2.Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
An ideally perfect crystal is one which has the same unit cell and contains the same lattice
points throughout the crystal. The term imperfection or defect is generally used to
describe any deviation of the ideally perfect crystal from the periodic arrangement of its
constituents.
If the deviation occurs because of missing atoms, displaced atoms or extra atoms, the
imperfection is named as a point defect.
Such defects can be the result of imperfect packing during the original crystallisation or they
may arise from thermal vibrations of atoms at elevated temperatures because with increase in
thermal energy there is increased probability of individual atoms jumping out of their positions
of lowest energy.

3. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
An everyday example of Henry's law is given by carbonated soft drinks. Before the bottle or can
is opened, the gas above the drink is almost pure carbon dioxide at a pressure slightly higher
than atmospheric pressure.When soft drinks bottle is opened some of the gas escapes giving a
specific pop sound, this is due to the lower pressure above the liquid and carbon dioxide comes
out as bubbles. Carbon dioxide reacts with water, the electron rich oxygen of water donates an
electron pair to the carbon. After proton transfer from water to one oxygen of the CO2unit,
carbonic acid is formed.
Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the
pressure of the gas on liquid. Henry's law is a gas law which states that at the amount of gas
that is dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the
liquid when the temperature is kept constant.
The Henry law constant for dissolution of a gas in an aqueous medium is 3×102 atm.We can
use Henry's Law to calculate the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in an aqueous
solution. The current average concentration of CO2 is 387 ppm, that is 387 x 10-6 atm. [CO2] =
P/KH = 3.87 x 10-4 atm/29.41 atm M-1 = 1.32 x 10-5 M

4. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions
Osmotic pressure is defined as the tendency of solvent molecules to move in the direction of
lower solvent activity through semipermeable membrane. Osmotic pressure is considered to be
proportional to the molarity and temperature of the solution. By molarity we mean the number
of moles of solute in one liter solution, therefore it is a colligative property. Osmotic pressure
can be defined using the following equation:
Π V = nRT
An external pressure must be applied to reverse the process of osmosis on the side of the
membrane that contains the lower solvent concentration. The pressure forces the solvent to flow
from a region of low concentration to one of high concentration. This concept is used in
desalination of sea water.

Sulphuric acid is a colourless, dense, oily liquid with a specific gravity of 1.84 at 298 K. The acid
freezes at 283 K and boils at 611 K. It dissolves in water with the evolution of a large quantity of
heat. Hence, care must be taken while preparing sulphuric acid solution from concentrated
sulphuric acid. The concentrated acid must be added slowly into water with constant stirring.
The acid forms two series of salts: normal sulphates and acid sulphates. Sulphuric acid, because
of its low volatility can be used to manufacture more volatile acids from their corresponding
salts.

CASEBASEDMCQ - II
2. Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types; substitution nucleophilic
bimolecular(SN2) and substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1) depending on molecules
taking part indetermining the rate of reaction. Reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN1 and SN2
reactions depends on various factors such as steric hindrance, stability of intermediate or
transition state and polarity of solvent. SN2 reaction mechanism is favoured mostly by
primary alkyl halide or transition state and polarity of solvent, SN2 reaction mechanism is
favoured mostly by primary alkyl halide then secondary and then tertiary. This order is
reversed in case of SN1reactions.
The following questions are multiple choice question. Choose the most
appropriate answer:
(i) Which of the following is most reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction?
(A) C6H5Cl
(B) CH2=CHCl
(C) ClCH2CH=CH2

-
(A) CH3O
-
(B) C6H5O
-
(C) (CH3)2CHO
-
(D) (CH3)3CO
(iv) Tertiary alkyl halides are practically inert to substitution by SN2 mechanism because of-
(A) insolubility
(B) instability
(C) inductive effect
(D) steric hindrance
(v) Which of the following is the correct order of decreasing SN2 reactivity?
(A) RCH2X>R2CHX>R3CX
(B) R3CX>R2CHX>RCH2X
(C) R2CHX>R3CX>RCH2X
(D)RCH2X>R3CX>R2CHX
3. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
In Haloalkanes C-X bond is polar bond due to–I effect of halogen atoms so
haloalkanes more reactive than corresponding hydrocarbons. When a stronger
nucleophile approaches the positively charged carbon atom of an alkyl halide, the
halogen atom alongwith its bonding electron pair gets displaced and a new bond with
the carbon and the nucleophile is formed.These reactions are called nucleophilic
substitution reactions.

In these reactions the atom or group of atoms which loses its bond from carbon and
takes on an additional pair of electrons is called leaving group.Halide ions are good
leaving groups..

(C) less polar of C- X bond
(D) Stability of phenyl cation

[SECTION -B] :CASE BASED A/R QUESTIONS-I


1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The order of reactivity towards SN1 reaction depends upon the stability of carbocation in
the first step.Greater the stability of the carbocation,greater will be its ease of formation
from alkyl halide and hence faster will be the rate of the reaction. As we know, 3°
carbocation is most stable, therefore, the tert-alkyl that halides will undergo SN1 reaction
very fast. For example, it has been observed that the reaction (CH3)3CBr with OH- ion to
give 2-methyl-2-propanol is about 1 million times as fast as the corresponding reaction of
the methyl bromide to give methanol.
The primary alkyl halides always react predominantly by SN2 mechanism. On the other
hand,the tertiary alkyl halides react predominantly by SN1 mechanism. Secondary alkyl
halides may react by either mechanism or by both the mechanisms without much preference
depending up on the nature of the nucleophile and solvent.
In these questions( i-v),a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given.

Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.


(A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct
explanation for assertion.
(B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct

CASEBASEDA/RQUESTIONS-II
2. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The aryl halides are relatively less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution
reactions as compared to alkylhalides.This low reactivity can be attributed to
the following factors:
1. The C - X bond in halobenzene has a partial double bond character due to involvement
of halogen electrons in resonance with benzene ring.
2. The C - X bond in aryl halides is less polar as compared to that in alkyl halides
as sp2 hyridised carbon is more electronegative than sp3 hybridised carbon.
In these questions( i-v),a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is
given.

Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.


(A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct
explanation for assertion.
(B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct
explanation for assertion.
(C) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(D) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
(i) Assertion: Primary benzylic halides are more reactive than primary alkyl halides
Towards SN1 reactions.
Reason: Reactivity depends upon the nature of the nucleophile and the solvent.

(ii) Assertion : is less reactive than towards nucleophilic substitution


reactions by SN1mechanism.
Reason:Tertiary alkyl halides react predominantly by SN1 mechanism.

(iii) Assertion: Chlorobenzene is more reactive than p-chloroanisole to nucleophilic


substitution reactions.
Reason: Greater the stability of carbanion, greater is its ease of formation and
hence, more reactive is the aryl halide.

(iv) Assertion: Chlorobenzene is less reactive than benzene towards the electrophilic
substitution reaction.
Reason: Resonance Effect of ‗Cl‘ activates benzene ring towards electrophilic
substitution.

41
(v) Assertion:The C–Cl bond length in chlorobenzene is shorter than that in CH3–Cl.
Reason: In haloarenes Cl is attached to sp2 hyridised carbon which is more
electronegative than sp3 hybridisedcarbon.

assertion.
(B) Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
(C) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(D) Assertion is false but reason is true.
Alcohols and phenols are acidic in nature. In fact, alcohols and phenols are Brönsted
acids i.e., they can donate a proton to a stronger base (B:).The acidic character of
alcohols and phenols is due to the polar nature of O–H bond. Alcohols are, however,
weaker acids than water. The reaction of phenol with aqueous sodium hydroxide
indicates that phenols are stronger acids than alcohols and water. In substituted
53
phenols, the presence of electron withdrawing groups such as nitro group, enhances
the acidic strength. On the other hand, electron releasing groups result in decrease in
acid strength. This effect is more pronounced when such a group is present at ortho
and para positions.
1. Assertion – p- Nitrophenol is a stronger acid than o-Nitrophenol.
Reason – Intramolecular hydrogen bonding makes o-isomer weaker than p-
isomer.
2. Assertion – p-Florophenol is less acidic than p-chlorophenol.
Reason – F exerts better +mesomeric effect than Cl.
3. Assertion – m-Methoxyphenol is a stronger acid than p-Methoxyphenol.

I. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:(1×4 = 4)
The basic chemical formula of DNA is now well established. It consists of a very long
chain, the backbone of which is made up of alternate sugar and phosphate groups,
joined together in regular 3‘ 5‘ phosphodiester linkages. To each sugar is attached a
nitrogenous base, only four different kinds of which are commonly found in DNA. Two
of these---adenine and guanine--- are purines, and the other two thymine and
cytosine-are pyrimidines. A fifth base, 5-methyl cytosine, occurs in smaller amounts in
certain organisms, and a sixth, 5-hydroxy-methyl-cytosine, is found instead of
cytosine in the T even phages. It should be noted that the chain is unbranched, a
consequence of the regular internucleotide linkage. On the other hand the sequence of
the different nucleotides is, as far as can be ascertained, completely irregular. Thus,
DNA has some features which are regular, and some which are irregular. A similar
conception of the DNA molecule as a long thin fiber is obtained from physicochemical
analysis involving sedimentation, diffusion, light scattering, and viscosity
measurements. These techniques indicate that DNA is a very asymmetrical structure
approximately 20 A wide and many thousands of angstroms long. Estimates of its
molecular weight currently center between 5 X106 and X107 (approximately 3 X104
nucleotides). Surprisingly each of these measurements tend to suggest that the DNA
is relatively rigid, a puzzling finding in view of the large number of single bonds (5 per
nucleotide) in the phosphate-sugar back bone. Recently these indirect inferences have
been confirmed by electron microscopy.
Q. 1. Purines present in DNA are:
(A) adenine and thymine
(B) guanine and thymine
(C) cytosine and thymine
(D) adenine and guanine
Q. 2. DNA molecule has ___________ inter nucleotide linkage and __________
sequence of the different nucleotides .

(C) irregular, regular (D) irregular, irregular
Q. 3. DNA has a ___________ backbone
(A) phosphate-purine (B) pyrimidines-sugar
(C) phosphate-sugar (D) purine-pyrimidine
Q. 4. Out of the four different kinds of nitrogenous bases which are commonly found
in DNA, ___________ has been replaced in some organisms.
(A) adenine (B) guanine (C) cytosine (D) thymine

2. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:(1×4= 4)
The two monosaccharides are joined together by an oxide linkage formed by the loss
of a water molecule. Such a linkage between two monosaccharide units through
oxygen atom is called glycosidic linkage. In disaccharides, if the reducing groups of
monosaccharides i.e., aldehydic or ketonic groups are bonded, these are non-reducing

62
sugars, e.g., sucrose. On the other hand, sugars in which these functional groups are
free, are called reducing sugars, for example, maltose and lactose. A non reducing
disaccharide ‗A‘ on hydrolysis with dilute acid gives an equimolar mixture of D–(+)–
glucose and D-(-)-Fructose.

1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:(1×4= 4)
Complete hydrolysis of DNA (or RNA) yields a pentose sugar, phosphoric acid and
nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds (called bases). In DNA molecules, the
sugar moiety is β-D-2-deoxyribose whereas in RNA molecule, it is β-D-ribose.DNA
contains four bases viz. adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). RNA
also contains four bases, the first three bases are same as in DNA but the fourth one
is uracil (U).
A unit formed by the attachment of a base to 1′ position of sugar is known as
nucleoside. In nucleosides, the sugar carbons are numbered as 1′, 2′, 3′, etc. in order
to distinguish these from the bases. When nucleoside is linked to phosphoric acid at
5′-position of sugar moiety, we get a nucleotide. Nucleotides are joined together by
phosphodiester linkage between 5′ and 3′ carbon atoms of the pentose sugar.
Information regarding the sequence of nucleotides in the chain of a nucleic acid is
called its primary structure. Nucleic acids have a secondary structure also. James
Watson and Francis Crick gave a double strand helix structure for DNA. Two nucleic
acid chains are wound about each other and held together by hydrogen bonds
between pairs of bases. The two strands are complementary to each other because
the hydrogen bonds are formed between specific pairs of bases. Adenine forms
hydrogen bonds with thymine whereas cytosine forms hydrogen bonds with guanine.

2. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :(1×4= 4)
When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical changes like change in
temperature or chemical changes like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are
disturbed. Due to this, globules unfold and helix gets uncoiled and protein loses its
biological activity. This is called denaturation of protein.
The denaturation causes change in secondary and tertiary structures but primary
structures remains intact.
Examples of denaturation of protein are coagulation of egg white on boiling, curding of
milk, and formation of cheese when an acid is added to milk.
Q. 1. Assertion: Amino acids are known as α-amino acids.
Reason: Amino acids are organic compounds containing an amino group and a
carboxylic group as substituent on the α-carbon.
Q. 2. Assertion: Proteins are a hetero-polymer.
Reason: Dietary proteins are the source of non-essential amino acids.
Q. 3. Assertion: The long protein chain folds upon itself like a hollow ball giving rise
to the tertiary structure.
Reason: Tertiary structure gives a 3-dimensional view of a protein.
Q. 4. Assertion: Amino acids are amphoteric in their function.
Reason: All amino acids are necessary for our body.

CASE1: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions
53-55

Early crystallographers had trouble solving the structures of inorganic solids using X-
ray diffraction because some of the mathematical tools for analyzing the data had not
yet been developed. Once at rial structure was proposed, it was relatively easy to
calculate the diffraction pattern, but it was difficult to go the other way (from the
diffraction pattern to the structure) if nothing was known apriori about the
arrangement of atoms in the unit cell. It was important to develop some guidelines for
guessing the coordination numbers and bonding geometries of atoms in crystals. The
first such rules were proposed by Linus Pauling, who considered how one might pack
together oppositely charged spheres of different radii.
Pauling proposed from geometric considerations that the quality of the "fit" depended
on the radius ratio of the anion and the cation.

80
If the anion is considered as the packing atom in the crystal, then the smaller
cation fills interstitialsites ("holes"). Cations will find arrangements in which they
can contact the largest number of anions. If the cation can touch all of its
nearest neighbour anions then the fit is good. If the cation is too small for a
given site, that coordination number will be unstable and it will prefer a lower
coordination structure. The table below gives the ranges of cation/anion radius
ratios that give the best fit for a given coordination geometry.

Coordination Geometry ρ=rcation / ranion


number
2 linear 0-0.155
3 triangular 0.155-0.225
4 tetrahedral 0.225-0.414
4 squareplanar 0.414-0.732
6 octahedral 0.414-0.732
8 cubic 0.732-1.0
12 cuboctahedral 1.0

The radius of Ag+ ion is 126 pm and of I- ion is 216 pm.The coordination number of
Ag+ ion is:
ρ=rcation/ranion= 126/216=0.58
Radius ratio lies in the range 0.414 – 0.732, so has coordination number 6 or 4
according to the table.
Since none of the options is 4,so the answer is 6
Q54. (d)290 pm
Square planar means ratio ratio is between 0.414–0.732
If radius of cation is 120 pm then anion should be in the range ρ
= rcation/ranion 0.414 = 120/x so x = 289.8 = 290 pm
0.732 = 120/x so x = 163.9 = 164 pm

CASE 1 Read the passage given below and answer the following
questions 53-55
An ideally perfect crystal is one which has the same unit cell and contains the
same lattice points throughout the crystal. The term imperfection or defect is
generally used to describe any deviation of the ideally perfect crystal from the
periodic arrangement of its constituents.
If the deviation occurs because of missing atoms, displaced atoms or extra
atoms, the imperfection is named as a point defect.
Such defects can be the result of imperfect packing during the original
crystallisation or they may arise from thermal vibrations of atoms at elevated
temperatures because with increase in thermal energy there is increased
probability of individual atoms jumping out of their positions of lowest energy.
Type of point defects – point defects in a crystal may be classified into three
types
