Q.No 19 i) on the basis of valence bond theory [CoF6]3- has sp3d2 hybridization and
octahedral geometry and paramagnetic.
Q No 20. (a) Cyanide ion is an ambident nucleophile.KCN are predominantly ionic. So
attack occurs through carbon atom, hence Cyanide is formed. Whereas AgCN is
Covalent. So, bond between Ag &CN does not breakand attack occurs through
Nitrogen ( 1)
(b)Grignard reagents are very reactive. They react with moisture present in the
apparatus or the starting material.
R---MgX + H---OH------- R---H + Mg(OH)X
Therefore Grignard reagents must be prepared under anhydrous conditions. (1)
Q No. 21. Correct Mechanism (2)
Q No 22.(a) The reason of formation of larger amount of unexpected m-nitroaniline is
That under strongly acidic conditions of nitration, most of the Aniline is converted
into anilinium ion which is am-directing group therefore an unexpected m-
nitroaniline is obtained. (1)
(b)Aniline is a lewis base while AlCl3 is a lewis acid. They combine with each other
toform salt. Due to the presence of a positive charge on N-atom in the salt, the group
–N+H2AlCl3- acts as a strong electron withdrawing group. As a result, it reduces the
electron density in the benzene ring and hence aniline does not undergoes Friedel –
Crafts reactions. (1)
Q No 23. i) correct isomers
ii) due to presence of unpaired electrons (1+1)
Q No 24. Raoult's law states that for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour
pressure of each component in the solution is directly proprtional to its mole
fraction in its solution. PA = P0A× XA
P B = P 0B × X B
Henry’s law:The partial pressure of the volatile component or gas is directly
proportional to its mole fraction in solution. P = KH × X
Only the proportionality constant KH differs from P0A . Thus, Raoult’s law becomes a
special case of Henry’s law in which KH becomes equal to P0A.

Q No 25. OHC-----(CHOH)4----CH2OH + HI(excess) ----------CH3(CH2)4CH3 (1)

n-Hexane
(ii) OHC-(CHOH)4-CH2OH + HCN--------CH(CN)OH-(CHOH)4-CH2OH (1)

Q.No.26. (a) The basicity of amines depends on the +I effects of the alkyl group. The
presence of –CH3 group in alkylamine increases the electron density on the nitrogen
atom and thus increases the basicity. Hence, alkylamine is more basic than ammonia
CH3NH2 > NH3 (1)

Q No 27. (i) Amylose is a long unbranched chain polymer of a-D(+) glucose.
Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of a-D glucose. Other difference.
(ii) Carbohydrates which reduce Tollen's reagent or Fehling solution are called
reducing sugars. This is due to the presence of free aldehydic group.
(iii) vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or
fat.
1. Water soluble vitamins: - These include vitamin B-complex and vitamin C.
2. Fat soluble vitamins: - These include vitamins A,D,E and K. They are stored in liver
and adipose. Vitamin K is responsible for coagulation of blood. (1+1+1)

Q No 28. i) Given WB = 1.00g; WA = 50g; Kf = 5.12 K kg mol-1 ; Tf = 0.40K

Tf = Kf × WB × 1000 / MB × WA (in grams)
MB = Kf × WB × 1000 / WA × Tf
MB = 5.12 × 1 × 1000 / 0.40 × 50
MB = 256g mol-1

(ii) NaCl being an electrolyte, dissociate almost completely to give Na+ and Cl- ions in
solutions where as glucose being non-electrolyte, not does dissociate. Therefore, the
number of particles in 0.1 M NaCl solution is nearly double( i= 2) than that in 0.1 M
glucose solution. Freezing point depression, is a colligative property, therefore
freezing point depression of 0.1M sodium chloride solution nearly twice that of 0.1 M
glucose solution. (2+1)
Q.No.29 (i) Luca’s test or victor meyer’s test or iodoform test (1)
(ii) Neutral FeCl3 test or Bromine water testor any other test. (1)
(iii)Luca’s test or Neutral FeCl3 test or any other test. (1)

Q.No 30  Molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is tire conductance
of the volume ‘V’ of a solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two
electrodes with area of cross section ‘A’ and distance of unit length. It is represented
by Λm (lamda).
Effect of change of concentrations on molar conductivity. In case of strong
electrolytes there is a small increase in conductance with dilution because a strong
electrolyte is completely dissociated in solution and the number of ions remains
constant. Moreover there will be greater inter-ionic attractions at higher
concentrations which retards the motion of ions and conductance decreases. In case
of weak electrolytes there is increase in conductance with decrease in concentration
due to the increase in the number of ions in the solution.
The graph between Λm and concentration also rectifies the above statement.

Fuel cells : These cells are the devices which convert the energy produced during
combustion of fuels like H2, CH4, etc. directly into electrical energy.

Q.No. 31 i) For the formation of low spin complex, electrons present in 3d electrons
of Ni2+ should pair up. This will produce only one empty d orbital.
Hence, d2sp3 hybridisation in nickel is not possible to form low spin octahedral complex. 
ii) CO is a stronger complexing ligand than NH3 because it contains both σ and π
character and can form a back bond (M → CO) also. Therefore, CO forms a stronger
bond with the metal. It is also called a strong field ligand.
iii) explanation of correct magnetic property. (1+1+2)
Q.No.32 i) (i) H2 and O2 do not react at room temperature because they do not have
enough activation energy to overcome the exceptionally high activation energy
barrier.
ii) Any one difference

(a) (i) Transition metals and their compound show paramagnetic behavior
due to presence of unpaired electrons in them. (1)
(ii)Transition metals exhibits high enthalpies of atomization because they
have large number of unpaired electrons in their atoms. Due to this, they have
stronger interatomic interactions. (1)
