Model Question Paper Ii
Question 1.

Which of the following statements is not true for hexagonal close packing?
A. The coordination number is 12

B. It has 74% packing efficiency

C. Octahedral voids of the second layer are covered by spheres of the third layer.

D. In this arrangement, the third layer is identical to the first layer.


Answer:

Hexagonal close-packing can be arranged by two layers A and B placed one over another which can be represented by the following diagram:



Here, we can say that the second and third layers are not exactly aligned. So statement (iii) is not correct. Only the first and third layers are identical A-A or B-B. So options (i),(ii) and (iv) are correct.


Question 2.

Brine is electrolysed using inert electrodes. The reaction at the anode is _____.
A.

B.

C.

D.


Answer:

Brine is a saturated solution of Sodium chloride in water. It contains a substantial amount of chloride(Cl-) ions compared to hydroxyl (OH-) ions.


Reduction potential value of Chlorine (Cl2 + 2e → 2Cl-) is 1.36V whereas that of Oxygen (O2+ 2H2O + 4e → 4OH-) is 0.40V.So O2 gas should be oxidized at anode instead of Cl2.


But since the amount of Cl- ions are much more than OH- ions, so Cl- ions are preferentially oxidized at the anode to liberate Cl2 gas.


Question 3.

In a qualitative analysis when H2S is passed through the solution of a salt acidified with HCl, a black precipitate is obtained. On boiling the precipitate with dilute HNO3, it forms a solution of blue colour. Addition of an excess of an aqueous solution of ammonia to this solution will give ________.
A. Deep blue precipitate of Cu(OH)2.

B. Deep blue solution of [Cu(NH3)4]2+.

C. Deep blue solution of Cu(NO3)2.

D. Deep blue solution of Cu(OH)2.Cu(NO3)2.


Answer:

In qualitative analysis, when H2S gas is passed through an aqueous solution of salt acidified with HCl, a black ppt of CuS is formed.


CuSO4 + H2S + dil HCl → CuS + H2SO4


(Black ppt)


When ppt of CuS is boiled with dilute HNO3,it forms a blue coloured solution due to the following reactions given below:


3CuS + 8HNO3→ 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO + 3S + 4H2O


S + 2HNO3→ H2SO4 + NO


2Cu2+ + SO42- + 2NH3 + 2H2O → Cu(OH)2 + CuSO4 + 2NH4OH



Question 4.

What is the IUPAC name of the compound ?
A. N, N-Dimethylaminobutane

B. N, N-Dimethylbutan-1-amine

C. N, N-Dimethylbutylamine

D. N-methylpentan-2-amine


Answer:

The given compound is a tertiary amine. There are two methyl groups and one n-butyl group attached to N atom.


Here the parent chain contains four carbon atoms. For two similar groups ‘di' is used.


Question 5.

for some half cell reactions are given below. On the basis of these mark the correct answer.

(a)

(b)

(c)

A. In dilute sulphuric acid solution, hydrogen will be reduced at the cathode.

B. In concentrated sulphuric acid solution, water will be oxidised at anode.

C. In dilute sulphuric acid solution, SO42– ion will be oxidised to tetrathionate ion at anode.

D. In dilute sulphuric acid solution, water will be oxidised at anode.


Answer:

In dilute sulphuric acid solution, hydrogen will be reduced at the cathode



and H2O is oxidized at anode.


2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e-


while in a concentrated solution of sulphuric acid, SO2- ions are oxidized to tetrathionate ions.


Question 6.

What happens when a lyophilic sol is added to a lyophobic sol?
A. Lyophobic sol is protected.

B. Lyophilic sol is protected.

C. Film of lyophilic sol is formed over lyophobic sol.

D. Film of lyophobic sol is formed over lyophilic sol.


Answer:

Lyophobic sols are not stable and are easily precipitated by adding electrolytes. Lyophilic colloids like gums, soaps, gelatin etc are added to prevent coagulation of lyophobic sol. The process is known as ‘protection' and the lyophilic colloids are termed as protective colloids.


Lyophilic colloids cover-up of the particles of the lyophobic colloid by the formation of a protective film or layer.


Thus both the options (i) and (ii) are correct.


Question 7.

How do emulsifying agents stabilise emulsion?


Answer:

Emulsion is obtained when two immiscible or partially miscible liquids are shaken. Emulsions are of two types.

i) Oil dispersed in water(O/W type) and ii) Water dispersed in oil (W/O type).The O/W type on standing separate into two layers. So it is unstable. To stabilize the emulsion, a third component known as an emulsifying agent is added. The emulsifying agent helps to form an interfacial layer between suspended particles and the medium. So a stable emulsion is formed. For O/W and W/O type emulsifying agent used is gum and heavy metal salts respectively.



Question 8.

On what principle is the zone refining based?


Answer:

Zone refining process is very useful to get semi-conductor metals like germanium, Silicon etc. in a highly pure state. This method is based on the principle that impurities present in metals are more soluble in the molten state than in the solid-state of the metal.



Question 9.

Why cross links are required in rubber to have practical applications?


Answer:

Natural rubber is soft and sticky at a higher temperature and brittle at low temperature. Upon cross-linking the rubber becomes hard and tough with greater tensile strength. The vulcanized rubber is highly elastic, having low water absorption tendency and it is resistant to oxidation.



Question 10.

Name an artificial sweetener which has dipeptide linkage between two amino acids.


Answer:

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener which is a non-carbohydrate compound. This is a methyl ester having dipeptide linkage between aminoacids Aspartic acid and Phenylalanine.



Aspartic acid Phenylalaninemethylester Aspartame


-NH2 group of Aspartic acid joins with –COOH group of Phenylalaninemethylester to form dipeptide unit ( -CONH).



Question 11.

Why does electrical conductivity of semiconductors increase with the rise in temperature?


Answer:

In semiconductors, electrons occupy different energy bands namely valence band and conduction band. There is an energy difference between the highest occupied valence band and lowest unoccupied conduction band. This is known as the bandgap which is quite small in semiconductors.


With the increase in temperature, electrons in the valance band get excited and jump to the conduction band, which increases ii's electrical conductivity.



Question 12.

In the ring test of NO3 ion, Fe2+ ion reduces nitrate ion to nitric oxide, which combines with Fe2+ (aq.) ions to form brown complex. Write reactions involved in the formation of a brown ring.


Answer:

Ring test is used to detect the presence of nitrate ions (NO3-) in chemistry qualitative analysis. The required chemical reactions involved for the Ring test' is:

i) NO3- + conc.H2SO4→ HSO4- + HNO3


ii) 2HNO3→ 2NO + H2O + 3O


iii) 6FeSO4 + 3O+ 3H2SO 4→ 3Fe2(SO4)3 + 3H2O


iv) 6FeSO4 + 2HNO3 + 3H2SO4 → 3Fe2(SO4)3 + 2NO +4H2O


v) FeSO4 + NO + 5H2O →


Brown ring is formed at the junction of the layers of the solution and sulphuric acid is obtained, which confirms the presence of nitrate ions in the solution.



Question 13.

Arrange the following complex ions in increasing order of crystal field splitting energy Δ0.

[Cr(Cl)6]3–, [Cr(CN)6]3–, [Cr(NH3)6]3+


Answer:

Crystal field splitting energy Δ0 increases in the order:

[Cr(Cl)6]3– < [Cr(NH3)6]3+ < [Cr(CN)6]3–


Among the ligands Cl, NH3 and CN, Cl is the weakest ligand and CN is the strongest one. Therefore, increasing order of crystal field splitting energy Δ0 is: [Cr(Cl)6]3– < [Cr(NH3)6]3+ < [Cr(CN)6]3–



Question 14.

Explain why allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propylchloride?


Answer:

The structure of allyl chloride and n-propyl chloride are the following:


Hydrolysis(addition of water molecule) involves the formation of a carbocation. Due to the presence of π-bond in allyl carbocation, this molecule can undergo resonance and hence gets stabilised.



But in n-propyl carbocation, no resonance is possible. So allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl chloride.



Question 15.

Write name(s) of starting materials for the following polymer and identify its monomer unit.




Answer:

Melamine and Formaldehyde are the two monomers for the synthesis of the above polymer Melamine.

The polymerisation occurs in the following way.




Question 16.

What is the advantage of using antihistamines instead of antacids in the treatment of hyperacidity.


Answer:

Antacids suppress the symptoms of acidity and not the cause. They work by neutralizing the acid produced in the stomach i.e. they do not control the cause of the production of more acid.

Antihistamines are the drugs that suppress the action of histamine which is the chemical responsible for the stimulation of secretion of acids (example pepsin and HCl) in the stomach.


Thus, antihistamines are used over antacids for better treatment of hyperacidity.



Question 17.

When 1 mol of NaCl is added to 1 litre of water, the boiling point of water increases. On the other hand, addition of 1 mol of methyl alcohol to one litre of water decreases the boiling point of water. Explain why does this happen.


Answer:

The vapour pressure above the liquid is inversely proportional to the boiling point of the liquid i.e. higher the vapour pressure above the liquid, lower is the boiling point of the liquid.

NaCl is a non-volatile substance, it decreases the vapour pressure above water. Thus, increasing the boiling point of the water.


Methyl alcohol is volatile in nature, so it increases the vapour pressure above water when added to it. Thus, it decreases the boiling point of the water.



Question 18.

Value of standard electrode potential for the oxidation of Cl ion is more positive than that of water, even then in the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution, why is Cl oxidised at anode instead of water?


Answer:

The oxidation of water at anode requires over potential in the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride, so Cl- ion is oxidized at the anode. The overpotential condition is due to kinetically slow oxidation of water.

The overpotential of water is greater than the standard potential for the oxidation of Cl- ion.


Thus, chloride ion gets oxidized at the anode in electrolysis of aqueous NaCl.



Question 19.

How copper is extracted from low-grade copper ores?


Answer:

The process of recovery of copper from low-grade ore involves two steps:

1. Leaching i.e. use of acids or suitable reagents that dissolve ore but not the impurities.


2. This leached solution is reacted with scrap iron (cheap in cost) or hydrogen to give copper.




Thus, the end product of the above reactions is copper.



Question 20.

Calculate the volume of 0.1 M NaOH solution required to neutralise the products formed by dissolving 1.1 g of P4O6 in H2O.


Answer:

Reaction of P4O6 in H2O is:


The reaction of Phosphorous acid with water is:



The above two reactions can be written in combined form:



1 mole of is neutralized by 8 moles of NaOH


of P4O6 will be neutralized by moles of NaOH


Molarity of NaOH solution is 0.1 M i.e. 0.1 mole is present in 1 L of water


So, moles of NaOH will be present in =


The volume of 0.1 M NaOH required is 0.4 L or 400 mL.



Question 21.

A complex of the type [M (AA)2 X2]n+ is known to be optically active. What does this indicate about the structure of the complex? Give one example of such complex.


Answer:

The structure must be cis-octahedral in nature.

The trans octahedral form does not show the optical activity, so the structure can be cis octahedral in nature.


The example of such complex is .



Question 22.

Predict the major product formed on adding HCl to isobutylene and write the IUPAC name of the product. Explain the mechanism of the reaction.


Answer:

The major product will be the 2-Chloro-2-Methyl propane

The reaction mechanism involves the electrophilic addition reaction according to the Markovnikov Rules.



The reaction mechanism is



Isobutylene breaks into the primary and secondary carbocation in the presence of H+ ion.


A secondary carbocation is much stable due to the +R effect of methyl group so it is more stable to undergo the electrophilic addition reaction.


Thus, major product is 2-Chloro-2-Methyl propane.



Question 23.

Explain why rate of reaction of Lucas reagent with three classes of alcohols different? Give chemical equations wherever required.


Answer:

The Lucas reagent is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid.


In Tertiary alcohols (3o) the hydroxyl group is easily substituted by the halide group due to greater stability of the carbocation in comparison to primary carbocation and secondary carbocation formed during the reaction.


The greater stability is due to the more inductively donating alkyl groups. The hyperconjugation effect can also be invoked to explain the relative stabilities of primary, secondary, and tertiary carbocations.


Thus, the correct order of the reaction is 3o>2o>1o alcohols in increasing order.



Question 24.

A primary amine, R—NH2 can be reacted with alkyl halide, RX, to get secondary amine, R2NH, but the only disadvantage is that 3° amine and quaternary ammonium salts are also obtained as side products. Can you suggest a method where CH3NH2 forms only 2° amine?


Answer:

Yes, we can convert CH3NH2 to a 20 amine without getting any side products.

This reaction is called condensation reaction or amidation of alcohol.


This reaction involves the reaction between primary alcohol and a primary amine in the presence of a catalyst [RhH(PPh3)4] and yield of secondary amine is greater than 98%.



Amidation of alcohols.



Question 25.

Label the glucose and fructose units in the following disaccharide and identify anomeric carbon atoms in these units. Is the sugar reducing in nature? Explain.




Answer:

The given disaccharide is Sucrose (table sugar). Its molecule is comprised of two monosaccharides i.e. fructose and glucose. The bond between the two monosaccharide units is called glycosidic linkage.


The sucrose has no anomeric hydroxyl groups (free ketone or free aldehydic group) so it is classified as a non-reducing sugar.




Question 26.

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

Assertion : When NaCl is added to water a depression in freezing point is observed.

Reason : The lowering of vapour pressure of a solution causes depression in the freezing point.

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:

NaCl is a non-volatile substance when it is added to the water it decreases the melting point of the water simultaneously decreasing the vapor pressure of the water.


According to Raoult’s law, the partial vapor pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction.


Thus, for water as a solvent in a solution



Where Pw is the partial pressure of water and xW is a mole fraction of water in the solution.


Thus, on adding NaCl the mole fraction of water reduces.


Thus, vapor pressure also reduces.


Thus, both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.


Question 27.

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

Assertion : Bond angle in ethers is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle.

Reason : There is repulsion between the two bulky (—R) groups.

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:

In the ether, the bond angle is greater than the tetrahedral angle due to the fact that internal repulsion by the hydrocarbon part is greater than the external repulsion of the lone pair on oxygen.


Thus, both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.


Question 28.

Explain why does the enthalpy change of a reaction remain unchanged even when a catalyst is used in the reaction.

OR

With the help of an example explain what is meant by pseudo first order reaction.


Answer:

The role of a catalyst is to provide an alternative path by forming an activated complex with lower activation energy without changing the enthalpy of reaction.

In the presence of a catalyst, the Gibbs free energy does not change as the energy difference between reactant and product remains the same.



A reference can be taken from the above graph that final product AB energy and the reactants (A and B) energies are the same in the absence and the presence of catalyst remains the same in the presence or absence of a catalyst.


OR


A pseudo-first-order reaction is a reaction that is truly second order but can be approximated to be first-order under special circumstances.


For Example, Hydrolysis of .01 mole of ethyl acetate in the presence of 10 moles of water, the reaction at first glance appears to be the first-order reaction but since the concentration of water does not change much in comparison to ethyl acetate the order of reaction becomes pseudo-first-order reaction.


For a pseudo-first-order reaction, the reactant with a large amount of concentration is ignored.


As the change in its concentration is negligible with comparison to another component in respect with time.


Hence, the rate only gets dependent upon the reactant in small quantity.



Question 29.

When a chromite ore (A) is fused with sodium carbonate in free excess of air and the product is dissolved in water, a yellow solution of compound (B) is obtained. After treatment of this yellow solution with sulphuric acid, compound (C) can be crystallised from the solution. When compound (C) is treated with KCl solution, orange crystals of compound (D) crystallise out. Identify compounds A to D and also explain the reactions.

OR

The reactions are


1.


2.


3.


Thus, A is chromite of iron which when reacts with the sodium carbonate gives a yellow solution (Na2CrO4), which in the presence of the H+ ion (acid) gives compound C (Na2Cr2O7.2H2O) which on treatment with KCl solution gives orange crystal of K2Cr2O7.


OR

The reaction involved is


1.


2.


3.


Thus, the reaction involves these steps and their yields are respectively given.

Answer:

The compound is Methyl Benzoate(A) which gives the 2,4 DNP test.




These are the compounds A, B, C with the following reactions.


OR


The reaction mechanism involves the following steps:



It is given that B gives negative tollents teat which means it is a Ketone.


The positive iodoform test suggest it has a structure similar to



Thus the compound B is propanone (common name acetone). It on the oxidation give acetic acid (compound C )and formic acid.
