Section-B
(Answer any 4 questions from 6 to 10. Each question carries 2 marks)
6. The last subshell of an element is 3p and there are 3 electrons in it.
(a) Write the complete electronic configuration of the element.
(b) Identify its period and group.
Answer: (a) 1s22s22p63s23p3 (Phosphorous)
(b) Period – 3, Group – 15
A neutral phosphorus atom has 15 electrons of which 2 electrons can go into the 1s subshell, 2 can go into the 2s subshell, and 6 can go into the 2p subshell. That leaves 5 electrons, of which 2 can go into the 3s subshell, and the remaining 3 electrons can go into the 3p subshell. Thus, the electron configuration of neutral phosphorus atoms is 1s22s22p63s23p3.
7. An iron nail is dipped in CuSO4 Solution. (Reactivity order Fe> Cu)
(a) What is the change that can be noticed on the iron nail after a while?
(b) Write down the chemical equation of the oxidation reaction occurs here?
Answer: (a) If you consider the reactivity series, you will find that iron is more reactive than copper. Hence, the displacement is possible between iron and the copper sulphate solution. Find below the chemical equation of the displacement reaction happening when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution:
Fe + CuSO4 (aq) == FeSO4 + Cu
Iron + Copper Sulphate (aq) == Iron sulphate + copper.
The blue colour of the copper sulphate solution is changed to the light green colour of iron sulphate. At the same time, the initial silver colour of the iron nail is also altered to reddish-brown colour caused by the coating of the copper metal on the nail.
(b) At the same time, the chemical equation of the oxidation reaction is given below:
Fe → Fe2++2e–
8. 4 g of NaOH is dissolved in water and the volume is made up to 1L.
(1 mole of NaOH= 40g)
(a)Calculate the molarity of the resultant solution.
(b) How will you make 1M solution of NaOH using the same amount (4 g) of NaOH?
Answer: (a) Molarity, M is given as equal to n/V
Hence, n= 4/40= 0.1
∴ M = 0.1 /1 = 0.1
Thus, Molarity= 0.1
(b) 1M solution of NaOH can thus be manufactured by dissolving 4g NaOH in 100ml of water.
9. Concentrated Cu2S is converted into oxide by roasting.
(a)Write the process of roasting.
(b)How impurities like sulphur and phosphorus are removed in this process?
Answer: (a) Roasting is the process of heating a concentrated ore in the presence of excess air at a temperature that is below its melting point.
(b) In this process, the impurities like sulphur and phosphorus are removed as their oxides.
During roasting, the sulfide is converted to an oxide and sulfur is released as a gas, sulfur dioxide.
2 Cu2S + 3 O2 → 2 Cu2O + 2 SO2.
4P + 5O2 ⎯→ 2P2O5↑
Phosphorus Phosphorus pentoxide
10. Ethanoic Acid is an organic compound having industrial values.
(a) How ethanoic acid is manufactured industrially?
(b) Give anyone use of ethanoic acid.
Answer: (a) Ethanoic acid is produced industrially by treating methanol with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst.
(Methanol) (Ethanoic Acid)
(b) Ethanoic acid is widely used in many industries. Commercially it is used in the manufacturing of esters, vinegar, and many polymeric materials. It is also used as a solvent in the production of camphor, ascent and as a cooking ingredient.

(Answer any 4 questions from 11 to 15. Each Question Carries 3 Marks)
11. H2(g) + I2(g) ⇋ 2HI(g)
(a) What is the total number of moles of reactants and products in the above reaction?
(b) What is the effect of pressure on this reversible reaction? Explain.
Answer: (a) No of moles of reactants – 2 moles of Hydrogen and 2 moles of Iodine
No of moles of product- 2 moles of Hydrogen Iodide.
(b) Pressure affects the position of a reaction of two gases if the number of molecules of the reactants is different from the number of molecules of the product. According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if the pressure is increased, it is going to move the equilibrium towards the side with fewer molecules (thus reducing the pressure), and vice versa.
H2(g) + I2(g) ⇋ 2HI(g)
However, in this reaction given above, two molecules on one side react to form two molecules of the product, so there is no effect of pressure in this reversible reaction.
12. The structure of hydrocarbon in given below:
(a)How many C- atoms are there in the main chain? Which is the word root? 1
(b) Identify the branch and its position number?
(c) Write the IUPAC name of this compound.
Answer: (a) No of C- atoms in the main chain is 4. Word root denotes the number of carbon atoms present in the principal or main chain (the longest possible continuous chain of carbon atoms, including the functional group and the multiple bonds) of an organic compound. Hence, the word root in the given structural formula is But.
(b) It is Ethane branch and its position number is 2.
(c) The IUPAC name of the compound is 2 Ethyl Butane.
13. The chemical equation for the manufacture of ammonia is N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2 NH 3(g)
(a) Complete the following: 1mol N2 + ….. H2 → NH3
(b) Calculate the amount of H2 required to react with 28g of N2 completely.
[Molecular mass of N2 = 28, H2 = 2]
(c) What will be the volume of NH3 formed at STP, if 22.4L of N2 is completely reacted?
Answer: (a) 1 mol N2 + 3 mol H2 🡪 2 mol NH3
(b) 28 g N2 is equal to 1 mol N2
1 mol of N2 requires 3 mol of H2
Hence, mass of H2 = 3 X 2g = 6g.
(c) Meanwhile, 22.4 L N2 is equal to 1 mol N2
1 mol N2 undergoes a reaction to produce 2 mol NH3.
Therefore, the volume of NH3 formed at STP = 2 x 22.4 = 44.8 L.

15. Alumina is mixed with Cryolite and subjected to electrolysis to extract aluminium.
(a) Why Cryolite is added to alumina?
(b)Which are the ions present in the alumina?
(c)Write the equation of the reduction reaction taking place at the negative electrode.
Answer: (a) Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point of more than 2000 ° C so melting it would be costly. Cryolite is added to alumina to increase its electrical conductivity and also to reduce its melting point. It also reduces the energy cost involved in extracting aluminium.
(b) Cation- Al3+ and Anion- O2-
(c) Negative electrode is also known as the cathode. Find below the equation of the reduction reaction taking place at the cathode:
Al3+Â +Â 3e–
  Al (aluminium metal at the [(-) cathode]

(Write any 4 questions from 16 to 20. Each question carries 4 marks.)
16. Zinc piece and zinc powder are taken in two test tubes and an equal amount of dil. HCl is added.
(a) In which test tube does the reaction proceed faster?
(b) Give reason.
(c) Give an instance in daily life, where such condition is made use.
Answer: (a) If the same amount of zinc powder is taken then the reaction in the test tube with zinc powder will be faster.
(b) When solid reactants are made into smaller pieces or powder, they take up a larger surface area. More reactant molecules come into contact and take part in collision thus increasing the number of effective collisions, as per the collision theory. Hence, the speed of the reaction also becomes faster.
(c) Now, for example, we can take the instance of a large piece of firewood that takes up a lot of time to burn slowly. However, when the firewood is cut into pieces the burning takes place rapidly.
