It has octahedral shape and is paramagnetic in nature due to presence of one unpaired electron.
20. A glucose molecule contains five-OH groups while a sucrose molecule contains eight-OH
groups. Thus, glucose and sucrose undergo extensive H-bonding with water. Hence, these are
soluble in water.
But cyclohexane and benzene do not contain-OH groups. Hence, they cannot undergo H-bonding
with water and as a result, are insoluble in water.
21. When 2° and 3° structure of protein is destroyed by changing pH or in temperature protein is said
to be denatured.
22. Standard hydrogen electrode is the reference electrode whose electrode potential is taken to be
zero. The electrode potential of other electrodes is measured with respect to it.
Standard electrode (SHE) represented by Pt(s) |H2g| H + (aq), is assigned a zero potential at all
temperature corresponding to the reaction.
The standard hydrogen electrode consists of a platinum electrode coated with platinum black.
The electrode is dipped in an acidic solution and pure hydrogen gas is bubbled through it. The
concentration of both the reduced and oxidised forms of hydrogen is maintained at unity

24. Only effective collision leads to the formation of products. It means that collisions in which
molecules collide with sufficient kinetic energy (called threshold energy = activation energy +
energy possessed by reacting species). And proper orientation leads to a chemical change (this,
forming products) it facilitates the breaking of old bonds between (reactant) molecules and the
formation of the new ones, i.e., in products. e.g., formation of methanol from bromomethane
depends upon the orientation of the reactant molecules.

The proper orientation of reactant molecules leads to bond formation whereas improper
orientation makes them simply back and no products are formed. To account for effective
collisions, another factor P (probability or steric factor) is introduced K  Ae 

Dividing equation (i) by equation (ii), we get
t(99%) = 2 × t(90%)
Hence, the time taken to complete 99% of the first order reaction is twice the time required for
the completion of 90% of the reaction.

26. The molecular formula of the compound is C8 H8O. As A does not give Tollens or Fehling’s
test. It must be a ketone. It gives a positive test with 2, 4-DNP, and iodoform test. It means it is
methyl ketone. B is iodoform and C is benzoic acid.

28. The alcohol combines with HCl to form protonated alcohol. The positive charge on oxygen
weakens the C-O bond leading to its cleavage.

The rate-determining step in the above mechanism is (b), which is a slow step reaction. The
stability of carbocation will determine the reactivity of the reaction. Since the order of stability of
carbocation is primary. < secondary. < tertiary. Higher the stability of carbonium ion faster the
reaction of the alcohol with the nucleophile Cl . Hence the order of formation of an alkyl halide
in the above reaction is primary < secondary < tertiary.
