29. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [4]
The unique behaviour of Cu, having a positive E° accounts for its inability to liberate H2 from acids. Only
oxidising acids (nitric and hot concentrated sulphuric) react with Cu, the acids being reduced. The stability of the

half-filled d sub-shell in Mn2+ and the completely filled d10 configuration in Zn2+ are related to their E° values,
whereas E° for Ni is related to the highest negative Δ hyd H°. An examination of the E o
3+ 2+
values the low
(M /M )

value for Sc reflects the stability of Sc3+ which has a noble gas configuration. The comparatively high value for

Mn shows that Mn2+(d5) is particularly stable, whereas a comparatively low value for Fe shows the extra
stability of Fe3+ (d5). The comparatively low value for V is related to the stability of V2+ (half-filled t2g level).

 Solution

Section A

1. (a) All of these

Explanation: Since halogen atoms are more electronegative than carbon, the carbon-halogen bond of alkyl halide is polarized;
the carbon atom bears a partial positive charge whereas the halogen atom bears a partial negative charge.
2. (a) ∝ -D-glucose
Explanation: A disaccharide, maltose is composed of two α-D-glucose units in which C1 of one glucose (I) is linked to C4 of
another glucose unit (II).
3.
(c) i, ii, iii
Explanation:
Preparation of phenols from haloarenes: Chlorobenzene is an example of haloarenes which is formed by
monosubstitution of the benzene ring. When chlorobenzene is fused with sodium hydroxide at 623K and 320 atm
sodium phenoxide is produced. Finally, sodium phenoxide on acidification gives phenols.
Preparation of phenols from diazonium salts: When an aromatic primary amine is treated with nitrous (NaNO2 +
HCl) acid at 273 - 278 K, diazonium salts are obtained. These diazonium salts are highly reactive in nature. Upon
warming with water, these diazonium salts finally hydrolyse to phenols. Phenols can also be obtained from diazonium
salts by treating it with dilute acids.
Preparation of phenols from benzene sulphonic acid: Benzenesulphonic acid can be obtained from benzene by
reacting it with oleum. Benzenesulphonic acid thus formed is treated with molten sodium hydroxide at high temperature
which leads to the formation of sodium phenoxide. Finally, sodium phenoxide on acidification gives phenols.

4.
(b) C4H8O2
Explanation: Its molecular formula is C4H8O2 and its chemical formula is CH3COOC2H5.

5.
(c) Zero order
Explanation: light-dependent Photochemical reaction between H2 and Cl2 [H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)] is 0 (zero) w.r.t. to
reactants.
6.
(b) (a) - (iv), (b) - (iii), (c) - (ii), (d) - (i)
Explanation: (a) - (iv), (b) - (iii), (c) - (ii), (d) - (i)
7.
(c) Butane < 1-Chlorobutane < 1-Bromobutane < 1-Iodobutane
Explanation: Due to the polar nature of alkyl halides and the increase in molecular weight compared to their parent alkanes,
the boiling points of alkyl halides are higher than that of their parent alkanes. The boiling points of alkyl halides depend on the
molecular mass and the size of the halogen atom (decrease from I to F). With the increase in size, mass, and the number of
electrons in halogen atoms, the magnitude of Van Der Waals forces increase and the boiling point also increases. The boiling
point of alkyl halides reduces in the order RI > RBr > RCl > RF.
Therefore, the order of increasing order of boiling points should be Butane < 1-Chlorobutane < 1-Bromobutane < 1-
Iodobutane.
8.
(b) Hard and brittle
Explanation: Red hot steel rods on suddenly immersing in water become hard and brittle.

2.95×24×60×60

10.
(d) CH3COCH3
Explanation: CH3COCH3 will not give a silver mirror test (Tollens Test). Tollens test is given by aldehydes only and HCOOH
is the only acid that gives tollen's test. Ketones do not give tollen's test.
11. (a) methoxyethane
Explanation: Ether reacts with HI to form alcohol and alkyl iodide. Alcohol on oxidation will give the iodoform test.
12.
(d) Benzene sulphonyl chloride
Explanation: Benzene sulphonyl chloride, C6H5SO2Cl2, is called Hinsberg reagent. It is used to distinguish between primary,
secondary and tertiary amines.
13.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Insulin is a globular protein. This protein has a three-dimensional folded structure. These are stabilised by
internal hydrogen bonding, hence, they are water-soluble.
14.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: The assertion is true that the aldehydes have an oxygen atom that can form a hydrogen bond with the hydrogen
atoms of water. So lower aldehydes are soluble in water. But as the chain length increases, the hydrophobic part (the alkyl
chain) dominates over the hydrophilic part (the polar -CHO group). So higher molecular weight aldehydes are insoluble in
water but lower molecular weight aldehydes are easily soluble in water.
The reason is also correct because aldehydes form a silver mirror with Tollen reagent but ketones do not.
15.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: As the size of the alkyl groups increases, the SN2 reactivity decreases, further C - Cl bond is stronger and more
difficult to cleave than C - Br bond. So CH3Br is more reactive than (CH3)2CHCl.

16.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: A is true but R is false.

19. Answer the following:
(i) Rate = k [NO]2 [H ]1
2
(ii) The activation energy for combustion reactions of fuels is very high at room temperature, therefore, they do not burn by
themselves at room temperature.
20. Van't Hoff factor: Van't hoff factor 'i' is a correction factor defined as the ratio between the actual concentration of particles
produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass.
Observed value of colligative property

 When the new forces of attraction between components are greater than those in the pure components. That is when two
components A and B are mixed, the interactions between A....B is greater than A...A and B...B interaction then the binary non-
ideal solution would show negative deviation from Raoult's law.
21. Boiling point depends upon the size of the molecules, branching in the molecules and intermolecular forces of attraction between
the molecules.
On the basis of this, the increasing order of boiling point are:
CH3CH2CH3 < CH3OCH3 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH
Section C
22. Galvanic cells ( or Voltaic cells) that are designed to convert the energy of combustion of fuels like hydrogen, methane, methanol,
etc. directly into electrical energy are called fuel cells. In these cells, the reactants are continuously supplied to electrodes. One of
the most successful fuel cells uses the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen to form water as shown in the figure.

The cell was used for providing electrical power in the Apollo space programme. The water vapours produced during the reaction
were condensed and added to the drinking water supply for the astronauts. In the cell, hydrogen and oxygen are bubbled through
porous carbon electrodes into concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Catalysts like finely divided platinum or
palladium metal are incorporated into the electrodes for increasing the rate of electrode reactions.
The electrode reactions are given below:
Cathode : O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e- → 4OH-(aq)

Anode : 2H2(g) + 4OH-(aq) → 4H2O(l)

Overall reaction being:
2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2(g)
The cell runs continuously as long as the reactants are supplied. Fuel cells produce electricity with an efficiency of about 70%
compared to thermal plants whose efficiency is about 40%. There has been tremendous progress in the development of new
electrode materials, better catalysts and electrolytes for increasing the efficiency of fuel cells. These have been used in
automobiles on an experimental basis. Fuel cells are pollution free and in view of their future importance, a variety of fuel cells
have been fabricated and tried.

23. i. For a reaction, H + Cl ⟶ 2HCl

2 2

Rate= k, suggests that the reaction is of zero order. Further, the molecularity of a given reaction is 2 as two molecules are
participating in the reaction.
Hence, order = zero and molecularity = two.
ii. The unit of k for zero order reaction is equal to the rate of a reaction which is mol L-1s-1.
Hence, the unit of k for the given reaction is mol L-1s-1.

27. Haloarenes: The replacement of hydrogen atoms in a aromatic hydrocarbon by halogen atoms results in the formation of aryl
halide (haloarene). Haloarenes contain halogen atoms attached to sp2 hybridized carbon atoms of an aryl group. They are
classified as:

29. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
The unique behaviour of Cu, having a positive E° accounts for its inability to liberate H2 from acids. Only oxidising acids (nitric

and hot concentrated sulphuric) react with Cu, the acids being reduced. The stability of the half-filled d sub-shell in Mn2+ and the
completely filled d10 configuration in Zn2+ are related to their E° values, whereas E° for Ni is related to the highest negative
Δhyd H°. An examination of the E o
3+ 2+
values the low value for Sc reflects the stability of Sc3+ which has a noble gas
(M /M )

configuration. The comparatively high value for Mn shows that Mn2+(d5) is particularly stable, whereas a comparatively low
value for Fe shows the extra stability of Fe3+ (d5). The comparatively low value for V is related to the stability of V2+ (half-filled

Page 11 of 14
 t2g level).

(i) Due to the removal of an electron from the stable d10 configuration of Zn2+.
OR
The Stability of Cu2+ is more than Cu+ as stability depends on the hydration energy of the ions when they bond to the
water molecules. The Cu2+ ion has a greater charge density than Cu+ ion and thus forms much stronger bonds releasing
more energy.
(ii) Transition metals despite having high E° oxidation, are poor reducing agents because of their high heat of vaporization,
high ionisation energies and low heats of hydration.
(iii)Cr2+ is reducing as its configuration changes from d to d , the having a half-filled t level. On the other hand, the
4 3 2g

change from Mn3+ to Mn2+ results in the half-filled (d5) configuration which has extra stability.
30. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
In order to overcome the scarcity of drinking water in a remote village in Gujarat, Arnav and Aariv two young entrepreneurs still
in their high school, have developed a unique water purifier that is capable of converting sea water into drinking water. It works
on the principle of concentration difference between two solutions.
(i) The product is based on the phenomenon of Reverse Osmosis between solutions of two different concentration.
(ii) When solutions of two different concentration are separated by a semipermeable membrane and excess pressure is
applied on the solution of higher concentration, solvent flow from higher concentration to lower concentration. This is
called Reverse Osmosis and same can be used to treat seawater and convert into drinking water.
(iii)Following arrangement must have been made:
i. Use of a semipermeable membrane.
ii. Separate Compartment having seawater and Drinking Water separated by semipermeable membrane.
iii. Excess pressure applied in compartment having sea water.
OR
NaCl is an electrolyte and gets dissociated to two ions (Na+ and Cl-) and exerts almost double osmotic pressure than
glucose which is a non-electrolyte and does not dissociate.
Section E
31. Attempt any five of the following:
(i) DNA ⟶ Deoxyribonucleic acid
RNA ⟶ Ribonucleic acid
(ii) Active site of enzymes holds the substrate molecule in a suitable position so that the enzyme help substrate can be
attacked by the reagent effectively.
(iii)Examples of reducing sugars - Maltose and Lactose.
(iv)The 2 strands of DNA are attached to each other by hydrogen bonds that connect the nitrogenous bases of one strand to
the bases of the other strand (this is called complementary base pairing) where Adenine pairs with Thymine by 2
hydrogen bonds and Guanine pairs with Cytosine using 3 hydrogen bonds.
While nucleotides of DNA are held together by Phosphodiester linkages. The structure of DNA holds the nucleotides in
place using phosphodiester bonds. A phosphodiester bond occurs when exactly two of the hydroxyl group in phosphoric
acid react with hydroxyl groups on other molecules to form two ester bonds. The phosphodiester bond is the linkage
between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5 ' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA.
(v) Invertase
