in the melt than in the solid state of metal.
2. In this metal is converted into its volatile compound and then decomposed
to give pure metal.

3. In electrolytic refining impure metal is made as anode & pure metal is
made as cathode. They are put in a suitable electrolyte of salt of the same
metal. When electric current is passed, impure metal dissolves at anode as
1
metal ions and pure metal is deposited as cathode.

value of entropy change (ΔS) of the reduction process is more on +ve side when the
metal formed is in liquid state and the metal oxide being reduced is in solid state. Thus

II)Enthalpy dissociation for F2 is smaller than thatfor Cl2 because of the large electron-
electron repulsion among the lone pairs in F2 molecule. They are very close to each other 1
than in Cl2.
III): N in NH3 has a lone pair of electronwhich it can donates to Cu2+ ions and form 1
linkage with the metal.This leads to the formation of a deep blue colored complex which
helps in the detection of Cu2+ ions. 1

I)Oxygen exists as O2 i.e. O=O with weak vander wall forces and low molecular mass.
Therefore, it is in gaseous form at room temperature. While sulphur exists as S8 at room 1
temperature, it’s molecular mass is much higher and the forces of attraction are
stronger. Therefore, it is solid at a room temperature.

II)Aqua regia is formed by mixing 3 parts of concentrated HCl and 1 part of concentrated
1
HNO3. It can dissolve gold as per the following reaction:
1
Au + 4H+ NO3- + 4Cl-→AuCl4- + NO + 2H2O
III): a) N in NH3 has a lone pair of electrons that can be donated to form linkage with the
metal ions and hence NH3 acts as Lewis base.
b) Lone pair of electronsare not present in PH4+ but in PH3,theseare present and repel the
bonds, giving a smaller bond angle.
c) Axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds in PCl5 because of the higher repulsion
experienced by the axial bond pairs as three pairs of electrons repel them whereas only
two pairs of electrons atrracts the equatorial bonds.

Q.26. I)In Friedel crafts reaction AlCl3 is used as the catalyst with which anilines give salts. so 1
the reaction is not possible for aniline
II) An electron releasing group increases the electron density on the N-atom. So, its
tendency to donate an electron pair to a proton increases and hence the basicity of the
amine.

III) ) We can differentiate primary, secondary and tertiary amines by ‘Hinsberg test’.
When amines are treated with benzene sulphonyl chloride, the following changes occur: 1
-
1
(i) Primary amines form monoalkyl benzene sulphonamide, which is soluble in KOH.
RNH2 + C6H5SO2Cl C6H5SO2NHR C6H5SO2NKR 1
Primary Benzene sulphonyl Monoalkyl Potassium salt of

Monoalkyl Chloride sulphonamide Amine sulphonamide
(ii) Secondary amines form dialkyl benzene sulphonamide, which is insoluble in KOH.
R2NH + C6H5SO2Cl C6H5SO2NR2 insoluble

dialkyl sulphonamide
(iii) Tertiary amine does not react.
OR
I)It is given that compound ‘C’ having the molecular formula, C6H7N is formed by heating
compound ‘B’ with Br2 and KOH. This is a Hoffmann bromamide degradation
reaction. Therefore, compound ‘B’ is an amide and compound ‘C’ is an amine. The
only amine having the molecular formula, C6H7N is aniline, (C6H5NH2).The given
reactions can be explained with the help of the following equations:
1, 1, 1
II) CH3NH2 + C6H5COCl CH3NHCOC6H5 + HCl
III) Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with phenol in which the phenol molecule at its
para position is coupled with the diazonium salt to form p-hydroxybenzene. This 1

As a result the bond cleavage in haloarenes is difficult than haloalkanes and therefore,
they are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction/and Hybridisation of C is

(i) The catalytic activity of transition metals is attributed to the following reasons:
(a) Because of their variable oxidation states transition metals form unstable intermediate
compounds and provide a new path with lower activation energy for the reaction.
(b) In some cases, the transition metal provides a suitable large surface area with free
vacancies on which reactants are adsorbed.
(ii) This due to filling of 4f orbitals which have poor shielding effect or due to lanthanoid
contraction.
(iii) This is due to comparable energies of 5f, 6d and 7s orbital in actinoids.
(iv) Interstitial compounds are well known for many of the transition elements because
the transition elements are capable of entrapping small sized atoms such as H,C and N in
the interstitial sites in their crystal lattices. These trapped atoms get bonded to the atoms
of transition elements, for example, TiC, Fe3H and Mn4N, etc.
(v) The decrease in metallic radius coupled with increase in atomic mass results in a
general increase in density from titanium to copper in the first series of transition
elements.

Ans 26 (a) (i) The Alkyl group in Ketones decreases the positive charge on the Carboxyl carbon due
to + I effect, makes > C= O less polar than Aldehyde and decreasing the attacking tendency of the
nucleophile.
(ii) Phenyl group in Benzoic acid has weak +R effect and thus destablises the Carboxylate anion,
makes it a stronger base. +I effect of Methyl group in Acetic acid is still greater than +R effect of
Phenyl group. This further destabalises the Acetate ion comparatively, makes it a stronger base than
Benzoic acid. So, acetic acid is weaker than Benzoic acid.
(iii) Cresol is a weaker acid than Phenol because +I effect of –R group at the ortho and para position
increases electron density on the Benzene nucleus, decreasing stability of ArO- ion making it a
stronger base as O-H bond becomes less polar. Hence, substituted Phenol is less acidic than Phenol.
