Question 2.
(a)
(i) A solution of urea in water has a boiling point of 100.18°C. Calculate the freezing point of the solution. (Kf for water is 1.86 K kg mol-1 and for water is 0.512 K kg mol-1). [2]
(ii) A solution of lactose-containing 8.45 g of lactose in 100 g of water has a vapour pressure of 4.559 mm of Hg at 0°C. If the vapour pressure of pure water is 4.579 mm of Hg, calculate the molecular weight of lactose. [3]
(b)
(i) The molecular weight of H2S is more than that of H2O, but H2S is a gas and H2O is a liquid. Explain. [2]
(ii) When potassium cyanide reacts with water, will the resulting solution be acidic, alkaline or neutral? Justify your answer. [2]
(c) What is the hybridization of the carbon atom in ethyne molecule? What is the H-C-H bond angle? [1]
Answer 2:
(a)
(i) Kb = 0.512 K kg mol-1
Kf = 1.86 K kg mol-1
ΔTb = 100.18° – 100° = 0.18
ΔT = Kb × molality
molality = 0.18/0.512
Now, ΔTf = Kf × molality
Freezing point of solutions = 0 – 0.6539 = -0.6539
(ii) Weight of lactose w = 8.45 g
Weight of water W = 100 g
Vapour pressure of pure water (p°) = 4.579 mm of Hg
Vapour pressure of solution (ps) = 4.559 mm of Hg
Now, according to Raoult’s’ law
The molecular mass of lactose is 348.
(b)
(ii) KCN is a salt of a strong base and weak acid. It undergoes hydrolysis when dissolved in water to form weak acid HCN and strong base KOH.
HCN is a weak acid because it gives less H+ ions in the solution while KOH is strong electrolyte and remains completely dissociated. Therefore, the resulting solution contains more OH– ions and it is therefore alkaline.
Question 3.
(a)
(i) State the second law of thermodynamics in terms of the entropy of the universe. [1]
(ii) Calculate the maximum work that can be obtained from the given electrochemical cell constructed with two metals M and N. [3 ]
(b)
(i) To precipitate group III cations NH4Cl should be added to the solution before the addition of ammonium hydroxide. Explain why. [2]

Find:
(1) The order of reaction with respect to A.
(2) The order of reaction with respect to B.
(3) The rate law.
(c)
(i) What are F- centres in an ionic crystal?
(ii) Why are crystals having F-centres paramagnetic?
Answer 3:
(a)
(ii) According to given cell reaction
(b)
(i) To precipitate group III cations as hydroxides, a low cone, of OH– is required because solubility products of group III hydroxides are low as compared to the hydroxides of higher groups. Presence of NH4Cl which is a strong electrolyte suppresses dissociation of weak electrolyte NH4OH by common ion effect and decreases OH– ion concentration considerably.
(c)
(i) F-centres: These are the anionic vacancies occupied by electrons. In ionic compounds having non-stoichiometric defects. These electrons remain delocalised and are responsible for imparting colours to crystals.
(ii) Due to presence of free impaired electrons occupying anionic vacancies a magnetic moment results by the spin of electron in a particular direction. The ionic crystals with F-centres, therefore, show paramagnetic behaviour.
Question 4.
(a)
(i) The central atom of methane and water is in the same state of hybridization, but the shapes of the two molecules are different. Discuss. [2]
