Solubility of a substance is its maximum amount that can be dissolved in a specified
amount of solvent.
Solubility of gases in liquids decreases with rise in temperature. 1
24)
The amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode during electrolysis 1
by a current is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the
electrolyte (solution or melt).
The amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of
electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional to 1
their chemical equivalent weights (Atomic Mass of Metal ÷ Number of
electrons required to reduce the cation).

high ionic charges and the availability of d orbitals for bond
formation.(any two)

Step3:Na2Cr2O7+2KCl→K2Cr2O7+ 2NaCl One mark for each step
28) The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium (or across 1
the lanthanoid series) is called lanthanoid contraction.
The radii of the members of the third transition series to be very similar to those of the 1
corresponding members of the second series.
Account for their occurrence together in nature and for the difficulty faced in their 1
separation
29) The actinoids are radioactive elements. 1
The latter members could be prepared only in nanogram quantities. 1
Because the distribution of oxidation states among the actinoids is so uneven and so
different for the earlier and latter elements, it is unsatisfactory to review their chemistry 1
in terms of oxidation states.
30) a) Interstitial compounds are those which are formed when small atoms like H, C 1
or N are trapped inside the crystal lattices of metals.
b) 10I−+2MnO4−+16H+→2Mn2++8H2O+ 5I2 1

V Answer any two of the folowing. Each question carries 3marks: marks: 2 ×3 =6
31) Limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be represented as the sum of the 1
individual contributions of the anion and cation of the electrolyte.
It is possible to calculate limiting molar conductivity for any electrolyte from the o of 1
individual ions.
For weak electrolytes like acetic acid it is possible to determi

38) a)i)C—Cl bond acquires a partial double bond character due to resonance. As a 1
result, the bond cleavage in haloarene is difficult than haloalkane.
ii) The sp2 hybridised carbon in haloarene with a greater s-character is more
electronegative and can hold the electron pair of C—X bond more tightly than sp3- 2
hybridised carbon in haloalkane with less s-chararcter.
b)

Chlorobenzene

39) a) It states that “in dehydrohalogenation reactions, the preferred product is 1

that alkene which has the greater number of alkyl groups attached to the
doubly bonded carbon atoms.”

ex: 2-Bromopentane gives Pent-2-ene as the major product.

b) If all the substituents attached to that carbon are different, such a carbon is 1
called asymmetric carbon or stereocentre.

The objects which are non- superimposable on their mirror image (like a pair of
hands) are said to be chiral and this property is known as chirality. 1

A mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions will have zero optical
rotation, as the rotation due to one isomer will be cancelled by the rotation due to
the other isomer. Such a mixture is known as racemic mixture or racemic 1
modification.
