Molar mass of non-volatile solute (M2) = 60
Mass of solvent (water) w1 = 100 g
The molar mass of water M1 = 18
Let V.P. of pure water (p°) = 100 mm
VP. of solution (ps) = 100 – 25 = 75 mm

(b)

(i) In case of ice, the hydrogen bonding gives rise to the cage-like structure of water molecules in which each water molecule is tetrahedrally surrounded by four water molecules. The molecules are not so closely packed as they are in the liquid state. When ice melts, cage-like structure collapses, water molecules come closer. For the same mass of water, volume decreases and density increases, Thus, ice has a lower density than that of water.

(ii) When potassium carbonate undergoes hydrolysis, it forms a strong base KOH and a weak acid H2CO3.
ISC Chemistry Question Paper 2010 Solved for Class 12 Q2.5
As the base produced (KOH) is strong, the resulting solution is alkaline. Therefore, the solution turns red litmus blue.
Potassium sulphate upon hydrolysis forms potassium hydroxide (strong base) and sulphuric acid (strong acid). As both acid and base produced are strong, the resulting solution is neutral and it has no effect on litmus paper.

(b) Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: [3]
C (graphite) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g)
Given that:
(i) C (graphite) + O2 (g) → CO2(g) ΔHf = -393.5 kJ mol-1
(ii) H2(g) + 0.5 O2(g) → H2O(l) ΔHf = -285.8 kJ mol-1

(ii) Compare the crystals of copper and diamond giving one similarity and one difference. [2]
(iii) If the standard free energy change for a reaction is found to be zero, what is the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction? [ 1 ]
Answer 4:
(a) According to Kohlrausch’s Law:
“The limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte (i.e., molar conductivity at infinite dilution) is the sum of the limiting ionic conductivities of the cation and anion, each multiplied with the number of ions present in one formula unit of the electrolyte.”
Mathematically,
\Lambda_{m}^{\circ} \text { for } \mathrm{A}_{x} \mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{y}}=x \lambda_{+}^{\circ}+y \lambda_{-}^{\mathrm{o}}
Where, \Lambda_{m}^{\circ} is the limiting molar conductivity of the electrolyte, \lambda_{\uparrow}^{0} \text { and } \lambda^{\circ} are the limiting molar conductivities of the cation (Ay+) and the anion (Bx-) respectively.

Question 5.
(a) How can ozone be manufactured by Siemen’s ozonizer? How is pure ozone recovered from the products? [3]
(b) Give balanced equations for each of the following reactions: [2]
(i) Chlorine and hot concentrated caustic soda.
(ii) Sulphur dioxide and acidified potassium permanganate.
Answer 5:
(a) When a silent electric discharge is passed through pure, cold and dry dioxygen taken is Siemen’s ozonizer (as shown in fig.), ozone is obtained. The percentage of ozone is about 10-15% and the rest is oxygen and the product obtained is called ozonized oxygen.
ISC Chemistry Question Paper 2010 Solved for Class 12 Q5
ISC Chemistry Question Paper 2010 Solved for Class 12 Q5.1
As the forward reaction is endothermic, therefore, silent electric discharge is used because it checks the rise in temperature and conversion of ozone back to O2.
To recover pure ozone, the ozonized oxygen obtained by the method described is surrounded by liquefied air. Ozone condenses and is separated. It may still contain a small amount of oxygen which is separated by fractional distillation.

Question 7.
(a) Account for the following: [3]
(i) SF6 exists but OF6 does not, though both oxygen and sulphur belong to the same group in the Periodic table.
(ii) Zn2+ compounds are white in colour but Cu2+ compounds are coloured, though both zinc and copper are d-block elements.
(b)

(i) To which class of compounds does IF7 belong? What is the structure of the molecule? [1]
(ii) Give the balanced equation for the preparation of silver nitrate in the laboratory. [1]
Answer 7:
(a)

(i) SF6 exists but OF6 does not because oxygen does not has vacant d-orbitals in the valence shell. Electrons are oxygen cannot be excited to higher levels to six unpaired electrons. In ‘S’ it is possible to do so as it has vacant d-orbital.
ISC Chemistry Question Paper 2010 Solved for Class 12 Q7
(ii) Zn2+ has no unpaired electrons but Cu2+ has one unpaired electron in 3d subshell. As a result compounds of Cu2+ are coloured and those of Zn2+ is white.

(b)

(i) IF7 belongs to the category of interhalogen compounds. This molecule has pentagonal bipyramidal geometry.

B gives a silver mirror with Tollen’s reagent and reduces acidified potassium permanganate solution. Identify A and B and give the reaction of B with acidified KMnO4 solution. [2]
Answer 10:
(a)

(i) Thermoplastics are linear polymers which can be repeatedly softened on heating and hardened on cooling and hence can be used again and again without any change in chemical composition e.g., polythene, polypropene etc.
Thermosetting polymers, on the other hands, are permanently setting polymers. On heating in a mould, they get hardened and set and cannot be softened again. This is due to cross-linking between different polymer chains to give a three-dimensional network solid e.g., bakelite, melamine-formaldehyde polymer etc.
(ii) One example of fibrous protein is keratin in skin, hair, nails and wool.
The final product of hydrolysis of proteins is an amino acid.
ISC Chemistry Question Paper 2010 Solved for Class 12 Q10
When a protein in its native form is subjected to physical changes such as a change in temperature, pH etc. hydrogen bonds are broken. Due to cleavage of hydrogen bonds, the unfolding of protein molecule occurs and the protein loses its biological activity. This loss of biological activity is called denaturation.
