e-1 + X NH3 -- [ e - (NH3)x]-1

Q.9. Why do colloidal solutions exhibit Tyndall effect ?
Ans.

Colloidal solutions are heterogeneous in nature. They exhibit Tyndall effect due to scattering of light by the particles of the dispersed phase ( which are colloids).

Q.10.

Write any one characteristic feature of enzymatic catalysts.

Ans.

Enzyme catalysts are highly specific in their action on substrate molecules and each enzyme catalyses only a specific type of reaction.

Q.11.

Account for the following :

(i) Silicone is an insulator but silicon doped with phospphorus acts as a semi - conductor.

(ii) Some of the glass objects recovered from ancient monuments look milky instead of being transparent.

Ans.

(i) In pure silicon all its four valencies are used up in producing diamond like structure. When silicon is doped with phosphorous ( with five electrons in its valence shell). Out of these 5 electron four from bonds and the fifth electron can convey electric current readily. Hence, silicon doped with phosphorus acts as a semi-conductor.

(ii) some of the glass objects from ancient monuments look milky instead of being transparent because of some crystallisation occurring after a long exposure to the atmosphere. They become a bit opaque.

Q.12.

Give one example each of miscible liquid pairs showing positive and negative deviations from Raoult's law. Give one reason each for such deviations.

Ans.

Non - ideal solutions do not obey Raolt's law. In them the solute-solvent intermolecular forces are either weaker or stronger than solvent-solvent intermolecuilar forces. Example solution of cyclohexane in ethanol.

The solution of cyclohexane in ethanol shows positive deviation from Raoult's law. Ethanol molecules are associated through hydrogen bonds. On adding cyclohexane some hydrogen bonds break. The intermolecular forces cyclohexane - ethanol become weaker than ethanol - ethanol

intractions. The boiling point of the solutions is less than the boiling point of ethanol alone. Vapour pressure of this solution is more than the vapour pressure of pure ethanol.

The solution of acetone and chloroform is an example of negative deviation from Raoult law. There are no hydrogen bonds in between chloroform - chloroform or between acetone - acetone molecules but when they form solution hydrogen bonding takes place as shown.

Due to this intermolecular forces acetone - chloroform are stronger than chloroform -chloroform- or acetone - acetone intermoleculr forces. Solution boils at higher temperature than the b.p. of the solvent and vapour pressure of the solution is less than the vapour pressure of pure solvent.

Q.13. Starting with the thermodynamic relationships DE = q - PDV and H = E + PV derive the relationship DH = Qp*
Ans. H = E + PV

For final stage H2 =E2+PV@ AND FOR INITIAL STAGE H1 = E1 +PV,

Substracting H2 - H1 = (E2 + PV2) - (E2 + PV1)

or H2 - H1 = DH = (E2-E1) +P (V2-V1)

or DH = DE = PDV .....(1)

Also DE + PDV = q-PDV

or DE + PDV = qp

From (1) and (2) DH = qp

Q.14. From the data given below at 298 K for the reaction :

CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) --CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l)

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of CH4 (g) at 298 K.

Enthalpy of reaction = -890.5 kJ

Enthalpy of formation of CO2 (g) = -393.5 kJ mol-1

Enthalpy of formation of H2O(1) =-286.0 kJ mol-1

Ans. CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) --CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l) at 298 K.

Ans.
Q.16. Give explanation for the following observations :

(I) An ether would possess a dipole moment even if the alkyl groups present in it are identical.

(ii) Towards nucleophilic reagents aldehydes are more reactive than ketones.

Ans.

(a) In any ether R--O--R the bond angle R--O--r is 1100 due to the presence of two Ione pairs on central oxygen atom.

Therefore, ether R--O--R will have dipole moment even if alkyl groups are identical.

Q.18. Account for the following :

(i) ammonolysis of alkyl halides does not give a coresponding amine in pure state.

(ii) If --No2 or --- COOH group is attached to a carbon of benezene ring, electrophilic substitution becomes difficult.

Ans.

(a) The reaction of ammonia with alkyl halides called ammonia alysis produces a mixture of primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Since this mixture of amines cannot be separated easily. We cannot get pure amines by ammonialysis

(b) If NO2 or --COOH group is attached to the carbon atom of benzene ring, the benzene ring is deactivated by reasonance as follows :

In these structures there is +ve charge in ortho and para positions. Therefore, they are unreactive to the attacking electrophile which is positively charged. Electrophilic substitution becomes difficult.

Q.20. (a) Of the ions Ag+, Co2+, and Ti4+, which ones will be coloured in aqueous solution. (Atomic nos. : Ag = 47, Co = 27, Ti = 22)

(b) If reach one of the above ionic species is in turn placed in a magnetic field, how will it respond and why ?

Ans.

a) AG+ (4d10 5s0) and Ti4+ (3d0 4s0) have no unpaired electrons but CO2+ (3d7 4s0) has three unpaired electrons. Hence only CO2+ will be coloured in acqueous solutions. Others Ag+ and Ti4+ will be colourless.

(b) Out nof Ag+ (4d10 s0) Co2+ (3d74s0) and Ti4+ (3d0s0) only CO2+ has three unpaired electrons. When placed in a magnetic field CO2+ will be attracted because it is paramagnetic. Other ionic species Ag+, Ti4+ have no unpaired electrons. They are diamagnetic. They will be fecbly repelled by the magnetic field.

Q.21. Among ionic species, Sc3+, Ce4+ and Eu2+, which one is a good oxidising agent ? give a suitable reason for your answer. ( Atomic nos. Sc = 21, Ce = 58, Eu = 63).
Ans. Among Se3+ (3d0 4S0) Ce4+ (4f0 5d0 6s0) and Eu2+ (4f0 5d0 6s0) only Ce4+ is a good oxidising agent because C4+ has a strong tendency to revert to the more stable oxidation state of +3 by gaining one electron Ce4+ + e- -- Cl3+. Eu2+ is reducing agent. Eu2+ -- Eu3+ + 1e-1.

Q.22. Explain the following processes with a suitable example in each case :

(i) Chain - growth polymerization

(ii) Step - growth polymerization

Ans.

In chain growth polymerisation an organic perioxide is used as initiator and the monomers are added to the freeradical in chain fashion. The polymer chain is grown by adding small quantities of indicator to produce reactive free radicals and adding monomers at each addition of initiator.

In step growth polymerization the condensation polymer like backelite is produced from phenol and formaldehyde by condensation reaction step by step with or without elimination of smaller molecules. The polymer chain is grown step by step.

Nylon 66 is synthesised by the condensation of hexamethyline diamine and adipicacid. this produces polymamide linkages with elimination of water molecule in each step.

Q.23.

Giving an example of each, differentiate between multimolecular and macromolecular colloids.

Ans.

Multimolecular - the colloidal particles of these colloidal solutions consist of aggregates of atmosor small molecules with diameter less than 1 nm. Example gold sol consists of particles of various sizes having several atoms. The atoms are held together by weak Vander Waal forces.

Macromolecular Colloids - In macromolecular colloids the dispersed particles are themselves large molecules called macromolecules of more than 1 nm diameter. They have high molecular masses (1000 to 106). Naturally occurring macromolecules are starch, cellulose, gum and protein.

Q.24.

What arepolysachharides? Name one of them. How is it important for us ?

Ans.

Polysachharides are formed when large number of monosachharide molecules get condensed with elimination of H2O molecules. Example cellolose and starch. Starch is a food reserve in plants. On hydrolysis starch forms maltose. One further hydrolysis maltose forms glucose. Glucose is a chief source of energy in living systems as its oxidation in the body provides 38 molecules of A.T.P.

Q.25.

What do you understand by the statement : "ATP molecules are the currency of energy metabolism in a cell."

Ans. Structure of A.T.P.

A.T.P. is an energy source in human system. The molecule has four negative oxygen atoms. Due to the repulsion of these oxygen atoms ATP hreases readily and repulsive forces are reduced.

ATP -----------> ADP + P(D G < 0)

ADP -----------> AMP + P(D G < 0)

Hydrolysis of ATP releases a large amount of energy required for the human system.

Q.26.

Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotic. It can be used for the treatment of disentry, typhoid and urinary infections.

Q.27.

The ionization energy of hydrogen atom in ground state is 1312 kJ mol-1. Calculate the wavelength of radiation emitted when the electron in this atom makes a transition from n = 2 state to n = 1 state. [ Planck constant, h = 6.63 X 10-34 Js, velocity of light, c=3X1010 cm S-1 and Avogadro's number, NA = 6.02X1023 mol-1)

Ans. Ionisation energy of hydrogen = 1312 kJ mol-1

Energy of electron in hydrogen (En) = -1312/n2 kJ mol-1

E2 (energy in x = 2) = -1312/ (2)2 = -328 kJ mol-1

E1 (in n = 1) = -1312 / (1)2 = -1312 kJ mol-1

DE = Energy emitted in transition form n = 2 to n =1

= -328 - (-1312) = 984 kJ mol-1

Also E = hc /l or l = hc/E

Wavelength of radiation emitted = (l)

= 6.6 x 10-34 x 3 x108 / 984 x1000 x 6.02 x 1023

l = 6.6 x 10-34 x 3 x 108 x 6.02 x 1023 / 984 x 1000 metre x 1/10-10

= 1207 A0

Ans. Wt. of sulphur (WB) = 3.24 g

Wt. of benzene (WA) = 40 g

DTb = 0.81 K

Kb = 2.53 K kg mol-1

Molecular mass of Sulphur = Kh / DTb x WB/ WA X 1000

= 2.53 / 0.81 x 3.24/40 x 1000

= 253 g mol-1

The no. of atoms of sulphur in its molecule = 253 / 32 = 7.9

= 8 approx.

Molecular formula of Sulphur is S8.

Q.29. Calculate the cell emf and DG for the cell reactionat 250 C for the cell.

E0 values at 250C : Zn2+ / Zn = - 0.763V ; Cd2+/Cd = - 0.403 V ;

F = 96500 C mol-1 ; R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1.

Ans. For the cell Zn(s) | Zn2+ (0.0004 M) || Cd2+ (0.2M) | Cd (s)
The cell reaction is Zn(s) + Cd2+ (aq) --Zn2+ (aq) = Cd(s).

= - 0.36 - 0.0296 log 2 x 10-3

= 0.36 - (0.0296) x [ 0.2010 - 3]

= 0.36 - (0.0296) x (-2.6990)

= 0.44 V

D G = -n FE0 = -2x 96500 x 0.36

= 69.48 kj

answer to be inserted.

Q.30.

In general it is observed that the rate of a chemical reaction doubles with every 100 rise in temperature. If this generalization holds for a reaction in the temperature range 295 K to 305 K, what would be the value of activation energy for this reaction ? ( R = 8.314 K K-1 mol-1).

Ans. T1 = 295 K

T2 = 305 K

K2 / K1 = 2 ( rate of reaction doubles)

By the relation log K2 / K1 = EAC / 2.303 x R x [ 1/T1 - 1/T2]

or, EAC ( activation energy ) = log K2 / K1 x 2.303 x R X T2 x T1 / T2 - T1

= log 2 x 2.303 x 8.314 x 305 x 295 / 10

= 0.3010 x 2.303 x 8.314 x 305 x 295 / 10

= 5139998.255 Joule

Q.32.

(a) What is a nuclear fission reaction ?

(b) Describe the basic principle of a nuclear reactor.

Ans.

(a) In Nuclear fission a heavier nucleous like 235/92 U breaks into a number of fragments by suitable bombardment with slow neutrons. It is a chain reaction because neutrons produced strike more particles of 235/92 U again and again Example : 235/92 u + 1/0 n ----- 139/56 Ba + 93/36 Kr + 3 1/0 n

(b) Principle of nuclear reactor : In a nuclear reactor fission reaction is made to take place under controlled conditions. Energy released is used for the production of electricity. In order to make the speed of neutrons slow a moderator ( graphite or heavy water) is used. Control rods made up of boron, steel or cadmium are used to capture some of the neutrons so that chain reaction does not become violent.

Q.33.

(a) Write chemical equations and reaction conditions for the conversion of :

(i) Propene to 1-bromo-propane.

(ii) Chlorobenzene to phenol.

(iii) 2-proppanol to iodoform.

(b) How is glyeerol obtained commercially. State its two uses.

Ans.

Uses of glycerol : (i) glycerol is used as a sweetening agent in medicines like cough syrup.

(ii) It is used in making cosmetics because glycerol has the property of retaining moisture.

Q.34. (a) Account for the following observations :

(i) In several chemical properties lithium resembles magnesium.

(ii) + 1 oxidation state of thallium ( atomic no. 81) is more stable than its + 3 oxidation state.

(iii) Boron chloride exists as a monomer while in the same group anhydrous aluminium chloride exists as a dimmer.

(b) Complete and balance the following chemical equations :

(i) NH3 -- NaOCI --

(ii) XeF4 + SbF5 --

Ans.

(i) Important functions of nucleic acids are :

(a) REPLICATION : DNA has double strand helical structure. It unwinds itself and each strand synthesises its complimentory template so that two new molecules of DNA closely resem,bling the parent molecule are produced.

(b) PROTEIN SYNTHESIS : involves two steps (a) Transcription in which DNA synthesises m-RNa which have base sequence complimentary to base sequence in DNA.

(c) TRANSLATION : iN WHICH M-RNA provides code corresponding to base triplelt on its nucleotide sequence to t-RNA which carries the specific amino acid to the site of protein synthesis. r-RNA attaches the amino acids in the sequence provided by t-RNA.

(ii) Thailium (6s26P1) has + 1 stable state because of Inert pair effect. Two electrons in 6s-orbital do not take part in bond formation. This pair remains inert. Hence Thallium has + 1 oxidation state more stable than + 3 oxidation state.

(iii) The small size boron atom cannot accommodate four large sized Cl ions and B cl3 exists as monomeric unit. In the case of larger sized Aluminum atom used its vacent P-orbial in its valence shell to complete its octet by forming dimer. Hence, AlCl3 forms dimer in anhydrous state.
