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.

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.

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

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.

energy gap between the 5f, 6d and 7s sub shells. Thus, all their electrons can take

16. What is essentially the difference between -form of glucose and -form of
glucose Explain?
Answer
-form of glucose and -form of glucose can be distinguished by the position of
hydroxyl group on the first carbon atom.
In open chain -glucose, the hydroxyl group on the first carbon atom is present
towards the left side whereas in the closed ring glucose, the hydroxyl group on the
first carbon atom is above the plane of the ring.
In open chain glucose, the hydroxyl group on the first carbon atom is towards the
right whereas, in the closed ring -glucose, the hydroxyl group on the first carbon
atom is below the plane of the ring.

17. Describe what you understand by primary structure & secondary structure of
proteins.
Answer
Primary structure of proteins: In this structure, each polypeptide chain of a protein
has amino acids. These amino acids are linked with each other in a specific sequence.
Secondary structure of proteins: This structure refers to the shape in which a long
polypeptide can exist.
There are two different secondary structures possible:
(a) Helical structure: In this, a polypeptide chain forms all possible hydrogen bonds
by twisting into a helix with NH group of each amino acid residue and
hydrogen bonded to >C=O of an adjacent turn of helix.
(b) b -pleated structure: In this, all peptide chains are stretched out to their
maximum extensions and then laid side by side which are held together by
intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

21. Explain how the phenomenon of adsorption finds application in each of the
following process:
(i) Production of vacuum
(ii) Heterogeneous catalysis
(iii) Froth Floatation process
OR
Define each of the following terms:
(i) Micelles
(ii) Peptization
(iii) Desorption
Answer
(i) Production of high vacuum: Charcoal can adsorb traces of air from a vessel,
evacuated by a vacuum pump & gives a very high vacuum.
(ii) Heterogeneous catalysis: In this catalysis, the gaseous reactants are adsorbed on
the surface of the solid catalysts. Because of which, the concentration of the
reactants increases on the surface. Thus, the rate of reaction increases.

(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
particles in the froth collecting

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

iii.
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.

When an electric current is passed, metal ions from the electrolyte are deposited at the
cathode as pure metal and the impure metal from the anode dissolves into the
electrolyte in the form of ions. The impurities present in the impure metal gets
collected below the anode. This is known as anode mud.

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

Detergents: A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants having
cleaning properties in dilute solutions. Commonly, detergents are
alkylbenzenesulphonates. For example: Sodium dodecylbeuzene sulphonate.
b)
Food preservatives: The chemicals which are added into food in order to
prevent their spoilage by inhibiting microbial growth are known as food preservatives.
For example- Table salt, sugar, sodium benzoate (C6H3COONa), vegetable oil, and
salts of propanoic acid.
c)
Antacids: Any drug that is used to counteract the effects of excess acid in the
stomach and raise the pH to an appropriate level is called an antacid. For example:
Omeprazole.

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.
