Answer
Corrosion is a redox reaction. In this reaction, simultaneous oxidation and reduction
reactions takes place at cathode & anode.
Because of presence of air and moisture, oxidation takes place anode. The point
where oxidation takes place, it behaves as the anode.

Anode:
2
( aq )

Fe( s ) Fe

2e

Electrons released at the anodic position move through the metallic object and go to
another position of the object. Presence of H ions helps the electrons to reduce
molecular oxygen. This point behaves as the cathode. These H+ ions come either from
H2CO3, which are formed due to the dissolution of carbon dioxide from air into water
or from the dissolution of other acidic oxides from the atmosphere in water.

Cathode:
O2 g 4 H

Ferrous ions are further oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to ferric ions. These ferric
ions combine with moisture & forms hydrated ferric oxide i.e., rust.

11. Distinguish between 'rate expression' and 'rate constant of a reaction.


Answer
Rate expression: It is defined as the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants and
products. In this expression, the rate of reaction is in terms of the molar concentration
of the reactants, with each term raised to some power, which may or may not be the
stoichiometric coefficient of the reacting species in a balanced chemical equation.
Rate constant: It is defined as the rate of the reaction when the concentration of each
of the reactant is taken as unity.

12. State reasons for each of the following:


(i) The N O bond in NO2 is shorter than the N -O bond in NO3

Answer
(i) In NO2- the lone pair is delocalised between the two oxygen atoms. Hence bond
order equal to 1 + 1/2 = 3/2
Whereas in NO3 - lone pair shared between three O atoms hence bond order = 1 + 1/3
= 4/3
We know that, greater the bond order
shorter the bond. Thus, bond length of
NO2- less than that of NO3(ii) In SF6, the six fluoride atoms are
formed because of which it is very
difficult for a reagent to attack it. That
is why SF6 is kinetically an inert
substance.
OR
(i) In PCl5, there is trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In this structure, the two axial P
Cl bonds are longer than the three equatorial P Cl bonds. Thus, axial bonds are
less stable. This is because of the greater bond pair - bond pair repulsion in the
axial bonds. Hence, all the bonds in PCl5 are not equivalent.
(ii) S S bonds are stronger as compared to OO bonds. Thus, sulphur has a
greater tendency for catenation than oxygen.

13. Assign reasons for the following:


(i) Copper (I) ion is not known in aqueous solution.

(iii) Froth floatation process: The basic principle involved in this process is
adsorption
This process is used to remove gangue from sulphide ores. In this process, a mixture
of water and pine oil is taken in tank. The impure powdered sulphide ore is dropped in
through hopper and the compressed air is blown in through the agitator. The agitator
is rotated several times. As a result, froth is formed and the sulphide ores get adsorbed
in the froth. The impurities settled down and are let out through an outlet at the
bottom. The froth formed is collected in froth collector tank. After sometime, the ore

i.

Micelle: When, soaps and detergents dissolved in water, they form micelles. The
molecules of such substances contain a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic part. When
present in water, these substances arrange themselves in spherical structures in
such a manner that their hydrophobic parts are present towards the centre, while
the hydrophilic parts are pointing towards the outside. This structure is known as
micelle formation

ii.

Peptization: It is the process of conversion of a precipitate into a colloidal sol by


shaking it with the dispersion medium in the presence of an electrolyte. The
electrolyte used is known as a peptizing agent.

iii.

Desorption: It is the process of removing an adsorbed substance from the surface


through which it was adsorbed.

22. Describe the principle behind each of the following processes:


(i) Vapour phase refining of a metal.
(ii) Electrolytic refining of a metal.
(iii) Recovery of silver after silver ore was leached with NaCN.
Answer
(i)

Vapour phase refining of a metal:

It is the process of refining metal by converting it into its volatile compound and then,
decomposing it to obtain a pure metal. To carry out this process, metal should form a
volatile compound with an available reagent, and the volatile compound should be
easily decomposable so that the metal can be easily recovered.
(ii)
Electrolytic refining: In this process, impure metals are refined through the
use of electricity.
In this process, impure metal is made the anode and a strip of pure metal is made the
cathode. A solution of a soluble salt of the same metal is taken as the electrolyte.

th

Chemistry Class 12 Chemistry Solved Question Papers 2011

cbse.jagranjosh.com

Answer
1.
Polarity of Haloalkanes & organic solvents is quite less. Thus, they can easily
dissolve in organic solvents. The new forces of attraction set up between haloalkanes
and the solvent molecules are of same strength as the forces of attraction being
broken.
2.
Racemic mixture: A mixture of equal amounts of two enantiomers is known
as racemic mixture.
For example: When a 3
halide undergoes
substitution, the reaction
proceeds through SN1
mechanism forming the
racemic mixture in which
one of the products has the
same configuration as a
reactant while the other
product has an inverted
configuration.
3. C6H5CH (C6H5) Br will be more reactive towards SN1 substitution reaction
because SN1 substitution reaction involves the formation of carbocation which is not
affected by the presence of bulky groups

A.
The basicity of amines depends on the +I effect of the alkyl groups. In
alkylamine, -CH3 groups increase the electron density on the nitrogen atom and thus
increases the basicity whereas in ammonia - CH3 groups are absent. Thus, alkylamine
is more basic than ammonia

(ii) Tendency to form pentahalides decreases down the group in group 15 of the
periodic table.
(b) Complete the following chemical equations:

P4 + SO 2 Cl 2
XeF2 + H 2 O
I 2 + HNO 3(conc)
Answer
(a)
(i) We know that, size of element increases on moving down the group. There is large
difference in the size of N and Cl. It results in the weakness of strength of N Cl
bond. But this is not so in case of N & F. The difference in size of N and F is small.
Thus, the N - F bond is quite strong. As a result, NF3 is an exothermic compound.
(ii) Fluorine is smaller in size. The three lone pair present on F atom in F - F molecule
repels the bond pair. Thus, F - F is most reactive of all the four common halogens.

1)
We know that, electronegativity increase across the periods. Thus, the electro
negativity will be in order:
Cl > S > P
Thus, the ability to lose H+ ions decreases. Hence, the acidic strength of the hydrides
decreases in the following order:
HCl > H2S > PH3
2)
The tendency to form pentahalides decreases down the group. This happens
because of inert pair effect.
