KVPY SA 2018 – Chemistry

Question 1: The number of water molecules in 250 mL of water is closest to

[Given: Density of water is 1.0 g mL–1; Avogadro’s number = 6.023 × 1023]


a. 83.6 × 1023

b. 13.9 × 1023

c. 1.5 × 1023

d. 33.6 × 1023

Answer: (a)

Given Density of water = 1 g / ml

The volume of water = 250 ml

We know that d = m / v

m = d × v

Mass of H2O = 250 × 1 = 250 g

Mw of H2O = 18 g mol–1

Moles of H2O = wt / Mw = 250 / 18 = 13.89 moles

We know that in 1 mole, the number of H2O

Molecules = NA = 6.023 × 1023 molecules

In 13.89 moles, the no of H2O Molecules

= 6.023 × 1023 × 13.89

= 83.6 × 1023 Molecules

Therefore, the correct option is (a).

Question 2: Among the following, the correct statement is


a. pH decreases when solid ammonium chloride is added to a dilute aqueous solution of NH3

b. pH decreases when solid sodium acetate is added to a dilute aqueous solution of acetic acid
c. pH decreases when solid NaCl added to a dilute aqueous solution of NaOH
d. pH decreases when solid sodium oxalate is added to a dilute aqueous solution of oxalic acid

Answer: (a)

dil. aq. Soln of NH3 → NH3 + H2O ⇒ NH4OH (Weak Base)

KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper with Solutions Q2

If we add NH4Cl, It is an acidic salt because it is prepared by strong acid (HCl) weak base (NH4OH)

So overall pH ↓ because the concentration of H+ ion ↑

pH ∝ (1 / [H+]) or [H+] ↑ pH ↓

Therefore, the correct option is (a).

Question 3: The solubility of BaSO4 in pure water (in g L–1) is closest to [Given: Ksp for BaSO4 is 1.0 × 10–10 at 25°C. The molecular weight of BaSO4 is 233 g mol–1]


a. 1.0 × 10–5

b. 1.0 × 10–3

c. 2.3 × 10–5

d. 2.3 × 10–3

Answer: (d)

Given, Ksp of BaSO4 = 1.0 × 10–10

Molecular weight of BaSO4 = 233 g mol–1 {Moles (n) = weight (g) / molecular weight}

BaSo4 ⇌ Ba+2 + SO42-

Ksp (BaSO4) = S2

S = √Ksp = √1 * 10-10 = 10-5 mol L-1

S = 10–5 × Mw = 10–5 × 233 g L–1

Moles (n) = wt(g) / mw

Wt (g) = n × Mw

S = 2.33 × 10–3 gL–1

Therefore, the correct option is (d).

Question 4: Among the following, the INCORRECT statement is


a. No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers
b. The maximum number of electrons in the shell with a principal quantum number, n, is equal to n2+2
c. Electrons in an orbital must have opposite spin
d. In the ground state, atomic orbitals are filled in the order of their increasing energies

Answer: (b)

According to Pauli’s Exclusion Principle, no two e–s in the same atom can have identical values for all four of their quantum numbers.

Ex for He → 1s2
Solved KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper

1ste → n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 s = + 1 / 2

IInde → n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 s = – 1 / 2

(B) The Maximum number of electrons in the shell with principal quantum number ‘n’ is equal to 2n2

(C) Electron in an orbital must have opposite

Spin Example

(D) In ground state, atomic orbitals are filled in the order of their ↑ energy [see (n + l ) Rule)

1s > 2s > 2p > 3s……

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

Question 5: A container of volume 2.24 L can withstand a maximum pressure of 2 atm at 298 K before exploding. The maximum amount of nitrogen (in g) that can be safely put in this container at this temperature is closest to


a. 2.8
b. 5.6
c. 1.4
d. 4.2

Answer: (b)

Given

v = 2.24 L

T = 298 K

p = 2 atm

R = 0.0821 atm mol–1 k–1

from ideal gas equation Pv = nRT,

Moles of N2 = Pv / RT = [2 * 2.24] / [0.0821 * 298] = 0.1831 moles.

The molecular weight of N2 = 28 g mol–1

Moles = Weight / Molecular weight

Weight (g) = moles × Molecular Weight (g mol–1)

Wt of N2 = 0.1831 × 28 ≅ 5.6 g

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

a. K < Na < Li < H
b. Na < Li < K < H
c. Na < K < H < Li
d. H < Na < Li < K

x = +6

Let the oxidation number of Cl = x

ClO3– → x +(–2) × 3 = –1

x = + 5

Therefore, the correct option is (c).

c. 1.42 × 105

d. 9.97 × 105

Answer: (d)

KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper with Solutions Q17

Heat required (Q) = MsΔT + Heat of vaporization

= 103 × 2.44 [351.45 – 293.45] + 103(855)

= 103 [(2.44 × 58) +855]

= 103 [996.52]

so, Q= 9.97 × 105 J

Therefore, the correct option is (d).

Question 18: A solution of 20.2 of 1, 2-dibromopropane in MeOH upon heating with excess Zn produces 3.58 g of an unsaturated compound X. The yield (%) of X is closest to [Atomic weight of Br is 80]


a. 18
b. 85
c. 89
d. 30

Answer: (b)

The reaction of Zn with 1, 2 dibromo propane in MeOH follow as

KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper with Solutions Q18

Here 1 mol. Reactant give one mole product

→ M. wt of Reactant (1, 2 dibromo propane) = 202 g mol–1

→ wt of Reactant = 20.2 g

→ Mw of product = 42 g mol–1

wt of product = 3.58 g

We know moles = wt of substance / Mw of substance

Obtain moles of product = 3.58 / 42 = 0.085 moles

Moles of Reactant = 20.2 / 202 = 0.1 moles

→ Now according to equation theoretically,

Mole of Product = moles of Reactant = 0.1 moles

% yield = [(obtain Moles)/(theoretical moles)] * 100

= [0.085 / 0.1] * 100

= 85%

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

Question 19: The lower stability of ethyl anion compared to methyl anion and the higher stability of ethyl radical compared to the methyl radical, respectively, are due to

b. –I effect of the methyl group in ethyl anion and σ → σ conjugation in ethyl radical
c. +I effect of the methyl group in both cases
d. +I effect of the methyl group in ethyl anion and σ → σ conjugation in ethyl radical

Answer: (a)

(1)

KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper with Solutions Q19

In ethyl anion, methyl groups have + I effect which ↑ the e density on carbanion and decrease the stability.

(2)

KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper with answers Q19

Due to σ – p orbital conjugation (Hyperconjugation), it is more stable compared to CH3 radical.

A number of α H ↑ stability of Radical ↑. Because of the number of hyperconjugation structure ↑ and energy of the molecule ↓.

Therefore, the correct option is (a).

Question 20: The F – Br-F bond angles in BrF5 and the Cl – P – Cl bond angles in PCl5, respectively, are


a. identical in BrF5 but non-identical in PCl5

b. identical in BrF5 and identical in PCl5

c. non-identical in BrF5 but identical in PCl5

d. non-identical in BrF5 and non-identical in PCl5

Answer: (d)

(1) BrF5 → [7 + 5] / 2 = 6 → sp3d2 Hybridisation

n → lp + Bp

6 = 5 + lp

lp = 1

KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper with Solutions Q20

Hence the shape of BrF5 is square pyramidal.

Hence here [F– Br – F] bond angle is non-identicals.

(2) PCl5 → [5 + 5] / 2 = 5→ Sp3d

[lp = n – BP = 5 – 5 = 0]

KVPY-SA 2018 Chemistry Paper with answers Q20

Hence the shape is Trigonal bipyramidal.

→ (Cl – P – Cl) bond angle 120° & 90°.

So, here (Cl–P–Cl) bond angle is not identical.

Therefore, the correct option is (d).
