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. According to Arrehenius concept , acids give H+ ions while bases produce OH˗ ions in their aqueous
solutions. Bronsted-Lowry defined an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor. When a
Bronsted – Lowry acid reacts with a base, it produces its conjugate base and a conjugate acid
corresponding to the base with which it reacts. Thus, a conjugate pair of acid - base differs only by a
proton. The strength of acids and bases can be measured in terms of their dissociation constants Ka (or
pKa) and Kb (or pKb). Larger value of Ka or lower value of pKa corresponds to greater strength of acids.
Similarly, larger value of Kb or lower value of pKb corresponds to stronger base. P H finds vital role in
cosmetic formulations and buffer solution is used in blood bank.

32.In an organic reaction a covalent bond between two carbon atoms or a carbon and some other atom is
broken and a new bond is formed. A sequential account of each step, describing details of electron
movement, energetics during bond cleavage and bond formation, and the rates of transformation of
reactants into products kinetics) is referred to as reaction mechanism. A species having a carbon atom
possessing sextext of electrons and a positive charge is called a carbocation (earlier called carbonium ion).
The CH3+ion is known as a methyl cation or methyl carbonium ion. carbocations are classified as primary,
secondary or tertiary depending on whether one, two or three carbons are directly attached to the positively
charged carbon. Some other examples of carbocations are: CH3CH2+(ethyl cation, a primary carbocation),
(CH3)2CH+ (isopropyl cation, a secondary carbocation), and (CH3)3C+ (tert–butyl cation, a tertiary
carbocation).Carbocations are highly unstable and reactive species.
. Alkyl radiradicals are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Alkyl radical stability increases as we
proceedfromprimary to tertiary:
Organic reactions, which proceed by homolytic fission are called free radical or homopolaror nonpolar
reactions.

21 At constant volume heat capacity = Cv At constant pressure heat capacity = Cp
At constant volume qv= CvΔT = ΔU ½
At constant pressure qp = Cp ΔT = ΔH For one mole of an ideal gas ½
ΔH = ΔU + Δ (PV) = ΔU + Δ (RT) ½
ΔH = ΔU + RΔT
On substituting the values of ΔH and Δu, the equation is modified as Cp ΔT = ½
CvΔT + RΔT
