25. (a)comp a, 1-bromo butane 1
(b)p-isomers are comparetively more symmetrical and fit closely in the crystal lattice, thus
require more heat to break these strong forces of attraction. Therefore higher melting point than 1
o- and m-isomers.
(c)(±)-Butan-2-ol is optically inactive because in racemic mix one type of rotation is cancelled 1
by other.

30. (a)correct diagram 1

(b)eg orbital experience more repulsion that t2g orbital in octahedral aseg 1
orbital lies along the axes,while t2g orbitals lie in between the axis.
(c)for weak fieldspin, d4=t32ge1g 1
CFSE=(–0.4×3+0.6×1)Δo 1
=(–1.2+0.6)Δo=–0.6Δo
OR
correct answer as above
31. (a)Volume decreases by mixing X and Y. It shows negative deviations from Raoult’s law. There 1
will be rise in temperature. (∆Hmix <0)

(b)Liquid mixture which distills without change in compositions are called azeotropic mixtures 1
or Azeotropes. 1
In positive deviations from Raoult’s law, minimum boiling point azeotropic mixture is formed.
For example, 95% ethanol + 5% water.

(c)Since one mol of KCl gives 2 mole particles,

the value of i = 2, ΔTf, = 2K, Kf = 1.86 kg mol-1
1/2
Applying equation, ΔTf = iKf
1
m = ΔTfiKf=22×1.86=11.86 = 0.54 mol kg-1
∴ 0.54 mole of KC1 should be added to 1 kg of water
Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5 g
1/2
∴ Amount of KCl = 0.54 × 74.5 g = 40.05 g

OR
(a)positive deviation. In pure ethanol, molecules are hydrogen bonded. On 1/2,1/2
adding acetone, its molecules get in between the host molecules and break
some of the hydrogen bonds between them.
