2 Electrolysis, or electrolytic refining, is a technique used for extraction, as well as
6 purification, of metals obtained by any refining method.
Many metals, such as copper, zinc, tin, nickel, silver, gold etc. are refined by
electrolysis.
For example: In electrolytic refining of copper, the electrolyte is a solution of
acidified copper sulphate. The anode is impure copper, whereas the cathode is a strip
of pure copper.
On passing electricity, Impure copper from the anode dissolves and goes into
CUSO4 solution and pure copper from the copper sulphate solution deposits on the
cathode .

Thus pure copper metal is produced at cathode . The soluble impurities goes into the
solution whereas insoluble impurities settles down at anode as anode mud.

Chemical reaction :
At cathode : Cu²⁺ + 2e ---->Cu
 At anode : Cu - 2e---->Cu²⁺
OR
The ore is mixed with a dilute solution of sodium cyanide while air is bubbled
through it. The gold is oxidized and forms the soluble aurocyanide complex ion,
Au(CN) 2 −1. Gold is then precipitated by adding powdered zinc.

7 In SN2 reaction, attack of nucleophile takes place from backward direction.
Therefore, steric hindrance is one of the major factor in SN2. Since primary alkyl
halide is the least sterically hindered among primary,secondary and tertiary alkyl
halides. Therefore, Primary alkyl halides undergo SN2 mechanism.

Bezylic halide has more steric hindrance for nucleophilic attack,hence prefers to
undergo SN1

2 a) Molar mass of KI = 39 + 127 = 166 g mol-1

8
20% (mass/mass) aqueous solution of KI means 20 g of KI is present in 100 g of
solution.
That is,
20 g of KI is present in (100 - 20) g of water = 80 g of water
Therefore, molality of the solution
= moles of KI/mass of water in Kg = (20/166)/ 0.08
= 1.506 m
= 1.51 m (approximately)
(b) It is given that the density of the solution = 1.202 g mL?1
mass/ density =Volume of 100 g solution
100g/ 1.202 gml-1
= 83.19 mL
= 83.19 × 10-3 L
Therefore, molarity of the solution = (20/166) / 83.19 × 10-3 L
= 1.45 M
(c) Moles of KI
Moles of water = 80/18 = 4.44
Therefore, mole fraction of KI = moles of KI/ moles of KI + moles of water =
0.12/0.12 + 4.44
= 0.0263
 = 0.0263

Activation Energy.Tthe least possible amount of energy (minimum) which is

required to start a reaction or the amount of energy available in
a chemical system for a reaction to take place.
OR

Initial temperature, T1 = 298 K

Final temperature, T2 = 298 K + 10 K = 308 K

Knowing that the rate constant of a chemical reaction normally increases with
increase in temperature, we assume that,

Initial value of rate constant, k1 = k

Final value of rate constant, k2 = 2k

Using Arrhenius equation,

→ Equation 1

where, R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1 (gas constant).

Substituting all the values in equation 1, we get,

log 2 =

0 bring coagulation as per Hardy-Schulze rule.
b When a freshly prepared precipitate of Fe(OH)3 is shaken with a small amount of
FeCl3 solution, peptization occurs by converting the Fe(OH)3 precipitate into
colloidal solution of positively charged Fe(OH)3.

1 . Sulphur dioxide react with potassium permanganate and water to
produce sulphuric acid, manganese(II) sulphate and potassium sulphate.
The reaction takes place in a diluted solution sulphuric acid.
b This is because A-X bonds in interhalogens are weaker(ineffective orbital
overlap) than the X-X bonds in dihalogen molecules. Fluorine has low bond
dissociation enthalpy due to its small size and high interelectronic repulsions.
c Ozone acts as powerful oxidizing agent because it can easily decompose to give an
atom of nascent oxygen which is more reactive than oxygen.
O3 O2 + O (nascent oxygen) Since nascent oxygen is very reactive,
therefore, O3 acts as a powerful oxidising agent.

ii During the Iodoform chemical testing, a chemical compound will react only if it is a
methyl ketone.
On that note, the iodoform testing results will show you Pentan-2-one is a methyl
ketone and it responds to the chemical testing.
But, pentan-3-one is not a methyl ketone and it never responds to the iodoform test.
 b +I effect donates e- . Br group will show -I effect along the chain, but as

Electron-donating groups decrease the strengths of acids, while electron-
withdrawing groups increase the strengths of acids.

In the given compounds, the +I effect increases as shown above. It can be observed
that steric hindrance also increases in the same order.

Addition of HCl has occurred on ‘A’. This implies ‘A’ is an alkene.

Cl in compound ‘B’ is substituted by NH2 to give ‘C’.

‘C’ gives a diazonium salt with NaNO2/HCl that liberates N2 to give optically active
alcohol. This means that ‘C’ is an aliphatic amine. Number of carbon atoms in
amine is same as in compound ‘A’. Since products of ozonolysis of compound ‘A’
are CH3 — CH = O and O = CH—CH3. The compound ‘A’ is CH3—CH= CH—
CH3 On the basis of structure of ‘A’ reactions can be explained as follows :

B CuCl2 is more stable than Cu2Cl2. The stability of Cu2+ (aq.) rather than
Cu+(aq.) is due to the much more negative ΔhydHΘ of Cu2+ (aq.) than Cu+(aq.
I The actinoids exhibit more number of oxidation states in general than the
lanthanoids. This is because
(a) the 5f orbitals extend further from the nucleus than the 4f orbitals
(b) the 5f orbitals are more buried than the 4f orbitals
(c) comparable energy of ‘5f, 6d and 7s’ sub shells.
Ii 5f orbitals have a poorer shielding effect than 4f orbitals (in lanthanoids). Thus,
the effective nuclear charge experienced by electrons in valence shells in case
of actinoids is much more that than experienced by lanthanoids.
Iii 5f orbitals penetrate less into the inner core of electrons. The 5f electrons, will
therefore, be more effectively shielded from the nuclear charge than the 4f electrons
of the corresponding lanthanoids.
OR
A I 3MnO4(2-) + 4H+ –> MnO2 + 2MnO4(-) + 2H2O
II
B I i) In the case of a lower oxide of a transition metal, the metal atom has a low
oxidation state. This means that some of the valence electrons of the metal atom are
not involved in bonding. As a result, it can donate electrons and behave as a base.
 On the other hand, in the case of a higher oxide of a transition metal, the metal atom
has a high oxidation state. This means that the valence electrons are involved in
bonding and so, they are unavailable. There is also a high effective nuclear charge.
As a result, it can accept electrons and behave as an acid.
For example,Mn∥O is basic and Mn2 vii O7 is acidic.
II Oxygen and fluorine act as strong oxidising agents because of their high
electronegativities and small sizes. Hence, they bring out the highest oxidation states
from the transition metals. In other words, a transition metal exhibits higher
oxidation states in oxides and fluorides. For example, in OsF6 and V2O5, the
oxidation states of Os and V are +6 and +5 respectively.
II Oxygen is a strong oxidising agent due to its high electronegativity and small size.
I So, oxo-anions of a metal have the highest oxidation state. For example, in MnO-4,
the oxidation state of Mn is +7.
