Q2
State the formula relating pressure of a gas with its mole fraction in a liquid solution in contact with it. Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
This relation is given by Henry:- p = KH x XA
Where p = Vapour pressure of the gas
KH = Henry’s constant
XA = Mole fraction of gas in liquid. -
Q3
What is the maximum possible coordination number of an atom in an hcp crystal structure of an element? Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
The maximum possible coordination number of an atom in an hcp crystal structure of an element is 12. -
Q4
Why primary amines have higher boiling than tertiary amines. Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines because primary amines form intermolecular hydrogen bonding but tertiary amines do not form intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to absence of hydrogen atom. -

Q9
Describe the steps involved in the preparation of either potassium dichromate from sodium chromate or potassium permanganate from manganese dioxide. Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
Preparation of Potassium dichromate from sodium chromate:
-In this preparation three steps are involved and these steps are:-
(i) Preparation of sodium chromate :- Finely powdered chromite ore is mixed with soda ash and quicklime. The mixture is then roasted in a reverberatory furnace in the presence of air. Yellow mass due to the formation of sodium chromate is obtained. 4 Fe2Cr2O4 + O2 2 Fe2O3 + 4 Cr2O3 4 Cr2O3 + 8 Na2CO3 + 6 O28 Na2Cr2O4 + 8 CO24 Fe2Cr2O4+ 7 O2 + 8Na2CO3 2Fe2O3+8 CO2 + 8 Na2Cr2O4
(ii) Conversion of chromate into dichromate:-
The yellow solution of Chromate is filtered and treated with concentrated sulphuric acid to give a solution from which orange sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7.2H2O) can be crystalized. 2 Na2Cr2O4 + H2SO4Na2Cr2O7 + Na2SO4 + H2OSodium Chromate Sodium dichromate
(iii) Conversion of sodium dichromate to potassium dichromate:- Hot concentrated solution of sodium dichromate is treated with a calculated amount of potassium chloride, when potassium dichromate being less soluble crystallizes out on cooling.
Na2Cr2O7 + 2KCl
K2Cr2O7 + 2NaCl

Q10
What are enantiomers and diastereomers? Differentiate between chiral and achiral molecules. Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
Enantiomers:- Stereoisomers which are non-superimposable mirror images to each other are known as enantiomers or enantiomorphs. Diastereomers:- The stereoisomers which are optically active isomers but not the mirror images of each other are called diastereoisomers.
An object which is not superimposable on its mirror image is said to be chiral whereas the object which are superimposable on its mirror image is said to be achiral.
