SECTION-D
29 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:- 4
Carbohydrates are primary produced by plants and form a very large group of naturally
occurring organic compounds. Some common examples of carbohydrates are cane sugar,
glucose, starch etc. Most of them have general formulas Cx(H2O)y and were considered
as hydrates of carbon from where the name of carbohydrates was derived. For example,
the molecular formula of glucose fits into this general formula(C6H12O6).But all the
compounds which fit into this formula, may not be classified as carbohydrate. For
example, acetic acid CH3COOH fits into the general formula C2(H20)2 but is not a
carbohydrate. Similarly, rhamnose(C6H12O6) is a carbohydrate but does not fit in this
definition. A large no of their reactions has shown that they contain specific function
group. Chemically the carbohydrate me define as optically active polyhydroxy aldehyde
or ketone or the compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis. Some of the
carbohydrates, which are sweet in taste, are also called sugars. The most common sugar
used in our homes is named as sucrose whereas the sugar present in milk is known as
lactose. Carbohydrates are also called saccharides.
The following question are multiple choice question. Choose the most appropriate
answer:
i. Which of the following is a carbohydrates?
(a) CH3CONH2 (b) C12H22O11 (c) CH3CH(CH3)NH2 (d) CH3COOH

d) Galactose
OR
v. What do you mean by carbohydrates?
30 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:- 4
Amines are derivatives of ammonia in which one or more of the hydrogens has been
replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. For the naming of Amines in the IUPAC system: the
“e” ending of the alkane name for the longest chain is replaced with –amine. The amine
group is located by the position number. Groups that are attached to the nitrogen atom
are located using “N” as the position number. More complex primary amines are named
with —NH2 as the amino substituent. Aromatic amines: named as derivatives of the
parent compound aniline. Substituents attached to the nitrogen are indicated by using
“N-” as the location number.

SECTION D
The following questions are case -based questions. Each question has an internal choice and carries
4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
29.Electrochemistry concerns chemical phenomena associated with charge separation, usually in
liquid media, such as solutions. The separation of charge is often associated with charge transfer,
which can occur homogeneously in solution between different chemical species, or heterogeneously
on electrode surfaces. It can thus be seen immediately that its applications are extremely wide .
In order to ensure electroneutrality, two or more charge transfer half-reactions take place
simultaneously, in opposite directions: oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in oxidation state)
and reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state).
On electrode surfaces, the oxidation and reduction half-reactions are separated in space, usually
occurring at different electrodes immersed in solution in a single cell or in separate cell
compartments. The electrodes are linked by conducting paths both in solution (via ionic transport)
and externally (via electric wires etc.) so that charge can be transported and the electrical circuit
completed. When the sum of the Gibbs energy changes at both electrodes is negative the electrical
energy released can be harnessed (batteries, fuel cells). If it is positive, external electrical energy
can be supplied to overcome the positive Gibbs energy difference and oblige electrode reactions to
take place and convert chemical substances (electrolysis).
Answer the following questions
(a) What is the use of a salt bridge in an electrochemical process ?.
OR
When can a galvanic cell behave as an electrolytic cell?
(b) Which reference electrode is used to measure the electrode potential of other electrodes?

30. Coordination compounds have been studied extensively because of what they reveal about
molecular structure and chemical bonding, as well as because of the unusual chemical nature and
useful properties of certain coordination compounds. The general class of coordination
compounds—or complexes, as they are sometimes called—is extensive and diverse. The substances

18
in the class may be composed of electrically neutral molecules or of positively or negatively charged
species (ions). The central metal atom in a coordination compound itself may be neutral or charged
(ionic). The coordinated groups—or ligands—may be neutral molecules such as water (in the above
example), ammonia (NH3), or carbon monoxide (CO); negatively charged ions (anions) such as the
fluoride (in the first example above) or cyanide ion (CN−); or, occasionally, positively charged ions
such as the hydrazinium (N2H5+) or nitrosonium (NO+) ion.
Coordination number is the term proposed by Werner to denote the total number of bonds from the
ligands to the metal atom. Coordination numbers generally range between 2 and 12, with 4
(tetracoordinate) and 6 (hexacoordinate) being the most common.
The oxidation number, designated by an Arabic number with an appropriate sign (or, sometimes,
by a Roman numeral in parentheses), is an index derived from a simple and formal set of rules and
is not a direct indicator of electron distribution or of the charge on the central metal ion or compound
as a whole.

(a) Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:
(i) [Co(H2O)(CN)(en)2 ]2+ (ii) [PtCl4 ]2-
(b)Write coordination number of Fe in [Fe(C2O4 )3 ]3– and K4 [Fe(CN)6 ].

SECTION D
The following questions are case -based questions. Each question has an internal
choice and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the
questions that follow.
29. Electricity can be produced when electrons move from one element to another in certain
types of reactions (such as redox reactions). Typically, electrochemistry deals with the
overall reactions when multiple redox reactions occur simultaneously, connected via some
external electric current and a suitable electrolyte. In other words, electrochemistry is also
concerned with chemical phenomena that involve charge separation (as seen commonly in
liquids such as solutions). The dissociation of charge often involves charge transfer that

30
 occurs homogeneously or heterogeneously between different chemical species. A
spontaneous chemical process is one which can take place on its own, and in such a process,
the Gibbs free energy of a system decreases. In electrochemistry, spontaneous reaction
(redox reaction) results in the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. The
reverse process is also possible where a non-spontaneous chemical reaction occurs by
supplying electricity. These interconversions are carried out in equipment called an
electrochemical cell.
Answer the following questions:
a) Write the name of the cell which is generally used in hearing aids.
b) Under what conditions is E0cell = 0 and ΔrG0 = 0 ?
OR
What does the negative sign in the expression E0Zn2+ /Zn = – 0.76 V means?
c) The standard electrode potential for Daniell cell is 1.1 V. Calculate the standard
Gibbs energy for the cell reaction. (F = 96,500 C mol-1)
30. Many coordination compounds contain a metallic element as the central atom and are
therefore referred to as metal complexes. These types of coordination complexes generally
consist of a transition element as the central atom. It can be noted that the central atom in
these complexes is called the coordination centre. A chemical compound in which the central
ion or atom (or the coordination centre) is bound to a set number of atoms, molecules, or
ions is called a coordination entity. Some examples of such coordination entities include
[CoCl3(NH3)3] and [Fe(CN)6]4-.
As discussed earlier, the atoms and ions to which a set number of atoms, molecules, or ions
are bound are referred to as the central atoms and the central ions. In coordination
compounds, the central atoms or ions are typically Lewis Acids and can, therefore, act as
electron-pair acceptors. The atoms, molecules, or ions that are bound to the coordination
centre or the central atom/ion are referred to as ligands. These ligands can either be a simple
ion or molecule, such as Cl– or NH3 or in the form of relatively large molecules, such as
ethane-1,2-diamine (NH2-CH2-CH2-NH2). The coordination sphere is the non-ionizable
part of a complex compound, which consists of a central transition metal ion surrounded by
neighbouring atoms or groups enclosed in a square bracket. The coordination centre, the
ligands attached to the coordination centre, and the net charge of the chemical compound as
a whole form the coordination sphere when written together. This coordination sphere is
usually accompanied by a counter ion (the ionizable groups that attach to charged
coordination complexes).
For example, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 – coordination sphere
Answer the following questions:
a) Write down the formula of: Tetraamineaquachloridocobalt(III) chloride.

17 a) The liquid mixture having a definite composition and boiling like a pure liquid 1
without change in composition is called as azeotrope.
b) Aquatic species need dissolved oxygen for breathing. As solubility of gases 1
decreases with increase of temperature, less oxygen is available in summer in
the lake. Hence the aquatic species feel more comfortable in winter (low

hand, no such resonance is possible in haloalkanes. Halogens directly attached
to benzene ring are o, p-directing in electrophilic subsitution reactions. This is
due to greater electron density at these positions in resonance.
26 a) Ortho-nitrophenol has lower boiling point due to formation of intramolecular 1

agent. In a cell containing zinc electrode and standard hydrogen electrode
present in two half cells, zinc will be oxidised to Zn2+ ions while H+ ions will
get reduced to hydrogen.

(absence of unpaired electrons)
31 i) Solute-solvent dipolar interactions exist in the pair of methanol and acetone. 1
ii) * To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drinks and soda water, the bottle is each
sealed under high pressure. (any
* To avoid a dangerous medical condition called bends, scuba divers use five)
oxygen diluted with less soluble helium gas.
iii) In positive deviations, the partial vapour pressure of each component A and B
of a solution and the total pressure of the solution is higher than the vapour
pressure calculated from Raoult’s law. For example, Water and Ethanol.
iv) Gas (B) will have higher value of KH (Henry’s constant) than Gas (A) at the
same temperature
v) The phenomenon involved in the melting of snow on snow-covered roads is
the depression in the freezing point which is caused by the addition of non-
volatile impurities to a liquid. The addition of salt (sodium chloride) lowers
the freezing point temperature of the water and thus, helps in the melting of
snow.
vi) When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the surface area for escape
of solvent molecules decreases and vapour pressure gets lowered.
vii) Water from NaCl solution passes into cells &they swell. Finally they will
burst.
32 a) The variability of oxidation state of transition elements is due to incompletely 1
filled d-orbitals and presence of unpaired electrons, i.e. (ns) and (n -1) d
electrons have approximate equal energies.
b) From titanium to copper the atomic size of elements decreases and mass
increases as a result of which density increases.
c) The catalytic properties of the transition elements are due to the presence of 1
unpaired electrons in their incomplete d- orbitals and variable oxidation states.
d)

OR
a) Copper exhibits + 1 oxidation state more frequently i.e., Cu+1 because of its
2
electronic configuration 3d104s1. It can easily lose 4s1 electron to give stable
3d10 configuration.
37
 b) SC3+ = 4S0 3d3+ = no unpaired electron 1
V3+ = 3d2 4s0 = 2 unpaired electron
Ti4+ = 3d0 4s0 = no unpaired electron
Mn2+ = 3d5 4s0 = 5 unpaired electron 1
Thus V3+ and Mn2+ are coloured in their aqueous solution due to presence of
unpaired electron.
c) Because of stronger metallic bonding and high enthalpies of atomization. 1
d) (i) Cu2+(aq) is much more stable than Cu+(aq). This is because although 1
second ionization enthalpy of copper is large but Δhyd (hydration enthalpy) for
Cu2+(aq) is much more negative than that for Cu+(aq) and hence it more than
compensates for the second ionization enthalpy of copper. Therefore, many
copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous solution and undergo
disproportionation as follows :
2Cu+ → Cu2+ + Cu
(ii) Because high enthalpies of atomisation of 4d and 5d series and high 1
ionization enthalpies, the M.P. and B.P. of heavier transition elements are
greater than those of first transition series which is due to stronger
intermetallic bonding. Hence 4d and 5d series metals generally do not form
stable cationic species.
33 a) Due to electron releasing inductive effect (+1) of alkyl group, the electron 1
density on the nitrogen atom increases and thus, it can donate the lone pair of
electrons more easily than ammonia.
b) (CH3)2 NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3 N > NH3 1
c) By Azo dye test: It involves the reaction of any aromatic primary amine with 1
HNO2(NaNO2 + dil. HCl) at 273-278 K followed by treatment with an
alkaline solution of 2-naphthol when a brilliant yellow, orange or red coloured
dye is obtained.
d) H3C—H2C—NH—CH3 1
e) C6H5NH2 < (C2H5)2NH < C2H5NH2 1
OR
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 1
of ortho, meta and para products will form.
b) C6H5CH2OH is formed. 1
c) Benzene diazonium chloride cannot be stored and is used immediately after its 1
preparation because of its unstable nature. With a slight increase in
temperature, it dissociates to give nitrogen gas.
d) C3H9N reacts with C6H5SO2Cl or Hinsberg’s reagent to give a solid, insoluble 1
in alkali, which means that C3H9N is a secondary amine. C2H5-NH-CH3
e) Aniline forms the salt anilinium chloride, which is water-soluble. 1
C6H5NH2 + HCl → [C6H5NH3]+Cl–

SECTION D
The following section has two case study -based questions Read the passage carefully and
answer the questions that follows
29. Proteins are the polymers of a-amino acids and they are connected to each other by peptide bond
or peptide linkage. Chemically, peptide linkage is an amide formed between–COOH group and –
NH2 group. The reaction between two molecules of similar or different amino acids, proceeds
through the combination of the amino group of one molecule with the carboxyl group of the other.
This results in the elimination of a water molecule and formation of a peptide bond –CO–NH–. The
product of the reaction is called a dipeptide because it is made up of two amino acids. For example,
when carboxyl group of glycine combines with the amino group of alanine we get a dipeptide,
glycylalanine. If a third amino acid combines to a dipeptide, the product is called a tripeptide. A
tripeptide contains three amino acids linked by two peptide linkages. Similarly when four, five or
six amino acids are linked, the respective products are known as tetrapeptide, pentapeptide or
hexapeptide, respectively. When the number of such amino acids is more than ten, then the products
are called polypeptides. A polypeptide with more than hundred amino acid residues, having
molecular mass higher than 10,000u is called a protein. However, the distinction between a
polypeptide and a protein is not very sharp. Polypeptides with fewer amino acids are likely to be
called
proteins if they ordinarily have a well defined conformation of a protein such as insulin which
contains 51 amino acids.
(i) Give an example of a globular and a fibrous protein.
(ii) Name the two forms of secondary structure of protein.
(iii) What are essential and non essential amino acids ?Give one example of each.

30. The lead-acid battery represents the oldest rechargeable battery technology. Lead acid batteries can be
found in a wide variety of applications including small-scale power storage such as UPS systems,
ignition power sources for automobiles, along with large, grid-scale power systems. The spongy lead
act as the anode and lead dioxide as the cathode. Aqueous sulphuric acid is used as an electrolyte.
The half-reactions during discharging of lead storage cells are:
Anode: Pb(s) + SO (aq)
2−
4
→ PbSO (s) 4
+ 2e−
Cathode: PbO 2(s) +4H+ (aq) + SO2− 4(aq) + 2e− → PbSO4 (s) + 2H2 O
There is no safe way of disposal and these batteries end - up in landfills. Lead and sulphuric acid
are extremely hazardous and pollute soil, water as well as air. Irrespective of the environmental
challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have remained an important source of energy.
Designing green and sustainable battery systems as alternatives to conventional means remains
relevant. Fuel cells are seen as the future source of energy. Hydrogen is considered agreen fuel.
Problem with fuel cells at present is the storage of hydrogen. Currently, ammonia and methanol
are being used as a source of hydrogen for fuel cell. These are obtained industrially, so add to
the environmental issues.
If the problem of storage of hydrogen is overcome, is it still a “green fuel?” Despite being the most
abundant element in the Universe, hydrogen does not exist on its own so needs to be extracted
from the water using electrolysis or separated from carbon fossil fuels. Both of these processes
require a significant amount of energy which is currently more than that gained from the
hydrogen itself. In addition, this extraction typically requires the use of fossil fuels. More
research is being conducted in this field to solve these problems. Despite the problem of no
good means to extract Hydrogen, it is a uniquely abundant and renewable source of energy,
perfect for our future zero-carbon needs.
Answer the following questions:
a. How many coulombs have been transferred from anode to cathode in order to consume onemole of
sulphuric acid during the discharging of lead storage cell?
b. How much work can be extracted by using lead storage cell if each cell delivers about
55
 2.0 V of voltage? (1 F = 96500 C)
Do you agree with the statement – “Hydrogen is a green fuel.” Give your comments for and against this
statement and justify your views.

However, at present the means to obtain hydrogen are electrolysis of water which use electricity
obtained from fossil fuels and increase carbon emissions.
Inspite of the problems faced today in the extraction of hydrogen, we cannot disagree on the fact th at
hydrogen is a clean source of energy. Further research can help in finding solutions and greens ways
like using solar energy for extraction of hydrogen. (2)
No. It is true that Hydrogen is a fuel that on combustion gives water as a byproduct. There are no
carbon emissions and no pollutions caused.
However, at present the means to obtain hydrogen are electrolysis of water which use electricity
obtained from fossil fuels and increase carbon emissions.
Hydrogen is no doubt a green fuel, but the process of extraction is not green as of today. At
present, looking at the process of extraction, hydrogen is not a green fuel. (2)
OR
Both answers will be treated as correct
(i) Lead batteries are currently the most important and widely used batteries. These are
rechargeable. The problem is waste management which needs research and awareness.
Currently, these are being thrown into landfills and there is no safe method of disposal or
recycling. Research into safer method of disposal will reduce the pollution and health
hazardscaused to a great extent.
( 1 mark for importance, 1 for need for the research)
(ii) Fuel cell is a clen source of energy. Hydrogen undergoes combustion to produce water.
Theneed of the hour is green fuel and hydrogen is a clean fuel. The current problem is
obtaining hydrogen. Research that goes into this area will help solve the problem of
pollution and will bea sustainable solution.
( 1 mark for importance, 1 for need for the research)

Q30. Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows:
Amines are usually formed from nitro compounds, halides, amides, imides, etc. They exhibit
hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines a combination of
electron releasing, steric and hydrogen bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted
ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. In aromatic
amines, electron releasing and withdrawing groups, respectively increase and decrease their basic
character. Influence of the number of hydrogen atoms at nitrogen atom on the type of reactions and
nature of products is responsible for identification and distinction between primary, secondary and
tertiary amines. Presence of amino group in aromatic ring enhances reactivity of the aromatic
amines. Aryl diazonium salts provide advantageous methods for producing aryl halides, cyanides,
phenols and arenes by reductive removal of the diazo group.

(i)(a) The binary mixture of liquids having the same composition in liquid
and vapour phase and boil at a constant temperature are called azeotropes. 1
(b) The excess of pressure which must be applied to the solution side to 1
prevent the passage of solvent in 28 through a semipermeable membrane is
called osmotic tic pressure
(c) The properties of solutions which depend only on the number of solute 1
particles in the solution but independent of their nature are called colligative
properties.
(ii)K2SO4 dissolved=25 mg =0.025g, volume of solution=2L,T=25°C= 298K
Molar mass of K2SO4 =2×39+32+4×16=174 g/mol 2

32 i) This is because Eu2+ tends to change to Eu3+ as +3 is the common 1

oxidation state of lanthanoids.
ii)Zn2+(3d10) completely filled the orbitals as a result the d-d transition cannot 1
occur due to that zinc salts are colourless

vi) Interstitial compounds are those in which small atoms occupied interstitial 1
sites in the crystal lattice. Interstitial compounds are well known for transition
83
 metals because small- sized atoms of H,B,C,N,etc. can easily occupy
positions in the voids present in the crystal lattice of transition metals.
vii)Mn3+ (d4) is less stable than Mn2+ (d4) half field while Fe3+(d5)half filled 1
is more stable than Fe2+(d4).That is why Mn2+is more resistant than Fe2+
towards oxidation.

33 (i)(a)In a strong acid aniline is protonated to form anilinium ion which is meta 1
directing. That is why besides the ortho and para derivatives good amount of
mata-nitro aniline is also obtained.
(b) greater than stability of the substitute ammonium cation of stronger is the 1
base.Due to the combination of the factor +I effect of methyl group ,solvation
effect and steric hindrance of methyl group the substituted ammonium cation
of(CH3)2NH is more stable than (CH3)2N in aqueous solutions,therefore
(CH3)2NH is more basic than (CH3)2N in aqueous solutions.
(c ) Ammonolysis of alkyl halides games a mixture of primary, secondary and 1
tertiary amines along with some quaternary ammonium salt s.If excess of
alcoholic ammonia is used primary amine is the major product if excess of
halides is used quaternary ammonium salt is the major product.As a mixture
the mixture obtained are very impcomplex and difficult to separate therefore
this is not good method to prepare for primary amines.

The following questions are case -based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
29. Werner in 1898, propounded his theory of coordination compounds. The modern theory of
coordination chemistry is based largely on the work of Alfred Werner (1866–1919; Nobel Prize
in Chemistry in 1913). In a series of careful experiments carried out in the late 1880s and early
1890s, he examined the properties of several series of metal halide complexes with ammonia.
The main postulates are: In coordination compounds metals show two types of linkages
(valences)-primary and secondary. The primary valences are normally ionisable and are satisfied
by negative ions. The secondary valences are non ionisable. Werner’s theory is responsible for
the formation of structures of various cobalt amines. Cobalt has a primary valency (oxidation state)
of three and exhibits secondary valency (coordination number) of 6. We represent the secondary
valencies by thick lines and the primary valency by broken lines.

(i)Find the primary and secondary valencies of central metal ion/atom in K4[Fe(CN)6] and

(iii) [NiCl4]2- is paramagnetic while [Ni(CO)4] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral why?
30. A famous book of Paulo Coehlo The Alchemist was best seller of his time. Alchemistry in olden
days was defined as study metals and their properties. All the efforts were concentrated largely
to convert cheaper metals like iron etc into precious metals like gold. These efforts however could
not convert cheaper metals into gold but new theories in field of chemistry led us to todays
technique of electroplating. Now a days we can plate precious metals like gold and platinum on
cheaper metals and can enjoy artificial jewelery which shines like real one. Faradya’s laws of
electrolysis helped us to make use of electrolysis for purification of metals and plating of a desired
metal on to the other. Farady’s laws are actually not new to mankind as similar techniques were
known to ancient Indians also and were in use as reported in many of our literature like
Visheshika Sutras as written by Rishi Kannad.

25. Since an ester A with molecular formula C8H16O2 upon hydrolysis gives carboxylic acid B
and the alcohol C and oxidation of C with chromic acid produces the acid B, therefore, both the
carboxylic acid B and alcohol C must contain the same number of carbon atoms.
Further, since ester A contains eight carbon atoms, therefore, both the carboxylic acid B and the
alcohol C must contain four carbon atoms each.
Since the alcohol C on dehydration gives but-l-ene, therefore, C must be a straight chain alcohol,
i.e., butan-l-ol.
If C is butan-l-ol, then the acid B must be butanoic acid and the ester A must be butyl
butanoate.The chemical equations are as follows:

93
26. i) Peptide bond: Proteins are condensation polymers of α-amino acids in which the same or
different α-amino acids are joined by peptide bonds. Chemically, a peptide bond is an amide
linkage formed between – COOH group of one α-amino acid and -NH-, group of the other α-
amino acid by loss of a molecule of water. For example,

1
b. Primary structure: Proteins may contain one or more polypeptide chains. Each . polypeptide
chain has a large number of α-amino acids which are linked to one another in a specific manner.
The specific sequence in which the various amino acids present in a protein linked to one another
is called its primary structure. Any change in the sequence of α-amino acids creates a different
protein. 1
c. Denaturation: When a protein in its native form is subjected to a physical change such as
change in temperature or a chemical change like change in pH, etc., hydrogen bonds gets broken.
As a result, soluble forms of proteins such as globular proteins undergo coagulation or
precipitation to give fibrous proteins which are insoluble in water. This coagulation also results in
loss of biological activity of the proteins and this loss in biological activity, is called denaturation.
During denaturation, 2° and 3° structures of proteins are destroyed but 1° structure remains intact.
27. (i)a. DNA in nucleus of the cells 1
b. Enzyme pepsin in stomach and trypsin in small intestine 1
(ii) A nucleoside contains only two basic components of nucleic acids i.e., a pentose sugar and a
nitrogenous base. It is formed when 1- position of pyrimidine (cytosine, thiamine or uracil) or 9-
94
position of purine (guanine or adenine) base is attached to C -1 of sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) by
a β-linkage. Nucleic acids are also called polynucleotides since the repeating structural unit of
nucleic acids is a nucleotide.
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 obtained by esterification of C5, – OH
group of the pentose sugar by phosphoric acid. 1

Ni primary valency=0 secondary valency=4
(ii) Ambident ligands: those ligands which have two binding sites but can use only one at a time
eg CN-
OR

(iii)

95
30.(i) at cathode Ag will be deposited and at Cathode anode Ag+2 will pass into the solution.
OR
an electrolyte’s limiting molar conductivity is equal to the sum of the individual limiting molar
conductivities of the cations and anions that make up the electrolyte.
(ii)

(ii)
(iii) Q=IT
2x3x60x60 c =>21600c
Q= nx1.6x10-19
Therefore 21600= nx1.6x10-19 hence n=1.3x1023 electrons.
SECTION E
31. a. Lanthanoid Contraction : a gradual dec in atomic and ionic radius from lanthanum to
lutetium is called as lanthanoid contraction. 1
Consequences of lanthanoid Contraction
(a)Separation Lanthanoids: All the lanthanoids have quite similar properties and due to this reason
they are difficult to separate.
(b)Variation in basic strength of hydroxides: Due to lanthanoid contraction, size of M3+ ions
decreases and thus there is a corresponding increase in the covalent character in M—OH bond.
Thus basic character of oxides and hydroxides decreases from La(OH)3 to Lu(OH)3.
(c)Similarity in the atomic sizes of the elements of second and third transition series present in the
same group. The difference in the value of atomic radii of Y and La is quite, large as compared to
the difference in the value of Zr and Hf. This is because of the lanthanoid contraction.
(d)Variation in standard reduciton potential: Due to lanthanoid contraction there is a small but
steady increase in the standard reduction potential (E°) for the reduction process.
M3+ (aq) + 3e– —–> 4 M(aq)
OR any two correct consequences 2
b. Transition metals form large number of interstitial compounds; this is due to the presence of
voids in their crystal lattices. They are able to entrap small atoms of elements like H, G, N, B, etc.,
in their crystal lattice and even can make weak bonds with them.
Due to formation of interstitial compounds, their malleability and ductility decreases and tensile .
strength increases. Steel and cast iron are hard in comparison to wrought iron due to the presence
of trapped carbon atoms in interstitial spaces.
OR

96
32. (i) Molality: may be defined as number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Molarity: may be defined as number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Mole fraction: Mole fraction is the number of moles of a specific component in the
solution divided by the total number of moles in the given solution.
(ii)

OR
(i) Colligative properties:properties of solutions that depend only upon the total
concentration of solute species, regardless of their identities.
OR defined in any other correct way.
Reverse osmosis can be used for desalination or purification of contaminated water for
obtaining pure drinking water.
(ii)

97
33. (i)
a. Methyl amine and dimethylamine can be distinguished by carbylamine test. Methyl amine when
treated with chloroform and aqueous KOH give foul smell (CH3NC )whereas dimethyl amine dot
respond to this test.
CH3NH2 + CHCl3 +3KOH → CH3NC +3KCl +3H2O

b.

c. Hinsberg Test: The reagent used in this test is benzene sulfonyl chloride. Amines reacts with
benzene sulfonyl chloride in the alkaline medium.
Primary amines reacts with benzene sulfonyl chloride to produce substituted sulfonamide which
contains an acidic hydrogen and dissolve in basic medium.
A secondary amine forms a substituted sulfonamide which is insoluble in alkali because it does
not have acidic hydrogen.

(ii) (a) Aniline is a Lewis base and therefore forms salt with Lewis acid like AlCl3 used as
acatalyst in Friedal Craft reaction.
a. Aromatic diazonium chlorides are resonately stabilized and aliphatic diazonium salts are
not resonantly stabilized.
OR
(i) From the available information, we find that ‘B’ upon heating with Br2 and KOH forms a
compound ‘C’. The compound ‘B’ is
expected to be an acid amide. Since ‘B’ has been formed upon heating compound ‘A’ with

98
aqueous ammonia, the compound ‘A’ is an aromatic acid.
It is benzoic acid. The reactions involved are given as follows:

(ii) Gabriel Pthalamide reaction.

 SECTION :D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has aninternal
choice and carries 4(1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer
the questions that follow:
29 When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration, 4
then it is called non-ideal solution. The vapour pressure of such a solution is either
higher or lower than that predicted by Raoult’s law. If it is higher, the solution exhibits
positive deviation and if it is lower, it exhibits negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
The osmotic pressure of a solution is the excess pressure that must be applied to a
solution to prevent osmosis, i.e., to stop the passage of solvent molecules through a
Semipermeable membrane into the solution. Osmotic pressure is colligative property
as it depends on the number of solute molecules and not on their identity. For dilute
solutions, it has been found experimentally that osmotic pressure is proportional to the
molarity, C of the Solution at a given temperature T. Thus: Π = C R T. Here Π is the
osmotic pressure and R is the gas constant. Π=(n2/V)RT
a) Define ideal solution.
b) What kind of deviation is found in solution of alcohol in water?
c) 200 cm3of anaqueoussolutionofaproteincontains1.26goftheprotein.Theosm
oticpressureofsuchasolutionat300 K is found to be 2.57×10-3 bar. Calculate the
molar mass of the protein.
OR
Why Osmotic Pressure is used to measure the molar mass of biomolecules?
30 The carbohydrates may also be classified as either reducing or nonreducing sugars. All 4
those carbohydrates which reduce Fehling’s solution and Tollens’ reagent are referred to
as reducing sugars. All monosaccharides whether aldose or ketose are reducing sugars.
Fructose also has the molecular formula C6H12O6 and on the basis of its reactions itwas
found to contain a ketonic functional group at carbon number 2 and six carbons in
straight chain as in the case of glucose. It belongs to D- series and is a laevo rotatory
compound. It is appropriately written as D-(–)-fructose.
Poly saccharides contain a large number of mono saccharide units joined together by
glycosidic linkages. These are the most commonly encountered carbohydrates in nature.
They mainly act as the food storage or structural materials. Protein found in a biological
system with a unique 3D structure and biological activity is called a native protein.
When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical change like change in
temperature or chemical change like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed.
a) Sucrose can not reduce the Tollen’s reagent. Why?
b) The optical activity of sucrose is changed from dextro toleavo after some time.
