break the inter molecular H- bond among water molecules in much higher than energy
released by water halide interaction.

At anode: Hydroxide ions having lower discharge potential will be discharged in the
preference to sulphate ions. Hydroxide ions will decompose to oxygen.

Q26. (a) H2SO4 oxidises KI to I2
(b) Ans: Alkoxy group directs the incoming group to ortho and para positions due to
high charge electron density at ortho and para position compare to meta position.
Hence incoming substituents to ortho and para position in benzene ring.
(c) Ans: The solubility of alcohols in water is due to their ability to form hydrogen
bonds with water molecules. Hydrocarbons cannot form such hydrogen bonds, hence
they are insoluble in water.
Q27. Ans: (a) (i) Wolff Kishner reduction:
Hydrazine followed by heating with sodium or potassium hydroxide in high boiling
solvent such as ethylene glycol.

(ii) Cannizzaro reaction.
Ans:Aldehydes which do not have an alpha hydrogen atom undergo self oxidation and
reductionreaction on heating with concentrated alkali. In this reaction, one molecule
of the aldehyde is reduced to alcohol while another is oxidised to carboxylic acid salt.

Ans:
Essential Amino Acids Nonessential Amino Acids
Essential amino acids are the amino acids Nonessential amino acids need not be
which have to be taken in through diet as taken in through diet as they can be
they “CAN NOT” be produced by the produced by the body

9 amino acids out of 20 are thought to be 11 of the 20 amino acids are non-
essential essential
Must be obtained from daily diet. Can be synthesized by human body.
Example: Histidine, leucine Example: serine, tyrosine.

(c) [Ti (H2O)6] 3+is an octahedral complex. The oxidation state of Ti is +3 with the
coordination number 6. Its outer electronic configuration is 3d1, which means that it
has one unpaired electron. This unpaired electron is excited from t2g level to eg level
by absorbing yellow light and hence appears violet coloured.
OR
(i) Hexaamine chromium (III) ion is paramagnetic.
Cr (III) has electronic configuration [Ar]3d3 4s 0 .It contains 3 unpaired electrons. A
complex is paramagnetic due to presence of unpaired electrons.
15BM
(ii) Co3+ t2g6 eg0 diamagnetic
SECTION E
Q31.
(a) Transition elements can use their ns and (n-1) d orbital electrons for bond
formation since there is very small energy difference, , they show variable oxidation
states.
(b) The transition metals and their compounds, acts as catalyst, because of their
ability to adopt multiple oxidation states, ability to adsorb the reactants and ability to
form complexes.
They form bonds between reactants and atoms at the surface of the catalyst.
(c) Because small atoms of certain non metallic elements like H, C, N etc get trapped
in vacant spaces of lattices of the transition metals. As a result of filling of the
interstitial spaces such interstitial compounds are hard and rigid.
(d) This is observed due to lanthanoid contraction. ( due to filling of 4f - orbitals
which has poor shielding effect.
(e) E∘ value for Cr3+/Cr2+ is negative (−0.41V) whereas E∘ value for Mn3+/Mn2+ is
positive (+1.57V) . Hence, Cr2+ ion can easily undergo oxidation to give Cr3+ ion and ,
therefore , acts as strong reducing agent where as Mn3+ can easily undergo reduction
to giveMn2+ and hence acts as oxidizing agent.
Q32.

(c) For a first order reaction, we have,
t = 2.303/k log [R0]/[R]
For 99 % completition of a reaction
t = t 0.99, [R0]=1, [R]t = (1-0.99)= 0.01,
t 0.9 9= 2.303/k log 1/10-2
= 2.303/ k log 102
= 2.303/k X 2
For 90 % completion of reaction
t = t 0.90 [ R0 ] =1, [R] = ( 1- 0.9) = 0.1 =10-1
t 0.90 = 2.303/k log 1/10-1
= 2.303/k log 10
= 2.303/k
Comparing equation (i) and (ii)
t 0.99 = 2 X t 0. 90
Q33
a) Ans: The aromatic compound A is benzoic acid C6H5COOH.
On treatment with aqueous ammonia and heating forms compound B, which is
benzamide C6H5CONH2.
Benzamide on heating with bromine and KOH forms a compound C of molecular
formula C6H7N, which is aniline C6H5NH2.
The reaction is called Hoffmann bromamide degradation.
