Q12: FeSO4 solution mixed with ammonium sulphate solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives positive test for ferrous ions but CuSO4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratios does not give test for Cu2+ ions. Why? View Answer
Answer:
When ferrous sulphate solution is mixed with ammonium sulphate in 1:1 ratio, a double salt called Mohr’s salt is formed FeSO4 (NH4) 2SO4.6H2O. Double salt ionizes in water giving Fe2+ ions. But when CuSO4 is mixed with aqueous ammonia, there is formation of a coordination complex [Cu(NH3) 4]SO4, which does not give Cu2+ ions in solution.     (2)
 
Q13: A compound is formed by two elements A and B. Atoms of B make a ccp arrangement and those of A occupy half the tetrahedral voids and all the octahedral voids. Derive the formula of the compound.
OR
Potassium crystallizes in bcc lattice. What is the number of unit cells in 3.9g of K? Atomic Mass of K = 39u
View Answer
Answer:
ccp is formed by B, thus number of B = 8X1/8=1     (0.5)
Number of octahedral voids= No. of B = 1

Number of tetrahedral voids= 2xNo. of B = 2

No. of A = 1+ 2x1/2= 2 (0.5)
Formula of the compound is BA2     (1)

OR

For bcc, number of atoms per unit cell = 2
No. of atoms in 3.9g of K = 3.9x6.022x1023/39= 6.022x1022     (1)
No. of unit cells in 3.9 g of K = 6.022x1022/2 = 3.011x1022     (1)
 
Q14: Calculate the percentage of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in Fe 0.93O1.00. View Answer
Answer:
Let % of Fe2+ be x
            % of Fe3+ be (0.93- x )
Total charge on cations is equal to total charge on anions.

2x + 3(0.93-x) = 2     (0.5) 2x + 3(0.93-x) - 2 =0

x= 0.79 (0.5)

% of Fe2+ = = 84.9%     (0.5)
% of Fe3+ = 15.1%     (0.5)

Q16: What are antihistamines? Give an example. Discuss their working in the human body. View Answer
Answer:
The drugs which counteract the effect of histamines released due to allergic reactions are antihistamines. Eg. Chlorpheniramine (1)
They compete with histamines for binding to the receptor at the site where histamine exerts its effect, hence they interfere with normal action of histamines.     (1)

C6H5CH2Br<C6H5CH(CH3)Br< C6H5CH(C6H5)Br< C6H5C(CH3)( C6H5)Br.(SN1)     (1)
C6H5C(CH3)( C6H5)Br< C6H5CH(C6H5)Br < C6H5CH(CH3)Br <C6H5CH2Br .(SN2)     (1)
 
Q18: What happens when
(a) Chloroethane is made to react with KCN
(b) 1-bromopropane reacts with silver acetate
Give equations involved.
View Answer
Answer:
When chloroethane reacts with KCN, propanenitrile is formed with liberation of potassium chloride
CH3CH2Cl + KCN à CH3CH2CN + KCl     (1)
When 1-bromopropane reacts with silver acetate, propyl ethanoate and silver bromide are formed
CH3CH2 CH2Br + CH3COOAg --à CH3COOCH2CH2CH3 + AgBr     (1)
 
Q19: Why is boiling point of a solution containing non volatile solute more than that of pure solvent? Explain graphically. View Answer
Answer:
Boiling point is the temperature at which vapour pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. In a solution containing non volatile solute, vapour pressure is lowered as surface of liquid is occupied by some molecules of non volatile solute also. Hence high temperature is required to boil it.     (1)

Q21:
(a) What is meant by peptisation? Explain.
(b) Why does a sugar solution containing coloured impurities become colourless when passed over activated charcoal?
(c) What are associated colloids? Give an example.
View Answer
Answer:
(a) The process of converting a freshly prepared precipitate into a colloid in the presence of a peptizing agent is called peptusation. During this process, the precipitate adsorbs one of the ions and gets converted to a colloid.     (1)

(b) Activated charcoal adsorbs coloured impurities present in solution thus the remaining solution is colourless.     (1)

(c) The substances which behave as strong electrolyte at low concentration. And at higher concentration behave as colloid due to formation of aggregates is called associated colloids.
Eg. Soap solution.     (1)
 
Q22:
(a) Can Al be used to reduce CaO? Explain your answer.
ΔfG0CaO = -604.2KJmol-1 ΔfG0Al2O3 = - 1582.4 KJmol-1
(b) State the principle behind zone refining.
View Answer
Answer:
(a) 3CaO + 2 Al ----à Al2O3 + 3Ca
ΔrG0= ΔrG0Al2O3 -3ΔfG0CaO     (1)
= -1582.4 -3x(-604.2) = 230.2 KJmol-1

since ΔrG0 is positive, reduction reaction is not feasible. (1)

(b) The principle behind zone refining is that impurities are more soluble in molten metal than in solid metal.     (1)
 
Q23:
(i)Give reason for the following
    a) NH3 is a good complexing agent.

(ii) What are the products of complete hydrolysis of XeF6?
OR
(i) Bond dissociation energy of F2 is less than that of Cl2. Why?
(ii) Oxygen is a gas while sulphur is a solid.Why?
(iii) Which compound of Xe is isostructural with IF5? What is the shape of the molecules?
View Answer
Answer:
  1.  
    1. Ammonia has lone pair on N atom which is easily available for donation due to small size and high electronegativity of N.     (1)
    2. N exibihits oxidation states like +2,+3,0,-3 etc. in HNO2, N has an oxidation state of +3. It can change to a lower state, thereby acting as an oxidizing agent and to a higher state therby acting as a reducing agent also.     (1)
  2. XeF6 on complete hydrolysis yields xenon trioxide and hydrogen fluoride. XeF6 + 3 H2O -à XeO3+ 6HF     (1)
OR

Due to small size of fluorine, bond length of F-F bond is less than Cl-Cl bond which leads to high interelectronic repulsions between the lone pairs of electrons. Thus bond dissociation energy is less.     (1)

O because of its small size is capable of forming Pπ - Pπ bond and forms O2 .Since intermolecular forces involved are weak van Der Waals forces, it is a gas.S being large in size is not able to form bond and thus does not form S2 molecule. It rather exist as rings or chain in which atoms are linked by comparatively stronger intermolecular forces as compared to that present in O2 .Hence oxygen is a gas while sulphur is a solid     (1)

XeOF4 is isostructural with IF5. The molecules are square pyramidal.     (1)
 
Q24:
(i) Why do transition metals form complex compounds?
(ii) What is lanthanoid contraction?
(iii)Why does Cr have a high melting point?
View Answer
Answer:
(i) Transition elements form small cations with high charge density. They have vacant d orbitals available for coordination, thus they form complexes.     (1)
(ii) A steady decrease in size of elements of lanthanoid series with increasing atomic number is called lanthanoid contraction. Lanthanoid contraction is due to intervention of 4f orbital which must be filled before 5d series of elements begins.     (1)
Cr contains 6 unpaired electrons thus resulting in strong Cr-Cr bond. Hence high melting point.     (1)
 
Q25:
(i) Distinguish between
