(1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31 The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure is equal to atmospheric
pressure. We know that on the addition of a non-volatile liquid to a pure solvent, the vapour pressure of
a solution decrease. Therefore, to make vapour pressure equal to atmospheric pressure we have to
increase the temperature of the solution. The difference in the boiling point of the solution and the
boiling point of the pure solvent is termed as elevation in boiling point.
The freezing point of a substance is defined as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of its liquid
is equal to the vapour of the corresponding solid. According to Raoult’s law when a non-volatile solid is
added to the solvent its vapour pressure decreases and now it would become equal to that of solid
solvent at a lower temperature. The difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and its
solution is called depression in freezing point.

point?

IUPAC Nomenclature of Coordination Compounds
Rules For Naming Coordination Compound

The standard rules that must be followed in the nomenclature of coordination compounds are described
below.
When the coordination centre is bound to more than one ligand, the names of the ligands are written in
an alphabetical order which is not affected by the numerical prefixes that must be applied to the ligands:
di-, tri-, tetra-, and so on. The names of the anions present in a coordination compound must end with
the letter ‘o’, which generally replaces the letter ‘e’.After the ligands are named, the name of the central
metal atom is written. If the complex has an anionic charge associated with it, the suffix ‘-ate’ is
applied. When writing the name of the central metallic atom in an anionic complex, priority is given to
the Latin name of the metal if it exists (with the exception of mercury). The oxidation state of the
central metal atom/ion must be specified with the help of roman numerals that are enclosed in a set of
parentheses. If the coordination compound is accompanied by a counter ion, the cationic entity must be
written before the anionic entity.
Q1Write down the formula of : Tetraamineaquachloridocobalt(III) chloride .
Q2.What is the IUPAC name of the complex [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2?
Q3 When a co-ordination compound CrCl3.6H2O is mixed with AgNO3, 2 moles of AgCl are
precipitated per mole of the compound. Write
(i) Structural formula of the complex.
(ii) IUPAC name of the complex.
OR
Write oxidation no and coordination no of central metal of following compounds
i) K3[Al(C2O4)3]
(ii) [Co(Cl)2(en)2]+

Ideal Solution An ideal solution is a solution where the intermolecular interactions between
solute-solute (A-A) and solvent-solvent (B-B) are similar to the interaction between solute-
solvent (A-B). An ideal solution fulfils the following criteria: • It obeys Raoult’s law for all
the concentration and temperature ranges. Which states that the partial vapour pressure of
each component is proportional to the mole fraction of the component in a solution at a given
temperature. • The enthalpy of mixing is zero, i.e. ΔHmix = 0. It means that no heat is
absorbed or released. • The volume of mixing is zero, ΔVmix = 0. It means that the volume of
the solution is equal to the sum of the volume of components. The ideal solution is possible
with components of the same size and polarity. There is no association, dissociation or
reaction taking place between components. A perfect ideal solution is rare but some solutions
are near to the ideal solution. Examples are Benzene and toluene, hexane and heptane,
bromoethane and chloroethane, chlorobenzene and bromobenzene, etc. Non-ideal Solution
When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law for all the concentration and temperature ranges
it is known as a non-ideal solution. A non-ideal solution may show positive or negative
deviation from Raoult’s law. ΔHmix and ΔVmix for non-ideal solutions are not equal to zero. a)
Non-ideal solution showing positive deviation Here the total vapour pressure is higher than
that calculated from Raoult’s equation. The interaction between solute-solvent (A-B) is
weaker than those of pure components (A-A or B-B). The ΔHmix and ΔVmix are positive. E.g.
ethanol and acetone, carbon disulphide and acetone, acetone and benzene, etc. b) Non-ideal
solution showing negative deviation Here the total vapour pressure is lower than that
calculated from Raoult’s equation. The interaction between solute-solvent (A-B) is stronger
than those of pure components (A-A or B-B). The ΔHmix and ΔVmix are negative. E.g. phenol
and aniline, chloroform and acetone, etc.
(i). Give example of solution showing negative deviation

When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical changes like change in temperature
or chemical changes like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed. Due to this,
globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is called
denaturation of protein. The denaturation causes change in secondary and tertiary structures

egg white on boiling, curding of milk, formation of cheese when an acid is added to
milk.

word ‘proteios’ meaning ‘primary’ or ‘of prime importance’. Chemically, proteins are
the polymers in which the monomeric units are the α-amino acids. Amino acids contain
amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups. Depending upon the relative
position of amino group with respect to carboxyl group, the amino acids can be
classified as α, β, γ, δ Amino acids which are synthesized by the body are called non
essentials imno acid. On the other hand those amino acids which cannot be synthesized
in the human body and are supplied in the form of diet (because they are required for
proper health and growth ) are called essential amino acids.

Q-31- Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The constant k is the reaction rate constant or rate coefficient of the reaction. Its value may
depend on conditions such as temperature, ionic strength, surface area of an adsorbent, or light
irradiation.
The integrated rate equations can be fitted with kinetic data to determine the order of a reaction.
The integrated rate equations for zero, first and second order reactions are:
Zero order: [A] = - kt + [A]0
First order: log [A] = -kt/2.303 + log [A]0

Second order: 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]0
These equations can also be used to calculate the half-life periods of different reactions, which
give the time during which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its initial
concentration, i.e. at time t1/2; [A] = [A]0/2

SECTION D
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Proteins are the polymers of -amino acids and they are connected to each other by peptide
bond or peptide linkage. Chemically, peptide linkage is an amide formed between -COOH
group and -NH2 group. The reaction between two molecules of similar or different amino
acids , proceeds through the combination of the amino group of one molecule with the
carboxyl group of the other. This results in the elimination of a water molecule and
formation of a peptide bond -CO-NH -. The product of the reaction is called a dipeptide
because it is made up of two amino acids. For example, when carboxyl group of glycine
combines with the amino group of alanine we get a dipeptide, glycylalanine. If a third amino
acid combines to a dipeptide, the product is called a tripeptide. A tripeptide contains three
amino strengthening acids linked by two peptide linkages. Similarly, when four, five or six
amino acids are linked, the respective products are known as tetrapeptide, pentapeptide or
hexapeptide, respectively. When the number of such amino acids is more than ten, then the
products are called polypeptides. A polypeptide with more than hundred amino acid
residues, having molecular mass higher than 10,000u is called a protein. However, the
distinction between a polypeptide and a protein is not very sharp. Polypeptides with fewer
amino acids are likely to be called proteins if they ordinarily have a well-defined
conformation of a protein such as insulin which contains 51 amino acids. Proteins can be
classified into two types on the basis of their molecular shape.
Fibrous proteins
Globular proteins

a. Write zwitter ion structure of amino acid.

type.
32. When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration, then it is
called non-ideal solution. The vapour pressure of such a solution is either higher or lower than that
predicted by Raoult’s law. If it is higher, the solution exhibits positive deviation and if it is lower, it
exhibits negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
The osmotic pressure of a solution is the excess pressure that must be applied to a solution to
prevent osmosis, i.e., to stop the passage of solvent molecules through a Semipermeable
7
membrane into the solution. Osmotic pressure is colligative property as it depends on the number
of solute molecules and not on their identity. For dilute solutions, it has been found experimentally
that osmotic pressure is proportional to the molarity, C of the Solution at a given temperature T.
Thus: π = CRT Here π is the osmotic pressure and R is the gas constant .
a) Define ideal solution.

follow.
31. Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do
most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the
body’s tissues and organs.
Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are
attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be
combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines each protein’s unique
3-dimensional structure and its specific function. Amino acids are coded by combinations of
three DNA building blocks (nucleotides), determined by the sequence of genes.

32. Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to
prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane. It is also
defined as the measure of the tendency of a solution to take in a pure solvent by osmosis.
Potential osmotic pressure is the maximum osmotic pressure that could develop in a solution
if it were separated from its pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis occurs when two solutions containing different concentrations of solute are
separated by a selectively permeable membrane. Solvent molecules pass preferentially
through the membrane from the low-concentration solution to the solution with higher solute

31. The four colligative properties of the dilute solutions help in calculating the molecular
mass of the solute which is often called observed molecular mass. It may be same as the
theoretical molecular mass (calculated from the molecular formula) if the solute behaves
normally in solution. In case, it undergoes association or dissociation, the observed molar
mass gives different results. The nature of the solute in solution is expressed in terms of
van’t Hoff factor (i) which may be 1 (if the solute behaves normally), less than 1 (if the
solute associates) and more than 1 (if the solute dissociates). The extent of association or
dissociation is represented by cc which is:
𝑖−1 𝑖−1
𝑎= (𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛) 𝑜𝑟 𝑎 = ( 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)
1 𝑛−1

32. Polysaccharides may be very large molecules. Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin are
examples of polysaccharides. Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up
of amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose). Amylose is soluble in water and
can be hydrolyzed into glucose units breaking glycosidic bonds, by the enzymes a-
amylase and β -amylase. It is straight chain polymer. β -mylopectin is a branched chain
polymer of several D-glucose molecules. 80% of amylopectin is present in starch. Plants
are able to synthesize glucose, and the excess glucose is stored as starch in different plant
parts, including roots and seeds. The starch that is consumed by animals is broken down
into smaller molecules, such as glucose. The cells can then absorb the glucose. Glycogen
is the storage form of glucose in humans and other vertebrates, and is made up of
monomers of glucose. It is structurally quite similar to amylopectin. Glycogen is the
animal equivalent of starch. It is stored in liver and skeletal muscles. Cellulose is one of
the most abundant natural biopolymers. The cell walls of plants are mostly made of
cellulose, which provides structural support to the cell. Wood and paper are mostly
cellulosic in nature. Like amylose, cellulose is a linear polymer of glucose. Cellulose is
made up of glucose monomers that are linked by bonds between particular carbon atoms
in the glucose molecule. Every other glucose monomer in cellulose is flipped over and
packed tightly as extended long chains. This gives cellulose its rigidity and high tensile
strength—which is so important to plant cells. Cellulose passing through our digestive
system is called dietary fiber.
Based on the above passage, answer the following questions:
(i) Glycogen is a kind of polysaccharide and is the storage form of glucose present in
humans and other vertebrates. It is the animal equivalent of starch but can you say where
is it stored in animals?
(ii) What can you infer about the characteristic of amylose from the passage?
(iii) Whenever glucose levels drop in our body, a bipolymer breaks down to release
glucose. Name this bipolymer and it is structurally similar to which polymer?
OR
(iv) Which polymer is important to plant cells? How?

The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has a choice and carries (1) marks
each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in the
liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and depressing its
freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the
added solute particles affect the formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the
decrease in freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This
phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several applications such as
freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution.
Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed by
forming ice crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The
freezing point depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar
concentration of the solution (m), along with vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and
osmotic pressure. These are physical characteristics of solutions that depend only on the identity of the
solvent and the concentration of the solute. The characters are not depending on the solute’s identity.

32. Proteins are the most abundant biomolecules of the living system. The chief sources of proteins are
milk, cheese, pulses, fish, meat, peanuts etc. They are found in every part of the body and form a
fundamental basis of structure and functions of life. These are also required for growth and maintenance
of body. The work protein is derived from Greek word, ‘proteios’ meaning ‘primary’ or of ‘prime
importance’. Chemically, proteins are the polymers in which the monomeric units are the α-amino acids.
Amino acids contain amino (-NH2) and carboxylic (-COOH) functional groups. Depending upon the
relative position of amino group with respect to carboxylic group, the amino acids can be classified as α,
β and γ-amino acids. Amino acids which are synthesised by the body are called non-essential amino acid.
On the other hand, those amino acids which cannot be synthesised in the human body and are supplied in
the form of diet (because they are required for proper health and growth) are called essential amino acids.
Q. 1.Why amino acids show amphoteric behaviour?
Q. 2.What is Peptide linkage ?
Q. 3. What are polypeptides?

SECTION D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and carries 4 (1+1+2)
marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Carbohydrates play a vital role in our daily life. These are classified as monosaccharides,oligosaccharides
and polysaccharides depending upon the number of smaller molecules on hydrolysis. It has been
suggested that monosaccharides do not have a free aldehydic or ketonic group but have cyclic
hemiacetal or hemiketal structures. D-glucose exists in two stereo isomeric forms; α-D-glucose and
β-D-glucose which have different positions of H and OH groups on first carbon atom. Disaccharides such
as sucrose, maltose, lactose etc. give monosaccharides on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides are starch,cellulose,
glycogen havingmolecular formula (C6H10 O5)n.
(i) What is the name of the linkage which holds together monosaccharide units in sucrose?
(ii) Name the water insoluble component of starch.
(iii) a) Why does glucose not give 2, 4-DNP test?
b) When glucose is heated with methyl alcohol in the presence of dry HCl gas, it forms two methyl
glycosides.
Is it true or false?
32. Two solutions having same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are called isotonic solutions. When
such solutions are separated by semipermeable membrane, no osmosis occurs between them. For
example, the osmotic pressure associated with fluid inside the blood cell is equivalent to that of 0.9%
(mass/volume) sodium chloride solution, called normal saline solution and it is safe to inject intravenously.
On the other hand, if we place the cells in a solution containing more than 0.9% sodium chloride, water
will flow out of the cells and they would shrink. Such a solution is called hypertonic. If the salt
concentration is less than 0.9%, the solution is said to be hypotonic. In this case, water will flow into the cells
if placed in this solution and they would swell.

(i) What is meant by isotonic solution?
(ii) Which concentration of sodium chloride solution is suitable for transfusion into blood?
(iii)a) If a solution of 3g of sodium chloride dissolved in 500 ml of water is injected into the body, what will
happen to the blood cells?

carries 4 (1+1+1+1) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that
follow.
31.Organic compounds containing amine as functional group are present in a vivid variety of
compounds, namely amino acids, hormones, neurotransmitters, DNA, alkaloids, dyes, etc. Drugs
including nicotine, morphine, codeine and heroin, etc. which have physiological effects on
humans also contain amino group in one form or another. Amines are basic because of the
presence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Addition of nitrogen into an organic framework
leads to the formation of two families of molecules, namely amines and amides. As chemistry
students, we must appreciate the versatility of nitrogen.

OR
Name the linkage formed when carboxyl end of one amino acid condenses with amino end of

32. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Solutions are homogeneous
mixture of two or more substances. Ideal solution follow Raoult’s law. The vapour pressure of each
component is directly proportional to their mole fraction if both solute and solvent are volatile. The
relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to mole fraction of solute if only solvent is volatile.
Non-ideal solution form azeotropes which cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Henry’s
law is special case of Raoult’s law applicable to gases dissolved in liquids.
Colligative properties depend upon number of particles of solute. Relative lowering of vapour
pressure, elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point and osmotic pressure are
colligative properties which depend upon mole fraction of solute, molality and molarity of
solutions. When
solute undergoes either association or dissociation, molecular mass determined by colligative
property
will be abnormal. van’t Hoff factor is used in such cases which is ratio of normal molecular mass
over observed molar mass.
