I feel happy in writing the foreword to this Chemistry study material which is
actually a set of five model question papers along with model answers for class XII
students. The marking scheme is also given to let the students understand the
technique of writing appropriate and to the point answers.
I sincerely hope this question bank achieves its objective of helping the students of
this class to get a flavour of the board examination and enhance their performance.
We tried to visualize how it would be beneficial for the students facing the board
examinations and this set of question papers is a guide to achieve this objective
from a student’s perspective.
These Model Question papers adhere to the latest syllabus prescribed by NCERT
and adopted by the CBSE.
This material is a sincere effort to inculcate an effective and comprehensive
approach for taking the questions in the board examinations. It has been designed
to equip the students with ideal guidance and to prepare themselves to get 100%
marks in the Board examinations.

I hope the teachers will make use of the question papers for their students benefit.

Chemistry is really a wonderful subject but our dear students very often find it
tough. It has been noticed that the efforts put in by the Teachers as well as the
students do not always produce the desired results in the AISSCE.

With the focus on equipping the learner with essential skills and granting them
confidence, the present material has been aptly designed for obtaining desired
tangible output.

This will prove good revision material once the syllabus is completed. This support
material consists of five sets of question papers along with model answers and
marking scheme. Model answers are being given separately to enable students to
tally their answers after examining their preparation. Marking scheme is given with
model answers to make the students understand the art of writing relevant
answers.

It will certainly help students to learn more effectively and efficiently. It is designed
to give proper platform to students for better practice. It is also suggested to
students to keep in consideration the time-management aspect as well.

In the end, I earnestly hope that this material will not only improve the academic
result of the students but also instill a sense of confidence to heighten their
proficiency in learning the subject.

All the very best

21. How would you account for the following: 3

a) Cr2+ is reducing as its configuration changes from d4 to d3, the latter having a half-
filled t2g level. On the other hand, the change from Mn2+ to Mn3+ results in the half-
filled (d5) configuration which has extra stability.
b) Cobalt (III) has greater tendency to form complex than Cobalt (II)Hence in the
presence of ligands Cobalt (II) changes to Cobalt (III) i.e. is easily oxidized.
c) Due to poor shielding by 5f electrons in actinoid as compared to that by 4f
electrons in the lanthanoids.
OR
a) The enthalpies of atomization of the transition metals are high because the atoms
in these elements are held together by strong metallic bonds.
b)Transition metals generally form coloured compounds because of presence of
unpaired electrons in d sub shell.
c)Transition and their many compounds act as good catalysts because of variable
oxidation-state they form intermediate compounds with reactants and provide a low
activation energy path for reaction.
22 Explain the following terms with suitable examples 3
(i) cationic detergents: These are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or

V) Benzoic acid C6H5COOH

OR
A is an organic compound with a molecular formula C8H16O2. This gives a
carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C) on hydrolysis with dilute sulphuric acid. Thus,
compound A must be an ester.
Further, oxidation of alcohol (C) with chromic acid gives acid B. Thus, B and C must
contain equal number of carbon atoms.
A total of 8 carbon atoms are present in compound A, each of B and C contain 4
carbon atoms.
Again, alcohol C gives but-1-ene on dehydration. Therefore, C is of straight chain
and hence, it is butan-1-ol.
On oxidation, Butan-1-ol gives butanoic acid. Hence, acid B is butanoic acid.
Hence, the ester with molecular formula C8H16O2 is butylbutanoate.

26 a) I−Cl bond is weaker than I−I bond , therefore ICl is more reactive. 1X5
b) H2SO4 + H2O → H3O+ + HSO4- (Ka1 >10)
HSO4- + H2O → H3O+ + SO4-- (Ka2 = 1.2×10-2)
The larger value of Ka1 indicates H2SO4 is largely dissociated in to H3O+ and HSO4-
c)Ozone is strong oxidizing agent as it can liberate nascent oxygen very easily.
O3→ O + O2
d)Because H −Te bond is weaker then H −S bond.

normal tetrahedral bond angle.

(a) (i) These are the characteristics of -CHO group but it is not free in glucose 1
A.16 since it is involved in the formation of cyclic structure. 1
(ii) Presence of intermolecular hydrogen bond 1

A.18 (a) (i) Acidic flux is SiO2 ½+ ½

(ii) Basic flux is CaO
(b) (i) Cu2O undergoes self reduction to form blister copper as 1
2Cu2O + Cu2S→ 6Cu + SO2 1
(ii) Fe2O3 + 3C →3CO +2Fe

(a)Cryolite reduces melting point of alumina

(b)Concentration of ore is carried out by digesting the powered ore with a

45
 concentrated solution of NaOH at 473-523 K and 35-36 bar pressure. Al2O3is 1
leached out as sodium meta aluminate and SiO2 as sodium silicate leaving behind
impurities. 1
Al2O 3 + 2NaOH + 3H2O→ 2Na[Al(OH)4(aq)

2Na[Al(OH)4(aq) + CO2→Al2O3.xH2O + 2NaHCO3

Al2O3.xH2O→Al2O 3 + xH2O
A.19 (a) On heating chloroform and carbon tetrachloride with aniline and ethanolic 1
potassium hydroxide separately chloroform forms pungent smelling isocynide but
carbon tetrachloride does not form this compound
(b)On adding sodium hydroxide and silver nitrate to both the compounds benzyl
chloride forms white precipitate but chlorobenzene does not forms white
precipitate. 1

A.20 (i) Antiseptics are the chemicals applied to the living tissues either to kill or 1
prevent the growth of microorganisms e. g. Dettol 1
(ii) Antioxidants are the compounds which retard the action of oxygen on food
and reduces its rate ofdecomposition by oxidation e.g. BHA 1

(iii) Narcotic analgesics are the chemicals used for relief of post operative pain
e.g. morphine.

A.23 (a)Harmful effects of lead on the human being as well as on the environment. 1
It is wise to choose sustained long term benefit than short term benefit with regard 1
to health / money knowledge of chemistry and its relation to environment.
(b)(i) Environmental protection (ii) Health concerns 1+1

A.24 (i) Because oxygen forms multiple bonds with transition metals but fluorine 1
does not form multiple bonds. 1
(ii) Cu has lower hydration enthalpy which is unable to compensate sum of first
and second ionization enthalpy. 1
(iii) 4f electrons of lanthanides is less effectively shielded by nuclear charge 1
than 5f electrons of actinides 1
(iv) Because the dichromate ion get reduced to chromium ions in acidic
medium. 1
(v) The actinides show more number of oxidation states than lanthanides
because in actinides 5f, 6d and 7f levels have comparable energies. 1
OR
a.(i)Oxidation states of transition elements differ from each other by unity. In non 1

(b) (i) Because chloro acetate ion is more resonance stabilised than acetate ion due
to the presence of electron withdrawing chlorine atom (-I effect).

(ii) Due to the presence of extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in

carboxylic acids than in alcohols molecules.

(iii) Because of –I effect of nitro group stability of benzoate ion increases in 4-

nitro benzoic acid .But methoxy (+I effect) group decreases the stability of
benzoate ion.
