30) Question Explanation:

2M, 4 litre NaCl aq. solution is mixed with 3M , 1 litre CaCl2 aq.
solution, from resulting solution 50 ml sample is withdrawn & diluted to 1 litre. Molarity of Cl–
in diluted solution is.

Concept: Molarity resultant

Solution:
From NaCl : since NaCl → Na+ + Cl–, the moles of Cl– are equal to the moles of NaCl.
Moles of Cl– = 2 M × 4 L = 8 moles
From CaCl2 : Since CaCl2 → Ca2+ + 2Cl–, each mole of CaCl2 provides two moles of Cl–.
Moles of Cl– = 2 × (3 M × 1 L) = 6 moles
Total Moles : 8 + 6 = 14 moles of Cl–
Total volume(Vtotal) = 4 L + 1L = 5 L

Molarity of Cl– in the mixture (Mmix) =

[Cl–] after dilution =

Question Explanation: The question asks to identify which of the provided chemical
compounds is unable to exhibit geometric (cis-trans) isomerism.

Concept: This question is based on Geometric Isomerism.

Solution :
Geometrical isomerism requires restricted rotation and two different substituents on each
involved atom.
In 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene, the double bond is constrained within a small ring, so a trans
arrangement is not feasible due to excessive ring strain; hence only one stable form exists and
geometrical isomerism is not observed.

Final Answer: Option (3)

42) Question Explanation: Determination of nodal planes for π-bonds in a linear molecule.
Concept: Orbital Overlap and Nodal Planes in Ethyne.
Solution: In Ethyne (HC CH), the molecule is linear and lies along the x-axis (internuclear
axis). Each carbon atom uses sp hybrid orbitals for - bonding.
The remaining two unhybridized 2p orbitals on each carbon (py and pz) form two π-bonds
through lateral overlapping.

A. The π-bond formed by py orbitals has its electron density above and below the xz plane,
making the xz plane its nodal plane.
B. The π-bond formed by pz orbitals has its electron density above and below the xy plane,
making the xy plane its nodal plane.

Final Answer: Options (4)

Question Explanation : Find species where double bonds do not change the ideal bond
angle.
Concept: Symmetrical distribution of electron pairs in VSEPR theory.
Solution :

A. (I) POCl3 : Phosphorus is sp3 hybridized with four atoms attached and zero lone pairs, giving it
a tetrahedral geometry. However, the P = O double bond exerts more repulsion than the
P–Cl single bonds, compressing the angles to approximately 103º instead of the
ideal 109.5º.
B. (II) XeO3F2 : Xenon is sp3d hybridized with a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. All three Oxygen
atoms occupy the equatorial positions as double bonds. Because the equatorial plane is
perfectly symmetrical with three identical Xe = O bonds 120º apart, the double bonds do not
cause an asymmetrical distortion of the idealized angles.
C. (III) XeO2F4 : Xenon is sp3d2 hybridized with an octahedral geometry. The two Oxygen atoms
are placed in axial (opposite) positions to minimize repulsion. Since they are 180º apart and
the four equatorial Fluorine atoms are 90º apart, the symmetry ensures the idealized bond
angles remain unaffected.
D. (IV) XeO4 : Xenon has four Xe = O double bonds and zero lone pairs. It forms a perfectly
tetrahedral geometry. Because all four bonds are identical double bonds, they repel each other
equally, maintaining the exact idealized bond angle of 109.5º.
Equivalent hybridization.

48) Question Explanation: Identify compounds showing geometrical isomerism (GI) due to
restricted rotation.
Concept: Conditions for Geometrical Isomerism.

rings) and two different groups are attached to each end of the restricted site.
(a) 1,3-Dimethylcyclobutane: Shows GI (cis and trans).
(b) Allene with 2 double bonds: Terminal planes are perpendicular; shows optical, not GI.
