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:
29. Passage-1: Thermodynamics deals with energy changes in chemical or
physical processes and enables us to study these changes quantitatively and to make
useful predictions. Chemical reactions are generally carried out at constant
pressure.
In thermodynamics, extensive & intensive properties can be observed. Values of
some properties depend upon the quantity of matter present in a system while others
do not depend upon. We also measure the heat transferred to a system.
The increase of temperature is proportional to the heat transferred. The magnitude
of the coefficient depends upon the size, composition and nature of the system.
 Change can be found out from the heat changes at constant pressure while entropy
is a measure of degree of randomness. For a spontaneous process, total entropy
change is positive.
Answer the following questions:
i) For an isolated system, ΔU = 0 what will be ΔS?
ii) Which of the following is an extensive property?
(a) Volume (b) temperature (c) pressure (d) density
iii) Derive the relation between Cp and Cv for an ideal gas

iii) Calculate kJ of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 60.0g of
aluminum from 350C to 550C. Molar heat capacity of Al is 24Jmol-1K.
30. Passage-2: In an organic reaction, the organic molecules react with an
appropriate attacking reagent and leads to the formation of one or more
intermediate(s) and finally products.
A sequence account of each step, describing details of electron movement, energetic
during bond cleavage and bond formation, and the rates of transformation of
reaction into products (kinetics) is referred to as reaction mechanism.
A covalent bond can cleave either homolytically or heterolytically. Homolytic cleavage
forms free radicals where heterolytic cleavage produces either carbocation or
carbanions.
The electron displacements due to the influence of an atom or a substituent group
present in the molecule cause permanent polarization of the bond. Inductive effect
and resonance effect are examples of this type. Temporary electron displacement
effects are seen in a molecule when a reagent approaches to attack it. This type of
electron displacement is known as Electromeric effect.
Answer the following questions:
i) Which bond is more polar in the following pairs of molecules?
(a) CH3-NH2 or CH3-OH (b) CH3-H or CH3-Br
ii) Classify the following as electron releasing groups or electron withdrawing
groups. –NO2, –OCH3

iii) Which electron displacement effect explains the following correct order of
acidity of the carboxylic acids?
