1 The sum of powers of the concentration terms of the reactants in the rate law ex-
pression is called the order of that chemical reaction. 1

Or
P q
rate = k[A] [B]

Order of reaction = P+q

2 The catalytic reaction in which the pore structure of the catalyst and the size of the
reactant and product molecules are comparable. 1

3 The naturally occurring chemical substances which occur in the earth's crust and are
obtainable by mining are called minerals, while the mineral from which the element is
extracted economically is called an ore. 1

4 The regular decrease in the atomic and ionic radii / (having the same charge ) of
Lathanoids with increasing atomic number is known as Lanthanoid contraction. 1

9 We can determine the atomic mass of an unknown by using the formula.

M= d x a3 x NA 1
Z

By knowing d, a, NA & Z We can calculate the M

Where

d = density of the element

NA = Avogadro number 1

a = cell edge or edge length

Z = no. of atoms present in one unit cell.

10 Packing efficiency

= Z x volume of one atom 1

Volume of cubic unit cell

= 1 x 4/3 πr

For simple cubic lattice a= 2r

Therefore packing effieciency = 1 x 4/3 πr3

11 i) Raoult's law states that for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour
pressure of each component in the solution is directly proprtional to its mole
fraction. 1

ii) Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a
liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the solution. 1

 12 The representation of rate of reaction in terms of concentration of the reactants is
known as rate law. ½x4 = 2
The rate constant is defined as the rate of reaction when the concentration of reactants
is unity.

14 (i) In this method the titanium metal is heated with I2 to form a volatile compound
TiI4 which on further heating at higher temperature decomposes to give pure
titanium metal. (or explanation by chemical equations) 1
(ii) This method is based upon the fact that the surface of the sulphide ores is
preferentially wetted by oil while that of gangue is wetted by water. 1

15 (i) Cr2+ is reducing as its configuration changes from d4 to d3, the latter having
half filled t2g level whereas Mn3+ to Mn2+ results in half filled orbitals (d5) 1
ii) In a transition metal series the oxidation state first increases and then decreases;
At the middle it is maximum due to greater number of unpaired electron in
(n-l)d and ns orbitals. 1

i) Because Copper(I) ion is unstable in aqueous solution and undergoes dispro-
portionation.

occur.

20 They are of two types

i) Hydrophilic ii) hydrophobic ½+½

The hydrophile sol is more stable and reversible while hydrophobic sol is less stable
and is irreversible. 1

Hydrophilic sol e.g. → Starch, gum, gelatin etc. (anyone)

Hydrobhobic sol e.g → metal sulphide, metal hydroxide (anyone) 1

OR

i) Electrophoresis takes place when sol particles move towards opposite

electrodes due to attraction.

ii) Tyndall effect will be observed due to scattering of light by colloidal

particles.

iii) Coagulation takes place (due to neutralisation of charges.) 1x3= 3

21 i) Because bond dissociation enthalpy of H-S bond is lower that of H-O bond. /
oxygen is more electronegative than S.

 –
ii) In the resonance structure of these two species, in NO2 , 2 bonds are sharing
–
a double bond while in NO3 , 3 bonds are sharing a double bond which means
– –
that bond in NO2 will be shorter than in NO3 .

Or
– –
iii) In NO2 , bond order is 1.5 while in NO3 , bond order is 1.33 Because of
the tendency of oxygen to form multiple bonds with metal. 1x3 = 3

22 i) Ambident ligand: a unidentate ligand which can co-ordinate to the central metal
– –
atom through more than one co-ordinating bond.e.g. NO2 , SCN 1

ii) The number of donor atoms in ligating groups is known as denticity of that ligand.
2–
e.g. in C2O4 denticity is 2 (or any other example) 1

iii) Crystal field splitting in an Octahedral field: The splitting of d-orbitals under the
influence of approaching ligand is known as crystal field splitting for example for
4

 25 (i) Due to resonance in aniline, N acquires + charge which increases its pKb
whereas due to electron donating methyl group electron density increases on
N which decreases its pKb.

(ii) Due to formation of hydrogen bond with water ethyl amine is soluble in water
whereas due to bulky phenyl group aniline does not form H-bond and thus is
insoluble.

(iii) Due to hydrogen bonding in primary amines, they have higher boiling points
whereas there is no hydrogen bonding in tertiary amines. 1x3=3
