Question 1: The H–N–H angle in ammonia is 107.6°, while the H–P–H angle in phosphine is 93.5°. Relative to phosphine, the p-character of the lone pair on ammonia is expected to be:

  1. a. Less
  2. b. More
  3. c. Same
  4. d. Cannot be predicted

Solution:

  1. Answer: a

    As % s-character increases, bond angle increases

    As % p-character increases, bond angle decreases.

    Therefore, p-character order will be: PH3 > NH3

    Therefore, the Bond angle order: PH3 < NH3

          There is no lone pair on ‘B’ atom of
          Sample Question Paper of WBJEE 2019 Chemistry
          , hence it is not nucleophilic site.

        Question 14: The charge carried by 1 millimole of Mn+ ions is 193 coulombs. The value of n is

        1. a. 1
        2. b. 2
        3. c. 3
        4. d. 4

        Solution:

        1. Answer: b

          Given: Charge on 1 millimole of Mn2+ ions = 193 C

          So, 193 = (nx96500)/1000

          Rearranging, n = (193 x 1000)/96500

          So,

          n = 2

        Solution:

        1. Answer: c

          Practice Question Paper of WBJEE 2019 Chemistry

        Question 16: Consider the following two first-order reactions occurring at 298 K with same initial concentration of A:

        (1) A →B: rate constant, k = 0.693 min–1

        (2) A →C: half – life, t1/2 = 0.693 min–1

        Choose the correct option:

        1. a. Reaction (1) is faster than Reaction (2).
        2. b. Reaction (1) is slower than Reaction (2).
        3. c. Both the reaction proceeds at the same rate.
        4. d. Since two different products are formed, rates cannot be compared.

        Solution:

        1. Answer: b

          For 1st order reaction

          Rate constant K = (0.693/t1/2) and Rate = K(A)’

          For (I) reaction K = 0.6930 minute–1

          For (II) reaction K =(0.693/t1/2) = (0.693/0.693) = 1 min–1

          Since given t½ = 0.693

          So, KI< KII

          Then, Rate I < Rate II

        Question 17: For the equilibrium

        \(H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons H_{2}O(g)\)
        , which of the following is correct?

        1. a. ΔG = 0, ΔH < 0, ΔS < 0
        2. b. ΔG < 0, ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0
        3. c. ΔG > 0, ΔH = 0, ΔS > 0
        4. d. ΔG = 0, ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0

        Solution:

        1. Answer: d

          For equilibrium

          \(H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons H_{2}O(g)\)

          ΔG = 0 Since equilibrium

          ΔH > 0 (+ve), for T =ΔH/ΔS the process will be spontaneous above the temperature of T

          ΔS > 0 (+ve)

        Question 18: For a Vander Waal’s gas, the term (ab/v2) represents some

        1. a. Pressure
        2. b. Energy
        3. c. Critical density
        4. d. Molar mass

        Solution:

        1. Answer: b

          Vander Waal’s equation is given as:

          \(\left[{P}\left(1+\frac{{an}^{2}}{{V}^{2}}\right)\right]({V}-{nh})={nRT}\)

          (ab/v2) represent energy by dimensional analysis.

          Unit of a (Vander Waal’s constant) = atm.l2/mole2

          Unit of b (Vander Waal’s constant) = l/mole

          \(\frac{a b}{v^{2}}=\frac{\frac{a \operatorname{tm} \ell^{2}}{m o l e^{2}} \times \frac{\ell}{m o l e}}{\ell^{2} / m o l e^{2}}=\frac{a t m \ell}{m o l e}\)

        Question 19: In the equilibrium

        \(H_{2}+I_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2HI\)

        2. b. Decrease
        3. c. Remain the same
        4. d. Cannot be predicted with certainty

        Solution:

        1. Answer: c

          Equilibrium constant doesn’t depend on the molar concentration of reactants. It is only affected by the change in temperature.

          So, reaction carried out on anode, which has high SOP value.

        Question 21: Which one of the following electronic arrangements is absurd?

        1. a. n = 3, l = 1, m = –1
        2. b. n = 3, l = 0, m = 0
        3. c. n = 2, l = 0, m = –1
        4. d. n = 2, l = 1, m = 0

        Solution:

        1. Answer: c

          Quantum number set n = 2, l = 0, m = –1 is not possible (not valid) since value of m ≤ +l to –l.

        Question 22: The quantity hv/kB corresponds to

        1. a. Wavelength
        2. b. Velocity
        3. c. Temperature
        4. d. Angular momentum

        Solution:

        1. Answer: c

          hv/kB = (3/2)T (it represents temperature)

        Question 23: In the crystalline solid MSO4.nH2O of molar mass 250 g mol–1, the percentage of anhydrous salt is 64 by weight. The value of n is

        1. a. 2
        2. b. 3
        3. c. 5
        4. d. 7

        Solution:

        1. Answer: c

          Mass of anhydrous MSO4 salt = 250 × (64/100) = 160 gm/mole

          The total mass of H2O is MSO4.nH2O

          = 250 – 160 = 90 gm/mole

          So value of n = (90/18) = 5

        Question 24: At S.T.P., the volume of 7.5 g of a gas is 5.6 L. The gas is

        1. a. NO
        2. b. N2O
        3. c. CO
        4. d. CO2

        Solution:

        1. Answer: a

          (A) For finding which gas is it, we have to find molar mass.

          Since, At STP weight of 5.6 L gas = 7.5 gm (given)

          At STP weight of 22.4 L gas =(7.5/5.6) × 22.4 = 30 gm/mole

          And we know, molar mass of NO is 30 gm/mole

          So answer (A).

        Question 25: The half-life period of 53I125 is 60 days. The radioactivity after 180 days will be

        1. a. 25 %
        2. b. 12.5 %
        3. c. 33.3 %
        4. d. 3.0 %

        Solution:

        1. Answer: b

          t 1/2 = 60 days (given)

          Radioactivity after t time Nt = N0/(2n) … (1)

          & we know, n = t/t 1/2

          So,n = (180/60) ; n = 3

          Putting value of n in eq. (1)

          Nt = N0/(23) = N0/8 = 0.125 N0

          So, radioactivity after 180 days = 12.5 %

        Question 26: Consider the radioactive disintegration

        3. c. i < iii < ii
        4. d. ii < i < iii

        Solution:

        1. Answer: b

          According to covalent character

          Melting points ∝1/ covalent character

          Melting points HgCl2 = 276°C

          BeCl2 = 399°C

          CaCl2 = 775°C

          Melting point order = HgCl2< BeCl2< CaCl2

                Answer Paper of WBJEE 2019 Chemistry

              Question 39: Compounds with spin-only magnetic moment equivalent to five unpaired electrons are:

              1. a. K4[Mn(CN)6]
              2. b. [Fe(H2O)6]Cl3
              3. c. K3[FeF6]
              4. d. K4[MnF6]

              Solution:

              1. Answer: (b,c,d)

                (A) In K4[Mn(CN)6], Mn has +20.5 and Mn2+ = [Ar] 3d54s0, and CN– is a strong field ligand pairing takes place and the complex has only one unpaired electron.

                (B) In [Fe(H2O)6]Cl3, Fe has +30.5 and Fe 3+ = [Ar]3d54s0, the number of unpaired electron = 5. (H2O is a weak field ligand thus no pairing)

                (C) In K3[FeF6], Fe has +30.5 and Fe3+ = [Ar]3d54s0, thus number of unpaired electron = 5. (F– is a weak field ligand thus no pairing).

                (D)In K4[MnF6], Mn has 0.5 of +2 thus Mn 2+ = [Ar]3d54s0 is number of unpaired electron = 5.

                F– is a weak field ligand thus no pairing.

              Question 40: Which of the following chemical may be used to identify three unlabelled beakers containing conc. NaOH, conc. H2SO4 and water?

              1. a. NH4NO3
              2. b. NaCl
              3. c. (NH4)2CO3
              4. d. HCOONa

              Solution:

              1. Answer: (a,c)

                (A)NH4NO3 will evolve NH3, pungent smelling gas with NaOH, NO2 brown gas with conc. H2SO4 and no reaction in water, thus NH4NO3 can label all three beakers.

                Answer Paper of Chemistry WBJEE 2019

                (C) (NH4)2CO3 will evolve NH3 pungent-smelling gas with NaOH, effervescence of CO2 with conc. H2SO4 and no reaction with water, thus (NH4)2CO3 can label all three beakers.
