Plus One Chemistry Previous Year Question Papers and Answers 2017 Q14

Answers

Answer 1:
1. a.i. 1 mole
Mass of one electron = 9.1 x 10-28 g
= 9.1 x 10-25 mg
Mass of 1 mol of electron
= 9.1 x 10-25 x 6.022 x 10-23= 0.55 mg
So 0.55 mg of electron = 1 mol of electron

b. Empirical formula of C6 H12O6 is CH2O
Empirical formula of C6H6 is CH
Empirical formula of CH3COOH is CH2O
Enpiric formula of C6H6Cl6 is CHCl

ii. 10 electrons in d subshell.
iii. 1s

b. Heisenberg’s uncertainty states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously and precisely both the exact position and exact momentum or velocity of a subatomic particle like an electron.
Mathematically, ∆x ∆p ≥ \(\frac { h }{ 4\pi }\)

where ∆p is the uncertainty in the momentum of the particle, ∆x is the uncertainty in position.
From this equation, it is seen that if ∆p increases, the ∆x decreases, and vice versa. It is also can be written as follows:
∆x ∆p ≥ \(\frac { h }{ 4\pi m }\)

Answer 3:
a. Electron gain enthalpy is the enthalpy change when an electron is added to the outer most shell of an isolated gaseous atom in the ground state.
b. The factors affecting electron gain enthalpy are atomic size, nuclear charge, shielding effect, electronic configuration etc. As the atomic size increases. ∆eg H decreases. When nuclear charge increases, electron gain enthalpy increases.
c. Oxidation state is +3
Covalency is 6.

Answer 4:
a. In PCl5, five sp3d orbitals of phosphorus overlap with singly occupied p-orbitals of chlorine atoms to form five P-Cl bonds. Three P-Cl bond lie in one plane and make bond angle of 120°. These bonds are equitorial bonds. The remaining two P-Cl bond lye above and below the equitorial plane making an angle of 90° with the plane. These bonds are called axial bonds.
Plus One Chemistry Previous Year Question Papers and Answers 2017 a4

b. Two P-Cl axial bonds are slightly elongaed to minimise repulsion from equitorial bond pairs. So axial bonds are weaker than equitorial bonds in PCl5.
c. CN and NO+

Answer 5:
a.i. Glass is a very viscous liquid. So it has a tendency to flow very slightly. Hence the window panes of old buildings are thicker at the bottom than at the top.
ii. On heating, the glass melts and the surface of the liquid tend to take the rounded shape at the edges, which makes the edges smooth.
b. i. Most probable velocity is the velocity possessed by a maximum number of gas molecules.
ii. N2.

b. Given All0 = -10.5 kJ/mol = -10.5 x 103 J/mol
AS0 = -44.1 J/K/ mol, T= 298 K We know that AH° = AU° + AnRT Here AH° = -10500 + (-1)x 8.314 x 298 = -12978 J/ mol
AG° = AH0 – T AS0 = -12978 – (298 X44.1) = -164 J/ mol = -0.164 kJ/ mol.

Answer 6:
a.

Extensive properties Intensive properties
Heat capacity Refractive Index
Entropy Surface tension

b. Given ∆U° = -10.5 kJ/mol = -10.5 x 103 J/mol
∆S° = -44.1 JIKI mol, T = 298 K
We know that ∆H° = ∆U° + ∆nRT
Here ∆H° = -10500 + (-1)x 8.314 x 298
= -12978 J/ mol
∆G° = ∆H° – T∆S° = -12978- (298 X 44.1)
= -164 J/ mol = -0.164 kJ/ mol.

Answer 7:
a. Neutral – NaCl
Acidic – NH4NO3
Basic – NaCN, NaNO2
b. Because blood is a buffer solution.
c. Mg (OH)2 → Mg2+ + 2 OH
Solubility: S S 2S
Ksp = [Mg2+][OH]2 = S X (2S)2 = 4S3
= 4 x (1.5 x 10-4 )3 = 1.35 x 10-11

Answer 8:
Step 1 : The skeletal equation is :
MnO4 +Br → MnO2 + BrO3

Step 2 : Assign oxidation number each element and identify the elements under-going change in oxidation number.
Mn+1O4-2 + Br-1 → Mn+4O-22 + BC+5O3-2
Here the oxidation number of Mn and Br are changed.

Step 3 : Calculate the increase and decrease in oxidation number and make them equal by multiplying with suitable number.
2MnO4 + Br → 2 MnO2+ BrO3

Step 4 : Since the reaction takes place in the basic medium, 20H ions on the RHS to balance the ionic charges on both sides.
2MnO+4 + Br → 2 MnO2 + BrO3 + 2OH

Step 5 : Now balance hydrogen atom by adding a sufficient number of H2O molecules. Here add one H20 molecule on LHS.
2MnO+4+ Br +H2O → 2MnO2+ BrO3+ 2OH
This is the balanced equation.

Answer 9:
a. i. 2Na + 2H2O → 2 NaOH + H2
or
2Na + 2 HCl → 2NaCl + H2
ii. Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
OR
Zn + 2 NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + H2
iii. CaH2 + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + 2H2
iv. 2Al + 6 HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2 (Any three)

b. Cn H2n+1 is neither a Lewis acid nor a Lewis base due to the absence of vacant orbitals or lone pairs of electrons on carbon.

Answer 10:

ii. Baking soda : Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
iii. Slaked lime : Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)
iv. Milk of lime : Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(0H)2)

Answer 11:
a. Borax dissolves in water to give NaOH and orthoboric acid. Since NaOH is a strong alkali and orthoboric acid is a weak acid, the solution is basic in nature.
Na2B4O7 + 7 H2O → 2NaOH + 4H3BO3

b. Borax is used for the detection of transition elements by Borax bead test. It is used for the manufacture of heat-resistant glasses, glass-wool, and fiberglass. It is also used as a flux for soldering metals, for heat, scratch and stain resistant, glazed coating to earthenwares and as a  constituent of medicinal soaps. :
c. Diamond has a three-dimensional network structure with extended covalent bonding.

b. CH3 – CH2 is more stable than (CH3)2CH since for carbanions the stability order 1° > 2° > 3° due to inductive effect.

c. Crystallization is based on the difference in the solubilities of the compound which is dissolved in a solvent in which it is sparingly soluble at room temperature but appreciably soluble at higher temperature. The solution is concentrated to get a nearly saturated solution at a higher temperature. On cooling the solution , pure compound crystallizes out and is removed by filtration.

OR

a. i. 3- Bromo-3-chloroheptane
ii. 4-Ethyl-2-methylaniline

b. (CH3)3C+ is more stable than CH3 – CH2+ since the stability of carbocations follow the order 3° > 2° > 1° due to inductive effect and hyperconjugation.

c. This method is used to purify liquids having very high boiling points and those, which decompose at or below their boiling points. Such liquids are made to boil at a temperature lower than their normal boiling points by reducing the pressure on their surface. The pressure is reduced with the
