elements have nearly equal atomic radii & similar chemical properties.
(b) Cu2+ of CuCl2 solution is more stable in aqueous medium having d9 configuration. It is

(c) On hydrolysis, dextrorotatory sucrose forms a mixture of glucose & fructose having
specific rotations +52.5ᶱ and – 92.4ᶱ respectively. So, net rotation of result mixture

 (b) Phenyl group in aniline is water repelling so, aniline is water insoluble but 1
with dil.HCl, it forms water soluble salt.
Ar-NH2 + HCl  Ar-NH3+Cl- (water soluble)
(c) Ar-NH2 with nitrous acid forms colourless oily in HCl at 0 - 5ᶱC but Ar-CH2-
NH2 (aliphatic 1° amine)with nitrous acid HCl at 0-5ᶱC forms bubbles of N2 gas or
any other test with other reagent. 1

(a) The increasing pKb values: p-toluidine < aniline < p-nitroaniline as basic 1
strength follows: p-nitroaniline < aniline < p-toluidine.
The -CH3 group in p-toluidine is an electron donating group (+I effect) which
increases electron density on N atom in -NH2 group & basic strength increases. 1
The -NO2 group in p-nitroaniline is an electron withdrawing group (- I effect)
which decreases electron density on N atom of -NH2 group. So, basic strength
decreases……...

32 (a) ∆solH = -ve (exothermic) So, non-ideal solution with negative deviation. 1
(b) At higher altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is less than at ground level.
According to Henry’s law, this leads to low concentration of oxygen in blood and the
tissues of the people living at higher altitudes. As a result of low oxygen in the blood, 1
the people become weak and unable to think clearly. These are the symptoms of a
condition known as anoxia.
(c) We know that colligative property is directly proportional to the number of solute
particles in solution & inversely proportional to the molar mass of solute in solution,
Hence, Molar mass of solute is inversely proportional to the number of solute particles
in solution. The abnormal molar mass of solute is observed when solute undergoes
dissociation or association in solution.
(1) Dissociation: In case of dissociation of ionic solid as solute in solution, more ions are
forms, no. of particles (ions) increases 1
(2) Association: In case of association of solute in solution, the associated molecules are
formed, no. of particles. decrease, hence colligative property increases & hence molar
mass of solute particles increases.
