17 We know, ΔG° = -nF E°cell 2
Given : E°cell = 1.1 volt
∴ ΔG° = -2 × 96500 C mol-1 × 1.1 volt
= -212300 CV mol-1
= -212300 J mol-1 = -212.3 KJ mol-1

19 The SN2 reactions reactivity depends upon steric hindrance. More the steric hindrance 1+1
slower the reaction. Thus the order of reactivity will be 1°> 2° >3°
i. Hence, the given set of compounds can be arranged in the increasing order of their
reactivity towards SN2 displacement as:
2-Bromo-2-methylbutane < 2-Bromo-3-methylbutane < 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane
ii. 1-Bromo-2, 2-dimethylpropane < 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane < 1-Bromo-3-
methylbutane < 1-Bromobutane
OR
(i)
SN1 reaction proceeds via the formation of carbocation. The alkyl halide (I) is 3°
while (II) is 2°. Therefore, (I) forms 3° carbocation while (II) forms 2° carbocation.
Greater the stability of the carbocation, faster is the rate of SN1 reaction. Since 3°
carbocation is more stable than 2° carbocation. (I), i.e. 2−chloro-2-methylpropane,
undergoes faster SN1 reaction than (II) i.e., 3-chloropentane.
(ii)
The alkyl halide (I) is 2° while (II) is 1°. 2° carbocation is more stable than 1°
carbocation. Therefore, (I), 2−chloroheptane, undergoes faster SN1 reaction than (II),
1-chlorohexane.
20 (i) C6H5NH2 < NH3 < C6H5CH2NH2 < C2H5NH2 < (C2H5 )2NH 1+1
(ii) C6H5NH2 < C2H5NH2 < (C2H5)3N < (C2H5 )2NH
21 (i) When D-glucose is heated with HI for a long time, n-hexane is produced. 1+1
(ii) D-glucose is converted to D-gluconic acid when it is treated with Bromine water.

22 A lead storage battery is a secondary battery, meaning it can be recharged by passing current in the 1+1/2
opposite direction. The anode and cathode reactions, and overall reaction in a lead storage battery
are: +1/2+1
/2+1/2
o When a lead storage battery is charged, the reaction reverses.

24 (i) The oxidation numbers of the central atoms in 𝑽𝑶𝟐+, 𝑪𝒓𝟐𝑶𝟕 𝟐−& 𝑴𝒏𝑶𝟒− 1+1+1
are +5,+6 & +7 respectively. Oxidizing character increase with increasing
oxidation numbers. Hence the oxidizing power of oxyanions are in the order
𝑽𝑶𝟐+ < 𝑪𝒓𝟐𝑶𝟕 𝟐− < 𝑴𝒏𝑶𝟒−.
(ii) Mn2+ has the configuration [Ar]3d5. With highly symmetrical configuration, the removal of
third electron is very difficult. Therefore, third ionization enthalpy of the metal is exceptionally
high.
(iii) Cr2+ is stronger reducing agent than Fe2+ Reason: d 4 → d 3 occurs in case of Cr2+ to Cr3+ But d
6
→d 5 occurs in case of Fe2+ to Fe3+ In a medium(like water) d 3 is more stable as compared to d5
25 (i) 1+1+1
(ii) When ethyl chloride is treated with silver cyanide (AgCN), the main product is ethyl
isocyanide
C2H5Cl + AgCN → C2H5NC + AgCl
(iii) 2-bromopentane is treated with alcoholic KOH to form 2-pentene.
26 ( a) (i) Propanal and propanone 1+1+1
Tollen’s reagent test: Propanal being an aldehyde reduces Tollen’s reagent to silver mirror but
propanone being a ketone does not.
CH3CH2CHO + 2[Ag(NH3)2]+ + 3OH— → CH3CH2 COO - + 2Ag(s) + 4NH3 + 2H2O
Propanal silver mirror
CH3COCH3 + Tollen'sreagent → No silver mirror
(ii) Benzaldehyde and acetophenone
Iodoform test: Acetophenone being a methyl ketone on treatment with I2/NaOH
Undergoes Iodoform reaction to give yellow ppt. of iodoform but benzaldehyde does not.
C6H5COCH3 + 3NaOI → C H3COONa - + CHI3
Acetophenone yellow ppt.
(b) Aldol condensation ∆

27 (a) Because –COOH group present in aromatic carboxylic acids is an electron withdrawing group 1+1+1
causing deactivation of benzene ring. This results in the bonding of anhyd. AlCl3 with carboxyl
group. Hence electrophillic substitution i.e. Friedel-Crafts reaction does not occur in aromatic
carboxylic acids.
(b) pKa value of 4-nitrobenzoic acid is lower than that of benzoic acid. pKa value of
4-nitrobenzoic acid (3.41) is lower than that of benzoic acid (4.19). Lower is the pKa value,
greater is the acid strength. The electron withdrawing nitro (−NO2) group increases the acidity of
benzoic acid.
(c) (CH3)2CH – CHO undergoes aldol condensation whereas (CH3)3C–CHO does
not. Aldol condensation occurs due to presence of α -hydrogen. As (CH3)2CH-CHO has one α -H
atom whereas CH33C-CHO does not have α - H atom. Thus CH33CH-CHO undergoes aldol
condensation whereas (CH3)3C–CHO does not

1. N-Ethylethanamine
2. Trimethylamine
3. (i) Hoffmann’s bromamide reaction: In this reaction, migration of an alkyl or aryl group
takes place from carbonyl carbon of the amide to the nitrogen atom. Therefore the amine so
formed has one carbon atom less than that of amide.
ii. Carbylamine reaction. This reaction is used to distinguish primary amines from 2° and 3°
amines as it is only given by 1° amines with the production of a very bad smelling organic
compound.
OR
(i) Higher the pKb value, lower will be the basicity therefore aniline is less basic than
methylamine because the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom gets delocalized over the
benzene ring are unavailable for protonation due to resonance in aniline which is absent in case
of alkylamine.
(ii) Due to presence of two H-atoms on N-atom of primary amines, they undergo extensive
intermolecular H-bonding while tertiary amines due to the absence of a H-atom on the N-atom,
do not undergo H- bonding. As a result, primary amines have higher boiling points than 3°
amines.

Molarity is dependent on temperature, while molality is not .

OR
a) (i) Elevation of boiling point; Addition of non-volatile solute the volatile solvent increases the
boiling point of the solvent. The increasing in boiling point is called elevation of boiling point.
(ii) Depression of freezing point; Addition of non-volatile solute the volatile solvent decreases the
melting point of the solvent. The decrease in freezing point is called Depression of freezing point.

OR
a. i) Phenol is more acidic than methanol because in phenol, phenoxide ion formed is more
stabilized by resonance than phenol. There is no resonance in methanol.
(ii) The C—O—H bond angle in alcohols is slightly less than tetrahedral angle due to repulsion
between the lone pairs of electrons of oxygen.
