Reason: Eº should be positive for a spontaneous reaction.
Reason: A reaction is spontaneous if free energy change is negative.
Reason: The given cell is non-spontaneous.
Reason: Equilibrium of the cell reaction is attained.
Reason: Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode
Reason: In an ideal solution, solute-solute as well as solvent-solvent interactions are similar to solute-solvent interactions.
Reason: H-bonding between acetone and aniline is stronger than that between acetone-acetone and aniline-aniline.
Reason: The composition of the vapour phase is same as that of the liquid phase of an azeotropic mixture.
Reason: 68% nitric acid and 32% water by mass fonn maximum boiling azeotrope.
Reason: The interactions between the particles of the components of an ideal solution are almost identical as between particles in the liquids.
Reason: All naturally occurring CL-amino acids, except glycine, has at least one asymmetric carbon.
Reason: Amino acids contain asymmetric carbon atoms.
Reason: An egg contains a soluble globular protein called albumin which is present in the white part.
Reason: Out of 20 amino acids, only 12 amino acids can be synthesised by human body.
Reason: Sanger's reagent is used for the identification of N-tenninal amino acid of peptide chain.
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
In haloalkanes, when a nucleophile stronger than the halide ion approaches the positively charged carbon atom of an alkyl halide, the halogen atom along with its bonding electron pair gets displaced and a new bond with the carbon and the nucleophile is formed. These reactions are called nucleophilic substitution reactions.

In these reactions the atom or group of atoms which loses its bond from carbon and takes on an additional pair of electrons is called leaving group. Halide ions are good leaving groups. Some important nucleophilic substitution reactions ofhaloalkanes with common nucleophiles are given in the table below.
Reagent | Nucleophile (Nu-) | Substitution product R-Nu | Class of main product | |
1. | NaOH or KOH or moist Ag2O | -OH | ROH | Alcohol |
2. | H2O | H2O | ROH | Alcohol |
3. | Nal | I- | R – I | Alkyl iodide |
4. | R'NH2 | $\text{R'}\ddot{\text{N}}\text{H}_2$ | RNHR' | Sec. amine |
5. | KCN | $\overline{\text{C}}\equiv\text{N}:$ | RCN | Nitrile (cyanide) |
6. | KNO2 | O = N – O- | R – O – N = O | Alkvl nitrite |
In these questions (Q. No. i-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
Reason: RCI is hydrolysed to ROH easily but reactions slow down on addition of KI.
Reason: CH3CH21 reacts slowly with strong base as compared to CD3CH2I.
Reason: Silver nitrite (AgNO2) is an ionic compound, therefore the negative charge on nitrogen is the attacking site.
Reason: Vinyl group is electron donating group.
Reason: 1-Butene is less stable than 2-butene.
Carbonyl carbon is electron deficient hence acts as an electrophi le. Nucleophile attacks on the electrophili c carbon atom of the carbonyl group from a direction perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.
ln this process, hybridisation of carbon atom changes from sp2 to sp3 and a tetrahedral alkoxide ion is formed as intermediate. This intermediate captures proton from the reaction medium to give the neutral product. Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions. In these questions (Q. No. l-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices. Reason: The overall effect of -I and +R effect of phenyl group decreases the electron density on the carbon atom of >c=o group in benzaldehyde.
Reason: HSO3 is the nucleophile in bisulphite addition.
(I). CH3CHO(II) and CH3COCH3(III) is I > II > III.Reason: Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions.
Reason: Base generates CN- ion which is a stronger nucleophile.
is more reactive towards nucleophilic addition reaction than
.Reason: Reactivity of carbonyl group is due to electrophilic nature of carbonyl carbon.
Reason: At high concentration, migration ofions is slow.
Reason: Kohlrausch's law is applicable for strong electrolytes.
Reason: More number ofions are available per gram equivalent at higher concentration.
Reason: On dilution, number of ions per millilitre decreases but total number ofions increases considerably.
Reason: Specific conductivity decreases with dilution whereas observed conductance increases with dilution.
In these questions (Q. No. i-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
Reason: Rate constant also doubles.
Assertion: For the first order reaction, half-life period is expressed as
Reason: The half-life time of a first order reaction is not always constant and it depends upon the initial concentration of reactants.
Reason: Acid only acts as a catalyst whereas alkali acts as one of the reactants.
Reason: Rate of reaction at any time depends upon the concentration of the reactant at that time.
Reason: For a first order reaction,
$\text{t}_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{0.693}{\text{k}},$ where k is rate constant.
