Model Question Paper I
Question 1.

Which of the following substance will have lowest melting point?
A. H2O (ice)

B. Quartz

C. Diamond

D. CO2 (dry ice)


Answer:

Dry ice is basically used as a cooling agent. It is the solid form of carbon dioxide gas. It sublimates at -78.5°C.

Diamond and quartz both are very hard solids and so they have high melting points.


Question 2.

Which of the following reactions is an example of autoreduction?
A.

B.

C.

D.


Answer:

In auto-reduction, no external agent is used as a reducing agent. Here, sulphide ores of less electropositive metals like Hg, Pb, Cu etc. are heated in air so as to convert part of the ore into oxide or sulphate which then reacts with the remaining of sulphide ore in absence of air to give the metal and sulphur dioxide.


Here, Cu itself acts as the reducing agent and also it is being reduced so, this process is termed as auto-reduction.


Question 3.

In the titration of Mohr salt solution with KMnO4 solution, dilute H2SO4 is used to provide acidic medium. The titration gives unsatisfactory result when we use HCl in place of H2SO4. This is because.
A. MnO4 oxidises HCl to Cl2.

B. HCl oxidises MnO4 to Mn2+

C. HCl forms chlorocomplex with Mn2+

D. Fe2+ is reduced to Fe3+ in the presence of HCl


Answer:

As dilute sulfuric acid is ideal for redox titration because it is neither an oxidizing agent and nor a reducing agent. On the other hand, KMnO4 which is the indicator, oxidises HCl to Cl2 as HCl is a mild reducing agent. Due to which, the purpose of the experiment is not served. So, dilute sulphuric acid is used.


Question 4.

The correct IUPAC name for CH2=CHCH2 NHCH3 is ______________.
A. Allylmethylamine

B. N-methylprop-2-en-1-amine

C. 4-amino-pent-1-ene

D. 2-amino-4-pentene


Answer:

The main carbon chain has 3 carbon atoms, so it is ‘prop’, and the carbon adjacent to the N atom would be named as 1. Then there is one double bond in the second carbon position (en) and 1 N-methyl amine in the first carbon position.

Therefore IUPAC name is N-methylprop-2-en-1-amine.


The common name for this compound is allylmethylamine.


2-amino-4-pentene has 5 carbon atoms in the main chain.


Question 5.

Conductivity of an electrolylic solution depends on ___________.
A. nature of electrolyte.

B. concentration of electrolyte.

C. area of cross section of the electrode.

D. distance between the electrodes.


Answer:

Conductivity of an electrolyte depends on :-

(i) Nature of electrolyte- The conductance of an electrolyte depends upon the number of ions present in the solution. Therefore, the greater the number of ions in the solution the greater is the conductance. The number of ions produced by an electrolyte depends upon its nature.


(ii) Concentration of electrolyte- The conductance of an electrolyte varies with the concentration of the electrolyte. In general, conductance increases with decrease in concentration or increase in dilution.


Question 6.

Which of the following are correct statements?
A. Mixing two oppositly charged sols in equal amount neutralises charges and stabalises colloid.

B. Presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles provides stability to the colloidal solution.

C. Any amount of dispersed liquid can be added to emulsion without destabilising it.

D. Brownian movement stabilises sols.


Answer:

A colloid is any substance that is made of particles that are of an extremely small size- larger than atoms but generally have the size of 10-7 cm ranging to 10-3 cm. Repulsive forces between charged particles having the same charge prevent them from colliding when they come across each other. As a result of which, presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles provide stability to them due to repulsion. This erratic random movement of the particles is also termed as Brownian motion.


Question 7.

Why does prolonged dialysis destabilise the colloids?


Answer:

A colloid is any substance that is made of particles that are of an extremely small size- larger than atoms but generally have the size of 10-7 cm ranging to 10-3 cm. Traces of electrolytes stabilizes the colloids. Dialysis is the separation of colloids from dissolved ions or molecules of small dimensions, or crystalloid, in a solution. Thus, on prolonged dialysis, electrolytes are separated thereby destabilizing the colloids.



Question 8.

Although carbon and hydrogen are better reducing agents but they are not used to reduce metallic oxides at high temperatures. Why?


Answer:

Carbon and hydrogen are good reducing agents but they are not used to reduce metallic oxides at high temperatures. This is because, at high temperatures, they can react with the metals itself, thereby forming carbides and hydrides respectively which are not desired.



Question 9.

Which forces impart crystalline nature to a polymer like nylon?


Answer:

The presence of linear structure and strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding most importantly leads to close packing of chains due to which we get the crystalline nature of nylon.




Question 10.

Name an artificial sweetener which is derivative of sucrose.


Answer:

Sucralose is a tri-chloro derivative of sucrose is an artificial sweetener. Its appearance and taste are similar to that of sugar but is 600 times sweeter than sugar.

Question 11.

Explain why does conductivity of germanium crystals increases on doping with gallium.


Answer:

Gallium is a trivalent element while germanium is tetravalent.


On doping germanium with gallium, some of the crystal sites are occupied by gallium atoms. Three electrons of gallium make bonds with germanium while the 4th electron of germanium remains unbounded and thus is free for movement and increases the conductivity of crystal. This place is deficient of electrons and is called electron hole or electron vacancy. The movement of electrons (or electron holes) results in increase in conductivity of germanium.



Question 12.

Explain why NCl3 gets easily hydrolysed but NF3 does not.


Answer:

When we look at the electronic configurations of Nitrogen, Flourine and chlorine, we see that only chlorine has a vacant d orbital.


N : [He] 2s2 2p3


F : [He] 2s2 2p5


Cl : [Ne] 3s2 3p5


Ne : [He] 2s2 2p6


He :1s2


Due, to the presence of the vacant d orbital, Cl can easily accommodate the electrons during the hydrolysis of NCl3 which NF3 cannot do. So, NCl3 gets hydrolysed easily.



Question 13.

Explain why [Fe(H2O)6]3+ has high magnetic moment value of 5.92 BM whereas magnetic moment of [Fe(CN)6]3– has value of only 1.74 BM.


Answer:

In [Fe(H2O)6]3+


Electronic configuration of Fe is: [Ar]3d64s2


[Ar] = 1s22s22p63s23p6


Electronic configuration of Fe+3 = [Ar]3d5



Outer electronic configuration of Fe+3 = 3d5


Oxidation number of Fe is +3



The electrons remain unpaired because H2O is weak field ligand. Total no. of the unpaired electron, n = 5.


We know,


Spin only magnetic moment is given by:


μ = [n(n + 2)]1/2



μ = [5×7]1/2 [As, unpaired electrons are 5]



μ = 5.916BM


Hybridization is sp3d2.


In case of [Fe(CN)6]3-


Electronic configuration of Fe is: [Ar]3d64s2


[Ar] = 1s22s22p63s23p6


Electronic configuration of Fe+3 = [Ar]3d5



Outer electronic configuration of Fe+3 = 3d5


Oxidation number of Fe is +3



Hybridization is d2sp3


Since, CN- is a strong field ligand so it pairs up the electron.


Thus, total no. of unpaired electrons = 1



We know,


Spin only magnetic moment is given by:



μ = [n(n + 2)]1/2



μ = [1×3]1/2 [As, unpaired electrons are 1]



μ = 1.732BM



Therefore, we can see that spin only magnetic moment of [Fe(H2O)6]3+ is more than [Fe(CN)6]3- .


so, [Fe(H2O)6]3+ is strongly paramagnetic whereas [Fe(CN)6]3 weakly paramagnetic.





Question 14.

Why can arylhalide not be prepared by reaction of phenol with HCl in the presence of ZnCl2?


Answer:

Due to resonance in phenol (C6H5OH), the C-O bond in phenols acquire a partial double bond character. Therefore the C-O bond in phenols is stronger than the C-O single bond in aliphatic alcohols (R-OH, where R is an alkyl group). Consequently it becomes difficult to break the C-O bond in phenols. So, arylhalides can not be prepared by reaction of phenol with HCl in the presence of ZnCl2.



Resonance in phenol



Question 15.

Write the name of starting materials used for the synthesis of following polymer and identify its monomer unit.




Answer:

Novolac is prepared from phenol (C6H5OH) and formaldehyde (HCHO). It is thus known as phenol-formaldehyde resin commonly as Bakelite. Novolac on heating with formaldehyde (HCHO) undergoes cross linking to form an infusible mass called bakelite.




Question 16.

How do antidepressant drugs counteract feeling of depression?


Answer:

Antidepressant drugs counteract the feeling of depression by balancing the chemicals known as neurotransmitters and triggering the hormones responsible for mood swings. Due to less release of the chemicals in brain depression is caused so these antidepressants act in these chemicals and increase their activity.


For example: Meprobromate, Equanil etc.





Question 17.

Components of a binary mixture of two liquids A and B were being separated by distillation. After some time separation of components stopped and composition of vapour phase became same as that of liquid phase. Both the components started coming in the distillate. Explain why this happened.


Answer:

Both the components start coming to distillate as they would have formed an azeotropic mixture. Azeotropes are the binary mixtures having the same composition in liquid and vapor phase and boil at constant temperature. So it is not possible to separate them by distillation.




Question 18.

Identify the cathode and anode in the cell written below.

Cu | Cu2+ || Cl | Cl2 , Pt

Write the reduction half reaction and oxidation half reaction of the cell.


Answer:

The cathode and anode are separated by a salt bridge. Anode is represented by the first half and cathode by the second one.


ANODE: Cu to Cu2+


CATHODE: Cl- to Cl2


REDUCTION HALF REACTION: Cl- + 2e-→ Cl2


OXIDATION HALF REACTION: Cu → Cu2+ + 2e-




Question 19.

With the help of an example explain how one can separate two sulphide ores by Froth Floatation method.


Answer:

To separate two sulphide ores for example there is an ore containing zinc sulphide and lead sulphide so when we add depressant that is NaCN or KCN then this selectively allows lead sulphide to come with the froth and prevents zinc sulphide to come with the froth.




Question 20.

White phosphorus reacts with chlorine and the product gets hydrolysed in the presence of water to produce HCl. Calculate the mass of HCl obtained by the hydrolysis of the product formed by the reactions of 62 g of white phosphorus with chlorine in the presence of water.


Answer:

P4 + 6Cl2 → 4PCl3


PCl3 + 3H2O → H3PO3 + 3HCl} x 4


Overall reaction will be,


P4 + 6Cl2 + 12H2O → 4 H3PO3 + 12HCl


1 mole of white phosphorus produces 12 moles of HCl…………..a)


1 mole of HCl weighs 36.5g,


so weight of 12moles will be, 12 x 36.5=438g……………………………i)


1 mole of white phosphorus weighs 124 g………………….ii)


Equation a) implies that 124g of phosphorus is used to produce 438g of HCl


So 1g of phosphorus would give= 438/124 g of HCl


62 g would give= (438/124) x 62 = 219 g of HCl




Question 21.

A coordination compound CrCl3 .4H2O precipitates AgCl when treated with AgNO3. The molar conductance of the solution of coordination compound corresponds to a total of two ions. Write structural formula of the compound and name it.


Answer:

As two ions are produced in a solution and 1 mole AgCl is precipitated out so Cl would be present outside the bracket of the coordination compound and is the counter anion.


The structural formula of the compound is [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl .


While naming the compound since the counter anion Cl carries a negative charge, therefore the charge on the complex will be one. As there are 2 chloride ions both having a total of -2 charge, water is neutral so zero and 1 charge being on the ligand so the oxidation number of chromium would be,


X+0-2=1


X=3 is the oxidation number.


Name of the compound is tetraaquadichromium(III)Chloride.




Question 22.

Which of the following compounds would undergo SN1 reaction faster and why?




Answer:

(B)-Benzyl chloride would undergo faster SN1 than (A)-Chloromethyl cyclohexane as the carbocation formed from benzyl chloride is resonance stabilized. In the case of chloromethyl cyclohexane the carbocation formed is primary. Primary carbocations are not favored by SN1 reactions as a result it will not undergo SN1 reaction as fast as the benzyl chloride.




Question 23.

Ethers can be prepared by Williamson synthesis in which an alkyl halide is reacted with sodium alkoxide. Explain why di-tert-butyl ether can’t be prepared by this method.


Answer:

Di tertiary butyl ether cannot be prepared by this method because when we take tertiary butyl halide then elimination competes over substitution. Due to this only an alkene is formed and no ether is obtained.


(CH)3CO-Na+ + (CH3)3CCl → (CH3)2C=CH2


No ether is formed as a product.



Question 24.

Suggest a route by which the following conversion can be accomplished.




Answer:

i)Using Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction we will get amine.



ii)By alkylation of the amine



Mechanism:


The nitrogen of amine acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbon of alkyl halide as it is an electrophile. It displaces the halogen and forms a bond with carbon. Amines react through SN2 mechanism.


CH3 –Br → CH3+ + Br


ATTACKING OF NITROGEN OF AMINE




Question 25.

Three structures are given below in which two glucose units are linked. Which of these linkages between glucose units are between C1 and C4 and which linkages are between C1 and C6.Is the compound (I) reducing in nature? Explain.




Answer:

I and III have the C1 and C4 linkage between them whereas the II compound has a C1 and C6 linkage between them.


Yes compound I is a reducing sugar as C1 of glucose in solution is free and shows reducing properties.


Compound I is lactose.




Question 26.

Note : A statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct option out of the options given below each equation.

Assertion : Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with temperature.

Reason : The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature.

A. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

C. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

D. Assertion and reason both are incorrect statements.

E. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.


Answer:

Molarity is given by,

M= no. of moles/ volume of the solution.


As volume is directly proportional to temperature and inversely proportional to molarity, therefore molarity and temperature are inversely proportional.


The molarity of a solution can be changed by changing the volume. So this makes assertion and reason both correct and reason is the correct explanation.



Question 27.

Note : A statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct option out of the options given below each equation.

Assertion : p-nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol.

Reason : Nitro group helps in the stabilisation of the phenoxide ion by dispersal of negative charge due to resonance.

A. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

C. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

D. Assertion and reason both are incorrect statements.

E. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.


Answer:

Nitro group is an electron withdrawing group and its presence on the ortho and para position of the ring results in the decrease of the electron density of the OH bond due to which the H+ ion can be released easily. The nitro group stabilizes the phenoxide ion by dispersal of negative charge due to resonance. But in case of phenol no such group is present so p-nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol.


Question 28.

How are most probable kinetic energy and the energy of activation affected with increase in temperature.

OR

Explain the difference between instantaneous rate of a reaction and average rate of a reaction.


Answer:

The most probable Kinetic energy and energy of activation affected with increase in temperature as according to Maxwell Boltzmann energy distribution curve when temperature T becomes T+10 degree Celsius then the effective collision and energy of molecules increases resulting in the formation of product.



OR


Difference between instantaneous rate of a reaction and average rate of a reaction.

Question 30.

An alkene ‘A’ (Molecular formula C5H10) on ozonolysis gives a mixture of two compounds ‘B’ and ‘C’. Compound ‘B’ gives positive Fehling’s test and also forms iodoform on treatment with iodine and NaOH solution. Compound ‘C’, does not give Fehling’s test but forms iodoform. Identify the compounds ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ giving suitable explanation and write the reactions of ozonolysis and iodoform formation from either ‘B’ or ‘C’. (5)

OR

Explain the reactivity of a-hydrogen atoms in ethanal. Write the reaction when (a) a mixture of ethanal and benzaldehyde is treated with NaOH (aq) and (b) when only benzaldehyde is treated with conc. KOH solution. Write the names of reaction in both the cases.


Answer:

Molecular formula is C5H10 and compound B gives positive iodoform that means a –COCH3 group is present and it is an aldehyde as it gives positive Fehling’s Test. Therefore, the compound B is CH3CHO. So after ozonolysis the two compounds that are formed are



(2-Methylbut-2-ene) (ethanal) (propanone)


A- 2-Methylbut-2-ene


B- Ethanol


C- Propanone




OR
