In the case of CH3COOH, which is a weak electrolyte, the No. of ions increase on
dilution due to an increase in degree of dissociation. In the case of strong electrolyte 1+1
the number of ions remains the same but the interionic attraction decreases.
Q18. R=K[A]n ---------------- (i) ½

Q19. 1+1

Q20. (a) Add NaHCO3 to each. Phenol will not react, benzoic acid will give brisk 1+1
effervesce due to CO2.
(b) Add I2 and NaOH. Ethanal will give yellow ppt. of iodoform, whereas 1-
Propanol will not give yellow ppt.

Q21. Deficiency of vitamin A leads to Xerophthalmia and night blindness, whereas 1+1
deficiency of vitamin C leads to scurvy and bleeding of gums. Carrot, fish liver oil,
butter and pulses are the sources of vitamin A whereas citrus fruits, amla and green
leafy vegetables are the sources of vitamin C.
SECTION-C
Q22. A=K2MnO4 B= KMnO4 1+1+1

On heating, 2KMnO4 → K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

Q23. (i) It is because ethers are not associated with intermolecular H- bonding, whereas 1
ethanol is associated with intermolecular H-bonding.
(i) (ii) In case of phenoxide ion, the negative charge is present on one 1 +1
electronegative oxygen atom and the lesser electronegative carbon atoms.
The contribution of resonance structures towards resonance stabilization of
phenoxide ion is less. In case of carboxylate ion, the negative charge is
present on two electronegative oxygen atoms.
The contribution of resonance structures towards resonance stabilization of
carboxylate ion is more. Hence, the carboxylate ion is more resonance stabilized
than the phenoxide ion. Due to this, carboxylate ion is more stable than phenoxide
ion. Higher stability leads to greater acidic strength.
(Correct resonance structures of phenoxide ion and carboxylate ion)

ii) Proper orientation of molecules
Q26. (a) 3,4,4-Trimethylpent-2-ene is the major product. 1+1+1
(b) In the first step, the ethanol or ethyl alcohol is reacted with hydrochloric acid in
the presence of zinc chloride as a catalyst to form chloro ethane and water. In the

Page 2 of 5
 second step, the chloro ethane is reacted with silver fluoride to form ethyl fluoride as
a product.

(c) The ionization of aqueous KOH produces hydroxide ions which are strong
nucleophiles. Hence, alkyl chlorides undergo substitution to form alcohol.
Alcoholic KOH solution gives alkoxide ion which is a strong base. It
abstracts β hydrogen atom of alkyl chloride. A molecule of HCl is eliminated and an
alkene is formed.

(c) CH3- CH2- CHOH + NaOH → CH3- CH2- CHONa

CH3- CH2- CHONa + CH3 -CH2 -CH2 Br → C2H5- O- CH2- C2H5 + NaBr
Q28. (a) In an aqueous medium, Cu2+ is more stable than Cu+. This is because although 1+1+1
energy is required to remove one electron from Cu+ to Cu2+, high hydration energy of
Cu2+ compensates for it. Therefore, ion in an aqueous solution is unstable. It
disproportionates to give Cu2+ and Cu.
2Cu+(aq)→Cu2+(aq)+Cu(s)
(b) The hydration or lattice energy is more than sufficient to remove the only electron
present in the d-orbital of these ions. The ions in d1 configuration tend to lose one
more electron togetintostabled0 configuration.
(c)The electrode potential values for Mn2+ /Mn is more negative than expected due to
greater stability of half-filled d-subshell (d5) in Mn.

(c) (i)In 2,2,6-Trimethylcyclohexane, there is stearic hindrance of three methyl

groups therefore, it does not form cyanohydrin in good yield as compared to
cyclohexanone which does not have stearic hindrance.
(ii) It does so that ester formed does not get hydrolysed to give acid and alcohol back.
It is done so as to shift equilibrium in forward direction.

(a) (i) Due to presence of zwitter ion amino acids react with acid and acid react with
1
amine thus they show amphoteric nature.
(ii) Amino acid exists as a dipolar ion. On electrolysis in acidic medium it changes to
positive ion so it migrates towards cathode while on electrolysis in basic medium it 1
changes to negative ion so it migrates towards anode. 1
