12 (b)Shows large negative deviation from Raoult’s law 1

13 (d) A is false but R is true. 1

14 (c ) A is true but R is false. 1

15 (a ) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A 1

16 (a) Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is correct explanation for assertion. 1
SECTION B
17 As ΔTb= iKbm 1/2+1+1/2= 2
(100.18 – 100) °C = i × 0.512 K kg mol-1 × 1 m

∴ i = 0.3
0.18 K = i × 0.512 K kg mol-1 × 1 m

18 Ecell = 0.91 V 1/2+1+1/2= 2

19 (a) From the graph of the concentration of A verse time (t) to show the equation of zero order reaction
i.e [A] = [A]0 – kt , here the slope is negative. 1+1/2+1/2= 2

(b) The slope of the curve is -k

(c) The unit of the rate constant = mol L-1 s-1

20 (i) Because carbocation formed gets stabilised through resonance. 1+1= 2
(ii) Because the byproducts of the reaction(SO 2 and HCl)being gases escape into
the atmosphere leaving behind alkyl chlorides in almost pure form.
OR
(i) m-dicholrobenzene < o-dicholrobenzene < p-dicholrobenze (
symmetrical structure and close packing in para isomer
ortho has a stronger dipole dipole interaction as compared to meta)
(ii ) The halogen atom because of its –I effect has some tendency to withdraw electrons from the benzene ring.
 As a result, the ring gets somewhat deactivated as compared to benzene and hence the electrophilic substitution
reactions in haloarenes occur slowly and require more drastic conditions as compared to those in benzene.
21 (a) 1+1= 2

( b ) Lactose on hydrolysis with dilute acids gives an equimolar mixture of D-glucose and D-galactose.

SECTION C
22 1/2+1+1+1/2= 3

OR

For the first order reaction,

23
(a) Both Ti3+ and Cu2+ have 1 unpaired electron, so the magnetic moment for both will be 1.73 BM 3
 1+1+1=
(b) Mn+ has 3d54s1 configuration and configuration of Cr+ is 3d5 , therefore, ionisation enthalpy of Mn+ is
lower than Cr+
(c ) In both chromate and dichromate ion the oxidation state of Cr is +6

24 (i) As isomer A reacts with AgNO3 to give a white precipitate, Cl must be present in the ionisation sphere.

As it does not react with BaCl2, SO42− must be present in the coordination sphere. 1+1+1/2+1/2 = 3

Therefore the formula of A = [Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl (coordination no. of Co = 6)

As reactions are reversed for isomer B, formula B = [Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4

(ii) The type of isomerism involved is Ionisation isomerism

(iii) The IUPAC name of

A = Pentaamminesulphatocobalt (III) chloride ,

B = Pentaamminechloridocobalt (III) sulphate.

25

(a) 1+1+1= 3

(b)

26 ( a ) When phenol is treated with bromine water, white ppt, of 2,4,6- tribromophenol is obtained.

1+1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2= 3
(b)
27 ( a ) NH2 group of aniline is acetylated first so that controlled nitration can occur at the para position. If the
NH2 group of aniline is not acetylated, then a mixture of ortho, meta and para products will form. 1+1+1= 3

(b) m-nitrotoluene is formed.

(c ) C6H5NH2<C6H5CH2NH2<(CH3)3N<CH3NH2<(CH3)2NH

28 (i) Because deficiency of vitamin A and vitamin C causes night blindness and scurvy respectively. 1+1+ 1= 3
(ii) Nucleoside : A nucleoside contains only two basic components of nucleic acids i.e. a pentose sugar and a
nitrogenous base. During their formation 1-position of the pyrimidine or 9-position of the purine moitey is
linked to C1 of the sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) by a β-linkage.

Nucleotides : A nucleotide contains all the three basic components of nucleic acids, i.e. a phosphoric acid
group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base. These are formed by esterification of C5‘ – OH of the sugar of
the nucleoside with phosphoric acid.

( i i i ) Maltose is a disaccharide.

SECTION D
29 (a) Solutions having equal osmotic pressure are called isotonic solutions. 1+1+2 4
(b) Cellulose acetate placed on a suitable support.
 (c) RBC’s are isotonic with 0.9% NaCl solution, so they will swell and may
even burst when placed in 0.5% NaCl solution.
OR
1M KCl will have higher osmotic pressure because its dissociates to give K + and
Cl- ions while urea does not dissociate into ions in the solution.

30 Since the aromatic compound, ‘A’ does not give Tollen’s reagent test or Fehling’s test, it is not an aromatic
aldehyde. It responds to the iodoform test, indicating a methyl ketone. 1+1+1+1= 4

The series of reactions involved are listed.

OR
(a) Benzene-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid
( b ) Phthalimide

(c) The conjugate base of carboxylic acid, a carboxylate ion, is stabilised by two equivalent
resonance structures in which the negative charge is at the more electronegative oxygen
atom. The conjugate base of phenol, a phenoxide ion, has non-equivalent resonance
structures in which the negative charge is at the less electronegative carbon atom.
Therefore, resonance in phenoxide ion is not as important as it is in carboxylate ion.
Further, the negative charge is delocalised over two electronegative oxygen atoms in
carboxylate ion whereas it is less effectively delocalised over one oxygen atom and less
electronegative carbon atoms in phenoxide ion.
(d) Carboxylic acids are higher boiling liquids than alcohols of comparable molecular masses.
This is due to more extensive association of carboxylic acid molecules through
intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The hydrogen bonds are not broken completely even in
the vapour phase.

Aliphatic carboxylic acids are more miscible in water due to the formation of hydrogen
bonds with water.
 SECTION E

31 (a) Reaction taking place at cathode when the battery is in use: 1+1+1+2= 5

PbO2(s) + SO4-2 (aq) +4H+(aq)+2e-1 PbSO₄(s) + 2H₂O (l)

(b) From above reaction

1 mole of PbO2 require 2F of electricity for reduction to PbSO 4.
(c ) It is commonly used in automobiles and invertors.(Any one)
(d) Molarity = % x density x 10 /Molar mass of H₂SO₄
= 38×1.294×10/ 98
= 5.017 mol L-1
OR

(i) Because after use it can be recharged by passing current through it in the
opposite direction.
(ii) 2H₂O(l) (dil)H₂SO₄ /Electrolysis 2H₂(g) + O 2(g)
(at cathode) (at anode)
32 (a) (i) This is because Eu²+ tends to change to Eu³+ as +3 is the common
oxidation state of lanthanoids. 1+1+1+1+1= 5
(ii)In alkaline medium, the orange colour of the solution changes to yellow due
to conversion o dichromate (Cr2O72-) ion to chromate (CrO4²-) ion.

Cr2O72- + 2OH- 2CrO42- +H₂O

Orange Yellow
OR
(a) (i)Write correct method of preparation (ii)Write correct method of
preparation.
(b)(i) Crystal field splitting: It is the splitting of the degenerate energy levels due to the presence of ligands.
When ligand approaches a transition metal ion, the degenerate d-orbitals split into two sets, one with lower
energy and the other with higher energy. This is known as crystal field splitting and the difference between
the lower energy set and higher energy set is known as crystal field splitting energy

Example : 3d5 of Mn2+

(ii) Linkage isomerism: When more than one atom in an ambidentate ligand is linked with central metal ion
to form two types of complexes, then the formed isomers are called linkage isomers and the phenomenon is
called linkage isomerism.
Example : — SCN thiocyanate, — NCS isothiocyanate

(iii) Ambidentate ligand: The monodentate ligands with more than one coordinating atoms is known as
ambidentate ligand. Monodentate ligands have only one atom capable of binding to a central metal atom or
ion. For example, the nitrate ion NO2– can bind to the central metal atom/ion at either the nitrogen atom or
one of the oxygen atoms.
33
(a) (i) 1+1+1+1+1= 5

(ii)

OR

followed by hydrolysis gives salicylaldehyde.

(ii ) Friedel-Craft’s acetylation of anisole :

( b ) (i) 4-Methoxy benzoic acid < Benzoic acid < 4-Nitrobenzoic acid < 3, 4-Dinitrobenzoic acid.
The order is due to increasing -I effect.
(ii ) By Iodoform test : Acetophenone being a methyl ketone on treatment with I 2/NaOH (NaOI) undergoes
iodoform test to give yellow ppt. of iodoform but benzaldehyde does not.

(iii)

IUPAC name : 2-methylpropan-2-ol
