- Use log tables if necessary. Use of calculators is not allowed.
Section-A
- Out of NaCl and AgCl, which one shows Frenkel defect and why? [1]
- Arrange the following in increasing order of boiling points: [1]
<math>(CH_3)_3N</math>, <math>C_2H_5OH</math>, <math>C_2H_5NH_2</math>
- Why are medicines more effective in colloidal state? [1]
OR
What is difference between an emulsion and a gel?
- Define ambidient nucleophile with an example. [1]
- What is the basic structural difference between glucose and fructose? [1]
OR Write the products obtained after hydrolysis of lactose.
Section-B
- Write balanced chemical equations for the following processes:
- XeF<sub>2</sub> undergoes hydrolysis.
- MnO<sub>2</sub> is heated with conc. HCl.
OR
Arrange the following in order of property indicated for each set:
- <math>H_2O</math>, <math>H_2S</math>, <math>H_2Se</math>, <math>H_2Te</math> – increasing acidic character
- HF, HCl, HBr, HI decreasing bond enthalpy
7. State Raoult's law for a solution containing volatile components. Write two characteristics of the solution which obeys Raoult's law at all concentrations. [2]
- For a reaction
[2] <math>2H_2O_2 \xrightarrow{\Gamma} 2H_2O + O_2</math>
the proposed mechanism is as given below:
- <math>H_2O_2 + I^- \rightarrow H_2O + IO^-</math> (slow)
- <math>H_2O_2 + IO^- \rightarrow H_2O + I^- + O_2</math> (fast)
- Write rate law for the reaction.
- Write the overall order of reaction.
- Out of steps (1) and (2), which one is rate determining step?
- When MnO<sub>2</sub> is fused with KOH in the presence of KNO<sub>3</sub> as an oxidizing agent, it gives a dark green compound (A). Compound (A) disproportionates in acidic solution to give purple compound (B). An alkaline solution of compound (B) oxidises KI to compound (C) whereas an acidified solution of
compound (B) oxidises KI to (D). Identify (A), (B), (C), and (D). [2]
- Write IUPAC name of the complex [Pt(en)<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>]. Draw structures of geometrical isomers for this
complex. [2]
OR
Using IUPAC norms write the formulae for the following:
- Hexaamminecobalt(III) sulphate
- Potassium trioxalatochromate(III)
