28. (i) Define the following terms:

(a) Enantiomers
(b) Racemic mixture
(ii) Why is chlorobenzene resistant to nucleophilic substitution reaction?

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. Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones and those compounds which on hydrolysis
give such compounds are also carbohydrates. The carbohydrates which are not hydrolysed are
called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides with aldehydic group are called aldose and those
which free ketonic groups are called ketose. Carbohydrates are optically active. Number of
optical isomers = 2n .
Where n = number of asymmetric carbons. Carbohydrates are mainly synthesised by plants
during photosynthesis. The monosaccharides give the characteristic reactions of alcohols and
carbonyl group (aldehydes and ketones). It has been found that these monosaccharides exist in
the form of cyclic structures. In cyclization, the - OH groups (generally C5 or C 4 in aldohexoses
and C5 or C 6 in ketohexoses) combine with the aldehyde or keto group. As a result, cyclic
structures of five or six membered rings containing one oxygen atom are formed, e.g., glucose
forms a ring structure. Glucose contains one aldehyde group, one 1° alcoholic group and four
2° alcoholic groups in its open chain structure.
Answer the following questions :
(a) What is the name the first member of ketose sugar?
(b) How many optical isomers are present in CH 2 OH (CHOH) 4 CHO ?
(c) Write the reaction of glucose with hydroxylamine.


o
(d) How many moles of acetic anhydride are needed for acetylation of glucose? What does it
confirm?

30. A solution containing 30 g of non-volatile solute exactly in 90 g of water has a vapour pressure
of 2.8 K Pa at 298 k Further 18 g of water is added to this solution. The new vapour pressure
becomes 2.9 k Pa at 298 K When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the surface has
molecules of solute and solvent both. Thus, the number of molecules of solvent present in upper
surface is less. The number of solvent molecules escaping from the surface is reduced.
Answer the following questions :
(a) Write down the expression for relative lowering of vapour pressure with the mole fraction
of the solute.
(b) Calculate the vapour pressure of water at 298 K.
(c) Find out the molecular mass of solute?


o
(d) Name two factors on which the vapour pressure of the liquid depends.
