SECTION – A
1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
The salts of alkali metals are ionic and soluble in water. The solubility of an ionic compound depends on
two factors :(i) Lattice energy and (ii) Hydration energy. These two factors oppose each other. If hydration energy is high, the ions will have greater tendency to be hydrated and therefore the solubility with be high. The smaller the cation, the greater is the degree of its hydration. Hydration of ions is an exothermic process. Higher is the energy released if greater is the degree of hydration. Reducing power of alkali metals in solutions is also dependent on the hydration energy beside other factors.
(i) The radius of which ion (hydrated) is lowest?
(a) [Li(aq)]+

The following questions, Q. No. 9-12 are short answer type and carry 2 marks each.
9. (a) Diamond is very hard while graphite is soft. Why?
(b) CO2 is a gas while SiO2 is a solid. Why?
Answer : (a) Diamond has giant three dimensional polymeric structure in which each carbon is sp3 hybridized and linked to four carbon atoms. This structure makes diamond hardest. On account of small radii of carbon atoms, the various atoms are closely packed in the crystal lattice. Graphite possesses layer structure in which each carbon atom is sp2 hybridized. There is wide separation between various layers. One layer can slide easily on the other. This makes graphite soft in nature.
(b) In carbon dioxide discrete molecules are present. In each molecule carbon is linked with two oxygen atoms by double bonds (OCO), while silica possesses a giant three dimensional structure in which each silicon is linked with four oxygen atoms tetrahedrally and each oxygen is linked with two silicon atoms.
This structure is extremely stable and considerable energy is required to break SiO bond. Thus, CO2 is a gas and silica is a solid.
OR
(a) Why aluminium chloride forms a dimer?
(b) Lead pollution is caused by car exhaust. Explain.
Answer : (a) Aluminium atom in aluminium chloride contains 6 electrons in its outermost orbit. So it requires 2 more electrons for completion of its octet. This is fulfilled by dimerisation when chlorine atoms donate lone pairs to aluminium atoms as shown below:
(b) The petrol contains antiknock agent, tetra ethyl lead [(C2H5)4Pb] which burns with petrol containing a little C2H5Br which forms volatile PbBr2 and this PbBr2 comes out with car exhaust.

13. An aqueous solution of a gas (X) shows the following reactions:
(a) It turns red litmus blue
(b) When added in excess to copper sulphate solution, a deep blue colour is obtained.
(c) On addition of FeCl3 solution a brown precipitate, soluble in dilute HNO3 is obtained. Identify (X) and give reactions.
Answer : The aqueous solution of gas is basic hence, it should be ammonia (NH3).
Aqueous ammonia in excess forms a deep blue, soluble complex with copper sulphate solution.
With FeCl3 solution, aqueous ammonia gives a brownish precipitate of Fe(OH)3 which dissolves in dilute HNO3.

15. (a) Write IUPAC names of the products obtained by the ozonolysis of the following compounds:
(i) 3,4-dimethylhept-3-ene
(ii) 2-ethylbut-1-ene
(iii) 1-phenylbut-1-ene
(b) An alkene A on ozonolysis gives a mixture of ethanal and pentan-3-one. Write structure and IUPAC name of A.
Answer :
OR
(a) Explain the following:
(i) Benzene is highly unsaturated but undergoes substitution reactions easily rather than addition.
(ii) All m-directors are deactivating.
(iii) Halogens, as exceptions, are o- and p-directors but are deactivating.
(iv) Most o- and p-directors are activating.
(b) Draw Newman and Sawhorse projections of ethane molecule (eclipsed form).
Answer : (a) (i) Benzene molecule is stabilised by resonance (delocalisation of p-electrons) and as substitution does not disturb this stabilisation, it occurs easily. Addition reactions, on the other hand disturb the resonance stabilisation or aromatic character, thus they are resisted.
(ii) The meta directing substituents withdraw electrons from the benzene ring and thus, deactivate it for further substitution.
(iii) If a halogen substituent is present, two opposing effects operate simultaneously. Halogen atom releases electrons due to resonance but withdraws electrons due to its high electronegativity (–I effect). The –I effect is greater than resonance effect, therefore the benzene ring is deactivated.
(iv) The o- and p-directing substituents release electrons to the benzene ring thereby activating it for further substitution.
(b) Conformations of ethane using sawhorse projection:
16. (a) When 2 g of a gas A is introduced into an evacuated flask kept at 25°C, the pressure is found to be 1 atm. If 3 g of another gas B is then added to the same flask, the total pressure becomes 1.5 atm. Assuming ideal gas behavior, calculate the ratio of molar masses MA and MB.
(b) A spherical balloon of 21 cm diameter is to be filled up with hydrogen at STP from a cylinder containing the gas at 20 atm at 27°C. If the cylinder can hold 2.82 lit. of water. Calculate the number of balloons that can be filled up.
Answer :
When the balloons are being filled, the pressure in the cylinder will decrease. We can continue filling the cylinder till the pressure within the cylinder is also 1 atm. At this stage the volume of 2820 cm3 of the gas will remain within the cylinder.
