ASSERTION AND REASON TYPE QUESTIONS (1 MARK)

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason
(R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices are given below.
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(C) A is true but R is false.
(D) Both A and R are false.
13. Assertion : Equal moles of different substances contain same number of constituent
particles.
Reason : Equal weights of different substances contain the same number of constituent
particles.
14. Assertion (A) : Generally, ionization enthalpy increases from left to right in a period.
Reason (R) : When successive electrons are added to the orbitals in the same principal
quantum level, the shielding effect of inner core of electrons does not increase very much to
compensate for the increased attraction of the electron to the nucleus.
15. Assertion (A): Among the two O – H bonds in H2O molecule, the energy required to break
the first O – H bond and the other O – H bond is the same.
Reason (R): This is because the electronic environment around the oxygen is the same even
after breakage of one O – H bond.
16. Assertion (A): In the reaction H₂S + HNO3 → NO + S + H₂O , HNO3 acts as an oxidising
agent .
Reason (R): HNO3 gets oxidised to NO.

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.
29. he rotation of carbon-carbon single bond (sigma -bond), due to cylindrical symmetry of s-
Mos (molecular orbitals) long internuclear axis, in alkanes results into different spatial
arrangements of atoms in space, that are interconvertible. These arrangements are called
conformations. However, weak repulsive interaction are present between the adjacent bonds in
alkanes so the rotation of C—C single bond is not completely free and is hindered by a small
energy barriers of 1-20 kJ mol-1. The repulsive interaction between the adjacent bond is due to
electron cloud. The two types of conformations are very common, i.e., staggered and eclipsed.
The conformation in which the hydrogen atoms attached to the two carbon atoms are as far apart
as possible is called the staggered conformation. The conformations in which the hydrogen atoms
attached to the two carbon atoms are as closed as possible is called eclipsed conformation. Any
intermediate conformation between the above two is called skew or gauche conformation.

(i) The electronic distribution of the sigma molecular orbital is symmetrical around the
internuclear axis of C-C bond which permits free rotation around C-C bond. Such spatial
arrangements of atoms in which conversion of one another takes place by rotation around C-C
bond is known as
(A) rotamers (B) conformers (C) conformations (D) All of these
(ii) The possible rotamers of ethane is/are
(A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) ∞
(iii) Draw the Newman’s projections for conformations of ethane. Why do different
conformations of ethane cannot be separated and isolated?

30. Every system is associated with a definite amount of energy, called the internal energy )U or
E) of the system. It is the sum of chemical, electrical, mechanical or any other form of energy
that anyone can may think of. However gravitational energy is generally necklaces neglected. It
is a state function, i. e. independent of the path followed. lt may change when
i) heat flows in or out of the system.
ii) work is done on or by the system.
iii) matter enters or leaves the system
It is an extensive property i.e. depends upon the mass of a substance. It depends only on
temperature. The absolute value of internal energy possessed by a substance cannot be calculated
because it is not possible to predict the exact values of different forms of energy. Thus, we can
just calculate the change in internal energy which is achieved by changing the state of a system.
First law of thermodynamics was proposed by Helmholtz and Robert- mayer who stated that the
energy in of an isolated system is constant. i.e. energy can neither we created nor be destroyed
but can be converted from one form to another. That's why it is also called law of conservation
of energy. When a system undergoes isothermal ΔU = zero i.e. there is no increase or decrease
in the internal energy of the system then the first law of thermodynamics reduce to 0=q + w or
q = -w.
i) neither q not w is a state function but q + w is a state function explain why?
ii) Out of mass and density which is an intensive property and why?

 iii) Explain thermodynamically how is the heat absorbed by system is used in doing work at
constant temperature and pressure.
OR
