July 20 Shift 1 – Chemistry Question Paper and Solutions

Question 1. The Vapour pressure of pure benzene is 70 torr and that of methylbenzene is 20 torr. If we have an equimolar mixture of the above two components, find the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase.


Answer:7/9

\(\begin{array}{l}P_{C_{6}H_{6}}^{0} = 70\: torr\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}P_{C_{6}H_{5}CH_{3}}^{0} = 20\: torr\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}X_{C_{6}H_{6}} = X_{C_{6}H_{5}CH_{3}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}Y_{C_{6}H_{6}} = \frac{P_{C_{6}H_{6}}^{0} \times X_{C_{6}H_{6}}}{(P_{C_{6}H_{6}}^{0}\times X_{C_{6}H_{6}}) + (P_{C_{6}H_{5}CH_{3}}^{0}\times X_{C_{6}H_{5}CH_{3}})}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}Y_{C_{6}H_{6}} = \frac{70 \times X_{C_{6}H_{6}}}{(70\times X_{C_{6}H_{6}}) + (20\times X_{C_{6}H_{5}CH_{3}})}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}Y_{C_{6}H_{6}} = \frac{7}{9}\end{array} \)

Question 2. The number of lone pairs present on the central atom of

\(\begin{array}{l}I_{3}^{-}\end{array} \)
is:


a. 9
b. 1
c. 6
d. 3

Answer:(d)

JEE Main 2021 Question Paper Maths July 20 Shift 1 Question 2

\(\begin{array}{l}I_{3}^{-}\end{array} \)
has a linear structure. The number of lone pairs on the central atom is 3.

Question 3. The wave number of the spectral line in the emission spectrum of Hydrogen will be equal to 8/9 times the Rydberg’s constant if the electron jumps from:


a. n = 3 to n = 1
b. n = 9 to n = 1
c. n = 10 to n = 1
d. n = 2 to n = 1

Answer:(a)

Wave number

\(\begin{array}{l}(\bar{v})\end{array} \)
of spectral line in emission spectrum of hydrogen,

\(\begin{array}{l}(\bar{v}) = R_{H} \left ( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right )\end{array} \)

Given:

\(\begin{array}{l}\bar{v} = \frac{8}{9}R_{H}\end{array} \)

Putting the value, we get:

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{8}{9}R_{H} = R_{H} \left ( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right )\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{8}{9} = \left ( \frac{1}{1^{2}} – \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right )\end{array} \)

N2 = 3

Question 4. 250 ml of 0.5 m NaOH is added to 500 mL of 1 M HCl. What is the final concentration of the remaining HCl?


a. 0.1 M
b. 0.5 M
c. 50 M
d. 5 M

Answer:(b)

Neutralization reaction:

NaOH + HCl → Nacl + H2O

Millimoles of NaOH = (250 × 0.5) mmol = 125 mmol

Millimoles of HCl = (500 × 1) mmol = 500 mmol

According to reaction:

1 mmol of HCl is neutralized by 1 mmol of NaOH.

HCl remaining = 500 – 25 mmol = 375 mmol

Final concentration of remaining

\(\begin{array}{l}HCl = \frac{HCl \: remaining}{Total\; Volume} = \frac{375 mmol}{(500+250)mL} = 0.5 M\end{array} \)

Question 5. Three complexes [CoCl(NH3)5]2+ (I), [Co(NH3)5H2O}3+ (II) and [Co(NH3)6}3+ (III)absorb light in the visible region. The correct order of the wavelengths of light absorbed by them is:


a. (III) > (I) > (II)
b. (I) > (II) > (III)
c. (II) > (I) > (III)
d. (III) > (II) > (I)

Answer:(b)

A complex having a strong field ligand has the tendency to absorb light of the highest energy. Among the three complexes, [Co(NH3)6}3+ will absorb radiation of the highest energy and that will have the least wavelength.

[Co(NH3)5H2O}3+ has a weaker field than the above compound and therefore absorbs radiation of lesser energy and more wavelength.

[CoCl(NH3)5]2+ has the weakest field and therefore will absorb light of least energy and highest wavelength.

Strength of ligand: NH3 > H2O > Cl

Question 6. A person requires 10000 kJ energy per day and ∆H combustion of glucose is 2700 kJ mol-1. How many grams of glucose are required by the body in a day?


a. 666.67 g
b. 6.67 g
c. 66.67 g
d. 6666.67 g

Answer:(a)

Molar mass of glucose (C6H12O6) = 180 g/mol

Moles of glucose required per day =

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1000\: kJ/day}{2700\: kJ/day} = \frac{100}{27}\: mol/day\end{array} \)

Grams of glucose required by the body in a day =

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{100}{27}\times 180(\frac{g}{day})= 666.67\: g/day\end{array} \)

Question 13. Which of the following does not disproportionate?


a. BrO
b.

\(\begin{array}{l}BrO_{2}^{-}\end{array} \)

c.
\(\begin{array}{l}BrO_{3}^{-}\end{array} \)

d.
\(\begin{array}{l}BrO_{4}^{-}\end{array} \)

Answer:(d)

For a species to undergo disproportionation, the oxidation state of the element undergoing disproportionation should lie between its maximum and minimum possible oxidation values.

In option (a), we have the oxidation state of Br = +1

In option (b), we have oxidation of Br = +3

In option (c), we have oxidation of Br = +5

The maximum and minimum possible oxidation state value for Br is +7 and -1 respectively. So, from this we can conclude that

\(\begin{array}{l}BrO_{4}^{-}\end{array} \)
will not undergo disproportionation.

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

a. Acidic
b. Basic
c. Amphoteric
d. Neutral

Answer:(a)

P4O10 + 4 HNO3 → 4HPO3 + 2N2O5

N2O5 is an acidic oxide.

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Question 15. Which of the following is most economically refined by fractional distillation?


a. Zn
b. Ni
c. Cu
d. Fe

Answer:(a)

The main impurities in Zn are generally cadmium, lead and iron. There is very little difference in the boiling point of zinc and these impurities so zinc can be refined using fractional distillation.

For refining of copper, we generally use electrorefining, cupellation or poling as the refining techniques.

For Ni, vapour phase refining, i.e., the Mond process is used.

For Fe, we use an oxidative refining technique.

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

a. 1
b. 0
c. 2
d. 3

31Ga+ – 1s2 2s22p63s23p63d104s2

JEE Main 2021 Question Paper Maths July 20 Shift 1 Question 17

Since the last electron is in the 4s subshell and for the ‘s’ subshell, the value of the azimuthal quantum number(l) is 0.

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Question 24. The hybridization of xenon in XeOF4 is


a. sp3
b. sp3d
c. sp3d2
d. Sp3d3

Answer:(c)

JEE Main 2021 Question Paper Maths July 20 Shift 1 Question 24

Hybridization can be predicted with the help of a steric number.

Steric number = No. of sigma bond +No. of Lone pairs

Steric number = 5 + 1

Therefore,

The steric number is 6

So, the hybridization will be sp3d2

Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Question 25. Find the second excitation energy of Li2+.


a. 108.8 eV
b. 81.6 eV
c. 13.6 eV
d. 95.2 eV

Answer:(a)

Second excitation energy means the electron is jumping from the first shell to the third shell.

Therefore,

Second excitation energy, E = E3 – E1

E3 is energy in the third shell

E1 is energy in the first shell

Second excitation energy =

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{-13.6 Z^{2}}{n_{3}^{2}} – \frac{-13.6 Z^{2}}{n_{1}^{2}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}E = -13.6 \times Z^{2}\left [ \frac{1}{n_{3}^{2}} – \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} \right ]\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}E = -13.6 \times 3^{2}\left [ \frac{1}{3^{2}} – \frac{1}{1^{1}} \right ]\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}E = -13.6 \times 3^{2}\left [ \frac{1}{9} – 1 \right ]\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}E = -13.6 \times 9\left [ \frac{-8}{9} \right ]\end{array} \)

E = 13.6 × 8

E = 108.8 eV

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
