12. (B) charge transfer from ligand to metal
13. (D)A is false but R is true.
The half- life for a zero-order reaction t1/2 = [Ro]/2k where [Ro] is the initial concentration of the
reactant.
14. (D) A is false but R is true.
15. (D) A is false but R is true.
Assertion is false, because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution under ordinary
conditions. This is due to resonance, because of which the carbon– chlorine bond acquires partial
double bond character. hence it becomes shorter and stronger and thus cannot be replaced by
nucleophiles. However, Reason is true.
16. (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
SECTION B
17. In the cell reaction: Cu + 2Ag+ → 2Ag + Cu2+
At anode: Cu → Cu2+ + 2e
Page 1 of 8
At Cathode: 2 Ag+ + 2e → 2Ag
The representation of cell = Cu(s) | Cu2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag (s)
18.
OR
19.
20. (a) p-nitrobenzaldehyde is more reactive towards the nucleophilic addition reaction than p-
tolualdehyde as Nitro group is electron withdrawing in nature. Presence of nitro group decrease
electron density, hence facilitates the attack of nucleophile. Presence of -CH 3 leads to +I effect
as - CH3 is electron releasing group.
(b) Butan-1-ol has higher boiling point due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
21. (a) Cu2+(aq) is much more stable than Cu+(aq). This is because although second ionization
enthalpy of copper is large but Δhyd (hydration enthalpy) for Cu2+(aq) is much more negative than
that for Cu+(aq) and hence it more than compensates for the second ionization enthalpy of
copper. Therefore, many copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous solution and undergo
disproportionation as follows:
2Cu+ → Cu2+ + Cu

(b) Because of very small energy gap between 5f, 6d and 7s subshells all their electrons can take
part in bonding and shows variable oxidation states.
SECTION C
22.
23. According to the formula
ΔG° = -nFE° = – 2 × 96500 ×1.05
or ΔG° = -202650 J mol-1 = -202.65 KJ mol-1
Now ΔG° ⇒ -202650 J Mol-1
R = 8.314 J/Mol/K, T = 298 K

31. Applying Nernst equation we have:
= 1.05 − 0.02955 log 4 × 104
= 1.05 − 0.02955 (log 10000 + log 4)
= 1.05 − 0.02955 (4 + 0.6021)
= 0.914 V

(a) Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions : The limiting molar conductivity of an
electrolyte (i.e. molar conductivity at infinite dilution) is the sum of the limiting ionic
conductivities of the cation and the anion each multiplied with the number of ions present in one
formula unit of the electrolyte

33. A, B and C contain carbonyl group as they give positive 2,4 DNP test.
A and B are aldehydes as aldehydes reduce Tollen’s reagent.
C is a ketone, as it contains carbonyl group but does not give positive Tollen’s test (1/2)
C is a methyl ketone as it gives positive iodoform test
B is an aldehyde that gives positive iodoform test (1/2)
D is a carboxylic acid Since the number of carbons in the compounds A, B, C and D is three or
two B is CH3CHO as this is only aldehyde which gives a positive iodoform test. (1/2)
The remaining compounds A, C and D have three carbons A is CH3CH2CHO, C is CH3COCH3
and D is CH3CH2COOH (1/2 each)
OR

(a) Acetic acid will give HVZ reaction. Carboxylic acids having an α-hydrogen are halogenated
at the α-position on treatment with chlorine or bromine in the presence of a small amount of red
phosphorus to give α-halo carboxylic acids.
