SECTION-B

Directions (Q. Nos. 17-21) : This section contains 5 questions with internal choice in one question. The
following questions are very short answer type and carry 2 marks each.

17. Explain why aquatic species are more comfortable in cold water rather than in warm water.

18. Why is Cr2+ reducing and Mn3+ oxidising when both have d 4 configuration?


Ans :
Cr2+ is reducing because after the loss of one electron its configuration changes from d 4 to d 3
, the latter having a half filled t2g level (see next unit). Mn3+ is oxidising because after taking
one electron its configuration changes form d 4 to d 5 (Mn3+ to Mn2+ ) configuration which has
extra stability transition elements.

SECTION-D

Directions (Q. Nos. 29-30) : The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an
internal choice and carries 4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

29. In the 1880s, French chemist François-Marie Raoult discovered that when a substance is dissolved
in a solution, the vapor pressure of the solution will generally decrease. This observation
depends on two variables:
(i) the mole fraction of the amount of dissolved solute present and
(ii) the original vapor pressure (pure solvent).
At any given temperature for a particular solid or liquid, there is a pressure at which the vapor
formed above the substance is in dynamic equilibrium with its liquid or solid form. This is the
vapor pressure of the substance at that temperature. At equilibrium, the rate at which the solid
or liquid evaporates is equal to the rate that the gas is condensing back to its original form. All
solids and liquids have a vapor pressure, and this pressure is constant regardless of how much
of the substance is present.
Answer the following questions :
(a) What is the value of TH mixing and TVmixing for an ideal solution?
(b) Do the intermolecular forces between A and B are weaker or stronger than that between
A - A and B - B in an non-ideal solution with positive deviation ?
(c) Give an example of non-ideal solution with negative deviation. Give an example of ideal
solution.


o
(d) Write the expression for the pressure of non ideal solution with positive and negative
deviations.

30. The sequence of bases along the DNA and RNA chain establishes its primary structure which
controls the specific properties of the nucleic acid. An RNA molecule is usually a single chain
of ribose-containing nucleotide. On the basis of X-ray analysis of DNA, J.D., Watson and
F.H.C. Crick (shared noble prize in 1962) proposed a three dimensional secondary structure for
DNA. DNA molecule is a long and highly complex, spirally twisted, double helix, ladder like
structure. The two polynucleotide chains or strands are linked up by hydrogen bonding between
the nitrogeneous base molecules of their nucleotide monomers. Adenine (purine) always links
with thymine (pyrimidine) with the help of two hydrogen bonds and guanine (purine) with
cytosine (pyrimidine) with the help of three hydrogen bonds. Hence, the two strands extend in
opposite directions, i.e., are antiparallel and complimentary.
Answer the following questions :
(a) What information is given by primary structure of DNA?
(b) Name the types of nitrogeneous bases present in nucleic acids.
(c) Write the structural and functional difference between DNA and RNA.


o
(d) Name the bases present in RNA. Which one of these is not present in DNA?
