SECTION-A

The following questions are multiple-choice questions with one correct answer. Each question carries
1 mark. There is no internal choice in this section.

1. What is the amount of water produced when 8g of hydrogen is reacted with 32g of oxygen?
(a) 2 mole
The chemical equation of water formation is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.
Though we have 8g of hydrogen, here oxygen is the limiting
reagent. So the only 4g of hydrogen can be used to produce water
i.e. 36g of water. That is 2 moles.

(c) 4,1,0,1/2 (d) 4,4,0,1/2

3. Which of the following molecules have trigonal planar geometry?

(a) BF3 (b) NH3
(c) PCl3 (d) IF3

4. An isolated system is a system in which

(a) there is no exchange of energy with the surrounding.
(b) there is exchange of mass and energy with the surrounding.
(c) there is no exchange of energy and mass with the surrounding.
(d) there is no exchange of mass with the surrounding.

Correct option is C)

Tertiary carbocations are stable due to inductive effect (+I effect of alkyl groups) and hyperconjugation.

Tert. carbocation has greater number of alpha H in comparison to sec carbocation. This increases hyperconjugation which results to its

greater stability.

8. What acts as electrophile in Sulphonation of benzene?

(a) SO2 (b) SO3H+
(c) SO3 (d) SO3H–

Sulphur trioxide SO3 is active species in sulphonation of benzene.

SO3 acts as an electrophile and accepts a pair of pi electrons from benzene.

Note: Sulphonation of benzene is the substitution of the hydrogen atom of benzene molecule by −SO3H (sulphonic

acid) group.

23. (i)Define enthalpy of fusion.( The amount of heat energy required to convert a unit mass of a solid at its
melting point into a liquid without an increase in temperature is called enthalpy of fusion.)
(ii) Is the enthalpy of neutrilisation of HCl is same as that of H 2SO4. Justify your answer 2
(Heat of neutralisation of strong acid with strong base is constant (−137 kcal. mol−1). Since HCl and H2SO4 are both
strong acid so the heat of neutralisation will be same.)

24. Define hydrogen bond. Why do compounds having hydrogen bonding have high melting
and boiling points? 2
Hydrogen bond is a electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom which is bond to a more electronegative atom such as
Nitrogen, Oxygen, fluorine.
Because hydrogen bonds are rather strong intermolecular interactions, breaking them requires a great deal of energy.

25. Explain the trends in following physical properties while moving across the period in a

27. (i) If 10 volumes of dihydrogen gas react with five volumes of dioxygen gas,
how many volumes of water vapour would be produced?
H 2 +O 2 →H 2 O(g)

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is,

2H2+O2→2H2O.

The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles

Thus, 2 volumes of dihydrogen react with 1 volume of oxygen to form 2 volumes of water.

Thus, 10 volumes of dihydrogen react with 5 volume of oxygen to form 10 volumes of water.

(ii) How many moles of methane are required to produce 22g CO2 (g) after combustion?
CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)

CH4+O2⟶CO2+2H2O

Gram molecular mass of CO2 = 12 +2(16) = 44g/mol

From the reaction it is clear that 1 mole of methane on complete combustion prod

uces 44g (1 mole) of carbon dioxide.

Therefore moles of CH4 required to produce 22g of CO2 are:

=441×22=0.5 mol

N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g)
(i) 28.0 g of N2 require 6.0 g of H2 to produce

=34.0 g of NH3

2.00×103g of N2 will produce

=2834×2.00×103g of NH3

=2.43×103g of NH3

=2430 g NH3

(ii) Yes, dihydrogen will remain unreacted to some extent

(iii) Amount of hydrogen that remains unreacted.

28.0 g of N2 require 6.0 g of H2

2.00 g×103g of N2 will require

=28.06.0×2.00×103 of H2=428.5 g of H2

∴ Amount of hydrogen that remains unreacted

=[1.00×103−428.5]g

=571.5 g.

escape the liquid surface into the vapour phase and number of liquid molecules from the vapour

Final Examination/2022-23/11-CHEMISTRY Page 7 of 7

 phase strike the liquid surface and are retained in the liquid phase. It gives rise to a constant
vapour pressure because of an equilibrium in which the number of molecules leaving the liquid
equals the number returning to liquid from the vapour. We say that the system has reached
equilibrium state at this stage. At equilibrium, the rate of evaporation is equal to the
rate of condensation. It may be represented by
H 2 O (l) ⇌ H 2 O (vap)
The mixture of reactants and products in the equilibrium state is called an equilibrium mixture.
Equilibrium can be established for both physical processes and chemical reactions. When the reactants
in a closed vessel at a particular temperature react to give products, the concentrations of the reactants
keep on decreasing, while those of products keep on increasing for some time after which there is no
change in the concentrations of either of the reactants or products. This stage of the system is the
dynamic equilibrium. It is seen that acid (or base) dissociation equilibrium is dynamic involving a
transfer of proton in forward and reverse directions. The concept of conjugate acid-base pair is related
to Bronsted -Lowry acid-base theory and according to this theory, acid is a proton donor while base is a
proton acceptor.

(a) The ionisation of hydrochloric in water is given below:

HCI(aq) + H2O (l) ⇋ H3O+ (aq) + CI– (aq)

Label two conjugate acid-base pairs in this ionisation. HCl(acid)→ Cl− (Conjugate base)
H2O(base)→ H3O+ (Conjugate acid) 1

(b) In a given acidic buffer solution (CH3COOH +CH3COONa), What ionic species are mainly
present in the solution.( CH 3 COO – ( aq ) Acetate ion , H 3 O + ( aq ) Hydronium ion, Na+) 1

(c) On basis of Le-Chatelier’s principle explain how can the temperature and pressure
be adjusted to increase the yield of ammonia in the following reaction.
N 2 (g)+3H 2 (g) ⇌ 2NH 3 (g), ΔH=−92.38kJ mo l

i) Since △H is negative that means forward reaction is exothermic.

ii) Now according to Le Chatelier’s principle, for an exothermic reaction decrease in temperature favors the forward reaction.
For more yield of ammonia, temperature should be kept low, and if the temperature is increased, the reaction will move in bac kward direction and yield of Ammonia
will be less.
iii) According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if the pressure is increased the equilibrium will shift in the direction having less number of gaseous moles. In
N2(g)+3H2(g)⇋2NH3(g) reaction,
No. of moles of gaseous reactants =1+3=4
No. of moles of gaseous product =2
This means, on increasing the pressure, equilibrium will shift to forward direction yielding more ammonia.
Therefore, low temperature and high pressure are favorable conditions to increase the yield of ammonia

OR

10–3 mol L–1 , 1.2 × 10–3 mol L–1 and 1.2 × 10–3 mol L–1 respectively. The value of Kc for the reaction
PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g) → PCl5 (g)

Final Examination/2022-23/11-CHEMISTRY Page 8 of 7

The correct option is B 1.8×10−3
PCl5(g)⇌PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)

At equilibrium,

Kc=[PCl3][Cl2][PCl5] -----------(1)

Kc=[PCl5][Cl2][PCl5]molL×mol/Lmol/L

=1.2×10−3×1.2×10−30.8×10−3mol/L

Kc=1.8×10−3mol/L

Therefore, the correct options is (B) 1.8×10−3mol/L

32. Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. Two atomic orbitals combine to form
two molecular orbitals called bonding molecular orbital (BMO) and anti bonding molecular
orbital (ABMO). Energy of anti-bonding orbital is raised above the parent atomic orbitals that
have combined and the energy of the bonding orbital is lowered than the parent atomic orbitals.
Different atomic orbitals of one atom combine with those atomic orbitals of the second atom which
have comparable energies and proper orientation. Further, if the overlapping is head on, the
molecular orbital is called ‘Sigma’, (σ) and if the overlap is lateral, the molecular orbital is called ‘pi’,
(π). The molecular orbitals are filled with electrons according to the same rules as followed for filling
of atomic orbitals. However, the order for filling is not the same for all molecules or their ions.
Bond order is one of the most important parameters to compare the strength of bonds.

The bond enthalpies of H-H, Br-Br and H-Br are 435 kJ mol-1, 192 kJ mol-1
and 364 kJ mol-1 respectively. 2

Δr H = ∑B.E. (Reactants) – ∑B.E. (Products) = [B.E. (H2) + B.E. (Br2 )] – 2 B.E. (HBr) = 435 + 192 – 2 ×
364 =
– 101 kJ
(b) What do you mean by thermodynamics state functions. Give two examples. 2
(c) State Hess’s Law of Constant Heat Summation. 1

at the same temperature.

OR

(a) Define specific heat capacity and molar heat capacity. 2

(b) Write mathematical equations of first law of thermodynamics for the following processes
(i) Adiabatic process (ii) Isochoric process

(a) In adiabatic process, there is no exchange of heat thus q=0. So First law becomes ΔU=W.

(b) Isochoric process, as it is carried in closed vessel ΔV=0 thus W=0. So first law becomes ΔU=q.

(c) Calculate the ΔH of the following reaction:

CO2 (g) + H2O (g) → H2CO3 (g)
If the standard values of ΔHf are
CO2 (g): -393.509 KJ /mol,
H2O (g) : -241.83 KJ/mol, and
H2CO3(g) : -275.2 KJ/mol.
1. ΔHº = ∑Δvp ΔHºf(products) - ∑Δ vr ΔHºf(reactants) so this means that you
add up the sum of the ΔH's of the products and subtract away the ΔH of the
products: (-275.2kJ) - (-393.509kJ + -241.83kJ) = (-275.2) - (-635.339) =
+360.139 kJ.
