31. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

Alkanes, like propane and isobutane become alkenes like propylene and isobutylene through a chemical process called
dehydrogenation, the removal of hydrogen, and the reverse of hydrogenation. The petrochemical industry often uses this
process to create aromatics and styrene. The process is highly endothermic and requires temperatures of 932 degrees F,
500 degrees C and above. Common dehydrogenation processes include aromatization, in which chemists aromatize
cyclohexene in the presence of hydrogenation acceptors using the elements sulfur and selenium, and the
dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles using a reagent like iodine pentafluoride. Dehydrogenation processes can also
convert saturated fats to unsaturated fats in the manufacturing of margarine and other foods. The chemical reactions
during dehydrogenation are possible at high temperatures because the release of hydrogen gas increases the collapse of

Class 11 - Chemistry

Sample Paper - 01 (2022-23)

Solution

Section A
1. (a) 2 m

Explanation: Since, 1 mm =  0.001 m

∴   2000 mm =  0.001 × 2000 =  2 m

2. (a) behaves like particles

Explanation: The emission of free electrons from a metal surface when light is shone on it is called the photoemission
or the photoelectric effect. This effect led to the conclusion that light is made up of packets or quantum of energy.
Einstein already associated the light quantum with momentum. This strongly supported the particle nature of light and
these particles were named photons. Thus, the wave-particle duality of light came into the picture. Einstein won the
Nobel Prize for Physics not for his work on relativity, but for explaining the photoelectric effect.
3. (b) 109

Explanation: un = 1

nil = 0

enn = 9

So, atomic number = 109

4. (b) None of these

Explanation: None of these

5. (d) only ii

Explanation: For spontaneous reaction ΔG = -ve

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔH = +ve, ΔS = +ve and TΔS > ΔH

6. (a) Shift in equilibrium position on changing value of a variable

Explanation: According to Le Chatelier's principle, if an equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, pressure

or temperature, etc. equilibrium shifts in such a way so as to undo the effect of a change imposed.
7. (b) Decreases

Explanation: Reduction happens when an element gains electrons; in this case, its oxidation number is lowered.

12. (d) synthetic rubber

Explanation:

Chloroprene readily polymerizes to a rubber-like substance known as neoprene.

13. (c) partition chromatography

Explanation: partition chromatography

14. (d) Geometric isomers

Explanation: Isomers which have the same structural formulae but differ in the relative spatial arrangements of atoms or
groups around the double bond are called geometric isomers. Thus geometrical isomers are a type of stereoisomers.
15. (c) A is true but R is false.

Explanation: Visible light when passed through a prism splits into seven colours, Violet (V), Indigo (I), Blue (B), Green
(G), Yellow (Y), Orange (O) and Red (R).

c
λ =
v

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related. Red colour with higher wavelength will have lower frequency.
16. (c) A is true but R is false.

Explanation: Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed. This is the statement of the law of conservation of mass.
Under similar conditions of temperature and pressure. An equal volume of gases contains an equal number of atoms.

As PV = nRT(Ideal gas equation) If, for I case, P1V1 = n1RT1

for II case, P2V2 = n2RT2

P1 V1 nRT1
⇒ =

P2 V2 n2 RT2

⇒  n1 = n2
17. (d) A is false but R is true.

Explanation: In an alkaline medium, the reduction of KMnO4 with KI will take place as

2KMnO4 + H2O → 2 KOH + 2 MnO2

KI + 3[O] → KIO3

Hence the overall reaction is

KI + 2KMnO4 + H2O → KIO3 + 2 KOH + 2 MnO2

So, one mole of KI will reduce two moles of KMnO4.

18. (d) A is false but R is true.

Explanation: NO- = 7 + 8 + 1 = 16e- whereas CN- = 6 + 7 + 1 = 14e-, So both are not isoelectronic.

22. In H2S, S belongs to group 16 has 6 valence electrons. It shares 1 valence electron with each H. Thus it has 2 bond
electron pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons. So it has bent shape instead of a linear shape due to lone pair-lone pair
replusions and lone pair-bond pair repulsions.

In PCl3, P belongs to group 15 has 5 valence electrons. It shares 1 valence electron with each of the 3 Cl atoms. Thus, it
has 3 bond pairs of electrons and 1 lone pair are present around the central atom. So it has trigonal pyramidal shape
instead of trigonal planar shape due to lone pair-bond pair replusions.
23. According to the question, energy has taken by a man = 10000 kJ

Also, change in internal energy per day = 12500 - 10000 = 2500 kJ

2000 g of sugar corresponds to energy = 

1632×2000
= 32640 kJ

Charecteristics of electrochemical series  :

The substances which are stronger reducing agents than hydrogen are placed above hydrogen in the series and
have negative values of standard electrode potentials.
All those substances which have positive values of reduction potentials and placed below hydrogen in the series
are weaker reducing agents.
The substances which  are stronger oxidising agents  than the H+ ion are placed below hydrogen  in the series .

allowed to cool undisturbed till crystallization is complete. The crystals are then separated from the mother liquor by
filtration and dried.

Example: crystallization of sugar.

b. Distillation: The operation of distillation is employed for the purification of liquids from non-volatile impurities. The
impure liquid is boiled in a flask and the vapours so formed are collected and condensed to give back the pure liquid
in another vessel. Simple organic liquids such as benzene toluene, xylene etc. can be purified by distillation.
c. Chromatography: Chromatography is based on the principle that different components of the mixture is differently
adsorbed on an adsorbent. The selective distribution of the components to a mixture between two phases, a stationary

phase and a moving phase. The stationary phase can be a solid or liquid, while the moving phase is a liquid or a gas.
When the stationary phase is solid the basis is adsorption and when it is a liquid the basis is partition.

Chromatography is for the separation of coloured substances such as plant pigments or dyestuffs.

Before neutralization,

[NH3 ] = 0.10 − x = 0.10

x2 / 0.10 = 1.77 × 10–5

Thus, x = 1.33 × 10–3 = [OH–]

Therefore,

[H+] = Kw/[OH-] = 10-14 / (1.33 × 10–3) = 7.51 × 10–12

pH = –log(7.5 × 10–12) = 11.12

On addition of 25 mL of 0.1M HCl solution (i.e., 2.5 mmol of HCl) to 50 mL of 0.1M ammonia solution (i.e., 5 mmol of
NH3), 2.5 mmol of ammonia molecules are neutralized. The resulting 75 mL solution contains the remaining

The value of the reaction quotient is smaller than the value of the equilibrium constant. 

Since the value of Qc is less than that of Kc (0.061), the reaction is not in a state of equilibrium. It will proceed in the
forward direction till Qc becomes the same as Kc.

i. There is no neutron present in hydrogen atom. It consists of only one proton.
ii. Given, 10-8 mol dm-3 solution of HCl.

iv. In trans-but-2-ene, the dipole moments of the two C—CH3 bonds are equal and opposite and therefore, they cancel
out each other.

Hence, trans-2-butene is non-polar.

v. The shape of s-orbital is spherically symmetrical i.e. it is non–directional in nature.
