The galvanic cells in which the energy of combustion of fuels is
directly converted into electrical energy are called fuel cells. One of
the reactants is fuel such as hydrogen or methanol.
a) Pollution free
b) High efficiency

a) First order
b) Slope = -K
c) S-1
SECTION C
17 a. Aniline is acetylated, before nitration reaction in order to avoid formation of tarry 3
oxidation products and protecting the amino group, so that p -nitro derivative can be
obtained as major product.
b. Due to the presence of acidic hydrogen in the N-alkylbenzenesulphonamide formed by the
treatment of primary amines.
c. . Aniline does not react with methylchloride in the presence of AlCl3 catalyst , because
aniline is a base and AlCl3 is Lewis acid which lead to formation of salt.

a) Aromatic carboxylic acids do not undergo Friedel-Crafts
reaction as the carboxyl (−COOH) group is deactivating and
Lewis acid catalyst AlCl3 gets bonded to the carboxyl group.
The carboxyl (−COOH) group withdraws electron density from
benzene ring through inductive and resonance effects.

b) As 4-nitrobenzoic acid contains –NO2 group which is an

electron withdrawing group resulting in higher acidity than
benzoic acid. Greater is the acidic character lower is the pKa
value.

SECTION D
23 a) 5

a) It is used for the inflow and outflow of electrons.

b) HCl will have greater value of molar conductivity because H+ ions are smaller than Na+
ions and hence H+ ions have greater ionic mobility than Na+ ions.
