a. A, B
b. A, C
c. B, C
d. A, D

Answer: (a)

Isostructural compounds are those that have the same structure as well as same hybridisation.

In case (B), the structure of SO2-4 is tetrahedral as it has 4s bonds and zero lone pairs on the central atom. Similarly, CrO2-4 also has 4s bonds and zero lone pairs on the central atom. According to VSEPR, the structures of SO2-4 and CrO2-4 are:

JEE Main 24th Feb Shift 1 Chemistry Paper Question 12 solution

Hence, we can say, SO2-4 and CrO2-4 are isostructural.

In case (A), TiCl4 has 4s bonds and zero lone pairs on the central atom. Hence, it is tetrahedral. Similarly, SiCl4 is also tetrahedral.

JEE Main 24th Feb Shift 1 Chemistry Paper Question 12 solution

Hence, TiCl4 and SiCl4 are also isostructural.

In case (C), NH3 has 3s bonds and 1 lone pair of electrons around nitrogen. Thus, according to VSEPR, NH3 has a pyramidal structure. In NO3, the nitrogen atom has 3 bonds and no lone pair of electrons. Thus, it is trigonal planar. According to VSEPR, the structures of NH3 and NO3 are:

JEE Main 24th Feb Shift 1 Chemistry Paper Question 12 solution

Hence, NH3 and NO3 are not isostructural.

In case (D), ClF3 has 3 s and 2 lone pairs on the central atom. Its structure is distorted T shaped (but geometry is trigonal bipyramidal). BCl3 has 3 s bonds and no lone pair on the B atom. Thus, it is trigonal planar.

JEE Main 24th Feb Shift 1 Chemistry Paper Question 12 solution

Hence, ClF3 and BCl3 are not isostructural.

Question 13. Which of the following ores are concentrated by cyanide of group 1st element?


a. Sphalerite
b. Malachite
c. Calamine
d. Siderite

Answer: (a)

Cyanide acts as a depressant and is therefore used to concentrate the galena-sphalerite ore through the froth floatation process. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Question 14. S-1: Colourless cupric metaborate is converted into cuprous metaborate in a luminous flame.


a. S-1 is true and S-2 is false
b. S-1 is false and S-2 is true
c. Both are false
d. Both are true

Answer: (c)

Cupric metaborate (Cu(BO2)2 is blue-green in color and is not colorless, but it does convert into cuprous metaborate in a luminous flame(reducing flame)

2Cu(BO2)2 + C ? 2CuBO2 + B2O3 + CO?

Thus, S-1 is incorrect.

Cuprous metaborate is formed by reacting copper sulphate with boric anhydride in a luminous flame.

CuSO4 + B2O3 ? Cu(BO2)2 + SO3?

Hence, S-2 is also incorrect.

Question 15. In the given reactions,

1) I2 + H2O2 + 2OH ? 2I + 2H2O + O2

2) H2O2 + HOCl ? Cl + H3O+ + O2


a. H2O2 acts as an oxidising agent in both the reactions
b. H2O2 acts as a reducing agent in both the reactions
c. H2O2 acts as an oxidising agent in reaction (1) and as a reducing agent in reaction (2)
d. H2O2 acts as a reducing agent in reaction (1) and as an oxidizing agent in reaction (2)

Answer: (b)

In the first reaction, I is reduced from 0 to -1.

In the second reaction, Cl is reduced from +1 to -1

Hence, in both the reactions, H2O2 acts as a reducing agent.

Question 16. EoM2+/ M has a positive value for which of the following elements of 3d transition series?


a. Cu
b. Zn
c. Cr
d. Co

Answer: (a)

According to the electrochemical series, elements present above H have positive Eo value. For M2+(aq)/ M(s), out of the given options, Cu2+(aq)/Cu(s) will be the answer.

Zn2+(aq) + 2e? Zn(s) ; Eo = -0.763 V

Co2+(aq) + 2e? Co(s) ; Eo = -0.28 V

Cr2+(aq) + 2e? Cr(s) ; Eo = -0.9 V

Question 17. Identify X, Y, Z in the given reaction sequence.

\(\begin{array}{l}Al + NaOH \rightarrow X\overset{Y(g)}{\rightarrow}Z\end{array} \)


a. X = Na[Al(OH)4] ; Y = CO2 ; Z = Al2O3.xH2O
b. X = Na[Al(OH)4] ; Y = SO2 ; Z = Al2O3.xH2O
c. X = Al(OH)3 ; Y = CO2 ; Z = Al2O3
d. X = Al(OH)3 ; Y = SO2 ; Z = Al2O3

Answer: (a)

\(\begin{array}{l}Al + NaOH \rightarrow Na[Al(OH)_{4}]\overset{CO_{2}}{\rightarrow}NaHCO_{3} + Al(OH)_{3} + H_{2}O\end{array} \)

Thus, X = Na[Al(OH)4] ; Y = CO2 ; Z = Al2O3.xH2O

Question 20. Arrange Mg, Al, Si, P and S in the correct order of their ionisation potentials.


Answer: P > S > Si > Mg > Al

In the third period of the periodic table,

Element

Valence Shell Configuration

Na

3s1

Mg

3s2

Al

3s23p1

Si

3s23p2

P

3s23p3

S

3s23p4

Ideally, from left to right, ionization enthalpy increases. But we see exceptions in (Mg, Al) & (P, S) where the element to the left, Mg and P, have higher ionization enthalpies compared to their respective immediate neighbors due to stable electronic configuration.

So, the order will be: P > S > Si > Mg > Al

Section B

Question 1. Cl2(g) ? 2Cl(g)

For the given reaction at equilibrium, moles of Cl2(g) is equal to the moles of Cl(g) and the equilibrium pressure is 1atm. If Kp of this reaction is x ×10–1, find x.


Answer: 5

According to the question: Cl2 ? 2Cl [Ptotal = 1 atm].

Moles of Cl2 = Moles of Cl (at equilibrium).

Given: Kp = x ×10-1

nCl2 = nCl.

Therefore, PCl2 = PCl

Hence, PCl2 = PCl = 0.5 atm

kp= (PCl)2/ PCl2 = 0.5 = 5 x 10-1

So, x = 5

Question 2. S8 + bOH ? cS2- + sS2O2-3 + H2O. Find the value of c.


Answer: 4

Let us look at the half reactions i.e. oxidation and reduction separately.

Oxidation:

S8 ? S2O2-3

S8 + 24OH ? 4S2O2-3 + 12H2O +16e ….(1)

Reduction:

S8 ? S2-

S8 + 16e ? 8S2- ….(2)

Adding both the reactions (1) and (2),

2S8 + 24OH ? 4S2O2-3 + 8S2- + 12H2O

Dividing the whole equation by 2,

S8 + 12OH ? 2S2O2-3 + 4S2- + 6H2O

So, c = 4

Question 3. Calculate the time taken in seconds for 40% completion of a first order reaction, if its rate constant is 3.3× 10-4 sec-1.


Answer: 1518

\(\begin{array}{l}t = \frac{1}{k}ln\frac{[A_{o}]}{[A]} = \frac{1\times 2.303}{3.33\times 10^{-4}}log\frac{[5]}{[3]} = \frac{1\times 2.303}{3.33\times 10^{-4}}\times 0.22\end{array} \)

= 30 x 103 x 0.506 = 1518 sec

Question 4. For a chemical reaction, Keq is 100 at 300K, the value of ?Go is –xR Joule at 1 atm pressure. Find the value of x. (Use ln 10 = 2.3)


Answer: 1382

Given: Keq= 100 at 300K and ?Go = –xR Joule 

?Go = -RTln(Keq) = -2.303RTlog(Keq) = -1381.8R

Therefore, x = 1381.8 or 1382

Question 5. Cu2+ + NH3 ? [Cu(NH3)]2+ K1 = 104


[Cu(NH3)]2+ + NH3 ? [Cu(NH3)]2+ K2 = 1.58 × 103

[Cu(NH3)2]2+ + NH3 ? [Cu(NH3)3]2+ K3 = 5 × 102

[Cu(NH3)3]2+ + NH3 ? [Cu(NH3)4]2+ K4 = 102

If the dissociation constant of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is X × 1012. Determine X.

Answer: 1.26

Overall reaction constant (ß):

ß = K1 × K2 × K3 × K4

= 104 (1.58 ×103) × 5 × 102 × 102 = 7.9 × 1011

Cu2+ + 4NH3 ? [Cu(NH3)4]2+ ; ß = 7.9 × 1011

So, the dissociation constant (KDisso.) will be:

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\beta } = \frac{1}{7.9 \times 10^{11}}\end{array} \)

KDisso = 1 / ß = 1.26 × 10-12

Hence, the value of X = 1.26

Question 6. 9.45g of CH2ClCOOH is dissolved in 500 mL of H2O solution and the depression in freezing point of the solution is 0.5°C. Find the percentage dissociation.

(Kf)H2O = 1.86K kg mole-1.


Answer: 34.4%

CH2Cl COOH CH2ClCOO + H+

Initial 1 0 0

Dissociated a a a

Left (1-a) a a

i = final moles / initial moles = 1 – a + a + a / 1 = 1 + a

?Tf = i x Kf × m

0.5 = (1 + a) × 1.86 × m

Molality (m) = nB / WA (kg) = WBMB x WA (kg) = 9.45 × 1000 / 94.5 × 500 = 0.2

Here, A is for solute and B is for solvent

WA=WH2O = 500g (Density of H2O = 1g/mL)

0.5 = (1+ a) ×1.86 × 0.2

a = 0.344

Percentage of dissociation = 34.4%

Question 7. What is the coordination number in Body Centered Cubic (BCC) arrangement of identical particles?


Answer: 8

The easiest way is to look at the atom at the body center. It lies at the center of the body diagonal and touches the eight corner atoms. So, coordination number = 8.

Question 8. Among the following compounds, how many are amphoteric in nature?

Be(OH)2, BeO, Ba(OH)2, Sr(OH)2


Answer: 2

The oxide and hydroxide of Be are amphoteric. Hence BeO and Be(OH)2 is amphoteric. Ba(OH)2 and Sr(OH)2 are basic.

Question 9. 4.5 g of a solute having molar mass of 90 g/mol is dissolved in water to make a 250 mL solution. Calculate the molarity of the solution.


Answer: 0.2

WB (given weight of solute) = 4.5 g

MB (Molar mass of solute) = 90 g/mol

VS (Volume of solution) = 250 mL

= 250 / 1000 L = 1/4 L

Molarity (M) = nB / VS(L) = WB / MB.VS(L = 4.5 / (90 ×1/4) = 0.2 molar

Question 10. The mass of Li3+ is 8.33 times the mass of a proton. If Li3+ and proton are accelerated through the same potential difference, then the ratio of de Broglie’s wavelength of Li3+ to proton is x ×10–1. Find x


m (Li3+) = 8.33 × m p+ (given)

Debroglie’s wavelength (?) = h / p

KE = ½ mv2

Multiplying by m on both sides

m. KE = ½ mv2

2m. KE = (mv)2 = p2

P = v2m. KE

Also KE= q × V

So, P = 2mq.V

JEE Main 24th Feb Shift 1 Chemistry Paper Question 10 solution
