January 10 Shift 1 - Chemistry

1. Which of the following salts is the most basic in aqueous solution?

  1. 1) CH3COOK
  2. 2) FeCl3
  3. 3) Pb(CH3COO)2
  4. 4) Al(CN)3

Solution:

  1. CH3COOK + H2O -> CH3COOH + KOH (basic)

    FeCl3 - Acidic solution

    Al(CN)3 - Salt of weak acid and weak base

    Pb(CH3COO)2 - Salt of weak acid and weak base

    CH3COOK is salt of weak acid and strong base.

    Hence solution of CH3COOK is basic.

    Answer: (1)

2. Which of the following compounds will be suitable for Kjeldahl's method for nitrogen estimation?
Solved Paper Chemistry Set C JEE Main 2018

    Solution:

    1. Kjeldahl method is not applicable for compounds containing nitrogen in nitro, and azo groups and nitrogen in ring, as N of these compounds does not change to ammonium sulphate under these conditions. Hence only aniline can be used for estimation of nitrogen by Kjeldahl’s method.

      Answer: (1)

    3. Which of the following are Lewis acids?

    1. 1) AlCl3 and SiCl4
    2. 2) PH3 and SiCl4
    3. 3) BCl3 and AlCl3
    4. 4) PH3 and BCl3

    Solution:

    1. BCl3 - electron deficient, incomplete octet

      AlCl3 - electron deficient, incomplete octet

      SiCl4 can accept lone pair of electron in d-orbital of silicon hence it can act as Lewis acid.

      Although the most suitable answer is (3). However, both option (3) and (1) can be considered as correct answers.

      Colourless to pink

        Solution:

        1. The pH range of methyl orange is

          Solved Paper 2018 Set C JEE Main Chemistry

          Weak base is having pH greater than 7. When methyl orange is added to weak base solution, the solution becomes yellow. This solution is titrated by strong acid and at the end point pH will be less than 3.1. Therefore solution becomes pinkish red.

        3. 3) 5×10-19
        4. 4) 5×10-8

        Solution:

        1. \(H_{2}S\rightleftharpoons 2H^{+}+S^{2-}\)

          Ka1.Ka2 = Keq

          \(\frac{{[H^{+}]^{2}[S^{2-}]}}{[H_{2}S]} = 1\times 10^{-7}\times 1.2\times 10^{-13}\)

          \(\frac{{[0.2]^{2}[S^{2-}]}}{[0.1]} = 1.2\times 10^{-20}\)

        7. The combustion of benzene (l) gives CO2(g) and H2O (l). Given that heat of combustion of benzene at constant volume is -3263.9 kJ mol -1 at 250C ; heat of combustion (in kJ/mol) of benzene at constant pressure will be (R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1)

        1. 1) -452.46
        2. 2) 3260
        3. 3) -3267.6
        4. 4) 4152.6

        Solution:

        1. C6H6 (l) + (15/2)O2 (g) -> 6CO2 (g) + 3H2O (l)

          Δng = 6-(15/2)

          = -3/2

          ΔH = ΔU +ΔngRT

          = -3263.9 +(-3/2)×8.314×298×10-3

          = -3263.9 + (-3.71)

          = -3267.6 kJ mol-1

        9. How long (approximate) should water be electrolysed by passing through 100 amperes current so that the oxygen released can completely burn 27.66 g of diborane? (Atomic weight of B = 10.8 u)

        1. 1) 0.8 hours
        2. 2) 3.2 hours
        3. 3) 1.6 hours
        4. 4) 6.4 hours

        Solution:

        1. B2H6 +3O2 -> B2O3 +3H2O

          27.66 of B2H6 = 1 mole of B2H6 which requires three moles of oxygen (O2) for complete burning

          6H2O -> 6H2 +3O2 (On electrolysis)

          Number of faradays = 12 = amount of charge

          12×96500 = i×t

          12×96500 = 100×t

          t = 12×96500/100 sec

          t = 12×96500/(100×3600) hour

          t = 3.2 hours

              3. 3) A and D
              4. 4) A and B

              Solution:

              1. Equilibrium constant K =

                \((\frac{A_{f}}{A_{b}})e^{-\Delta H^{0}/RT}\)

                ln K = ln (Af/Ab) - (ΔH0/R)(1/T)

                comparing with equation of straight line,

                slope = -ΔH0/R

                Since, reaction is exothermic, ΔH0 = -ve, therefore,

                  0.5 = k[243.21]x ..(ii)

                  Divide equation (i) by (ii),

                  1/0.5 = (344.85/243.21)x

                  ⇒2 = 1.414x

                  ⇒ x = 2

                  Answer: (4)

                30. For 1 molal aqueous solution of the following compounds, which one will show the highest freezing point?

                1. 1) [Co(H2O)5Cl]Cl2. H2O
                2. 2) [Co(H2O)4Cl2 ]Cl. 2H2O
                3. 3) [Co(H2O)3Cl3]. 3H2O
                4. 4) [Co(H2O)6 ]Cl3

                Solution:

                1. The solution which shows maximum freezing point must have minimum number of solute particles.

                  (1) [Co(H2O)5Cl]Cl2. H2O ->[Co(H2O)5Cl]2+ +2Cl-, i = 3

                  (2) [Co(H2O)4Cl2 ]Cl. 2H2O -> [Co(H2O)4Cl2]+ +Cl-, i = 2

                  (3) [Co(H2O)3Cl3]. 3H2O -> [Co(H2O)3Cl3 ] , i = 1

                  (4) [Co(H2O)6 ]Cl3 -> [Co(H2O)6 ]3+ +3Cl- , i = 4

                  So, solution of 1 molal [Co(H2O)3Cl3]. 3H2O will have minimum number of particles in aqueous state.

                  Answer: (3)
