1. What is the molarity of a solution containing 5g of NaOH in 450ml solution? 1

Ans:-

2. How much H2 in grams will be liberated if 1F electricity is passed through acidified water? 1

Ans:- When 1 Faraday (F) of electricity is passed through acidified water, the electrolysis reaction produces hydrogen gas (H2). According to Faraday's laws of electrolysis, 1 Faraday liberates about 1 mole of H2. The molecular weight of H2 is about 2 g/mol.

Therefore, the mass of hydrogen liberated is:

Mass = mol × molar mass = 1 mole × 2g Mol = 2g

Hence, 2 g of H2 will be liberated.

3. Identify the reaction order from the following rate constants: 1

k= 2.3 × 10–5 l mol-1 s-1

Ans:-Reaction order from rate constant:-

The rate constant k=2.3×10 −5 lmol −1 s −1 indicates that the reaction is second order. This is because the units for a second order reaction are lmol −1 s −1, which matches the given rate constant.

4. Which of the 3d transition metals exhibits the largest number of oxidation states? 1

Ans:- Transition metals with the highest oxidation states:-

Among the 3d transition metals, manganese (Mn) exhibits the highest number of oxidation states, ranging from -3 to +7. This versatility arises from its electronic configuration and its ability to lose varying numbers of electrons.

5. Write the chemical formula for the following coordination compounds: 1

Mercury (I) tetrathiocyanato-s-cobaltate (III)

Ans:-

6. In the following pairs of halogen compounds, which would undergo SN2 reaction faster? 1

Ans:- (i) It is a primary halide and hence the SN2 reaction is faster.

(ii) Since iodine is a better leaving group due to its larger size, it will be released at a faster rate in the presence of an incoming nucleophile.

7. Write the products that are formed by heating of the following ether with HI: 1

Ans:-

8. What is the basic structural difference between starch and cellulose? 1

Ans:- Structural Difference Between Starch and Cellulose:-

Linkage Type: The primary structural difference between starch and cellulose lies in the type of glycosidic linkages between their glucose units. Starch contains α-D-glycosidic linkages, resulting in a branched structure (in the case of amylopectin) and a helical structure (in amylose). In contrast, cellulose is composed of β-D-glycosidic linkages, which form long, linear chains that allow for strong hydrogen bonding between adjacent chains, which contributes to its stiffness and strength.

9. Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines. Why? 2

Ans:- Stability of Diazonium Salts:-

Stability Comparison: Diazonium salts derived from aromatic amines are more stable than diazonium salts derived from aliphatic amines due to resonance stabilization provided by the aromatic ring. In aromatic diazonium salts, the positive charge on the π-electron system of the aromatic ring can be displaced. This delocalization stabilizes the diazonium ion. In contrast, aliphatic diazonium salts lack such resonance stabilization, making them more reactive and less stable.

Or

Why do primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines? 2

Ans:- Boiling Point of Amines:-

Boiling Point Difference: Primary amines generally have higher boiling points than tertiary amines, because of their ability to form stronger hydrogen bonds. Primary amines have two hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen, allowing for more extensive hydrogen bonding with other molecules than tertiary amines, which have no hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen. This increased hydrogen bonding in primary amines leads to a higher boiling point than tertiary amines.

10. Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction: 2

Cu (s) + 2Ag+ (aq) → Cu2+ (aq) + 2Ag(s)

Ans:-


Or

Write the Nernst equation and emf of the following cells at 298K: 2

(i) Mg(s)|Mg2+ (0.001M) || Cu2+ (0.0001M) Cu(s)

(ii) Sn(s)|Sn2+ (0.050M) || H+ (0.020M)|H2 (g) (1bar)|Pt (s)

Ans:-


11. Define conductivity and molar conductivity for the solution of an electrolyte. Discuss their variation with concentration. 2

Ans:- Definition of Conductivity and Molar Conductivity:-

Conductivity (κ): It is a measure of the ability of a solution to conduct electric current, which depends on the concentration of free ions in the solution. It is defined as the ratio of current density to the strength of the electric field. Conductivity is usually expressed in units of siemens per meter (S/m).

Molar Conductivity (Λm): It refers to the conductivity of an electrolyte solution per mole of solute. It is defined as the conductivity multiplied by the volume of the solution divided by the number of moles of solute. Molar conductivity is expressed in units of siemens meter squared per mole (S m²/mol).

Variation with Concentration:-

The behaviour of conductivity and molar conductivity with respect to concentration may be summarized as follows:-

(i) Conductivity:-

(a) Initially increases with increase in electrolyte concentration due to greater number of free ions available for conduction.

(b) At high concentrations, conductivity may reach a maximum value and then stabilize or increase at a slower rate. This occurs because ions begin to form ion pairs, which reduces the number of effective charge carriers and reduces mobility due to increased interactions between ions.

(ii) Molar Conductivity:-

(a) Molar conductivity generally decreases with increasing concentration after a certain point. This is because, although more ions are present, their mobility is reduced due to increased ionic interactions and the possible formation of ion pairs, which hinders their ability to contribute effectively to conduction.

In short, while both conductivity and molar conductivity initially increase with concentration, their behavior diverges at higher concentrations due to physical interactions between ions in solution.
