      Answer: A

    3. For the following reactions,

    Shift 2 Chemistry JEE Main 2020 Paper With Solutions

    ks and ke are respectively the rate constants for substitution and elimination, and μ = ks/ke, the correct option is

    1. a. μA > μB and ke(A) > ke(B)
    2. b. μB > μA and ke(A) > ke(B)
    3. c. μA > μB and ke(B) > ke(A)
    4. d. μB > μA and ke(B) > ke(A)

    Solution:

    1. The base CH3 CH20- favours substitution reaction over elimination reaction and thus ?(A) <ks(?).

      Since the bulkier base tertiary butoxide (B) favours elimination reaction over substitution reaction, ? (B) is higher. Since μ = ks/ke , μA will be greater as it is having lower ?? value.

      1. λ0mNaI - λ0mNaBr = λ0mNaBr - λ0mKBr

        [λ0m Na+ + λ0m I-] - [λ0m Na+ + λ0m Br-] = [λ0m Na+ + λ0m Br-] - [λ0m K+ +λ 0m Br-]

        λ0m I- - λ0m Br- ≠ λ0m Na+ - λ0m K+

        Answer: a

      11. In the following reactions, product (A) and (B), respectively, are:

      NaOH + Cl2 -> (A) + side products (hot & conc.)

      Ca(OH)2+ Cl2 -> (B) + side products (dry)

      1. a. NaClO3 and Ca(ClO3)2

      12. Two open beakers one containing a solvent and the other containing a mixture of that solvent with a non-volatile solute are together sealed in a container. Over time:

      1. a. the volume of the solution and the solvent does not change
      2. b. the volume of the solution increases and the volume of the solvent decreases
      3. c. the volume of the solution decreases and the volume of the solvent increases
      4. d. the volume of the solution does not change and the volume of the solvent decreases

      Solution:

      1. Consider beaker I contains the solvent and beaker 2 contains the solution. Let the vapour pressure of the beaker I be Po and the vapour pressure of beaker II be Ps . According to Raoult’s law, the vapour pressure of the solvent (Po ) is greater than the vapour pressure of the solution (Ps )

        (Po > Ps)

        Due to a higher vapour pressure, the solvent flows into the solution. So volume of beaker II would increase. In a closed beaker, both the liquids on attaining equilibrium with the vapour phase will end up having the same vapour pressure. Beaker II attains equilibrium at a lower vapour pressure and so in its case, condensation will occur so as to negate the increased vapour pressure from beaker I, which results in an increase in its volume.

        On the contrary, since particles are condensing from the vapour phase in beaker II, the vapour pressure will decrease. Since beaker I at equilibrium attains a higher vapour pressure evaporation will be favoured more so as to compensate for the decreased vapour pressure, as mentioned in the previous statement.

        Answer: b

      4. d. zone refining

      Solution:

      1. Liquation is the process of refining a metal with a low melting point containing impurities of high melting point.

        Answer: c

      Chemistry JEE Main 2020 Solved Paper Shift 2

      Root mean square speed (Vrms); most probable speed (Vmps); average speed (Vav)

      1. a. A = Vmps, B = Vav, C = Vrms
      2. b. A = Vmps, B = Vrms, C = Vav
      3. c. A = Vav, B = Vrms, C = Vmps
      4. d. A = Vrms, B = Vmps, C = Vav

      Solution:

      1. CRMS = √(3RT/M)

        CAverage = √(8RT/M)

        CMPS = √(2RT/M)

        √3 > √(8/) > √2

        CRMS > CAverage > CMPS

        Answer:a

      17. For the reaction,

      2H2(g) + 2NO(g) -> N2(g) + 2H2O(g)

      The observed rate expression is, rate = kf[NO]2[H2]. The rate expression for the reverse reaction is:

      1. a. kb[N2][H2O]2
      2. b. kb[N2][H2O]
      3. c. kb[N2][H2O]2/[H2]
      4. d. kb[N2][H2O]2/[NO]

      Solution:

      1. The reverse reaction is:

        2H2(g) + 2NO(g) ⇌ N2(g) + 2H2O(g)

        The equilibrium constant,

        Kc = kf/kb =

        \(\frac{[N_{2}][H_{2}O]^{2}}{[H_{2}]^{2}[NO]^{2}}\)

        At equilibrium, rate of forward reaction = rate of backward reaction

        i.e., kf[NO]2[H2] = kb[N2][H2O]2/[H2]

        Hence, rate of reverse reaction =

        \(k_{b}\frac{[N_{2}][H_{2}O]^{2}}{[H_{2}]}\)

      18. Within each pair of elements F & Cl, S & Se and Li & Na, respectively, the elements that release more energy upon an electron gain are:

      1. a. Cl, Se and Na
      2. b. Cl, S and Li
      3. c. F, S and Li
      4. d. F, Se and Na

      Solution:

      1. Element

        First Electron gain enthalpy(kJ/mol)

        Li

        -60

        Na

        -53

        F

        -320

        S

        -200

        Cl

        -340

        Se

        -195

        Despite F being more electronegative than Cl, due to the small size of F, Cl would have a more negative value of electron gain enthalpy because of inter-electronic repulsions.

        As we go down the group, the negative electron gain enthalpy decreases.

        Answer: b

      19. Among the following statements A-D, the incorrect ones are:

      A. Octahedral Co(III) complexes with strong field ligands have high magnetic moments

      B. When Δo < P, the d- electron configuration of Co(III) in an octahedral complex is t42g , e2g

      C. Wavelength of light absorbed by [Co(en)3]3+is lower than that of [CoF6]3−.

      D. If the Δ0 for an octahedral complex of Co(III) is 18000 cm−1, the Δt for its tetrahedral complex with the same ligand will be16000 cm−1 .

      1. a. B and C only
      2. b. A and B only
      3. c. A and D only
      4. d. C and D only

      Solution:

      1. Co3+ has d6 electronic configuration. In the presence of strong field ligand, Δo > P. Thus the splitting occurs as: t62g , e0g; so the magnetic moment is zero.

        According to the spectrochemical series, en is a stronger ligand than F and therefore promotes pairing. This implies that the Δo of en is more than the Δo of F.

        Δo = hc/abs

        Δt = (4/9) Δ0

        = 8000 cm-1
