Q. 6. On the basis of their molecular shapes proteins are classified as :
(1) Fibrous proteins : The proteins in which the polypeptide chains lie parallel (side by side) to form fibre-like
structure, are called fibrous proteins. The polypeptide chains held together by hydrogen bonds and disulphide
bonds. These proteins are insoluble in water.
The fibrous proteins are tough and insoluble in water, and dilute acids or bases.
Examples : myocin (in muscles), keratin (in hair, nails, skin), fibroin (in silk), collagen (in tendons), etc.
(2) Globular proteins : The proteins have spherical shape. This shape results from coiling around of the
polypeptide chain of protein, and have intramolecular hydrogen bonding are called globular proteins.
They are soluble in water and dilute acids or bases.
Examples : Haemoglobin (in blood), albumin (in eggs), insulin (in pancreas), etc.
Q. 7.
Pseudo first order reaction : A reaction which has higher order true rate law but experimentally found to
behave as first order is called pseudo first order reaction.
Explanation : Consider an acid hydrolysis reaction of an ester like methyl acetate.
J CH3COOH(aq) CH3OH(aq)
H(aq)
CH3COOCH3(aq)H2O(l)
Since the reaction involves two substances, ester and water, it is a bimolecular reaction and the true rate law
should be,
Rate k [CH3COOCH3] [H2O]
Hence the reaction is expected to follow second order kinetics. However experimentally it is found that the
reaction follows first order kinetics.
This is because solvent water being in a large excess, its concentration remains constant. Hence,
[H2O] constant k
Rate k [CH3COOCH3] [H2O]
k [CH3COOCH3] k
k k [CH3COOCH3].

step which is a rate determining step i.e. R.D.S. The rate of hydrolysis reaction depends on the concentration
of CH3Br and OH which are present in the R.D.S. of the reaction.

Coordination compound : It consists of a central metal ion or atom surrounded by atoms, molecules or
anions called ligands by coordinate bonds, e.g. cisplatin Pt (NH3)2Cl2, [ Cu(NH3)4 ]SO4.

important role in number of processes occurring in plants and animals.

form are more stable, more effective and can be assimilated easily.

-hydrogen atom.
(4) When aldehydes or ketones containing – H atoms are warmed with a dilute base or dilute acid, two
molecules of them undergo self condensation to give -hydroxy aldehyde (aldol) or -hydroxy ketone
(ketol) respectively. The reaction is known as Aldol addition Reaction.
(5) In aldol condensation, the product is formed by the nucleophilic addition of -carbon atom of a second
molecule which gets attached to carbonyl carbon atom of the first molecule and -hydrogen atom of the
second molecule gets attached to carbonyl oxygen atom of the first molecule forming ( – OH) group to
give -hydroxy aldehyde or ketone.

Q. 29. Statement of Kohlrausch’s law : This states that at infinite dilution of the solution, each ion of an
(i)
electrolyte migrates independently of its co-ions and contributes independently to the total molar
conductivity of the electrolyte, irrespective of the nature of other ions present in the solution.
(ii) The applications of electrochemical series (or electromotive series) are as follows :
(1) Relative strength of oxidising agents in terms of E0red values : The E0red value is a measure of the
tendency of the species to be reduced i.e., to accept electrons and act as an oxidising agent. The species
mentioned on left hand side of the half reactions are oxidising agents.
The substances in the upper positions in the series and hence in the upper left side of the half reactions
have large positive E0red values hence are stronger oxidising agents. For example, F2, Ce4+, Au3+, etc.
As we move down the series, the oxidising power decreases. Hence from the position of the elements
in the electrochemical series, oxidising agents can be selected.
(2) Relative strength of reducing agents in terms of E0red values : The lower E0red value means lower
tendency to accept electrons but higher tendency to lose electrons. The tendency for reverse reaction or
oxidation increases as E0red becomes more negative and we move towards the lower side of the series.
For example, Li, K, Al, etc. are good reducing agents.
