21 a) The enthalpies of atomization of a transition metal are high because they have a large 1 218
number of unpaired electrons resulting strong inter atomic metallic bonding.
b) Weak inter atomic metallic bonding due to absence of unpaired electron. 1
OR
a) In Comparison to Fe2+, Cr2+ is a stronger reducing agent because in formation of
1
Cr3+ from Cr2+ changes is from d4→d3. In d3 electronic configuration t2g orbitals
are half filled . But in Fe2+ to Fe3+ Changes is d6 to d5
b) Atomic number (Z)=27, it is Co with configuration 3d7,4s2

In Co2+, the configuration is 3d7. Now, Number of unpaired electrons =3
magnetic moment, μ=√n(n+2)= √3(3+2)=3.87 BM
22 a) It states that “the partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (p) is proportional to 1 46
the mole fraction of the gas (x) in the solution”.
b) Since number of paricles decreases, hence van't Hoff factor (i) will decrease and 1 58
freezing point of the solution will increase.
c) Molality is considered better for expressing the concentration as compared to 1 37
molarity because the molarity changes as volume of the solution changes with
temperature.

b) In [Ni(H2O)6] , water is a weak field ligand. Therefore, there are unpaired
electrons in Ni2+. In this complex, the d electrons from the lower energy level 1 259
can be excited to the higher energy level i.e., the possibility of d−d transition is
present. Hence, Ni(H2O)6]2+ is coloured.
In [Ni(CN)4]2−, the electrons are all paired as CN- is a strong field ligand.
Therefore, d-d transition is not possible in [Ni(CN)4]2−. Hence, it is colourless.

c) In haloarenes, NO2 group present at o/p position results in the stabilisation of
resulting carbanion by-R and - I effects and therefore increases the reactivity
of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions. 1 313

Bromopentane will be more reactive as it least crowded for an SN2 reaction. 1

b) Once the salt bridge is removed from the cell, the voltage drops to zero. No flow 1

31 a) i) The bonds between chloroform molecules and molecules of acetone are dipole-dipole 1 43,45,
dipole interactions but on mixing, the chloroform and acetone molecules, they 54
start forming hydrogen bonds which are stronger bonds resulting in the release
of energy.. This gives rise to an increase in temperature.
ii) To avoid bends, as welll as, the toxic effects of high concentrations of nitrogen 1
in the blood, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air diluted with
helium.
iii) The magnitude of osmotic pressure is large even for very dilute solution and it 1
can be measured at room temperature
temperature.(any other suitable reason)

ii)In beaker 3 the size of potato cube remains the same because of isotonic 1
solution which has the same concentration of solutes as that of potato cells. So
water is neither lost or gained by the potato cells.

and not by exchange of central metal ion.
d) In both [NiCl4]2− and [Ni(CN)4]2−,Ni is in +2 oxidation state with
configuration 3d8 and it contains two unpaired eelectrons. In [NiCl4]2− due to 1
presence of weak ligand Cl− no pairing takes place and hence it is paramagnetic
whereas in [Ni(CN)4]2−, CN− is a strong field ligand and pairing occurs and
hence it becomes diamagnetic.
e) [Co(NH3)6]Cl3>[Cr(NH3)5Cl]Cl2>[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl>[Co(NH3)3Cl3] 1
