    Out of Chlorobenzene and Cyclohexyl chloride, which one is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction and why?

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    Out of Chlorobenzene and Cyclohexyl chloride, Cyclohexyl chloride is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction due to partial double bond character of C-Cl bond in Chlorobenzene which is difficult to break. Also chlorobenzene is resonance stablised.

    Out of KCl and AgCl, which one shows Schottky defect and why?

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    Schottky defect is shown by ionic compounds having small difference in the size of cations and anions. Out of KCl and AgCl, it is shown by KCl, due to comparable sizes of K+ and Cl ions.

    Why does ZnO appear yellow on heating?

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    When zinc oxide is heated, it loses oxygen and there is an excess of Zn2+ ions. The number of excess Zn2+ ions trapped in the interstitial sites is equal to the number of electrons trapped in neighbouring interstitial sites. The presence of free electrons gives rise to the enhanced electrical conductivity and yellow colour to the crystal.

  • Q9

    Give reasons:

    (a) A decrease in temperature is observed on mixing ethanol and acetone.

    (b) Potassium chloride solution freezes at a lower temperature than water.

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    (a) Interaction between ethanol and acetone is weaker than the interaction between pure ethanol or acetone. Therefore, a decrease is observed on mixing ethanol and acetone.

    (b) On adding non-volatile solute like KCl to water, the vapour pressure of solution decreases. Therefore, potassium chloride solution freezes at a lower temperature than water.
