Section D
31. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

Alkenes generally undergo electrophilic addition reactions because of the presence of a double bond pi
electrons,which being loosely held are easily polarized. These reactions involve cleavage of a Pi bond
and formation of two new Sigma bonds.In polar solvents, addition proceed by ionic mechanism at low
temperature whereas in the presence of light or nonpolar solvents, the addition occurs by free radical
mechanism at high temperature Apart from addition reactions also participate in the
oxidation,ozonolysis and polymerisation reaction.

rule.

iv) Write the reaction of polymerization of ethylene.

32. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

Every system is associated with a definite amount of energy called the internal energy U of the system.
It is the sum of chemical,electrical,mechanical or any other form of energy that anyone may think of.
However gravitational energy is generally neglected.It is a state function i.e independent of the path
followed. It may change when

i) Heat follows in or out of the system

ii) Work is done on the system

iii) Matter enters or leave the system.

It is an extensive property i.e depends upon the mass of the substance. It depends only on temperature.
The absolute value of internal energy possessed by a substance cannot be calculated because it is not
possible to predict the exact values of different forms of energy. Thus we can calculate the change in
internal energy which is achieved by changing the state of a system. First law of thermodynamics was
proposed by Helmholtz and Robert Mayer who stated that the energy of an isolated system is constant
that is energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.
That's why it is called law of conservation of energy. When a system undergoes isothermal change delta
U=0 i.e. there is no increase or decrease in the internal energy of the system then the first law of
thermodynamics reduces to 0= q + w or q= -w.

i) Neither q or w is a state function but q + w is a state function .Explain why.

ii) Out of mass and density which is an intensive property and why.
iii) Explain thermodynamically how is the heat absorbed by system is used in doing work at constant
temperature and pressure.

iv) What is the change in the energy of system if 500cal of heat energy are added to a system and does
350 cal of work on the surroundings.
