Section D
29. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
The involvement of (n - 1)d electrons in the behaviour of transition elements impart certain distinct
characteristics to these elements. Thus, in addition to variable oxidation states, they exhibit paramagnetic
behaviour, catalytic properties and tendency for the formation of coloured ions. The transition metals react with
a number of non-metals like oxygen, nitrogen and halogens. KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7 are common examples.

The two series of inner transition elements, lanthanoids and actinoids, constitute the f-block of the periodic table.
In the lanthanoids, there is regular decrease in atomic size with increase in atomic number due to the imperfect
shielding effect of 4f-orbital electrons which causes contraction.
Answer the following questions:
a. Why do transition metals and their compounds act as good catalysts? (1)
b. What is the cause of contraction in the atomic size of lanthanoids? (1)
c. Define lanthanoid contraction. How does it affect the atomic radii of the third transition series and the second
transition series? (2)
OR

c. In aqueous media, which is a stronger reducing agent - Cr2+ or Fe2+ and why? (2)
30. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
Many chemical and biological processes depend on osmosis, the selective passage of solvent molecules through
the porous membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated one. The osmotic pressure π depends on
molar concentration of the solution (π = CRT). If two solutions are of equal solute concentration and, hence,
have the same osmotic pressure, they are said to be isotonic. If two solutions are of unequal osmotic pressures,
the more concentrated solution is said to be hypertonic and the more diluted solution is described as hypotonic.
Osmosis is the major mechanism, for transporting water upward in the plants. Transpiration is the leaves
supports the transport mechanism of water. The osmotic pressure of seawater is about 30 atm; this is the pressure
that must be applied to the seawater (separated from pure water using a semi-permeable membrane) to get
drinking water.
i. What will happen if a plant cell kept in a hypertonic solution? (1)
ii. Blood cells are isotonic with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. What happens if we place blood cells in a
solution containing in 1.2% sodium chloride solution? (1)
