Explanations

Question 1 :

We know that the relation between molal elevation constant Kb and enthalpy of vaporisation is
2
M RT
b

given by Kb =
1000Evap

where Kb is the molal elevation constant.

M is the molar mass of the molecule.

Tb is the boiling point.

R is the universal gas constant.

Evap is the enthalpy of evaporation.

So, we have been provided with the following information.

−1
Kb = 3.32 K kg mol

∘
Tb = 110.7 C = 110.7 + 273 = 383.7K

−1
R = 8.314 Nm K

2
M RT
b
Boiling point elevation constant is given by Kb =
1000 Evap

2
92×8.314×(383.7)
So, putting the given values in the equation we get Evap =
1000×3.32

−1
⇒ Evap = 33.8 ≈ 34 K J mol

−1
Therefore, the enthalpy of vaporisation is approximately 34 K J mol .

Question 2 :

Structural isomerism is commonly defined as constitutional isomerism in which the functional

groups and the atoms in the molecules are linked in different manners and stereoisomerism is
the type of isomerism that arises in compounds that have the same chemical formula but
different orientations of the atoms belonging to the molecule in three-dimensional space.
Geometric isomers are the type of stereoisomerism it can also be known by the cis-trans
isomers and these isomers have different spatial arrangements of atoms in three-dimensional
space.

To see which one will give a geometrical isomer first write the structure of every option:

A. 2 -butene

This can show cis and trans isomer so we can say that it shows geometrical isomerism.

B. Propene

Cis and trans not possible.

C. 1-phenylpropene

Cis and trans not possible.

D. 2 -methyl-2-butene

Cis and trans not possible.

Question 3 :

Acetaldehyde and acetone both react with the Grignard reagent to give secondary and tertiary
alcohols respectively.

While Fehling's reagent, Tollen's reagent, and Schiff's reagent are reduced by only aldehydes
(i.e., acetaldehyde).

Question 4 :

(i) Find empirical formula.

(ii) Among hydrocarbons, alkynes and arenes have the same empirical formula.

(iii) Among hydrocarbons alkene and alkyne decolourise bromine water but alkane and arenes
do not.
 12 1
Given, C = × 100%, H = × 100%
13 13

∴ C = 92.3%H = 7.69%

92.3 7.69
C = = 7.69 = = 1
12 7.69

7.69 7.69
H = = 7.69 = = 1
1 7.69

Therefore, empirical formula of hydrocarbon is C1 H1 = CH

∵ A has empirical formula CH and decolourises bromine water.

Therefore, it is alkyne which is C2 H2 .

∵ B has empirical formula CH and does not decolourise bromine water.

Therefore, it is benzene C6 H6 .

Question 5 :

In option A, the oxidation state of metal Mn in MnO2 is calculated as shown below:

Let us consider the oxidation state of metal Mn as x.

Since the overall charge on the complex is 0, the sum of oxidation states of all elements in it
should be equal to 0.

Therefore, x + 2(−2) = 0

x − 4 = 0

x = +4

Therefore, the oxidation state of metal Mn in MnO2 is +4 and similarly, the oxidation state of
metal Cr in CrO2 Cl2 is +6.

3−
Similarly, in option B, the oxidation state of metal Fe in [Fe(CN)6 ] is +3 and similarly, the
2−
oxidation state of metal Cu in [Cu(CN)4 ] is +2.

−
In option C the oxidation state of metal Fe in [FeCl4 ] is +3 and the oxidation state of metal
Co in Co2 O3 is also +3.

2−
In option D the oxidation state of metal Ni is [NiCl4 ] is +2 and the oxidation state of metal
2−
Co in [CoCl4 ] is +2.

So, according to the individual oxidation state of each compound, the highest oxidation state of
Mn and Cr is highest.

Thus, the compound of option A has the highest oxidation state.

Question 6 :
Remember the following points:

(i) Alkali and alkaline earth metals are most electropositive. Alkali metals are more
electropositive than alkaline earth metals.

(ii) In the d-block series, the elements near alkaline earth metals are more electropositive than
the rest of the members.

(iii) Metalloids are less electropositive than metals.

(iv) Halogens (Non-metals) are least electropositive. In the halogen group, the electropositive
character increases as the atomic number increases.

By keeping the above points in mind the correct order will be:

Rb > Ca > Sc > Fe > Te > Br > F

Question 7 :

Purified Chromite ore with Aluminium powder is used to obtained Chromium.

The reaction is as follows:

Cr2 O3 + 2Al → 2Cr + Al2 O3

Chromite Oxide reacts with Aluminium to produce chromium and Aluminium oxide. It’s a simple
displacement reaction in which the oxygen attaches itself to the aluminium to produce
Chromium. This reaction is used in industries and labs to refine Chromium from its
Ores. Chromium is used in steel and Chrome plating due to its lustrous properties and low
corrosion.

Question 8 :

Given:

3Cl2 /Δ Br2 /Fe Zn/HCl

C7 H8 ⟶ A ⟶ B ⟶ C

The reaction in the above road map can be explained by the following steps.

Step I Toluene undergoes side-chain halogenation with excess chlorine to give benzotrichloride
(A).
Step II In compound A, the substituent CCl3 is an electron-withdrawing group, so the
electrophile will attack at m-position. Thus, benzotrichloride reacts with bromine in presence of
Fe-catalyst to give m− bromobenzotrichloride (B).

Step III m-bromobenzotrichloride undergoes reduction with Zn in presence of HCl to give m-

bromotoluene (C).

Question 9 :

lonisation isomers are the complexes that produces different ions in solution, i.e., they have
ions interchanged inside and outside the coordination sphere. [Cr(H2 O)4 Cl (NO2 )] Cl and
[Cr(H2 O) Cl2 ] NO2
4
have different ions inside and outside the coordinate sphere and they
are isomers.

Therefore, they are ionisation isomers.

Question 10 :

The Grignard reagent reacts with compounds having active or acidic hydrogen atom to give
alkane.

When CH3 MgX reacts with CH3 C ≡ C − H produce methane gas.

The reaction is:

CH3 MgX + CH3 C ≡ C − H → CH4 + CH3 − C ≡ MgX

Question 11 :

+ −
Glycine H3 N CH2 COO is more acidic than basic. Instead of Ka value, the second given
−14
Kb value is corresponding to the Kb value (∴ Ka × Kb = 10 ).

Thus, overall ionization constant,

 −3 −10 −13
K = Ka × Ka = 4.5 × 10 × 1.7 × 10 = 7.65 × 10
1 2

+
H = √KC

+ −13
H = √7.65 × 10 × 0.01

+ −14
H = √0.765 × 10

+ −8
H = 8.79 × 10 M

+
Thus, pH = − log[H ]

−8
= − log[8.79 × 10 ]

−8
= − (log 10 + log 8.7)

= 8 − 0.93 = 7.07 ≈ 7.1

Question 12 :

Given, Molar Mass M = 200 g

23
Number of atoms N = 24 × 10

Edge length a = 200 pm

The element having an FCC structure has a total of 4 atoms in a unit cell. The effective number
of atoms in unit cell Z = 4.

So, the mass of the unit cell is equal to the mass of the 4 atoms.

ZM
Then we know that the Mass of a unit cell is given by = where Z is the effective number
N

of atoms in the unit cell, M is molar mass, N is the Avogadro number or number of atoms.

On putting the values of the formula we get,

200
Mass of unit cell= 4 × 23
24×10

On solving we get,

−22
Mass of unit cell = 3.33 × 10 g .....(i)

Now the volume of the unit cell = (a)

3

On putting the values we get,

3
−10
Volume of unit cell = (200 × 10 ) cm
3

Then on solving we get,

−24
Volume of unit cell= 8 × 10 cm
3
.....(ii)
Now we have to calculate density:

And we know that:

Mass of unit cell

Density =
Volume of unit cell

On putting the values from eq. (i) and (ii) in the formula we get,
−22
3.33×10
Density = −24
8×10

On solving we get,

2
Density = 0.416 × 10

Density = 41.6 g cm
−3

Question 13 :

Let us first write the reaction of titanium with oxygen.

The reaction is as follows:

1.44T i + O → T i1.44 O1

From the above reaction, it is clear that 1.44 mole of T i reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to
produce 1 mole of T i1.44 O1 .

Weight of titanium involved in the above reaction is = number of moles of titanium ×

molecular mass

= 1.44 × 47.8 = 68.832 gm

68.832 gm of titanium reacts with oxygen to produce 84.8 gm of T i1.44 O1 .

1.44× molecular weight of [T i1.44 O1 ]

So, 1.44 gm of T i will produce =
Weight of Ti

1.44×84.8
⇒ = 1.77
68.832

Therefore, 1.77 gm of T i1.44 O1 will produce from the above reaction.

Question 14 :

The magnetic moment (μ) of a species is related to its number of unpaired electrons (n) in the
form of following expressions:

μ = √(n(n + 2BM (BM = Bohr magnetons)

The number of unpaired electrons in the given pairs are as follows:

2+ 2 2 6 2 6 6
Fe = 1s , 2s 2p , 3s 3p 3d
or

3+ 2 2 6 2 6 5
Fe = 1s , 2s 2p , 3s 3p 3d

or

+
NO or n = 0

NO or n = 1

This given combination differ in the number of unpaired electrons. Thus, these can be
differentiated by the measurement of the solid-state magnetic moment of nitroprusside ion.

Question 15 :

When H2 O2 is added to an ice-cold solution of acidified potassium dichromate in ether and the
contents are shaken and allowed to stand, a blue colour is obtained in ether due to formation of
CrO5 .

K2 Cr2 O7 + H2 SO4 + 4H2 O2 → 2CrO5 + K2 SO4 + 5H2 O

CrO5 has a butterfly-like structure possessing two peroxy bonds. Here the oxidation number of

chromium is +6. CrO5 is stable in ether forming a blue layer composed of CrO5 .

Question 16 :

As we see in this structure a cyano functional group (C ≡ N) is attached. We should know

that the suffix when naming a straight-chain alkanenitrile is always "nitrile". Here, we will also
need to find the longest chain of carbon atoms which is of five carbons. Remember that we
should start numbering the carbon chain in a way that the carbon-bearing functional group gets
a minimum number. So, in this structure, a methyl group is attached at the third position of
the chain. Thus, we have to name that also. So, from this discussion, we can say that the IUPAC
name of this structure is 3− methyl pentanenitrile.

Question 17 :
Glyptal is a polyester, is formed by ethylene glycol and phthalic acid formed by step-growth
polymerization as shown in the following reaction. Step-growth polymerization refers to a type
of polymerization mechanism in which bi-functional or multifunctional monomers react to form
first dimers, then trimers, longer oligomers and eventually long-chain polymers.

Question 18 :

When aniline is treated with cold concentrated sulphuric acid, anilinium hydrogen sulphate is
obtained. This on heating with concentrated sulfuric acid at 453 K to 473 K gives p-
aminobenzene sulphonic acid which is also known as sulphanilic acid.

Question 19 :

In a face centered cubic lattice, atom A occupies the corner positions. There are 8 corner
positions and each position contributes one eighth to the unit cell. So, the total number of A
atoms per unit cell.

1
× 8 = 1
8

The total number of A atoms per unit cell is 1.

Atom B occupied the face centre positions. There are six face centre positions. One atom of B
is missing from one of the face centered points. Thus, there are 5 face centre positions that are
occupied with B. Each such position contributes one half to the unit cell. Thus, the total number
of B atoms per unit cell.

1
× 5 = 2.5
2

The total number of B atoms per unit cell is 2.5.

So, the formula of the compound is AB2.5 or A2 B5 .

Question 20 :
In the case of vanadium (V), the atomic number is 23. Thus its outer electronic configuration is
3d 4s . Similarly, the outer electronic configuration for Chromium (Cr) with atomic number 24
3 2

is 3d 5 4s1 . In the case of Manganeses (Mn), the atomic number is 25. So electronic
configuration is 3d 5 4s2 and the electronic configuration for Iron (Fe) with atomic number 26
the electronic configuration is 3d 6 4s2 .

After removing one electron in each of the above cases the electronic configuration of each
atom will be:

+ 3 1
V = 3d 4s

+ 5
Cr = 3d

+ 5 1
Mn = 3d 4s

+ 6 1
Fe = 3d 4s

After removal the one electron, chromium gets a half-filled 3d electronic configuration which is
more stable as compared to the partial filled electronic configuration so it is quite difficult to
remove the second electron in the case of chromium hence the chromium have maximum
second ionization energy as compared to vanadium, manganese, and iron.

Question 21 :

Step 1:

Phosphorous is a group 15 element. The first member of group 15 i.e., nitrogen forms oxide
whose structure is different from the oxides of the other elements as it has the ability to form
pπ − pπ multiple bonds.

Step 2:

The remaining elements of Group 15 i.e., phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth are
unstable to form pπ − pπ multiple bonds. Thus, their oxides usually possess a cage-like
structure.

Step 3:

In P4 O10 each phosphorus atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms. With one oxygen atom
phosphorus forms a double bond and with the other three oxygen atoms, it forms a single bond.

Thus, the total number of sigma bonds for each phosphorus atom is three for the three P − O
single bonds and one for the one P = O double bond, so a total of four sigma bonds.

Step 4:

There are four phosphorus atoms present in P4 O10 . So, the total number of sigma bonds
present in the compound is 4 × 4 = 16 and the total number of π bonds are 4 × 1 = 4.

Thus, P4 O10 contains 16 sigma bonds.

Hence, the correct answer is 16.

Question 22 :

It is given that first and second ionization energies of Mg are 7.646 and 15.035 eV
2+
respectively. So, after two ionization Mg converts into Mg so, the total energy required to
2+
convert the Mg into Mg will be the sum of first and second ionization energy.

So, 7.646 + 15.035 = 22.681 eV

Now, we will convert the above energy from eV into kJ as follows:

Given, 1 eV = 96.5 k/mol

22.681 eV = 2188.7 kJ/mol

2+
So, the energy required to convert one mole Mg atom into Mg ions is 96.5 kJ/mol.

Now, we will determine the mole of Mg present in 12 mg of magnesium vapour as follows:

First, we will convert the amount of magnesium vapour form mg to gram as follows:

−3
1 mg = 10 gram

−3
12 mg = 12 × 10 gram

The mole formula is as follows:

mass
Mole =
molar mass

Molar mass of Mg is 24 g/mol.

−3
On substituting 12 × 10 gram for mass and 24 g/mol for molar mass,

−3
12×10
Mole =
24

−3
Mole = 0.5 × 10

2+
So, we know that the energy required to convert one mole Mg atom into Mg ions is
−3
96.5 k/mol so, the energy will be required to convert the 0.5 × 10 mole is,

One mole Mg = 96.5 kJ

−3
0.5 × 10 mol = 1.1 kJ

2+
So, the amount of energy in k, needed to convert all the atoms of magnesium into Mg ions
present in 12 mg of magnesium vapour is 1.1 kJ.

Hence, the correct answer is 1.1.

Question 23 :

Let's look at the solution to the given question:

The disintegration of radioactive substances is a first-order reaction. This means that the rate
of disintegration is dependent on the concentration of one of the reactants only.

Radioactive substances are highly unstable and keep on emitting energy continuously. Uranium,
thorium, etc, are some examples of radioactive substances.

It is given in the question that,

No = 256g, T = 18 hours and t1/2 = 3 hours.

First we will calculate 'n':

T
n =
t1/2

where, T is the time taken in disintegration and T1/2 is the half- life of the substance.

18
On putting the values given in the question, we get, n = = 6
3

Now, we will use the formula and calculate the amount of undecayed isotope left.
n
1
N = No ( )
2

Where N is the amount of substance left undecayed.

No is the initial amount of the substance.

On putting the values given in the question, we get,

6
1
N = 256( )
2

Therefore, N = 4 g

So, the mass of the isotope left undecayed after 18 hours is 4 g.

Hence, the correct answer is 4.

Question 24 :

Weight loss is due to conversion of NaHCO3 to Na2 CO3 .

2NaHCO3 → Na2 CO3 + CO2 + H2 O

2 mol 1 mol

2 mol of NaHCO3 corresponds to 2 × 84 = 168 g

1 mol of Na2 CO3 = 106 g

So, loss in weight = 168 − 106 = 62 g

or, we can say that 31 g weight is lost per mole of NaHCO3 and, 5% of 6.2 g of mixture is
lost.

0.3 0.3
i.e., 0.3 g of weight loss occurs from mol of NaHCO3 producing mol of Na2 CO3 .
31 62
Total moles of Carbonate = Total moles of BaCl2

So, M1 × 10 = 0.2 × 7.5

or M1 = 0.15M

i.e., Molarity of carbonate is 0.15M

0.15×100
So, moles of carbonate in 100ml solution = = 0.015 mol
1000

0.3
Now moles of carbonate in original sample = 0.015 − = 0.01
62

Mass of Na2 CO3 in original sample = 0.01 × 106 = 1.06 g

Hence, the correct answer is 1.06.

Question 25 :

−30
We are given that the dipole moment of H Br is 2.6 × 10 C − m and the inter atomic
˚
spacing is 1.41A .

We have to calculate its ionic character percentage. Ionic character percent is the amount of
electron sharing between two atoms and if the electrons are shared limitedly then the ionic
character percent of the molecule will be high.

The dipole moment can be obtained by the formula μ = BL × q.

where BL is the bond length and q is the charge of the electron. Bond length is the length of
interatomic spacing.

˚ −19
Bond length is 1.41A and charge of an electron is 1.6 × 10 C.

⇒ μ = BL × q

˙ −10
˚
⇒ 1A = 10 m

˚ −19
⇒ BL = 1.41A, q = 1.6 × 10 C

−10 −19 −29
