6. (a) Sandmeyer's reaction

Explanation:
+ −
C6 H5 N Cl + C u2 C l2 /H Cl → C6 H5 Cl
2

Mixing the solution of the freshly prepared diazonium salt with cuprous chloride or cuprous bromide
results in the replacement of the diazonium group by –Cl or –Br. This is called Sandmeyer's reaction.
7.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the solvent flows from a solution of lower concentration to a
solution of higher concentration. Here, the movement of water molecules takes place in the highly

concentrated salt content of blood cells to such an extent that the cell membrane ruptures.

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Dissociation results in the increase in the number of particles and hence increase in the value of
colligative property and decrease in the molecular mass. Association results in the reverse.

9. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:
If a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side, the pure solvent flows
out of the solution through semi-permeable membrane and this phenomenon is called as reverse
db

osmosis.
10. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Tert-Butyl bromide undergoes Wurtz reaction to give 2, 2, 3, 3-tetramethyl butane because in the
tertiary butyl bromide reacts with NaI in dry ether and thus form 2, 2, 3, 3-tetramethyl butane.
11.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
Vinylic halides are very less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions because of the
resonance effect. Resonance gives rise to partial double bond character to the carbon-halogen bond
making it stronger and therefore more difficult to cleave than a C sp3 - X bond. It also reduces the
polarity of the carbon-halogen bond thereby making heterolysis difficult.

14. If the force of attraction between A - B are different from A - A and B - B, there will be deviation from
Raoult's law. As a result of this difference in interaction, there will be difference in vapour pressure of
the mixture of A and B compared to pure A and pure B.
15. a. Negative deviation
Because A − B interactions are stronger than A − A and B − B interactions
b. Because of same composition in liquid and vapour phase
16. The electrophilic substitution of arenes with iodine is reversible in nature and require the presence of an
oxidising agent (HNO3, HIO4) to oxidise the HI formed during iodination.

23. i. Carbondioxide is a gas which provide fizz and tangy flavour. He can dissolve Carbondioxide gas in the
drink.
ii. Henry’s law which states that solubility of a gas in liquid is directly proportional to partial pressure of
the gas.
iii. Bottles should be sealed under high pressure of CO2 and capping should be done perfectly to avoid
leakage of CO2 as any loss of partial pressure will result into decrease in solubility.
