30) Question Explanation:

The question requires calculation of the degree of unsaturation (DBE) and identification of the
number of unique functional groups present in the given structure.
Concept:
Degree of Unsaturation and Group identification.
Solution :
To solve for the Double Bond Equivalent (DBE) and count the different types of functional
groups, we analyze the structure systematically:

1. Double Bond Equivalent (DBE) Calculation: The DBE formula for a 2D structure is: DBE =
Total Rings + Total π bonds.

A. • Rings: There is 1 bicyclic system (Decalin derivative), which counts as 2 rings.

2 π bonds calculation -

A. Cyano groups and isocyano : each has 2π bonds →4π bonds.

B. 1 Aldehyde group (–CHO ): has 1π bond
C. Amide groups (–NH–CO–CH3): has 1π bond.

D. One ketone group has 1π bond.

Total DBE: 2 (rings) + 4 + 1 + 1+1 = 9.

Number of Different Functional Groups: We identify each unique chemical family present in the
molecule:
1. Nitrile/Cyano (-CN)
2. Aldehyde (–CHO)
3. Secondary amine
4. Secondary Amide –NH–CO–
5 Ketone

6 Isocyanide -NC group

7 Alcohol.
 Thus the given compound has 9 DBE and 7 different functional groups.

Concept : This question is based on Chirality, Chiral (asymmetric) carbon, Symmetry

elements.

Solution:
A compound is chiral if it has a chiral center (a carbon atom attached to four different groups).

A. 1-Chlorobutane: No carbon is attached to four different groups → Not chiral

B. 2-Deuteropropane: Central carbon has two identical CH3 groups → Not chiral

C. 2-Chloropropane: Central carbon has two identical CH3 groups → Not chiral

D. 1-Deutero-1-chloropropane (CH3CH2CH(D)Cl):
C-1 is attached to H, D, Cl, and CH3CH2 → Chiral

Final Answer: Option (4)

32) Question Explanation: Identify the isomeric deuterated bromide (C4​H8​DBr) that has two
chiral carbon atoms.

Concept: This question is based on optical activity (chiral centers) in haloalkanes.

Solution:

(1). 2-Bromo-1-deuterobutane One chiral carbon.

(2). 2-Bromo-2-deuterobutane. One chiral carbon.

(3). 2-Bromo-3-deuterobutane Two chiral carbon.

(4). 2-Bromo-1-deutero-2-methylpropane. Zero chiral carbon.

Final Answer: Option (3)

33) Question Explanation: Calculating the difference in the number of chiral centers for two
complex molecules X and Y.

Concept: Chiral Carbon Identification.

Solution: A chiral center is an sp3 carbon bonded to four different groups.

[X] [Y]
(a) chiral centre = 5 (b) chiral centre = 3
So, the value of (a – b) is 2.

Final Answer: Option (2)

34) Galena → Pbs

Tinstone → SnO2
Calamine → ZnCO3
Bauxite → Al2O3.2H2O

Ans : B, D
Argentite – Ag2S
Cuprite – Cu2O
Malachite – Cu(OH)2· CuCO3
Azurite – Cu(OH)2 · 2CuCO3

36)

(D) is correct because calcination is used to remove moisture, to remove organic matter and to
convert carbonate ore to oxide.

38) Question Explain:

Select the reason when galena is associate with impurities of ZnS in the forth floatation
process.

Concept:
This question is based on forth floatation process.

Solution: In the forth floatation NaCN acts as a depressant when PbS from ZnS because it
forms a soluble complex, Na2[Zn(CN)4] with ZnS, preventing it from attaching to the forth,
while allowing galena to float & be separated.
Final Answer: Option (2)

The correct option is (4)

42) Here we need minimum value of

Electronic configuration of Ca
Ca = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
n= 1 2 2 3 3 4
ℓ= 0 0 1 0 1 0
only Non zero value of ℓ

⇒ Now for minimum value for

n. should be minimum, so selected shell = 2
⇒ Total electrons for selected values of
(n, , mℓ) = 4 electron of 2 p

43)

Correct Answer is (A)

44) De-Broglie wavelength of electron in H-atom = λ1

De-Broglie wavelength of electron in Li2+-ion= λ2
λ1 = 3λ2

n1 = 4

Maximum number of spectral lines = 3

45) For single electron species energy only depends on 'n' (principal quantum number)
So energy of 2s = 2p
and energy of 3d < 4s

57)
For reflexive x × x ≥ 0 which is true.
For symmetric
If
If x = 2, y = 0 and z = –2
Then but x.z ≥ 0 is not true
⇒ not transitive relation.

Question Explanation: Determine which of two relations on real/rational numbers is an

equivalence relation.
Concept: Equivalence Relation (Rational Multiple and Fraction Equivalence)
Solution: We analyze the properties of R (defined on R) and S (defined on Q×Q, implicit from
the fraction notation).
Calculation:

A. Relation R: xRy⟺x=wy for some rational w. (w∈Q)

A. Reflexive (x=wx): True for w=1∈Q (if x=0). Assuming R∖{0}. ⟹ Reflexive.

B. Symmetric (x=wy⟹y=w′x): y=1/w​x. Since w∈Q∖{0}, 1/w​∈Q. ⟹ Symmetric.

C. Transitive (x=w1​y,y=w2​z⟹x=w1​w2​z): Since w1​,w2​∈Q, w1​w2​∈Q. ⟹ Transitive. ⟹R

is an equivalence relation.
 B. Relation S: (m/n​,p/q​)∈S⟺qm=pn. (Fraction equivalence m/n​=p/q​).

A. Reflexive: nm=mn. ⟹ Reflexive.

B. Symmetric: qm=pn⟹pn=qm⟹np=mq. ⟹ Symmetric.

C. Transitive: m/n​=p/q​ and p/q​=r/s​⟹m/n​=r/s​. ⟹ Transitive. ⟹S is an equivalence

relation.
