Question 9. [3]
(a) When 0.4g of oxalic acid is dissolved in 40g of benzene, the freezing point of the
solution is lowered by 0.45 K. Calculate the degree of association of acetic acid. Acetic
acid forms dimer when dissolved in benzene.
(Kf for benzene = 5.12 K kg mol-1, at. wt. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16)

(a) (i) This is because transition metals have similar atomic radii and form substitutional
alloys.
(ii) Zn2+(3d10) salts have no impaired electrons but Cu2-(3d9) salts have one unpaired
electrons. Hence Zn2+ salts are white while Cu2- salts are coloured.
(iii) This is because of transition metals

Question 15.
Define the following terms with suitable examples:
(i) Peptisation
(ii) Electrophoresis.
(iii) Dialysis
Answer15:
(i) Peptisation: It is the process of conversion of fresh precipitate into colloidal particles
by shaking it with dispersion medium in the presence of a small amount of suitable
electrolyte.
e.g., a reddish-brown coloured colloidal solution is obtained from fresh precipitate of
Fe(OH)3 by shaking it with a small quantity of a dilute solution of FeCl3.
(ii) Electrophoresis: It is the movement of colloidal particles under the influence of the
electric field, e.g., when a positive charged ferric hydroxide sol is subjected to an
electric field, the colloidal particles migrate towards cathode.
(iii) Dialysis: It is the process of separation of the colloidal particles from those of
crystalloids by diffusion of the mixture through a semipermeable membrane e.g., blood
is purified in the kidneys because walls of the kidneys are semipermeable.
Or
(b) (i) (1) This is because these are polar and have lower bond energies.
(2) This is because of higher S—S bond energy (213kJmol) as compared to O-O bond
energy (138kJmol)
(3) This is because PH3 is insoluble in water (HOH-bonds) but NH3 is highly soluble in
water due to H-bonds.
(ii) (1) P4 + 10H2SO4 → 4H3PO4 + 10SO2 + 4H2O
