correct
(ii) It does not form hydrogen sulphite addition product points 1

correct point.
SECTIONC

22
(a) At anode:
2Cl−→Cl2+2e− 1/2
At cathode :
1/2
2H++2e−→H2
Overpotential is the difference between the equilibrium potential and the operating
potential of an electrode when a current is flowing. It's the extra energy needed to force
an electrode reaction to proceed at a required rate. 1

(b) ٨0 m[Al2(SO4)3]=2λ0Al3++3λ0SO42-
1
23 (a) because oxygen and fluorine are highly electronegative and small in size. 1
(b) Cr3+/Cr2+ has negative value of standard electrode potential (−0.41 V) and Mn3+/Mn2+ have 1
positive value (+1.57 V). Cr2+ can undergo oxidation and acts as reducing agent. Mn3+ can
undergo reduction and is oxidizing agent.
(c) Co (III) being more stable than Co(II), the change in the oxidation state of cobalt from +2 to 1
+3 is easy in presence of complexing agent.

24
(a)CH3COOH RedPhosphorus /Br 2CH2BrCOOH
→
1
(b) Due to the formation of intermolecular H-bonding in carboxylic acid, a strong
association occurs 1
(c )There will be no steric hindrance in case of cyclohexanone, allowing the nucleophile
CN– to attack with ease. However, methyl groups at α-positions provide steric hindrances
in the case of 2, 2, 6 -trimethylcyclohexanone, preventing CN– from attacking effectively. 1
OR
a) Compound‘X’=CH3CHO, Ethanal
b) CH3CHO + I2 + NaOH HCOONa + H2O + CHI3 ½+1/2
c) Tollen's reagent test 1
When heated with Tollen's reagent, compound X produces a silver mirror, while 1
propanone does not. This is because Tollen's reagent oxidizes acetaldehyde to acetic acid,
reducing silver ions to silver metal. Or Fehling’s test.

(a) Nonessential amino acid.An essential amino acid is an amino acid that cannot be
25
synthesized from scratch by the organism fast enough to supply its demand, and must
1+1
therefore come from the diet.

(b) No, Sucrose is non reducing sugar.

½ +1/2

26 I – It is because HCOO- is more stable than CH3COO- since CH3 group is Electron releasing 1

II – It is because carbanion formed is stabilized by resonance 1

III – Carboxylate ion are more stable than phenoxide ion
1

27 (a) because the carbon atom in the C-Cl bond in chlorobenzene is sp2 hybridized,
while the carbon atom in cyclohexyl chloride is sp3 hybridized. The sp2
hybridization has more s character and is more electronegative than sp3, 1
making chlorobenzene less polar than cyclohexyl chloride.
(b) The new force of attraction between the alkyl halides and water molecules is
weaker than the alkyl halide-alkyl halide and water-water forces of attraction. 1
(c) 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane<2-Bromopentane<1-Bromopentane 1

a. Order = ½ +3/2 = 2 11
b. With increase in temperature, the rate of reaction increases. 1
OR
The concentration of reactants decreases with time; therefore, rate of reaction 1 1
decreases with time.

30 (i) (a) Aniline gives azo dye test whereas ethylamine does not. 1
(b) Diethyl amine reacts with hinsberg reagent and product obtained is not 1
soluble in alkali solution. Triethyl amine does not react with hinsberg
reagent.
(ii) In aromatic amines, the −NH2 group is attached to a −C6H5 group, which is an
electron withdrawing group. So, the availability of a lone pair of electrons on N 1
is decreased. Therefore aliphatic amines are more basic than aromatic amines.
(iii) (d) Dimethyl ammine. 1
OR

Phenol 1

(i) d2sp3, Octahedral 1
(ii) paramagnetic 1
(iii) two geometrical isomers 1
(iv) yes there will be an optical isomer also due to presence of 1
polydentate ligand

OR
1
(a) It is Because p-nitro phenoxide ion is more stable
than p-methyl phenoxide ion since, - NO2 is
electron withdrawing, CH3 group is electron
releasing.
(b) It is because 30 halides undergo elimination
reaction with O- CH3 and not nucleophilic 1
substitution.
1
(c) It is because phenoxide ion is more stable than
RO- due to resonance 1
(d) It is due to decrease in surface area, decrease in
vander waals’ force of attraction hance boiling
point decreases.
(e) It is due to lone pair- lone pair repulson on oxygen 1

33 a. A 1 M aqueous solution of NaCl will have a lower freezing point than a 1 M aqueous 1+1
. solution of glucose because NaCl dissociates into ions in solution, while glucose does
not.

a. For a solute undergoing dissociation, the following equation may be used
