Question 1. 5 g of Zinc is treated separately with an excess of

I. dilute hydrochloric acid and

II. aqueous sodium hydroxide.

The ratio of the volumes of H₂ evolved in these two reactions is:

a) 2:1
b) 1:2
c) 1:1
d) 1:4

Zn + 2NaOH Na₂ZnO₂+ H₂

Zn + 2HCl ZnCl₂+ H₂

So, the ratio of volume of H2 released in both the cases is 1:1.

Answer:(c)

Question 2. The solubility product of Cr(OH)₃ at 298 K is 6×10^-31 . The concentration of hydroxide ions in a saturated solution Cr(OH)₃ will be:
a) (18×10^-31)^1/4
b) (18×10^-31)^1/2
c) (2.22×10^-31)^1/4
d) (4.86×10^-29)^1/4

Cr(OH)_{3 (s)} Cr³⁺_(aq) + 3OH^–_(aq)

1-S S 3S

K_sp = 27S⁴

6×10^-31 = 27S⁴

S = [(6/27)×10^-31]^1/4

[OH^–] = 3S = 3×[(6/27)×10^-31]^1/4

= (18×10^-31)^1/4 M

Answer: (a)

Question 3. Among the statements (a)-(d), the correct ones are:

a) Lithium has the highest hydration enthalpy among the alkali metals.

b) Lithium chloride is insoluble in pyridine.

c) Lithium cannot form ethynide upon its reaction with ethyne.

d) Both lithium and magnesium react slowly with H₂O.

a) (a), (b) and (d) only
b) (b) and (c) only
c) (a), (c) and (d) only
d) (a) and (d) only

Only LiCl amongst the first group chlorides dissolve in pyridine because the solvation energy of lithium is higher than the other salts of the same group. Lithium does not react with ethyne to form ethynilide due to its small size and high polarizability. Lithium and Magnesium both have very small sizes and very high ionization potentials so, they react slowly with water. Amongst all the alkali metals, Li has the smallest size hence, the hydration energy for Li is maximum.

Answer: (a)

Question 4. The first and second ionization enthalpies of a metal are 496 and 4560 kJ mol^-1 respectively. How many moles of HCl and H₂SO₄, respectively, will be needed to react completely with 1 mole of metal hydroxide?
a) 1 and 2
b) 1 and 0.5
c) 1 and 1
d) 2 and 0.5

The given data for ionization energies clearly shows that IE₂≫ IE₁. So, the element belongs to the first group. Therefore, we can say that this element will be monovalent and hence forms a monoacidic base of the type MOH.

MOH + HCl MCl + H₂O

2MOH + H₂SO₄ M₂SO₄+ 2H₂O

So, from the above equation we can say that, 1 mole of metal hydroxide requires 1 mole of HCl and 0.5 mole of H₂SO₄.

Answer: (b)

Number of particles of A = 6

Number of particles of B = 11

K= 11/6 ≈ 2

Answer: (b)

Question 6. The correct order spin-only magnetic moments of the following complexes is:

I. [Cr(H₂O)₆]Br₂

II. Na₄[FeCN₆]

III. Na₃[Fe(C₂O₄)₃] (₀ > P)

IV. (Et₄N)₂[CoCl₄]

a) (III)>(I)>(II)>(IV)
b) (III)>(I)>(IV)>(II)
c) (I)>(IV)>(III)>(II)
d) (II)≈(I)>(IV)>(III)

Complex (I) has the central metal ion as Fe²⁺ with strong field ligands.

Configuration of Fe²⁺ = [Ar] 3d⁶

Strong field ligands will pair up all the electrons and hence the magnetic moment will be zero.

Complex (II) has the central metal ion as Cr²⁺ with weak field ligands.

Configuration of Cr²⁺ = [Ar] 3d⁴

As weak field ligands are present, pairing does not take place. There will be 4 unpaired electrons and hence the magnetic moment = √24 B.M.

Complex (III) has the central metal ion as Co²⁺ with weak field ligands.

Configuration of Co²⁺ = [Ar] 3d⁷

As weak field ligands are present no pairing can occur. There will be 3 unpaired electrons and hence the magnetic moment = √15 B.M.

Complex (IV) has the central metal ion as Fe³⁺ with strong field ligands.

Configuration of Fe³⁺ =[Ar] 3d⁵

Strong field ligands will pair up the electrons but as we have a [Ar] 3d⁵ configuration, one electron will remain unpaired and hence the magnetic moment will be √3 B.M.

Answer: (c)

Question 7. The true statement amongst the following.
a) S is a function of temperature but S is not a function of temperature.
b) Both S and S are functions of temperature.
c) Both S and S are not functions of temperature.
d) S is not a function of temperature but S is a function of temperature.

Entropy is a function of temperature, at any temperature, the entropy can be given as:

\(\begin{array}{l}S_{T} = \int_{0}^{T}\frac{nCdT}{T}\end{array} \)

Change in entropy is also a function of temperature, at any temperature, the entropy change can be given as:

\(\begin{array}{l}\Delta S = \int \frac{dq}{T}\end{array} \)

Answer: (b)

Question 8. The reaction of H₃N₃B₃Cl₃ (A) with LiBH₄ in tetrahydrofuran gives inorganic benzene (B). Furthur, the reaction of (A) with (C) leads to H₃N₃B₃(Me)₃. Compounds (B) and (C) respectively, are:
a) Boron nitride, MeBr
b) Diborane, MeMgBr
c) Borazine, MeBr
d) Borazine, MeMgBr

H₃N₃B₃Cl₃+ LiBH₄ B₃N₃H6+ LiCl + BCl₃

B₃N₃H₃Cl₃ + 3CH₃MgBr B₃N₃H₃(CH₃)₃ + 3MgBrCl

So, we can say that,

B is B₃N₃H₆ and C is CH₃MgBr

Answer: (d)

Question 9. A mixture of gases O₂, H₂ and CO are taken in a closed vessel containing charcoal. The graph that represents the correct behaviour of pressure with time is:

a) distilled water
b) sea water
c) saline water used for intra venous injection
d) water from a well

In distilled water there are no ions present except H⁺ and OH^– ions, both of which are immensely minute in concentration, that renders their collective conductivity negligible.

Answer: (a)

Question 12. The number of sp² hybrid orbitals in molecule of benzene is:
a) 18
b) 24
c) 6
d) 12

Benzene (C₆H₆) has 6 sp² hybridized carbons. Each carbon has 3 -bonds and 1 -bond. 3 -bonds means that there are 3 sp² hybrid orbitals for each carbon. Hence, the total number of sp² hybrid orbitals is 18.

Answer: (12)

Question 22.A sample of milk splits after 60 min. at 300K and after 40 min at 400K when the population of lactobacillus acidophilus in it doubles . The activation energy (in kJ/mol) for this process is closest to : (Given, R = 8.3 J mol^-1K^-1), ln(2/3) = 0.4, e^-3 = 4.0)

The generation time can be utilized to get an indication of the rate ratio. Let the amount generated be (x).

Rate = Amount generated/Time taken

Rate_{300 K} = (x)/60

Rate_{400 K} =(x)/40

Rate _300K/Rate _400K = 40/60

For the same concentration (which is applicable here), the rate ratio can also be equal to the ratio of rate constants.

\(\begin{array}{l}ln\left [ \frac{K_{at \: 400K}}{K_{at \: 300K}} \right ] = \frac{E_{a}}{R}\left [ \frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}} \right ]\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}ln\frac{60}{40} = \frac{E_{a}}{8.3}\left [ \frac{1}{300}-\frac{1}{400} \right ]\end{array} \)

E_a= 0.4 × 8.3 × 1200 = 3984 J/mol = 3.98 kJ/mol

Answer: (3.98)

Question 23. One litre of sea water (d =1.03g/cm³) contains 10.3 mg of O₂ gas. Determine the concentration of O₂ in ppm:

Ppm = (W_Solute/W _Solution)×100

Using the density of the solution and its volume (1L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm³), the weight of the solution can be calculated.

Wsolution = 1.03 × 1000 = 1030 g

Thus, ppm = ((10.3 x 10 ^-3g)/1030 g) × 100

Answer: (10.00)

Question 24. A cylinder containing an ideal gas (0.1 mol of 1.0 dm³ ) is in thermal equilibrium with a large volume of 0.5 molal aqueous solution of ethylene glycol at it freezing point. If the stoppers S₁ and S₂(as shown in the figure) suddenly withdrawn, the volume of the gas in liters after equilibrium is achieved will be: (Given, K_f (water) = 2.0 K kg mol^-1 ,R = 0.08 dm³ atm K^-1 mol^-1)

K_f = 2

Molality, ‘m’ = 0.5

T_f = K_f × m

= (0.5 × 2) = 1

So, the initial temperature now becomes 272 K. Further using the given value of moles and initial volume of the gas and the calculated initial temperature value, we can find out the initial pressure of the ideal gas contained inside the piston.

P_gas = nRT/V₁

= (0.1)(0.08)(272) = 2.176 atm

Now, on releasing the piston against an external pressure of 1 atm, the gas will expand until the final pressure of the gas, i.e. P₂ becomes equal to 1 atm. During this expansion, since no reaction is happening and the temperature of the gas is not changing as well, the boyle’s law relation can be applied.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

2.176 × 1 = 1 × V₂

V₂ = 2.716

Answer: (2.18)
