Section B
Q17. (a) 8 g of sulphur will produce CS2 = 76/64 × 8 = 9.5 g Amount of carbon reacted = 12/64 × 8 = 1.5g
Amount of carbon left = 4 – 1.5 = 2.5 g Total weight of the products = 9.5 + 2.5 = 12 g % purity of
CS2 in the product = 9.5/12 × 100 = 79.2.
Q18. Wavelength of red light (λ) = 7500 Å = 7500×10−10 m.
As we know : Energy of light = hc/λ
∴ Energy = 6.626×10−34Js ×3×108m/s/7500×10−10m = 2.6504 × 10−19J
& for green light wavelength (λ) = 5250 Å = 5250×10−10 m
∴ Energy = 6.626×10−34Js ×3×108m/s/5250×10−10m = 3.7863 × 10−19J
Thus, red light with greater wavelength has lower energy than green light.

Q19. There are unpaired electrons in 2p orbitals of both carbon and boron. But in carbon since positive
charge is slightly greater thus it's first ionization energy is greater than that of boron.
Now for second ionization enthalpy when first electron has already been removed from both carbon
and boron. Carbon has its p electron at almost same distance form the nucleus as it earlier had the
outermost electron in first ionization, But in the case of boron, the second electron is to be removed
from sub-level s orbital which more closer to the nucleus. Thus, Second ionization enthalpy of boron
is slightly greater than that of carbon.

Q20. The enthalpy of combustion of 1 mol of benzene is:

C6H6(l)+152O2⟶6CO2(g)+3H2O(l);△fH⊖=−3267 kJ mol−1…(i)
The enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of CO2(g):
C(graphite)+O2(g)⟶CO2(g);△fH⊖=−393.5 kJ mol−1…(ii)
The enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of H2O(l) is:
H2(g)+12O2(g)→H2O(l); △CH⊖=−285.83 kJ mol−1…(iii)
The formation reaction of benzene is given by:
6C(graphite)+3H2(g)→C6H6(l);△fH⊖=?…(iv)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 6 and equation (iii) by 3 we get,
6C(graphite)+6O2(g)→6CO2(g);△fH⊖=−2361 kJ mol−1
3H2(g)+32O2(g)→3H2O(l);△fH⊖=−857.49 kJ mol−1
Summing up the above two equations:
6C(graphite)+3H2(g)+152O2(g)→6CO2(g)+3H2O(l);
△fH⊖=−3218.49 kJ mol−1….(v)
Reversing equation (i):
6CO2(g)+3H2O(l)→C6H6(l)+152O2;△fH⊖=+3267.0 kJ mol−1….(vi)
Adding equation (v) and (vi), we get
6C(graphite)+3H2(g)→C6H6(l)….(iv);
(△H⊖)Benzene=−3218.49+3267; (△fH⊖)Benzene=48.51 kJ mol−1

Q21. Work done is given as: w=−Pext△V

But since gas enters the vacuum bulb and pressure in vacuum is zero. And expansion against
vacuum (Pext=0) called as free expansion so, work done is zero. Adiabatic expansion q=0, & ∆U =0
Section C

Q22. For dilute solutions, 1 L of water (or 1 L of solution) contains 1000/18=55.55 moles of water.
Let n be the number of moles of ethanol. The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.040.
Hence, 0.040=n/n+55.55
n=0.040n+2.222
n=2.222/1−0.040=2.31 moles.
The molarity of the solution is the ratio of the number of moles of solute present in 1 L of solution.
As 1 L of solution contains 2.31 moles of ethanol, the molarity of a solution is 2.31 M.
(B) W=17.2×162/100=28
Number of atoms is equals to weight/molecular weight
So 28/14 is equals to 2
So 2 atoms are present in the given alkaloid.
Q23. (a) 1/λ=R[1/n21−1/n22]=109677 ×[1/22−1/62] = 24372.66 , λ = 4.10 x 10-5
(b) n=3, l=2.
Q24. (a) pH = 5 means [H+]=10−5M. On diluting 100 times , [H+]=10−5/100=10−7M.
This should give pH = 7 but it cannot be so because solution is acidic and pH should be less than 7
The reason is that [H+] from H2O cannot be neglected. Thus, total [H+]=10−7M (from HCl) + 10−7 M
(from H2O ) =2×10−7M
∴pH=−log(2×10−7)=7−0.3010=6.699.

 (b) ∴ S=1×10−3 mol/L
Solubility of Al(OH)3=1×10−3mol/L
So, Solubility of Al(OH)3 in g/L= Molar mass × Solubility in mol/L
=78×10−3g/L=7.8×10−2g/L
Q25. (a) Cr2O72- + 3H2C2O4 + H2O → 2Cr3+ + 6CO2 + 8OH-
(b) O= +1
Q26. (a) Non-aromatic, aromatic

(b) I < −F < −COOH < −CN < −NO2.
Q28. (a)(i) (ii)

(b)

Q29. (a) Greater is the electronegativity difference between the two bonded atoms, greater is the ionic
character. Therefore, increasing order of ionic character of the given bonds is as follows
C−H < N−H < O−H < F−H

(b) Hybridisation: sp3d2

[Cd2+][Cl-]4
(b) Let x be the degree of dissociation.
x=√Kac=√1.32×10−5 x 0.05=0.0162
(c) pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])
we can substitute the values into the equation:
4 = 3.74 + log(HCOO-/ HCOOH); log(HCOO-/ HCOOH)= 0.26; (HCOO-/ HCOOH) = 1.8
OR
(c) 0.4 moles of water reacts with 0.4 mole of CO to form 0.4 moles of hydrogen and 0.4 moles of
carbon dioxide.
The equilibrium molar concentrations are:
[H2]=0.410=0.04M; [CO2]=0.410=0.04M ; [H2O]=0.610=0.06M; [CO]=0.610=0.06M
The equilibrium constant is K=[H2][CO2]/[H2O][CO]=0.04×0.04/0.06×0.06=0.444.

Q31. (a) In case of sodium, the second electron has to be removed from the stable noble gas configuration.
Consequently, the removal of a second electron from sodium requires more energy in comparison to
that required in magnesium. Therefore, the second ionization enthalpy of sodium is higher than that
of magnesium and has a larger difference.
(b) When an atom forms an anion, the number of protons remains the same but the number of electrons
becomes more. The repulsive force between the electrons becomes more than the attraction of the
positively charged nucleus and as a result, the electron cloud of the anion spreads and becomes bigger
in size.
(c) CaF2.
(d) Fluorine is most electronegative and iodine is the least electronegative element. So charge
polarisation is most in HF and least in HI and hence HF has the highest dipole moment than other
element. electronegativity of halogen decreases in the order of:
HF>HCl>HBr>HI
(e) The correct order of their non-metallic characters is F > N > C > B > Si. (G)
(f) Van der waals radii is the internuclear distance between the two non-bonded atoms of a same
element and it decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom in the periodic table hence
Cl has a larger vander waals radii
(g) Unbipentium
Q32. (a) ΔHo=ΔHof(products)−ΔHof(reactants)=[ΔHo(N2O)+2×ΔHo (H2O)]−[ΔHo(NH4NO3)]
=81.46+2×(−285.78)−(−367.5)=−122.56kJ
We know that ΔH=ΔU+ΔnRT
ΔU=ΔH−ΔnRT
Δn=2,R=8.314×10−3kJmol−1K−1,T=298K
ΔU=−122.56−(1)(8.314×10−3)(298)=−125.037kJ
(b) ∆G=∆H-T∆S; 0= 51500 – T (123.1) (At boiling temp, liquid and gas states are at eqb)
T= 51500/123.1 =418.359 K.
(c) The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two bodies are each in thermal equilibrium with
some third body, then they are also in equilibrium with each other
OR
(a)3C(g)+6H(g)+O(g)→CH3COCH3(g)
In acetone, six C−H bonds, one C=O bond and two C−C bonds are present.
Energy released in the formation of these bonds is =−6×413.4−728.0−2×3470=−3902.4kJmol−1
The equation of the enthalpy of formation of acetone is
3Cgraphite+3H2(g)+1/2O2(g)→CH3COCH3(g);ΔH=?
This equation can be obtained from the following equations by adding:
3C(s)+6H(g)+O(g)→CH3COCH3(g);ΔH=−3904kJmol−1
3C(s)→3C(g);ΔH=2155.2kJmol−1
3H2→6H(g);ΔH=1307.4kJmol−1
and 1/2O2(g)→O(g);ΔH=247.5kJmol−1;
3C(s)+3H2(g)+ 1/2O2 (g)→CH3COCH3(g);ΔH=−192.3kJmol−1
(b) Heat required = mC∆T = 0.1 x 240 x130 = 3120 J.
(c) Cp - Cv = nR = 10 x 8.314 = 83.14 J
Q33. (a) Two primary alkyl halides with molecular formula C4H9Br are possible. They are n-butyl
bromide and isobutyl bromide.
When (a) is reacted with sodium metal it gives compound (d), C8H18 which is different from the
compound formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium. Hence, compound a is isobutyl
bromide and compound d is 2,5-dimethylhexane.

(b) The Lindlar's catalyst is a mixture of Pd and calcium carbonate. It is used for the selective reduction
of alkynes to cis alkenes.
OR
(a) (i) (ii)

(b) When HBr is added to unsymmetrical alkenes in the presence of peroxide, 1-bromopropane is
formed contrary to 2-bromopropane (according to Markovnikov’s rule).

(c) The compound n-pentane has the highest boiling point. The boiling point of simple long chain
compound is higher than the branched chain compound because the surface area of the simple long-
chain compound will be more as compared to the branched chain compound. So, less temperature
will be required for branched chain compound as compared to simple long chain compound.
