Q27. (a)phenol, acetic acid ,benzoic acid, 2,4,6 trinitrophenol 1+1+
b) Electrophilic attack on the hydronium ion takes place which pronates the ethene 1
to form a carbocation.
2) In the second step, the carbocation is attacked by the water molecule
3) The deprotonation lastly generates the ethanol.
Q28. Deducing rate expression: - 1+1+
Consider experiments 1 and 2: 1
[B] = constant; [A] increases by 3; rate increases by 32 therefore 2nd order with
respect to A
Consider experiments 2 and 3:
[A] increases by 2; the rate should increase × 22 but only increases × 2.
Therefore, halving [B] halves rate and so 1st order with respect to B
Rate equation: rate = k[A]2 [B]

(iii) Correct explanation
(For visually challenged learner)
a) [Cr(en) 2(OH) 2]Cl
OR
a) i) Triammine chlorido nickel (II) nitrate
b.)No ionization isomers possible because the exchange of ligand with counter
ion is not possible.
c.) Central metal atom is electron acceptor so its Lewis acid.
Q30. . (a) Conductivity decreases with dilution because it depends upon the number of 1+1+
ions present in the solution. When dilution increases number of available ions 2
decreases. Hence, conductivity decreases.

(c) (i) correct reason

Q31. (a) The above given process is depicting the preparation of potassium dichromate. 3+2
The unknown compound ‘C’ is Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) Stepwise
chemical equations involved are as follows:
4FeCr2O4 + 16NaOH + 7O2 8Na2CrO4 + 2Fe2O3 + 8H2O (Comp A is Na2CrO4)
2Na2CrO4 + H2SO4 Na2Cr2O7 + Na2SO4 + H2O ( Compound B is Na2Cr2O7)
Na2Cr2O7 + 2KCl K2Cr2O7 + 2NaCl ( Compound C is K2Cr2O7
(b) Element J is expected to valence electrons in the 5f orbitals. The melting point
of the element J is the highest among the three. So, it is expected to belong to the 3
rd transition series with the valence electrons in 5f orbitals.
OR
i) Due to lanthanide contraction, size reduces. With the size reduction, the 5x1
covalent character increases. Therefore, Lu2O3 is more covalent than La2O3 .
(ii) Oxosalts contain oxygen as an anion. As the size of the cation reduces from La
to Lu, according to Fajan’s rules, the polarising power of the cation will increase,
and it will distort the cloud of oxygen(anion) significantly. Thus the bond
weakens, and the stability also reduces.
(iii)As the size of the central atom reduces, the stability of the complex increases.
A small metal ion with a greater charge attracts the ligands better.
(iv) In 5d block elements, the effective nuclear charge increases due to poor
shielding of f orbitals, thereby reducing the size. So, the radii of 4d and 5d block
elements end up being very similar.
(v) From La to Lu, the acidic character increases. As the size reduces from La to
Lu, the ability to lose electrons(Lewis base character) reduces, so the acidity
increases.
Q32. (a) (i) Solution of XY becomes warmer means .∆ H is -ve or it is exothermic 1+2+
2
therefore. this mixutre shows negative deviation.
(ii) ans ,w 5.55 gms
(iii) ans , Tb 273.80 K
OR
(b) (i) it forms azeotrope.
(ii) ans 4.89X 10 -3 atm
(iii) S8
Q33. (a) The reaction is: 1
1
(b) The given statement is not correct. Compound A is aniline. The presence of a
lone pair of electrons on the N-atom makes it a Lewis base. So, the pH of the aq.
solution of aniline is always more than 7. 1x2
(c) (i) introducing electron releasing groups like -OCH3 and -CH3
(ii) introducing electron withdrawing groups like -NO2 and –COOH
(d)Aniline reacts with bromine water at room temperature to give a white 1

1
(b) Benzendiazonium chloride is prepared by adding sodium nitrite to a mixture of
aniline in hydrochloric acid at 0 °C - 5 °C.
Benzenediazonium chloride is very unstable and therefore is prepared and used 1x2
immediately.
