8. Applying Le Chateliers principle, on decreasing the pressure, equilibrium shifts to the direction in which
pressure increases, i.e., number of moles of gaseous substances is more. Thus , moles of reaction products
will (a) increase (b) decrease.

CH2 . Due to the presence of a sp3 hybridized carbon, the system is not planar. It does

contain six -electrons cloud which surrounds all the atoms of the ring. Therefore, it is not an aromatic
compound.

(ii)

sp3

Due to the presence of a sp3-carbon, the system is not planar. Further, it contains only four

-electrons, therefore, the system is not aromatic because is does not contain planar cyclic cloud
having (4n + 2) -electrons. This system, however, behaves as a diene.

14. The average O.N. of S in S2O32 is +2 while in S4O62 it is + 25. The O.N. of S in SO42 is +6. Since Br2
is a stronger oxidizing agent than I2, it oxidizes S of S2O32 to a higher oxidation state of +6 and hence
forms SO42 ion. I2, however, being a weaker oxidizing agent oxidizes S of S2O32 ion to a lower oxidation
of +25 in S4O62 ion. It is because of this reason that thiosulphate reacts differently with Br2 and I2. 3

(b) Calculation of partial pressure of H2 in 1 L vessel
P1 = 08 bar,

P2 = ?
V2 = 10 L
As temperature remains constant, P1V1 = P2V2
(08 bar) (05 L) = P2(10 L) or P2 = 040 bar, i.e., pH = 040 bar

19. Excessive phytoplankton (organic pollutants like grass, roots, leaves, submerged plants etc.) present in
water is usually biodegradable. This organic matter is biologically decomposed by large population of
micro-organisms.
During the process of biodegradation micro-organisms consume excess of dissolved oxygen from the
lake. As a consequence, the vital level of dissolve oxygen in lake (10 ppm) reduced considerably wich is
fatal for aquatic life. When this level falls below 6 ppm. the fish cannot survive. Hence, they die and float
dead on the lake.

(b) Due to small size, the ionization enthalpies of Be and Mg are much higher than those of other alkaline
earth metals. Therefore, they need large amount of energy for excitation of their valence electrons to
higher energy levels. Since such a larger amount of energy is not available in Bunsen flame, therefore,
these metals do not impart any colour to the flame.

(ii) As we move down the group Atomic size increases.

The deviation is due to weak screening or shielding effect of d-orbital due to which atomic size
decreases and Ionisation energy increases.

Dominate over enthalpy factor. Such reaction are therefore, called entropy driven. This can happen in
either of the following two ways :
(a) S should be so large that even if T is low, TS should be greater than H.
1
(b) If S is small. T should be so large that TS > H.
1
(ii) In an ideal gas, there are no intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, no energy is required to
overcome these forces. Moreover, when a gas expands against vacuum, work done is zero (because
Pext = 0). Hence, internal energy of the system does not change, i.e., there is no absorption or
evolution of heat.
2
OR
(i) (a) Exothermic reactions are generally thermodynamically spontaneous because even if it is
accompanied by decrease of randomness (e.g., in the condensation of a gas or solidification of a
liquid), the heat released is absorbed by the surroundings so that the entropy of the surroundings
increases to such an extent that Stotal is positive.
1
(b) The molecules in the vapour state have greater freedom of movement and hence greater randomness
than those in the liquid state. Hence, entropy increases in going from liquid to vapour state
2
(ii) A substance has a perfectly ordered arrangement of its constituent particles only at absolute zero.
Hence, entropy is zero only at absolute zero. Enthalpy of formation is the heat change involved in the
formation of one mole of the substance from its elements. An element formed from itself means no
heat change, i.e., H = 0.

(b) CO2 is produced during combustion reactions. It is released into the atmosphere. However, if the
concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increases beyond a certain limit due to excessive combustion,
some CO2 will always remain unutilized. The excess CO2 absorbs heat radiated by the earth. Some of
it is dissipated into the atmosphere while the remaining part is redirected back towards earths surface
which heat up the atmosphere. As a result, temperature of the earth and other bodies on the earth
increases. This is called green house effect. As a result of green house effect, global warming occurs
which has serious consequences.

It has an empty 2p-orbital. F-atom has three
lone pairs of electrons in the 2p-orbitals. Because of similar sizes, p-p back
bonding occurs in which a lone pair of electrons is transferred from F to B. As
F
a result of this back bonding, BF bond acquires some double bond character.
In contrast, in [BF4] ion, B is sp3hybridized and hence does not an empty

F

F
in [BF4], BF is a purely single bond. Since double bonds are shorter than
single bonds, therefore, the BF bond length in BF3 is shorter (130 pm) than
BF bond length [143 pm] in [BF4].

(b) Structure of diboraneIn diborane, the four terminal hydrogen atoms and the two boron atoms lie

banana bonds (3-centre-2-electron bridge bonds).
