge acting on outer valence electrons due to the weak shielding by 4f
electrons. Hence first ionisation energy of 5 d series of transition elements are higher than
that of 3d and 4d series.
d
(i) Cu2+(aq) is much more stable than Cu+(aq). This is because although second ionization
enthalpy of copper is large but Δhyd (hydration enthalpy) for Cu2+(aq) is much more
negative than that for Cu+(aq) and hence it more than compensates for the second
ionization enthalpy of copper. Therefore, many copper (I) compounds are unstable in
aqueous solution and undergo disproportionation as follows :
2Cu+ → Cu2+ + Cu
(ii) Because of very small energy gap between 5f, 6d and 7s subshells all their electrons

Q. 19 When gases are dissolved in water, it is accompanied by a release of heat energy, i.e., process is
exothermic. When the temperature is increased, according to Le-chatlier’s Principle, the equilibrium shifts
in backward direction, and thus gases becomes less soluble in liquids. 2
Q. 20 (i) There will be no effect of catalyst on Gibbs .energy.
(ii) The catalyst provides an alternative pathway by decreasing the activation energy of a reaction. 2
Q. 21 The conductivity of a solution is linked with the number of ions present per unit volume. With dilution,
these decrease and the corresponding conductivity or specific conductance of the solution decreases. 2

Q. 23 Alkyl halides though polar are immissible with H2O because energy is required to overcome the
attractions between the haloalkane molecule and to break the hydrogen bonds between the water
molecules. Thus, alkyl halides though polar are immisicible with water. 2
Q. 24 The carbon atom of the carbonyl group of benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than carbon atom of the
carbonyl group present in propanal. The polarity of the carbonyl group is reduced in benzaldehyde due to
resonance as shown below and hence it is less reactive than propanal. 2
Q. 25 (i) Butanamide
(ii) Benzenamine 2
(i) The hydrolysis products of lactose are glucose and galactose.
(ii) D-glucose reacts with hydroxylamine (NH2OH) to form an oxime because of the presence of aldehydic
(−CHO) group or carbonyl carbon. This happens as the cyclic structure of glucose forms an open chain
structure in an aqueous medium, which then reacts with NH 2OH to give an oxime. But pentaacetate of D-
glucose does not react with NH2OH. This is because pentaacetate does not form an open chain 1
structure. 1
SECTION C
Q. 26 (a) Osmosis is a process by which the molecules of a solvent pass from a solution of low concentration to
a solution of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. The osmotic flow can be stopped
or reversed, also called reverse osmosis, by exerting an external pressure to the sides of the solute. The
minimum pressure required to stop the solvent transfer is called the osmotic pressure.
(b) The oozing out water shrinks and kills the bacterial cells and destroys their presence on the

Q. 27 (i) In lanthanoids, 4f orbital is filled and in actinoids, 5f orbital is filled. lanthanoids have general electronic
configuration [Xe]4f1−14 5d0−1 6s2. Actinoids have general electronic configuration [Rn] 5f 1−14 6d0−1 7s2.
(ii) Apart from +3 oxidation state, lanthanoids show +2 and +4 oxidation states due to large energy gap
between 4f and 5d subshells. Whereas actinoids show large number of oxidation states due to small
energy gap between 5f and 6d subshells.
(iii)Highly electropositive lanthanoids have almost similar chemical reactivity. Actinoids (electropositive
and highly reactive) are more reactive (specially in finely divided state) than lanthanoids.
Lanthanide Contraction: The steady decrease in the atomic size of lanthanides on increasing the atomic
number is due to the increasing the nuclear charge and electrons entering the inner orbital or anti
penultimate shell. This steady decrease in the size with an increasing atomic number is called lanthanide
contraction.
Consequences of Lanthanoid contractions
Atomic size: The size of the atom of the third transition series is closely the same as that of the atom of
the second transition series. For example, the atomic radius of atomic radius of Hf and the atomic radius
of atomic radius of etc.
Difficulty in the separation of lanthanides: As there is only a minute change in the ionic radii of
lanthanides, their chemical properties are the same. This makes the separation very difficult.
Effect on the basic strength of hydroxides: The size of lanthanides decreases from to , the covalent
character of the hydroxides increases, and hence their basic strength decreases. For example, is said to
be the least basic, and is more basic.

(i) In aniline, the electron pair on nitrogen atom is involved in conjugation with ring and is less available
for protonation than in methyl amine. Therefore,
pKb value of aniline is more than that of methylamine and aniline is less basic, (As higher the pKb value,
less is the basicity)
(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding. In aniline due to bulky hydrocarbon part, the
extent of hydrogen bonding is less and it is not soluble in water.
(iii) Methylamine being more basic than water, accepts a proton from water and OH− ions are produced.
Q. 30 (i) Since, Vitamin C is soluble in water, so dissolves in water and can be elliminated out from the body
through urine. Hence, Vit C can be stored in the body.
(ii) A DNA molecule is double-stranded in which the pairing of bases occurs. Adenine always pairs with
thymine, while cytosine always pairs with guanine. Therefore, on hydrolysis of DNA, the quantity of
adenine produced is equal to that of thymine and similarly, the quantity of cytosine is equal to that of
guanine. But when RNA is hydrolyzed, there is no relationship among the quantities of the different bases
obtained. Hence, RNA is single-stranded.

(d) 6 1
(a) In [Ni(CN)4]2−, the electrons are all paired as CN- is a strong field ligand. Therefore, d-d transition is
not possible in [Ni(CN)4]2−. Hence, it is colourless.
(b) In case of [Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(H2O)6]2+, the colour differs because there is a difference in the CFSE. 2
Now, CN− is a strong field ligand having a higher CFSE value as compared to the CFSE value of water. 2
(c) Chelate effect represents the stabilization of coordination compounds due to formation of metal 1
chelates. Complexes containing chelating ligands are more stable than complexes containing unidentate
ligands. Thus, [Co(en)3]3+ is more stable than [Co(NH3)6]3+. Here, en is ethylene diammine, a bidentate
ligand

Refer to NCERT Text Book 1
i) Cyclohexanones form cyanohydrins according to the following equation. In this case, the nucleophile
CN− can easily attack without any steric hindrance. However, in the case of 2, 2, 6
trimethylcydohexanone, methyl groups at α-positions offer steric hindrances and as a result, CN− cannot
attack effectively.For this reason, it does not form a cyanohydrin.
(ii) Semicarbazide undergoes resonance involving only one of the two −NH 2 groups, which is attached
directly to the carbonyl-carbon atom.Therefore, the electron density on −NH 2 group involved in the
resonance also decreases. As a result, it cannot act as a nucleophile. Since the other −NH2 group is not
involved in resonance; it can act as a nucleophile and can attack carbonyl-carbon atoms of aldehydes
and ketones to produce semicarbazones.
(iii) Ester along with water is formed reversibly from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in presence of an
acid. If either water or ester is not removed as soon as it is formed, then it reacts to give back the 1
reactants as the reaction is reversible. Therefore, to shift the equilibrium in the forward direction i.e., to 2
produce more ester, either of the two should be removed. 2

Functional differences between DNA and RNA
(i) DNA is the chemical basis of heredity and is responsible for
maintaining the identity of different species.
(ii) RNA molecules are responsible for protein synthesis but the message
for the synthesis of a particular protein is present in DNA
OR Primary structure of proteins: Proteins may have one or more
polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide in a protein has amino acids linked
with each other in a specific sequence which is known as primary
structure of protein.
Secondary structure of proteins: The conformation which the polypeptide
chains assume as a result of hydrogen bonding is called the secondary
structure of the protein.Depending upon the size of the R groups, the two
different secondary structures are possible which are:
α-Helix structure: Intramolecular H-bonds present between the C = O of
one amino acid and N – H of fourth amino acid.
β-Pleated sheet structure: The two neighbouring polypeptide chains are
held together by intermolecular H-bonds

29 . (a) Aniline exists as a resonance hybrid of the following five structures: 3
The electron density is maximum at ortho and para positions to the – NH2
group. But in benzene there is no delocalisation of electron at any position
and hence electrophilic substitution in case of aromatic amines takes place
more readily than benzene.
(b) In ethanamide the lone pair of electrons of N-atom is not available due
to resonance structure
30 (i) Because the new forces of attraction set up between haloalkanes and 3
solvent molecules are of the same strength as the forces of attraction being
broken.
(ii) A mixture which contains the equal proportions of two enantiomers of
a compound in equal proportions is called racemic mixture
Example: (±) butan-2-ol
(iii) Since the reactivity of SN1 reactions increases as the stability of
intermediate carbocation increases. Of the two 2° bromides, the
carbocation intermediate derived from C6H5CH(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.

(i) In aq. solution, KOH is almost completely ionised to give OH– ions

abstract a hydrogen from the β-carbon of the alkyl halide to form alkene.
(ii) KCN is an ionic compound and provides cyanide ions in solution.
Although both carbon and nitrogen atoms are in a position to donate

OR (i) n fluoroacetic acid, Fluorine being electron
withdrawing group stabilizes the conjugate base through delocalization of
the negative charge Therefore fluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than
acetic acid.
(ii) 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 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.

In case of strong electrolyte, the number of ions remains the same but the
interionic attraction decrease
34. (a):- The transition elements form complexes because they are able to accept
pairs of electrons from donor molecules or ions to form dative covalent bonds.
The reason they can accept pairs of electrons is because they have a number of
empty orbitals in the d subshells.
(b):- An alloy is a homogenous mixture of two or more metals or non

metals.Atomic size of transition metals of a particular series ar quite similar
,therefore atoms of one metal can replace the second on ein its crystal
lattice.We form alloys due to more hardness and high mp and bp.

because of spaces between the metal atoms.These space are present because of
their defects in their structures and existence of variable oxidation states.

35. (A) The p-isomer being more symmetrical fits closely in the crystal lattice and 5
thus has stronger intermolecular forces of attraction than those of o- and m-

a larger amount of energy is needed to melt or dissolve the p- isomer than the
corresponding o- and meta isomers.
(B) In aq. solution, KOH is almost completely ionised to give OH – ions which

(C) Lucas reagent is a mixture of HCl(g) and anhydrous ZnCl2
(D) KI is expected to give HI on reacting with H2SO4 which will convert

alcohol to alkyliodides. However, H2SO4 is a strong oxidizing agent and it
oxidises HI formed during the reaction to I2 which does not react with alcohol.
KI + H2SO4 → KHSO4 + HI
H2SO4 → H2O + SO2 + [O]
2HI + [O] → H2O + I2
To solve the problem, H2SO4 is replaced by phosphoric acid H3PO4 which
provides HI for the reaction and does not give I2 as is done by H 2SO4.
KI + H3PO4 → KH2PO4 + HI
Allyl Chloride readily undergoes ionization to produce resonance stabilized
allyl carbocation. Since carbocations are reactive species they readily combine
with OH– ions to form allyl alcohol. Ionization
In contrast, n-propyl chloride does not undergo ionization to produce n-propyl

carbocation and hence allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl
chloride.

following reactions cannot be explained by the open chain structure of glucose.
(1) Glucose has aldehyde group but it does not react with 2,4 dinitro phenyl hydrazine,
sodium bisulphite and Schiff's base.
(2) There is no condensation reaction between glucose penta-acetate and hydroxylamine. This
indicates that free aldehyde group is absent.
21. KCN is predominantly ionic and provides cyanide ions in solution. Although both carbon
and nitrogen atoms are in a position to donate electron pairs, the attack takes place mainly
through carbon atom and not through nitrogen atom since C—C bond is more stable than C—
N bond. However, AgCN is mainly covalent in nature and nitrogen is free to donate electron
pair forming isocyanide as the main product
Or
The molecular formula of hydrocarbon is C5H10. It satisfies the general formula CnH2n . It
suggests that the hydrocarbon is either alkene or cyclloalkane. It does not react with chlorine
in dark. Hence, it cannot be alkene. Hence, it is cycloalkane. It gives a single monochloro
compound C5H9Cl in bright sunlight. Hence, the hydrocarbon.is cyclopentane.

23. In rainy season and in highly humid atmosphere the iron surface has a layer of water. This
water layer dissolves acidic oxides of the air like CO2,SO2 etc. to form acids which dissociate
to give H+ ions.
H2O+CO2→H2CO3⇌2H++CO32−
In the presence of H+ ions, iron starts losing electrons at some spot to form ferrous ions, i.e.,
its oxidation takes place. Here it is anode.
Fe(s)→Fe(aq)2++2e- (anode)
Now the released electrons move through the metal and reach to another spot where H+ ions
and the dissolved oxygen take up these electrons and reduction reaction takes place. Here it is
cathode.
O2(g)+4H+(aq) +4e−+2H2O(l)(cathode)
The overall reaction is
2Fe(s)+O2(g)+4H+(aq)→2Fe2+ (aq) +2H2O(l)
Thus in this way an electrochemical cell is set up on the surface. This ferrous ion further
oxidised by the atmospheric oxygen to ferric ions which combine with water molecules to
form hydrated ferric oxide,Fe2O3.xH2O, which is rust.
24. Following factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction:

Cr (Z=24) has electronic configuration [Ar]3d54s1.

Ni (Z=28) has electronic configuration [Ar]3d84s2.
Ni2+ has electronic configuration [Ar]3d8.
It undergoes dsp2 hybridisation to form 4 hybrid orbitals which are occupied by electron pairs
donated by four cyanide ligands.
28. a. According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to
the pressure of the gas.
X=Kh ×P
X is the mole fraction of gas, Kh is Henry's law constant and P is the partial pressure of the
gas.
Important applications of Henry's law:
1) In packing of soda cans: Soda water bottles are always packed under higher pressure to
increase the solubility of CO2 gas.
2) In deep-sea diving: Nitrogen is more soluble than Helium in our blood. In the deep sea, the
pressure is higher than at the surface of the water. When diver tries to come rapidly towards
the surface of the water, pressure decreases and dissolved nitrogen comes back from blood
and makes bubbles in veins. Hence, divers use oxygen diluted with helium.

29. (i) pKb of aniline is more than that of methylamine.
In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on N atom is in resonance with benzene ring. Hence, it
cannot be easily donated to an acid. This decreases its basicity. In methyl amine, the +I effect
of methyl group increases the electron density on N atom so that the lone pair of electrons
on N atom can be easily donated to an acid. Hence, methylamine is more basic than aniline.
Higher is the basicity, lower is the pKb and vice versa.
(ii) Although amino group is o,p− directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions,
aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline: Nitration is carried out in an
acidic medium. In an acidic medium, aniline is protonated to give anilinium ion (which is
meta-directing).
(iii) Aniline, N-substituted and N,N-disubstituted anilines do not undergo Friedel-Craft's
reactions due to salt formation with aluminium chloride which is used as a Lewis acid
catalyst. Positive charge on nitrogen is strongly electron-withdrawing and thus deactivates the
ring for further acylation or alkylation reactions.
(iv) Ethylamine is soluble in water owing to its potential to form intermolecular Hydrogen
bonds with water. On the other hand, aniline does not undergo hydrogen bonding because of
the presence of the benzene which is highly hydrophobic. Therefore aniline is insoluble in
water.
30. (i) In chlorobenzene, the C atom of the C-Cl bond is sp2 hybridized and has more s
character and electronegativity. In cyclohexyl chloride, the C atom of the C-Cl bond
is sp3 hybridized, has less s character and less electronegative. Hence, the C-Cl bond in
chlorobenzene is less polar than the C-Cl bond in cyclohexyl chloride.
Also, in chlorobenzene, the lone pair of electron on the Cl atom is in resonance with a
benzene ring. This gives partial double bond character to C-Cl bond and there is a decrease in
the magnitude of partial negative charge on Cl atom. However, in cyclohexyl chloride, there
is a C-Cl single bond. The dipole moment is a product of charge and distance. Also C-Cl
bond with partial double bond character has lower bond length than with C-Cl single bond.
Hence, chlorobenzene has lower dipole moment than cyclohexyl chloride.
(ii) Inter-molecular attractive forces present in alkyl halides are dipole dipole interactions and
in case of water molecules, intermolecular hydrogen bonds are present. When alkyl halides
are added to water, the intermolecular attractive force present between an alkyl halide and
water molecules are weaker than the forces that are already present between two alkyl halide
molecules and two water molecules. Hence, alkyl halides are water-immiscible.
(iii) Grignard reagents are highly reactive with moisture that is present in apparatus or
starting materials. Hence, we should prepare Grignard reagents in the anhydrous condition.

(i) When n−butyl chloride is treated with alcoholic KOH, the formation of but−l−ene takes
place. This reaction is a dehydrohalogenation reaction.
(ii) When bromobenzene is treated with Mg in the presence of dry ether, phenylmagnesium
bromide is formed.
(iii) When methyl bromide is treated with sodium in the presence of dry ether, ethane is
formed. This reaction is known as the Wurtz reaction.
31. a. The α - helix structure fo proteins is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen
bonding between >C = O and > N- H groups of different peptide bonds.
b. The most common types of secondary structures are the α helix and the β pleated sheet.
Both structures are held in shape by hydrogen bonds, which form between the carbonyl O of

c. Like ionic compounds, amino acids have a strong electrostatic attraction when present
in zwitterion. Because of this, they have a melting point and solubility in higher than the

The molar concentration of table salt (sodium chloride) in the solution = 1mol/1litre = 1M

34 An organic compound with the molecular formula C9H10O forms 2,4-DNP derivative and
also reduces Tollens reagent.
Hence, the compound is an aldehyde.
The compound undergoes Cannizzaro reaction. Hence, it does not contains an alpha H atom.
On vigorous oxidation, it gives 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid. Hence, -CHO group is directly
attached to benzene ring and the compound is ortho di-substituted benzene.
The compound.is 2-ethylbenzaldehyde.
Or
Organic compound A is an ester as on acid hydrolysis it gives a mixture of an acid and an
alcohol.
Oxidation of alcohol (C) gives acid (B). Hence, the number of carbon atoms in (B) and (C)
are same.
Ester (compound A) has eight C atoms. Hence, both carboxylic acid B and alcohol C must
contain 4 C atoms each.
Dehydration of alcohol C gives but-1-ene. Hence, C must be a straight chain alcohol, i.e
butan-1-ol
Oxidation of (C) gives (B). Hence, (B) is butanoic acid.

i. Due to resonance/diagrammatic representation, the C – Cl bond acquires a partial

double bond character. As a result, the C – Cl bond in chlorobenzene is shorter and
hence stronger. Thus, cleavage of the C – Cl bond in benzene becomes difficult which
makes it less reactive toward nucleophilic substitution reaction.------1
ii. Due to repulsion between the nucleophile and electron-rich arenes .---------1

21 a. The three dimensional structures of the three compounds along 1
with the direction of dipole moment in each of their bonds are
given below:
CCl4 being symmetrical has zero dipole moment. In CHCl3, the
resultant of two C – Cl dipole moments is opposed by the resultant
of C – H and C – Cl bonds. Since the dipole moment of latter
resultant is expected to be smaller than the former, CHCl3 has a
finite dipole (1.03 D) moment.
In CH2CI2, the resultant of two C – Cl dipole moments is
reinforced by resultant of two C – H dipoles, therefore, CH2CI2 (1
.62 D) has a dipole moment higher than that of CHCl3. Thus,
CH2CI2 has highest dipole moment.

22. It means a π bond is formed by the donation of a pair of electrons from the
filled metal d orbital into the vacant anti-bonding π orbital (also known as
back bonding of the carbonyl group). The σ bond strengthens the π bond
and vice-versa. Thus, a synergic effect is created due to this metal-ligand
bonding.

With 3d4 configuration, Cr2+ acts as a reducing agent but Mn3+ acts
as an oxidising agent. (Atomic masses, Cr = 24, Mn = 25). Mn3+ |
Mn2+(+ 1.5 V). On the basis of these values, it is clear
that Cr2+ has a greater tendency to oxidise into Cr3+, thus it acts as
reducing agent
This is because although energy is required to remove one electron
from Cu+ to Cu2+, high hydration energy of Cu2+ compensates for
it. Therefore, Cu+ ion in an aqueous solution is unstable.

(i) NaCl → Na+ + Cl-
(e)
H2O ⇌ H+ + OH-
The value of E0 of O2 is higher than Cl2 but O2 is evolved from H2O only when the higher
voltage is applied. So, because of this Cl2 is evolved instead of O2. [1]
(ii) Conductivity varies with the change in the concentration of the electrolyte. The number of
ions per unit volume decreases on dilution. So, conductivity decreases with decrease in
concentration. Therefore, conductivity of CH3COOH decreases on dilution. [1]

34. (a)(i) Chlorine acts as electron withdrawing group, so it helps in dispersing the negative
charge on carboxylate ion after releasing of H+ ions and thus making it stable. So,
Cl-CH2COOH is stronger acid than CH3COOH. [1]
(ii)This is because C=O group is involved in resonance with lone pair of electron on -OH group
thus decreasing the electophilicity of carbonyl carbon. [1]
(b)(i) Rosenmund reduction:
[1]
(ii) Cannizzaro’s Reaction:
CH3CH2CH2COCH3 shows iodoform test because it has a terminal methyl ketone group. [1]
OR
(a) Aldehydes or ketones having methyl ketonic group will only give iodoform test. [2]
Therefore , A = CH3COCH3 , B= CH3CH2CHO
(b)(i)Acetophenone has methyl group attached to carbonyl group while benzaldehyde doesn’t.
So these can be distinguished by Iodoform test. [1]
(ii)HCOOH gives silver mirror test with Tollen's reagent whereas ethanoic acid does not. 1]
(c) CH3CHO <CH3CH2OH < CH3COOH [1]

Ethanal has weak dipole-dipole interactions , Both Ethanoic acid and Ethanol has
intermolecular hydrogen bonding but stronger in former due to dimer formation.
(i) The electronic configurations of Zn, Cd and Hg are represented by the general formula (n-
1)d10 ns2. The orbitals in these elements are completely filled in the ground state as well as in
their common oxidation states. [1]
(ii) Scandium [1]
(iii)Transition metal and their compounds show catalytic properties because of the following
reasons: [1]
1. Due to their variable oxidation state, they form an intermediate complex, thereby providing a
new path for reaction.
2. Availability of empty d-orbital which provides good surface area for reaction.
(iv): Due to presence of unpaired electron in their atoms, transition elements have stronger
interatomic interaction and hence stronger bonding between atoms. which results in high
boiling points. [1]
(v)Configuration of Cu2+ −[Ar]3d9 Zn2+−[Ar]3d10
Cu2+ has an unpaired electron which acts as a F centre and allows electron transition in visible
region importing color while Zn2+have no unpaired electrons hence colourless. [1]
