(b) [Ni(CN)4]2– does not have unpaired electrons whereas (NiCl4)2– has unpaired elections.
(c) [Ti(H2O)6]3+ has one unpaired electron. It can undergo d-d transition by absorbing energy from visible region and radiates purple colour whereas [Ti(H2O)6]4+ does not have unpaired electrons.
6. Give reasons for the following.
(a) Transition metals act as catalyst.
(b) It is difficult to obtain oxidation state greater than two for copper.
(c) CrO is basic but Cr2O3 is amphoteric.
Answer. (a) It is due to large surface area and ability to show variable oxidation state.
(b) It is due to high third ionisation energy.
(c) Oxidation state of Cr in Cr2O3 is +3 and CrO is +2. Higher the oxidation state, lesser will be ionic character. That is why CrO is basic but, Cr2O3 is amphoteric.
7. Observed and calculated values for standard electrode potentials of elements from Ti to Zn in the first series are depicted in the diagram.
Explain the following observations.
(a) The general trend towards less negative E° values across the series.
(b) The unique behaviour of copper.
(c) More negative E° values of Mn and Zn.
Answer. (a) It is due to increase in sum of first and second ionisation enthalpies.
(b) The high energy needed to convert Cu(s) to Cu2+(aq) is not balanced by hydration energy.
(c) Mn2+ (3d5) is more stable due to half filled d orbitals and Zn2+(3d10) is more stable due to completely filled d-orbitals.
OR
Give reason of the following.
(a) Transition metals form alloys.
(b) Zinc has lowest enthalpy of atomisation.
(c) Manganese shows higher oxidation state of +4 with fluorine but shows +7 with oxygen.
Answer. (a) It is due to similar atomic size, they can replace each other in metallic bond.
(b) It is due to weak metallic bonds due to larger size and absence of unpaired electrons.
(c) It is because ‘F’ cannot form double bond whereas oxygen can form double bonds.
8. (a) Why do true solution not show Tyndall effect?
(b) Lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols. Why?
(c) When KI is added to excess of AgNO3, positively charged AgI sol is formed. Why?
Answer. (a) The particles of true solutions are very small (<1 nm), do not scatter light, and hence, do not show Tyndall effect.
(b) In lyophilic sols, there is strong attraction between dispersed phase and dispersion medium as compared to lyophobic sols.
(c) It is due to adsorption of Ag+ due to excess of AgNO3 forming AgI/Ag+.
9. Arrange the following in increasing order of property specified.
(a) Aniline, ethanamine, N-ethyl ethanamine (solubility in water)
(b) Ethanoic acid, ethanamine, ethanol (boiling point)

(b) Write the reaction for the catalytic reduction of nitrobenzene followed by reaction of product formed with Bromine water.
(c) Out of butan-l-ol and butan-1-amine, which will be more soluble in water and why?
Answer. (a) Add Hinsberg reagent. N-methyl ethanamine will form compound insoluble in KOH while N, N – dimethyl ethanamine will not react.
(c) Butan-1-ol will be more soluble in water because alcohols form stronger H – bonds than amines as oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.
10. An organic compound ‘A’ C8H6 on treatment with dil H2SO4 containing HgSO4 gives a compound ‘B’. ‘B’ can be obtained by reaction of benzene with acetyl chloride in presence of AlCl3(only). ‘B’ on treatment with I2 / KOH gives ‘C’ and a yellow ppt on ‘D’. Identify A, B, C and D. Give the chemical reaction involved.
Answer.
11. Calculate the emf of cell for the following cell reaction at 298 K and also represent the cell E°cell = 2.204V, Mg(s) + Sn2+ (0.1M) → Mg2+ (0.01M) + Sn(s) [log 10 = 1] [log10–1 = – 1]

Section C
12. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Most literature data for the change in food quality based either on some chemical reaction, microbial growth, death or sensory value follow a zero order or first order kinetics. The integrated equations (1) and (2) for the reaction are.
Zero order, loss [A] = [A]0 – k0t
Gain [B] = [B]0 + k0t
