Direction (Q. Nos. 13-16) In the following questions an Assertion (A) is
followed by a corresponding Reason (R). Use the following keys to choose the
appropriate answer.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct
explanation of (A).
(b) Both (A) and ;R) are true, but (R) is not the correct
explanation of (A).
(c) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
(d) (A) is false,
but (R) is true.
Question 13.
Assertion (A) In alcohols, the boiling point decreases with
decrease in the branching of the carbon chain.
Reason (R) There is the
decrease in van der Waals’ forces between the number of carbon atoms with
decrease in the surface area. [1]
Answer:
(d) (A) is false, but (R) is
true.
The boiling point of alcohols and phenols increases with increase in the number of carbon atoms (increase in van der Waals’ forces). In alcohols, the boiling point decreases with increase of branching in carbon chain (because of decrease in van der Waal’s forces with decrease in surface area).
Question 14.
Assertion (A) tert-butyl bromide undergoes Wurtz reaction to
give 2,2,3,3 -tetramethylbutane.
Reason (R) In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides
react with sodium in dry ether to give hydrocarbon containing double the number
of carbon atoms present in the halide. [1]
Answer:
(a) Both (A) and (R)
are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Question 15.
Assertion (A)Iron has higher enthalpy of atomisation than
that of copper.
Reason (R) Lower the number of unpaired electron, higher will
be the enthalpy of atomisation. [1]
Answer:
(c) (A) is true, but (R) is
false.
Greater the number of unpaired electron, stronger will be bonding and thus
enthalpy of atomisation will also
be more. Since, iron has more unpaired
electron than copper therefore its enthalpy of atomisation is more.
Question 16.
Assertion (A) DNA undergoes replication.
Reason (R) DNA
contains cytosine and thymine as pyrimidine base. [1]
Answer:
(b) Both (A)
and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The genetic information of the cell is contained in the sequence of bases A, T, G and C in DNA molecule.
When a cell divides, DNA molecules replicate and make exact copies of themselves so that each daughter cell will have DNA identical to that of the parent cell.

(This section contains 5
questions with internal choice in one question. The following questions are very
short answer type and carry 2 marks each.)
Question 17.
A coordination compound CoCl3 ∙ 4H2O
precipitates silver chloride when treated with silver nitrate. This compound
dissociates into two ions in solution. Write the structural formula of the
compound and name it. [2]
Answer:
Formation of white precipitate with
AgNO3 shows that atleast one Cl– ion is present outside
the coordination sphere.
Moreover, only two ions are obtained in solution, so only Cl– is
present outside the sphere. Thus, the formula of the complex is
[CO(H2O)4 Cl2]Cl.
Its IUPAC name is
tetraaquadichloridocobalt (III) chloride.
Question 18.
A 1.00 molal aqueous solution of trichloroacetic acid
(CCl3COOH) is heated to its boiling point.
The solution has the
boiling point 100.18° C. Determine the van’t Hoff factor for trichloroacetic
acid.
(Kb for water = 0.512 K kg mol-1). [2]
Answer:
Consider the relation, ∆Tb = iKbm
Given,
Molality of solution, m = 1.00 m
Boiling point of solution, Tb =
100.18° C = 37818 K
Boiling point of water (solvent)
T°b =
100.00° C = 373 K
∆Tb = Tb – T°b = 37318 K –
373 K = 0.18 K
∆Tb = i Kbm
0.18K = i × 0.512 K kg
mol-1 × 1 mol kg-1
i = \(\frac{0.18 \mathrm{~K}}{0.512
\mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \times 1 \mathrm{~mol}
\mathrm{~kg}^{-1}}\) = 0.35
Question 19.
Give reason for the following.
(a) Thionyl chloride method
is preferred for preparing alkyl chloride from alcohols.
(b) Out of
1-bromopentane or 2-bromopentane, which will react faster towards SN2
reaction? [2]
Answer:
(a) Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) is preferred
for preparation of alkyl chloride from alcohol, because the by-products we get
in this reaction are escapable gases, thus we get good yield of alkyl-chloride,
i.e.
(b) 1-bromopentane is a primary alkyl halide while 2-bromopentane is a
secondary alkyl halide.
Since, primary alkyl halides are sterically less
hindered therefore, 1 -bromopentane reacts faster towards SN2
reaction.
Question 20.
(a) Write the IUPAC name of the following : [2]
Answer:
(b) Which acid of given pair would you expect to be stronger acid?
F—CH2—COOH or Cl—CH2—COOH

questions with internal choice in one question. The following questions are
short answer type and carry 3 marks each.)
Question 22.
(a) State rate law and explain the difference between the
average rate and instantaneous rate of a chemical reaction. [3]
Answer:
Rate law is the expression in which reaction rate is given in terms of molar
concentration of reactants with each term raised to some power, which may be or
may not be same as the stoichiometric coefficient of the reacting species in a
balanced chemical equation, e.g. For a general reaction,
aA + bB → cC +
dD
Rate = k[A]a[B]b
Average rate of reaction It is defined as the change in the concentration of
any one of the reactants or products over a long time interval.
Average rate
of reaction \(=\frac{\text { Change in concentration }}{\text { Time interval
}}\)
For a reaction, R → P
rav = –\(\frac{\Delta[R]}{\Delta
t}\) = \(\frac{+\Delta[P]}{\Delta t}\)
Instantaneous rate of reaction It is defined as the rate of change in
concentration of any one of the reactants or products at that particular instant
of time.
For a reaction, R → P
rinst = –\(\frac{d[R]}{d t}\) =
+\(\frac{d[P]}{d t}\)
(dt = very small interval of time)
(b) The rate constant for a zero order reaction in A is 0.0030 mol
L-1s-1. How long will it take for the initial
concentration of A to fall from 0.10 M to 0.075 M?
Answer:
For zero order
reaction,
Rate constant, k = \(\frac{[R]_0-[R]}{t}\)
Given,
[R]0 = 0.10 M, [R] = 0.075 M and k = 0.0030 mol L-1
s-1
∴ t = \(\frac{[R]_0-[R]}{k}\) = \(\frac{0.10-0.075}{0.0030}\)
= 8.33 s
Question 23.
(a) Why does the voltage of a mercury cell remain constant
during its operation? [3]
Answer:
The voltage of a mercury cell remains
constant during its life as the overall reaction does not involve any ion in
solution whose concentration can change during its life-time.
(b) The molar conductivity of substance ‘A’ is 6.3 × 103 S/m and
‘B’ is 1.8 × 10-16 S/m. Which of the two is most likely to be good
conductor of electricity and why?
Answer:
‘A’ is the good conductor of
electricity because it have high value of molar conductivity.
(c) The standard electrode potential for daniel cell is 1.1 V Calculate the
standard Gibbs energy for the cell reaction. (F = 96500 C mol-1)
Zn(s) + Cu2+(ag) → Zn2+(ag) + Cu(s)
Answer:
Zn(s) +
Cu2+ (aq) → Zn (aq) + Cu(s)
E° = +1.1V, ∆G°= ?, 1F = 96500 C
mol-1, n = 2
∆G° = -nFE° = -2 × 96500 × 1.1
= -212300 J

(c) 2-methyl-1-propanol
Answer:
Question 25.
A ketone A (C4H8O) which undergoes a
haloform reaction gives compound B on reduction. B on heating with sulphuric
acid gives a compound C which forms mono-ozonide D. D on hydrolysis with zinc
dust gives only acetaldehyde E.
Identify A, B, C, and D. Write an explanation
for your answer. [3]
Answer:
(a)
Since, A gives haloform test, it must
contain —COCH3 group.
Thus, its possible fomula is
C2H5COCH3. On reduction, it gives 2-butanol,
i.e. compound B which on dehydration with sulphuric acid gives 2-butene (C).
Ozonolysis of 2-butene gives only acetaldehyde (E).
The equations involved
are
A gives iodoform reaction as
Or
An organic compound ‘A ‘ (C7H6O2) was
prepared by the oxidation of compound B with alkaline KMnO4. Compound
A on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gets converted back to compound B.
When the compound A is heated with compound B in the presence of
H2SO4, it produces fruity smell of compound C.
Identify
A, B and C and write the reaction of A with B to form C. [3]
Answer:
Question 26.
(a) Identify the products formed when lactose undergoes
hydrolysis. [3]
Answer:
Lactose on hydrolysis gives β-D-galactose and
β-D-glucose.
(b) Why the two strands of DNA are not identical but are complementary?
Answer:
Adenine is bound to thymine whereas guanine to cytosine. Due to this
base pairing principle, the séquence of bases in one strand automatically fixed
the sequence of bases in the other strand.
Thus, the two strands are not
identical but are complimentary.
(c) Name the product which will be obtained when D-glucose reacts with cone.
HNO3. Write the reactions involved.
Answer:
It is saccharic
acid which is formed as per the reaction.
Question 27.
How would you differentiate between SN1 aid
SN2 mechanism of substitution reactions? Give one example of each.
[3]
Answer:
In SN1 mechanism of substitution reaction, the rate
of reaction depends upon the concentration of only one reactant.
e.g. In the
reaction between tert-butyl bromide and hydroxide ion to form tert-butyl
alcohol, rate of reaction depends only on the concentration of tert-butyl
bromide.
(CH3)3C—Br + OH– →
(CH3)3C— OH + Br–
It involves the formation
of carbocation intermediate and racemisation takes place.
In SN2 mechanism of substitution reaction , the rate of reaction
depends upon the concentration of both the reactants, i.e. on both haloalkane
and nucleophile, e.g. in the reaction between methyl chloride and
hydroxide
ion to form methanol, rate of reaction depends on the concentration of both the
reactants.
It involves the formation of transition state and inversion (Walden inversion)
of configuration takes place.
Question 28.
Using valence bond theory, explain the following in relation
to the complex [Cr(H2O)6]3+

Question 29.
Jorani performed an experiment to check the chemical kinetics
of bacteria. Approximately 100 bacteria were placed in a flask containing
nutrients, so that they can multiply. This experiment at 35°C gave the following
results.
Time (in min) | 0 | 15 | 30 | 45 | 60 |
Number of bacteria | 100 | 200 | 400 | 800 | 1600 |
Answer the following questions on the basis of above data. [4]
(a) Which
order of the reaction was followed in the multiplication of bacteria? Justify
your answer.
Answer:
As the rate of the reaction increases with increase
in concentration, the order of reaction is the first order.
Rate ∝ [No. of
bacteria]
(b) Why did Jorani collect the reading at various time intervals?
Answer:
To maintain the accuracy and to avoid error in results, different
sets of readings were taken.
(c) What would have been the value of rate constant at 30 minutes?
Answer:
For first order reaction,
Rate constant, k = \(\frac{-2.303}{t}\)
log \(\frac{[A]_0}{[A]}\)
k = \(\frac{-2.303}{30}\)log\(\frac{100}{400}\)
k = – 0.076[log 1 – log 4]
k = – 0.076[-0.602] = 0.046 min-1
Or
What is the predicted half-life period (t1/2) of the reaction?
[4]
Answer:
Half-life period (t1/2) for first order reaction
is
t1/2 = \(\frac{0.693}{k}\)
For k = 0.304, t1/2 =
\(\frac{0.693}{0.304}\) = 228 min.
Question 30.
Molar conductivity can be expressed by an equation of
type:
\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\) (Greek lambda) = \(\frac{\kappa}{C}\)
In
the above equation, if \(\kappa\) is expressed in Sm-1 and the
concentration C in mol m-3, then the units of
\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\) are in S m2 mol-1.
Conductivity changes can frequently be useful for studying the reactions of metal complexes in solution. Molar conductivities (\(\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\)) are normally determined using 1 × 10-3 M solutions of the complexes.
The study of the effect of concentration and ionic size on the molar conductivities of electrolytes has been a concern to many researchers. Measurement of conductivity is an important electro-analytical method used to access the performance of battery. This is because it reveals the extent of the ion-solvent interactions in the solution.
It’s application in the high energy density batteries, photochemical cells, electrode deposition, wet electrolytic capacitor and electro-organic synthesis are among the most important application of electrolytic conduction. Agricultural and environmental soil assessments are renowned applications of salinity measurements. Molar conductance, \(\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\), is Known to be the conducting power of all the ions produced by one mole of electrolyte in a given solution. It is well known that the flow of electricity through a solution of electrolytes is due to the migration of ions when potential difference is applied between the two electrodes.
Molar conductance of solutions are affected by ionic mobility, concentration, temperature and inter-ionic interactions. It is important to note that molar conductivity of both strong and weak electrolytes increases with the depletion in dilution.
Answer the following questions. [3]
(a) Why does the conductivity of a solution decreases with dilution ?
Answer:
Conductivity of an electrolyte solution decreases with dilution
because the number of ions per unit volume furnished by an electrolyte decreases
with dilution.
Or
How is the unit at malar conductivity arrived ?
Answer:
(b) The molar conductivity of a 1.5 M solution of an electrolyte is found to
be 138.9 S cm2mol-1. Calculate the conductivity of this
solution. [3]
Answer:
Molar conductivity, \(\Lambda_m\) = 138.9 S
cm2 mol-1
Molarity = 1.5 M; conductivity \(\kappa\)
=?
Molar conductivity, \(\Lambda_m\) = \(\frac{\kappa \times 1000}{\text {
Molarity }}\)
or \(\kappa\) = \(\frac{\Lambda_m \times \text { Molarity }}{1000}\)
=
\(\frac{138.9 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \times 1.5
\mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}}{1000 \mathrm{~cm}^3 \mathrm{~L}^{-1}}\)
=
0.208 S cm-1
(c) X and Y are two electrolytes. On dilution molar conductivity of ‘X’
increases 2.5 times, while that of Y increases 25 times. Which of the two is a
weak electrolyte and why? [3]
Answer:
Y is a weak electrolyte. On
dilution, complete dissociation of weak electrolyte occurs and thus there is a
steep increase in molar conductivity.
However, in case of strong electrolyte,
it already dissociated completely therefore on dilution, the rise in
conductivity is not very much, e.g.

long answer type and carry 5 internal choice.)
Question 31.
Attempt any five of the following.
(a) Why Cr2+
is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2+ in aqueous solution? [5]
Answer:
Cr2+([Ar] 3d4) changes to Cr3+
([Ar]3d3), while Fe2+ ([Ar]3d6) changes to
Fe3+ ([Ar] 3d5).
In aqueous medium, the configuration
[Ar] 3d3 (or\(t_{2 g}^3\)) is more stable than the configuration [Ar]
3d5. Hence, Cr2+ is a stronger reducing agent.
(b) Why copper atom is considered as a transition element although it has
completely filled d-orbitals (3d10)?
Answer:
Because it has
incompletely filled d-orbitals in one of its common oxidation states. i.e.
Cu2+ ([An]3d9).
(c) Why iron has higher enthalpy of atomisation than that of copper?
Answer:
Greater the number of unpaired electron, stronger will be bonding and
thus, enthalpy of atomisation will also be more.
Since iron has more unpaired
electron than copper therefore, its enthalpy of atomisation is more.
(d) Explain the observation, Zn2+ salts are white while
Ni2+ salts are blue.
Answer:
Electronic configuration of
Zn2+ = 3d10 4s0
Electronic configuration of Ni2+ =
3d84s0
Compounds that contains unpaired electrons are coloured,
That’s why Zn2+ salts are white/colourless while Ni2+
salts are blue.
(e) What are the inner-transition elements?
Answer:
Inner-transition
elements (or f-block elements) include lanthanoids (Z = 58 to 71) and actinoids
(Z = 90 to 103). These elements have incomplete f-orbital in penultimate shell
of their atoms.
(f) Write any one difference between the chemistry of lanthanoid and actinoid
elements.
Answer:
Lanthanoids do not form oxocations while actinoids form
oxocations such as \(\mathrm{UO}_2^{2+}\), \(\mathrm{PuO}_2^{2+}\),
\(\mathrm{UO}_2^{+}\).
(g) How do you prepare K2MnO4 from MnO2?
Answer:

Question 32.
(a) Calculate the freezing point of solution when 1.9 g of
MgCl2 (M = 95 g mol-1)was dissolved in 50 g of water,
assuming MgCl2 undergoes complete ionisation.
(Kf for
water = 1.86 K kg mol-1) [5]
Answer:
MgCl2 →
Mg2+ + 2Cl–
1 mole of MgCl2 gives 3 moles of
particles.
∴ i = 3
∆Tf = iKfm
Given,
W1 = Weight of H2O (solvent) = 50 g
w2 =
Weight of MgCl2 (solute) = 1.9 g
T°f = 273.15 K
Kf =1.86 K kg mol-1
M2 = Molar mass of
solute = 95 g mol-1
∆Tf = \(\frac{i K_f \times 1000
\times W_2}{M_2 \times W_1}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 1.86 \mathrm{~K}
\mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \times 1000 \times 1.9 \mathrm{~g}}{95
\mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \times 50 \mathrm{~g}}\)
∆Tf =
2.232K
Also, ∆Tf = T°f – Tf;
Tf = T°f – ∆Tf;
= 273.15 – 2.232 = 270.918

(b) (i) Out of 1 M glucose and 2 M glucose, which one has a higher boiling
point and why? [5]
(ii) What happens when the external pressure applied
becomes more than the osmotic pressure of the solution?
Answer:
(i) 2M
glucose has higher boiling point because more the concentration, more is the
elevation in boiling point.
(ii) When the external pressure applied becomes
more than the osmotic pressure of solution, reverse osmosis takes place.
Or
(a) When 2.56 g of sulphur was dissolved in 100 g of CS2, the
freezing point gets lowered by 0.383 K. Calculate the formula of sulphur
(Sx). [5]
(Kf for CS2 = 3.83 K kg
mol-1, Atomic mass of sulphur = 32 g mol-1)
Answer:
Given, Weight of solvent (w1) = 100g
Weight of solute
(w2) = 2.56 g
M2 = 256g/mol
Molecular mass = n × Atomic
mass
n \(=\frac{\text { Molecular mass }}{\text { Atomic mass }}\) =
\(\frac{256}{32}\) = 8
∴ Formula of sulphur is S8.
(b) Blood cells are isotonic with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. What happens
if we place blood cells in a solution containing
(i) 1.2% sodium chloride
solution?
(ii) 0.4% sodium chloride solution?
Answer:
(i) If we place
the blood cells in a solution containing more than 0.9% (mass/volume) sodium
chloride solution, water will flow out of the cells and they would shrink. This
process is called plasmolysis.
(ii) If the salt concentration is less than
0.9% (mass/volume), then the water will flow into the cells and they would
swell.
Question 33.
An aromatic compound ‘A’ of molecular formula
C7H6ON undergoes a series of reactions as shown below.
Write the structures of A, B, C, D and E in the following reactions. [5]
Answer:
Or
(a) Account for the following.
(i) CH3NH2 is more
basic than C6H5NH2.
(ii) Cyclohexanone forms
cyanohydrin and gives good yield but 2,2,6-trimethyl- cyclohexanone does
not.
(iii) Aromatic diazonium salts are more stable than aliphatic diazonium
salt.
Answer:
(i) In C6H5NH2, the lone
pair of electron on N is delocalised over the benzene ring and becomes less
available for protonation. The lone pair on CH3NH2 is
localised and much more susceptible to protonation. Thus,
CH3NH2 is more basic.
(ii)
In 2, 2, 6-trimethylcyclohexanone, total three methyl groups
are present at a-position with respect to the ketonic
group.
Therefore, these groups cause steric hindrance
during the nucleophilic attack of CN– ion. So, cyanohydrin is not
formed.
Due to the absence of methyl group in cyclohexanone, there is no
steric hindrance and cyanohydrin is formed.
(iii) Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of
aliphatic amines due to the delocalisation of the positive charge on the benzene
ring as shown by resonating structure.
(b) Arrange the following in the
(i) increasing order of their
pKb values.
C6H5NH2,
C2H5NH2,
C6H5NHCH3
(ii) increasing order of their
boiling point.
C2H5NH2,
C2H5OH, (CH3)3N
Answer:
(i)
C2H5NH2 <
C6H5NHCH3 <
C6H5NH2
(ii) (CH3)3N
< C2H5NH2 <
C2H5OH
