It is differentiated form other non-terminal alkynes, alkenes and alkanes by giving positive tests with Tollen’s reagent,
ammonical cuprous chloride and sodium amide in liquid ammonia. With Cu2Cl2 + NH4OH acetylene gives red
precipitates of copper (I) acetylide.
34. B) Amides on hydrolysis in the presence of acid catalyst give carboxylic acids.
CH3CONH2 + H2O CH3COOH + NH3
However alkaline hydrolysis is a useful test for amides. If sodium hydroxide solution is added to an unknown organic
compound and it gives off ammonia on heating, then it is an amide. CH3CONH2 + NaOH CH3COONa + NH3.

= = = 3 x 10-3 moles of Cl- ions.
( . )
42. D) CCl4 has zero dipole moment b/c it has no lone pair and its molecular geometry is similar to electron pair
geometry. Other molecules I.e. NH3, PH3 and SnCl2 are polar as they have lone pair in their structures.
(Textbook-I page # 98).

(colligative effect). Although V.P don’t depend upon amount of liquid as it is a constitutive property.
(Textbook-I page # 161).
45. B) When NH4Cl is added to a solution of (NH4)2CO3, there will be decrease in CO3-2 ions concentration due to
common ion effect. This is because NH4Cl is a stronger electrolyte than (NH4)2CO3. Due to increase in NH4+
ions concentration, equilibrium will shift in backward direction for (NH4)2CO3. The NH4)2CO3 precipitates out
to balance NH4+ ions and keep the Ksp value constant. (Textbook-I page # 204).
46. D) CH3COO- ion is the conjugate base of CH3COOH which is a weak acid while Cl-, Br- and I- ions are conjugate
bases of strong acids HCl, HBr and HI respectively. CH3COO- ion is comparatively the strongest base because
weak acid has strong conjugate base. (Textbook-I page # 215).
47. C) During the discharge of lead acid battery PbSO4 is formed both at anode and cathode.
At cathode 2H+ ions gain electrons to form two H atoms which attack on PbO2 and convert it into PbO
(lead peroxide) and water. PbO reacts with H2SO4 to form PbSO4 and water.
PbO2 + 2H PbO + H2O,
PbO + H2SO4 PbSO4 + H2O
-----------------------------------------------
PbO2 + 2H + H2SO4 PbSO4 + 2H2O
-2

SO4-2 SO4 + 2e-
SO4 + Pb PbSO4
48. D) Acidified KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent which oxidizes other substances. It can oxidize I - to I2, H2S to
S, (COOH)2 to CO2, NO2- to NO3- and Fe+2 (Ferrous ions) to Fe+3 (Ferric ions). Ferric ions cannot be oxidized
further to higher oxidation state by KMnO4. (Textbook-II page # 69).
49. B) When K2Cr2O7 is dissolved in water, it gives an orange color. It is in equilibrium with K2CrO4. By adding
KOH, it converts to K2CrO4 which is yellow in color. (Textbook-II page # 64).
Cr2O7-2 + OH- ⇌ CrO4-2.
50 C) Ozonolysis of alkenes produces carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones), while that of alkynes gives
carboxylic acids. Straight chain alkenes on reaction with ozone yield aldehydes while alkenes with branching at one
carbon of the double bond give ketone and aldehyde. When both doubly bonded carbons have branches on them,
they upon ozonolysis produce ketones only. So, ozonolysis of 2-methyl-2-butene yields both aldehyde and
ketone i.e. acetone and acetaldehyde.
51 D) Alkyl halides are reactive towards nucleophilic attacks because they have electrophilic carbon and good
leaving group. Carbon of the alkyl group has a partial positive charge (electrophilic) as it is attached to
halogen atom which is partial negative (nucleophilic).
Halogens are good leaving groups as they are easily replaced by other nucleophiles like OH-etc. (Textbook-I
page # 195).
52 C) Methanol on oxidation with strong oxidizing agent like acidified K2Cr2O7 gives formaldehyde (HCHO),
which in the presence of excess oxidizing agent converts to formic acid (HCOOH). The final product of
oxidation of primary alcohols with strong oxidizing agent is carboxylic acid if aldehyde is not removed from
the reaction mixture. (Textbook-II page # 237, 295).
53 A) In Fehling’s test, aldehydes are oxidized to carboxylate anion and Cupric (Cu+2) ions of Fehling’s reagent
are reduced to Cuprous (Cu+) ions. Fehling’s reagent is a weak oxidizing agent which is a mixture of Fehling’s
solution A (CuSO4 .5H2O) and Fehling’s solution B (Aqueous Potassium Sodium Tartrate, also known as
Rochelle salt). The net reaction is:
RCHO + 2 Cu+2 + 5 OH- RCOO- + Cu2O + 3H2O (Textbook-II page # 279).
54 B) Crystalline Solids having Vander Waal’s forces b/w their molecules are molecular solids. Ice is an example
of molecular solids in which water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonding. (Textbook-I page #
181).
55 A) When minerals are free to grow without constraint, they form 3 dimensional solid forms
which are bounded by surfaces (crystal faces) arranged in a regular and repetitive way. The
shape/habit of a crystal is determined by the arrangement of atoms in its structure and this
structure is known as the crystal lattice. Unit cell is repetitive structural unit of a crystal. Crystal
lattice is the three-dimensional arrangement of unit cells. When crystal lattice grows in a
specific pattern in three dimensions this is what we call habit of a crystal. (Textbook-I page # 174).
56 B) In foams, the dispersed phase is gas while the dispersion medium is liquid. Soap lather is a form of foam
in which air is trapped between soap solution resulting in the formation of bubbles. (Textbook-I page # 288).
57 B) Stability of colloid depends upon charge, solvation and Brownian motion. A high charge, greater solvation
and Brownian motion makes the colloid stable. If greater amount of energy is released in solvation, the
colloid will be more stable and vice versa. (Textbook-I page # 291).
58 A) Covalent character increases and ionic character decreases across the period. Greater the covalent
character, lower will be the boiling point. So, the melting points of the given compounds are in the order:
NaCl > MgCL2 > AlCl3 > SiCL4. (Textbook-II page # 14).
59 A) Solid Phosphorous (V) chloride reacts with carboxylic acids to form fumes of hydrogen chloride gas and a
liquid mixture of the acyl chloride and phosphorous oxytrichloride (POCl3). The acyl chloride (CH3COCl) can
be separated by fractional distillation. (Textbook-II page # 299).
CH3COOH + PCl5 CH3COCl + POCl3 + HCl
60 C) Saponification is a process in which fat or oil (ester) is converted into soap (salt) and alcohol by the action
of heat in the presence of aqueous alkali e.g. KOH. The number of milligrams of KOH required to neutralize
the fatty acids resulting from the complete hydrolysis of 1 gram of fat is called saponification number.
