25. (i) compression of air 1/2
The process is rapid enough to be treated almost as adiabatic. Since work is done on the gas.
This causes increase in the energy and as a result of which temperature increases. 1/2
(ii) entropy decreases due to change from liquid matter to Solid . 1
26. H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide acts as a strong oxidizing agent both in acidic and basic media. 1
When added to a cloth, it breaks the chemical bonds of the chromophores (colour producing
agents). Hence, the visible light is not absorbed and the cloth gets whitened. 1

critical temperature. 1

32. (a) The oxidation state of Ag in AgF2 is +2. But, +2 is an unstable oxidation state of Ag. Therefore,
whenever AgF2 is formed, silver readily accepts an electron to form Ag+. This helps to bring the
oxidation state of Ag down from +2 to a more stable state of +1. As a result, AgF2 acts as a very
strong oxidizing agent. 1

For Visually impaired students only
In (SO2), (O.N.) of S is +4 and the range of the O.N. that S can have is from +6 to -2.
In hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the O.N. of O is -1 and the range of the O.N. that O can have is from
0 to -2. O can sometimes also attain the oxidation numbers +1 and +2. Hence, H2O2can act as an
oxidising as well as a reducing agent.
In nitric acid (HNO3), the O.N. of N is +5 and the range of the O.N. that N can have is from +5 to -
3. Therefore, the O.N. of N can only decrease in this case. Hence, HNO3acts only as an oxidant.

(a) Lithium is the smallest in size among the alkali metals. Hence, Li+ ion can polarize water
molecules more easily than other alkali metals. 1
(b) because of the greater ionic character of LiF as compared to LiCl. 1

(c) Due to the resonatice , π e's are delocalized and can move freely about the six carbon nuclei.
Even after the presence of three double bonds, these delocalized π-electrons stabilize benzene. 1

(a) i) because the amount of vapour remains the same, but the volume increases suddenly. As a
result, the same amount of vapour is distributed in a larger volume. 1
ii) The vapour pressure depends on temperature and not on volume. Hence, the final vapour

(a) an electron-seeking reagent is called an electrophile (E+). Carbocations and neutral
molecules having functional groups such as carbonyl group are examples of electrophiles.
a nucleus-seeking reagent is called a nulceophile (Nu:). For eg. OH-,carbanions
(b) i)It is based on the difference in the solubilites of the compound and the impurities in a given
solvent. 1
(ii) Distillation ;It is based on the fact that liquids having different boiling points vapourise at
different temperatures. 1
