Ans: Identification of Lowry – Bronsted

Acids and Bases

i. HCO3- + H2 O (l) ⇌CO3-2 (aq) + H3O+ (aq)

HCO3- is a Lowry acid as it is donating proton in this reaction, whereas H2O is behaving as a
Lowry – Bronsted base as it is accepting a proton.

ii. NH3 (g) + HNO3 ⇌ NH4 NO3

NH3 (g) + HNO3⇌ NH4+ (aq) + NO3_ (aq)

NH3 is a Lowry Bronsted base due to accepting proton and HNO3 is a Lowry Bronsted Acid
as it is acting as a proton donor.

iii. F- + BF3 ⇌ BF4

Above is a lewis Acid-Base pair as it accepts an electron (BF3) and donates electron pair (F-)
No Lowry Acid – Base found.

iv. CH3COOH + H2O ⇌ CH3 COO - + H3O+

Q:4(a) What is hard water? Explain the methods for removing temporary hardness of
water.

Ans: Hard Water

Ans: “Water that gives a little lather or form scum with soap is called hard water”.

Methods of removing temporary hardness

i) By boiling
Temporary hardness of water can simply be removed by boiling . During
boiling the soluble calcium and magnesuim hydrogen carbonates are
decomposed forming insoluble carbonates.
Since Ca+2and Mg+2 ions are removed as insoluble carbonates, water
becomes soft.
M(HCO3)2 (aq) → MCO3(s) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

Where M = Ca +2 or Mg+2
Unfortunately ,this method is too expensive to remove temporary hardness
of water on the large scale.
ii) By adding slaked lime(Clark’s method)
Temporary hardness in water on the large scale can be removed by adding
an estimated amount of Slaked line in it.
The slaked line reacts with the hydrogen carbonates to form insoluble
carbonates.
Ca(HCO3)2 (aq) + Ca(OH)2 → 2CaCO3 (s) + 2H2O (l)
Mg(HCO3)2 (aq) + Ca(OH)2 → CaCO3 + MgCO3+ H2O

Q:4 (b) What are nucleic Acid? Describe structure and function of DNA.
Ans: Nucleic Acid
Nucleic acids are vital components of all life. They are found in every living cell.
They serve as the information and control centre of the cell. They are long
chain of nucleotides each nucleotide consist of three components.
i. Nitrogenous base
ii. A pentose sugar or five carbon sugar
iii. Phosphate group.

DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA)

Structure of DNA
DNA exists in the form of two strands twisted around each other in a spiral
formation called a double tlelix.
 Each chair or strand is made up of a deoxyribose sugar, phosphate unit and
nitrogenous base. The strands are held together by hydrogen bonds.
Nitrogenous bases

Sugar phosphate backbone

STRUCTURE OF DNA

Function of DNA
1. Stores Information which is used to produce proteins.
2. It stores genetic information and passes it on from generation to generation due
to it’s double strand.

Q:5 (a) What is functional group? Identify the functional group in the following organic
compound:

(i) CH3COCH3 (ii) CH3COOH (iii) HCOCH3

Ans: Functional Group
An atom or a group of atom that determines the characteristic properties of an
organic compound is called a functional group.

3. It pollutes groundwater, streams, and coastal oceans.

xv. Hard water hampers cleansing action of soap. Identify the substances that causes
hardness in water.

Ans. The calcium in hard water retards the cleaning action of soap. The home
owner will use up to twice as much soap or detergents and use hotter water
when cleaning with hard water than with soft water. Hard water also combines
with soaps to form a curd known as “soap scum”.

SECTION – C (Marks 20)

Note: Attempt any TWO questions. All questions carry equal marks. (2  10 = 20)

Q.3 a. A student collected two samples A and B of hard water from different areas of
Rawalpindi. Sample A on boiling gives white precipitate while sample B does not
give white precipitate. Identify A and B by chemical reactions. (04)

Ans. Ca(HCO3)2 CaCO3+ CO2+ H2O

CaCl2 No white ppt.
Ca(HCO3)2 causes temporary hardness so on heating white ppt of CaCO3 are formed.
Sample B contains CaCl2 which causes permanent hardness, so it will not give white ppt on
heating.

b. H3PO4 donates three hydrogen ions. Reaction of KOH with H3PO4 gives three salts.
KH2PO4, K2HPO4 and K3 HPO4. Identify the nature of each salt and write reaction for the
formation of each. (06)

Ans.
H3PO4+ KOH KH2PO4+H2O

H3PO4+ 2 KOH K2HPO4+2H2O

H3PO4+ 3KOH K3PO4+ 3H2O

KH2PO4, K2HPO4 have acidic nature while K3PO4 is neutral.

Q.4 a. Propose the steps involved in the extraction of Copper metal by reactions. (05)

Ans.
By Bessemerization:
As the mineral has been freed of gangue the concentrated is passed through some chemical
process to extract pure metal. In the extraction of copper metal by reduction the Bessemer
converter is used. The concentrated cuprous sulphide is roasted in the presence of air and formed
cuprous oxide. Cuprous oxide then reduces into copper metal. The copper obtained is called
blister copper because 𝑆𝑂2 produced during this reaction gets trapped inside its surface causing
blisters to appear on the surface of copper metal.
2𝐶𝑢2 S + 3𝑂2 → 2𝐶𝑢2 O + 2𝑆𝑂2
𝐶𝑢2 S + 2𝐶𝑢2 O → 6𝐶𝑢 + 𝑆𝑂2
By Electrolytic refining of copper:
On passing electric current through the acidified copper sulphate solution, impure copper
dissolves forming 𝐶𝑢+2 ions. These ions gains electrons at cathode and form Cu atoms, which
are deposited on the cathode. In this way pure copper is collected at cathode.

At anode: Cu → 𝐶𝑢+2+ 2𝑒 − (Oxidation)

At cathode: 𝐶𝑢+2+ 2𝑒 − → Cu (Reduction)

b. Write down five properties of organic compounds. (05)

Ans.
1. Mainly carbon, hydrogen is the main constituent of organic compound. Other elements
like nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen and halogens are present in many organic compounds.
2. Organic compounds are soluble in organic solvents.
3. Organic compounds are generally covalent in nature.
4. Organic compounds are volatile. So, they have low melting and boiling points.

Q.5 a. Enlist the diseases caused by the deficiency of vitamin A and D. (04)

Ans. “Deficiency diseases are diseases that are caused by the lack of certain essential
nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals, in one’s diet over a prolonged period of time.”
Vitamin A:
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Deficiency of vitamin A leads to night blindness and skin
problems such as dryness, itching, and scaling.
Vitamin D:
Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets, which leads to the weakening of bones, especially near the
joints. It can also lead to the decaying of teeth and osteomalacia.

b. Enlist the names of layers of atmosphere and explain two layers which are nearest to the
Earth. (06)

Ans. The atmosphere is divided into four layers. And the nearest layers to the earth surface are
troposphere and stratosphere.
1) Troposphere
2) Stratosphere
3) Mesosphere
4) Thermosphere
1) Troposphere:
The layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth is the troposphere. It begins at the surface of the Earth
and extends to about 12 km above the Earth’s surface. It is the layer of atmosphere in which we live.
Weather occurs in this layer. The temperature of the troposphere decreases with height. On average, for
every 1 km increase in altitude, the air gets about 6.5 °C cooler.
2) Stratosphere:
The second layer as one moves upward from the Earth’s Surface is called stratosphere. The layer
extends from top of the troposphere to about 50 km above the Earth’s surface. This layer
contains maximum amount of ozone and little amount of water vapour. Ozone saves us from
harmful effects of incoming ultraviolet radiations from the sun. In the stratosphere, temperature
varies from -55 C to -5 C.

v. Barium nitrate Ba (NO3)2 is used to produce a green color in fire work. It is

the product of Barium Hydroxide with HNO3. Propose its balanced
chemical equation.

Ans: Nitric acid + Barium hydroxide → Barium nitrate + water

HNO3 + Ba (OH) 2 → Ba (NO)3 + H2O
HNO3 contains one neutralization H- atom and Ba (OH)2 contains two OH-groups. So,
multiply HNO3 by 2.

SECTION – C (Marks 20)

Q.3.a. Propose the basic reactions of Solvay process for the manufacturing of
washing soda.

Ans:
The Solvay process is an industrial process that uses limestone (CaCO3) to produce
carbon dioxide (CO2) which reacts with ammonia (NH3) dissolved in brine
(concentrated NaCl(aq)) to produce sodium carbonates.

The key reaction in Solvay synthesis is,

CaO makes a strong basic solution. The ammonia from reaction (III) is recycled
back to the initial brine solution of reaction (I).
 The sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) precipitate from reaction (I) is then converted
to the final product, sodium carbonate (washing soda: Na2CO3),
by calcination (160–230 °C), producing water and carbon dioxide as byproducts:
The carbon dioxide from step (IV) is recovered for re-use in step (I). When
properly designed and operated, a Solvay plant can reclaim almost all its ammonia,
and consumes only small amounts of additional ammonia to make up for losses.
The only major inputs to the Solvay process are salt, limestone and thermal energy,
and its only major byproduct is calcium chloride, which is sometimes sold as road
salt.

b. State and explain necessary conditions for equilibrium. (4)

volume.
Importance of water in industry:
i. 80% of the human body is made up of water.
ii. Water is a crucial element of our food and environment.
iii. 75% of the earth’s surface is made up of water.
iv. Only 3% is fresh water.

valuable resource the Earth would not exist.
iii. The daily life itself and conduct of the simplest actions require the use of
water in the field of agriculture and industry.

b. Prove that 10-14=[H+] [OH-] for the self-ionization of water at 25°C. (4)

Ans:
The self-ionization of water (also autoionization of water, and auto dissociation of
water) is an ionization reaction in pure water or in an aqueous solution, in which a
water molecule, H2O, deprotonates (loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms)
to become a hydroxide ion, OH−.The hydrogen nucleus, H+,
immediately protonates another water molecule to form hydronium, H3O+.

According to the law of mass action

Kc [ ] [ ] [ ]
KC. H2O = KW
KW [ ] [ ]
As, H+ = OH-
At 25oC the concentration of H+ is equal to 1x 10-7 and same for OH- ion.
By putting the value in equation
kw = (1x 10-7) (1x 10-7)
kw = 1x 10 -14
as kw is the water dissociation constant.
1x10-14 = [H+][OH-]
