Question
The potential of each electrode is known as electrode potential. Standard electrode potential is the potential when concentration of each species taking part in electrode reaction is unity and the reaction is taking place at $298K$. By convention, the standard electrode potential of hydrogen $\text{(SHE)}$ is $0.0V$. The electrode potential value for each electrode process is a measure of relative tendency of the active species in the process to remain in the oxidised/ reduced form. The negative electrode potential means that the redox couple is stronger reducing agent than $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. A positive electrode potential means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. Metals which have higher positive value of standard reduction potential form the oxides of greater thermal stability. 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.
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  2. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  3. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
  4. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
  1. Assertion : An electrochemical cell can be set $-$ up only if the redox reaction is spontaneous.
Reason : A reaction is spontaneous if the free energy change is negative.
  1. Assertion : The standard electrode potential of hydrogen is $0.0V.$
Reason : It is by convention.
  1. Assertion : The more negative is the standard reduction potential, greater is its ability to displace $H_2 $ from acid.
Reason : Strength of reducing agent increases with the increase in negative value of the standard reduction potential.
  1. Assertion : The negative value of standard reduction potential means that reduction takes place on this electrode with reference to hydrogen electrode.
Reason : The standard electrode potential of a half cell has a fixed value.
  1. Assertion : The absolute value of electrode potential cannot be determined experimentally.
Reason : The electrode potential values are generally determined with respect to $\text{SHE}$.

  3. $(a)$ Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. More negative is the standard reduction potential, greater is its ability to displace hydrogen from acid.
  4. $(d)$ Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement. A negative value of standard reduction potential means that oxidation takes place on the electrode with reference to $\text{SHE}.$
  5. $(a)$ Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Amines are alkyl or aryl derivatives of ammonia formed by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms. Alkyl derivatives are called aliphatic amines and aryl derivatives are known as aromatic amines. The presence of aromatic amines can be identified by performing dye test. Aniline is the simplest example of aromatic amine. It undergoeselectrophilic substitution reactions in which $-\ce{NH_2}$ group strongly activates the aromatic ring through delocalisation of lone pair of electrons of $N-$atom. Aniline undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions. Ortho and para positions to the $-\ce{NH_2}$ group become centres of high electrons density. Thus, $-\ce{NH_2}$ group is ortho and para$-$directing and powerful activating group.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
To explain bonding in coordination compounds various theories were proposed. One of the important theory was valence bond theory. According to that, the central metal ion in the complex makes available a number of empty orbitals for the formation of coordination bonds with suitable ligands. The appropriate atomic orbitals of the metal hybridise to give a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry.
The $d-$orbitals involved in the hybridisation may be either inner $d-$orbitals i.e.$, (n - 1)d$ or outer $d-$orbitals i.e.$, nd.$
For example, $Co^{3+}$ forms both inner orbital and outer orbital complexes, with ammonia it forms $[\ce{Co(NH3)6]^{3+}}$ and with fluorine it forms $[\ce{CoF6]^{3-}}$ complex ion.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones and those compounds which on hydrolysis give such compounds are also carbohydrates. The carbohydrates which are not hydrolysed are called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides with aldehydic group are called aldose and those which free ketonic groups are called ketose. Carbohydrates are optically active. Number of optical isomers $= 2^n$ Where $n =$ numberofasymmetric carbons. Carbohydrates are mainlysynthesised by plants during photosynthesis. The monosaccharides give the characteristic reactions of alcohols and carbonyl group $($aldehydes and ketones$).$ It has been found that these monosaccharides exist in the form of cyclic structures. In cyctization, the $-OH$ groups $($generally $C_5$ or $C_4$ in aldohexoses and $C_5$ or $C_6$ in ketohexoses$)$ combine with the aldehyde or keto group.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The unique behaviour of $Cu,$ having a positive $E^\circ$ accounts for its inability to liberate $H_2$ from acids. Only oxidising acids $($nitric and hot concentrated sulphuric acid$)$ react with $Cu,$ the acids being reduced. The stability of the half$-$filled $(d^5)$ subshell in $Mn^{2+}$ and the completely filled $(d^{10})$ configuration in $Zn^{2+}$ are related to their $\text{E}^\circ\frac{\text{M}^{3+}}{\text{M}^{2+}}$ values. The low value for $Sc$ reflects the stability of $Sc^{3+}$ which has a noble gas configuration. The comparatively high value for $Mn$ shows that $Mn^{2+}(d^5)$ is particularly stable, whereas a comparatively low value for $Fe$ shows the extra stability of $Fe^{3+}(d^5)$. The comparatively low value for $V/s$ related to the stability of $v^{2+} ($half$-$filled $t_{2g}$ level$)$.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The aryl halides are relatively less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions as compared to alkyl halides. This low reactivity can be attributed to the following factors:
  • The $C - X$ bond in halobenzene has a partial double bond character due to involvement of halogen electrons in resonance with benzene ring.
  • The $C - X$ bond in aryl halides is less polar as compared to that in alkyl halides as $sp^2$ hyridised carbon is more electronegative than $sp^3$ hybridised carbon.

Reason: Chlorobenzene undergoes nucleophilic substitution by elimination-addition mechanism while $4-$nitrochlorobenzene undergoes nucleophilic substitution by addition$-$elimination mechanism.
  1. Assertion: Chlorobenzene is less reactive than benzene towards the electrophilic substitution reaction.
Reason: Resonance destabilises the carbocation.

Decrease in concentration of reactant or increase in concentration of product per unit time is called rate of reaction. lt is of two types :
  1. Instantaneous rate of reaction : Rate of change of concentration of reactant or product at a particular time is called instantaneous rate of reaction.
$\text{r}_\text{inst.}=\frac{\text{dC}}{\text{dt}}$
where$, dC =$ infinitely small change in concentration
$dt =$ infinitely small change in time.
  1. Average rate of reaction : Ratio of change in concentration and time required for the change is average rate of reaction.
$\text{r}_\text{av}=\frac{\triangle\text{x}}{\triangle\text{t}}=\frac{\text{Change in concentration}}{\text{Time required for the change}}$

Reason : The rate of reaction is represented by $\ce{k[RCl}].$
  1. Assertion : ln rate law, unlike in the expression for equilibrium constants, the exponents for concentrations do not necessarily match the stoichiometric coefficients.
Reason: It is the mechanism and not the balanced chemical equation for the overall change that governs the reaction rate.

Reason: The rate of disappearance of reactant will be $-\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{d[A]}}{\text{dt}}=-\frac{\text{d[B]}}{\text{dt}}$
