If the angle between the pair of lines $x^2+2 \sqrt{2} x y+k y^2=0, k>0$ is $45^{\circ}$,then the area (in square units) of the triangle formed by the pair of bisectors of the angles between these lines and the line $x+2 y+1=0$ is
A
$\frac{1}{3}$
B
$1$
C
$\frac{2}{3}$
D
$2$

Solution

(A) The given pair of lines is $x^2+2 \sqrt{2} x y+k y^2=0$. Comparing with $ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0$,we have $a=1, h=\sqrt{2}, b=k$.
The angle $\theta$ between the lines is given by $\tan \theta = \left| \frac{2\sqrt{h^2-ab}}{a+b} \right|$.
Given $\theta = 45^{\circ}$,so $\tan 45^{\circ} = 1 = \left| \frac{2\sqrt{2-k}}{1+k} \right|$.
Squaring both sides: $1 = \frac{4(2-k)}{(1+k)^2}$ $\Rightarrow (1+k)^2 = 8-4k$ $\Rightarrow 1+k^2+2k = 8-4k$ $\Rightarrow k^2+6k-7=0$.
Solving for $k$: $(k+7)(k-1)=0$. Since $k>0$,we get $k=1$.
The pair of lines is $x^2+2\sqrt{2}xy+y^2=0$. The equation of the angle bisectors is $\frac{x^2-y^2}{a-b} = \frac{xy}{h} \Rightarrow \frac{x^2-y^2}{1-1} = \frac{xy}{\sqrt{2}}$,which is not the standard form. Using $\frac{x^2-y^2}{a-b} = \frac{xy}{h}$ is invalid when $a=b$. The correct bisector equation is $h(x^2-y^2) = (a-b)xy$. Since $a=b=1$,we have $0 = \sqrt{2}(x^2-y^2)$,so $x^2-y^2=0$,which gives $x-y=0$ and $x+y=0$.
The triangle is formed by $x-y=0, x+y=0$ and $x+2y+1=0$. The vertices are $(0,0)$,$(-1,0)$,and $(-1/3, -1/3)$.
The area is $\frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2-y_3) + x_2(y_3-y_1) + x_3(y_1-y_2)| = \frac{1}{2} |0 + (-1)(-1/3-0) + (-1/3)(0-0)| = \frac{1}{2} |1/3| = \frac{1}{6}$.

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\cos ^2 x}{\cos ^2 x+4 \sin ^2 x} d x=$
A
$\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 2$
B
$-\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 3$
C
$-\frac{\pi}{12}+\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 2$
D
$\frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{2}{3} \tan ^{-1} 4$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\cos^2 x}{\cos^2 x + 4\sin^2 x} dx$.
Divide the numerator and denominator by $\cos^2 x$:
$I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{1}{1 + 4\tan^2 x} dx$.
Let $u = \tan x$,then $du = \sec^2 x dx$. Since $\sec^2 x = 1 + \tan^2 x = 1 + u^2$,we have $dx = \frac{du}{1+u^2}$.
When $x = 0, u = 0$. When $x = \frac{\pi}{4}, u = 1$.
$I = \int_0^1 \frac{1}{(1+4u^2)(1+u^2)} du$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{1}{(1+4u^2)(1+u^2)} = \frac{A}{1+4u^2} + \frac{B}{1+u^2}$.
$1 = A(1+u^2) + B(1+4u^2)$.
For $u^2 = -1, 1 = B(1-4) \Rightarrow B = -\frac{1}{3}$.
For $u^2 = -\frac{1}{4}, 1 = A(1-\frac{1}{4}) \Rightarrow A = \frac{4}{3}$.
$I = \int_0^1 (\frac{4/3}{1+4u^2} - \frac{1/3}{1+u^2}) du = [\frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1}(2u) - \frac{1}{3} \tan^{-1}(u)]_0^1$.
$I = [\frac{2}{3} \tan^{-1}(2u) - \frac{1}{3} \tan^{-1}(u)]_0^1 = \frac{2}{3} \tan^{-1}(2) - \frac{1}{3} \tan^{-1}(1) = \frac{2}{3} \tan^{-1}(2) - \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{2}{3} \tan^{-1}(2) - \frac{\pi}{12}$.

The maximum number of electrons that can have the set of quantum numbers $n=4$,$m_l=0$,and $m_s=\frac{1}{2}$ is
A
$3$
B
$4$
C
$5$
D
$6$

Solution

(B) For a given principal quantum number $n=4$,the possible subshells are $4s$,$4p$,$4d$,and $4f$.
Each subshell contains at least one orbital with $m_l=0$ (specifically the $ns$,$np_z$,$nd_{z^2}$,and $nf_{z^3}$ orbitals).
There are $4$ such orbitals in the $n=4$ shell that have $m_l=0$.
Since each orbital can hold only one electron with a specific spin $m_s=\frac{1}{2}$,the total number of electrons is $4 \times 1 = 4$.

Cyclopent$-3-$en$-1-$amine
B
$1,2,3,6-$Tetrahydropyridine
C
$1,2,3,6-$Tetrahydropyridine (isomer)
D
$N$-Methylaniline

Solution

(A) The compound '$A$' must contain an alkene group to decolourise $Br_2 / CCl_4$ and a primary amine group $(-NH_2)$ to release $N_2$ gas upon reaction with nitrous acid $(HNO_2)$.
$1$. Reaction with $HNO_2$: Primary aliphatic amines react with $HNO_2$ to form unstable diazonium salts,which decompose to release $N_2$ gas and form alcohols.
$2$. Reaction with $Br_2 / CCl_4$: The presence of a carbon-carbon double bond $(C=C)$ leads to the addition of bromine,which causes the reddish-brown colour of $Br_2$ to disappear.
Among the given options,Cyclopent$-3-$en$-1-$amine contains both a primary amine group and a double bond,satisfying both conditions.

$V. C_2H_2$
A
$I, II, IV$
B
$II, IV, V$
C
$II, III, IV$
D

Solution

(B) To determine the linear structure,we analyze the hybridization and lone pairs on the central atom:
$I. SnCl_2$: $Sn$ has $4$ valence electrons. It forms $2$ sigma bonds and has $1$ lone pair. Due to the lone pair,it has a bent ($V$-shaped) structure.
$II. BeF_2$: $Be$ has $2$ valence electrons,both involved in bonding with $F$ atoms. It has no lone pair and is $sp$ hybridized,resulting in a linear structure.
$III. SO_2$: $S$ has $6$ valence electrons. It forms $2$ sigma bonds and $2$ pi bonds with $O$ atoms,leaving $1$ lone pair on $S$. This results in a bent structure.
$IV. NO_2^+$: The nitronium ion $(NO_2^+)$ has $N$ as the central atom with $4$ valence electrons (after losing one). It forms $2$ double bonds with $O$ atoms. It has no lone pair and is $sp$ hybridized,resulting in a linear structure.
$V. C_2H_2$: Each $C$ atom is $sp$ hybridized,forming $1$ sigma bond with $H$ and $1$ sigma bond with the other $C$ atom,plus $2$ pi bonds. The molecule is linear.
Thus,$II, IV,$ and $V$ have linear structures. The correct option is $(b)$.

What is the bonding nature in $LiCl$ bond?
A
Pure ionic
B
Pure covalent
C
Coordinate bond
D
Ionic and covalent

Solution

(D) $LiCl$ exhibits both ionic and covalent character.
$LiCl$ is ionic because $Li$ is a metal and $Cl$ is a non-metal,resulting in an electrostatic force of attraction between the positive $(Li^{+})$ and negative $(Cl^{-})$ ions.
$LiCl$ also exhibits covalent character because the small size of the $Li^{+}$ cation causes significant polarization of the larger $Cl^{-}$ anion,as described by Fajan's rule.
Therefore,the bonding in $LiCl$ is both ionic and covalent.

Which of the following compounds has the highest dipole moment $(D)$?
A
$HBr$
B
$CH_3COCH_3$
C
$H_2S$
D
$COCl_2$

Solution

(B) The dipole moments of the given compounds are as follows:
$(a)$ For $HBr$,$\mu = 0.82 \ D$.
$(b)$ For acetone $(CH_3COCH_3)$,the electron-releasing methyl groups increase the electron density towards the oxygen atom,resulting in a net dipole moment of $\mu_{net} = 2.69 \ D$.
$(c)$ For $H_2S$,$\mu_{net} = 0.97 \ D$.
$(d)$ For $COCl_2$,$\mu_{net} = 1.17 \ D$.
Comparing these values,acetone $(CH_3COCH_3)$ has the highest dipole moment.

Which is the correct order of dipole moments of $BF_3$,$NF_3$ and $NH_3$?
A
$NH_3 > BF_3 > NF_3$
B
$BF_3 > NF_3 > NH_3$
C
$NH_3 > NF_3 > BF_3$
D
$NF_3 > NH_3 > BF_3$

Solution

(C) $BF_3$ has a zero dipole moment due to its symmetrical trigonal planar geometry.
In $NH_3$,$N$ is more electronegative than $H$. The bond dipoles of the three $N-H$ bonds and the lone pair on the nitrogen atom are in the same direction,which reinforces each other,resulting in a high net dipole moment.
In $NF_3$,$F$ is more electronegative than $N$. The bond dipoles of the three $N-F$ bonds are in the opposite direction to the dipole moment of the lone pair on the nitrogen atom,which partially cancels out the net dipole moment.
Therefore,the dipole moment of $NH_3$ is greater than that of $NF_3$,and $BF_3$ has the lowest (zero) dipole moment.
The correct order is $NH_3 > NF_3 > BF_3$.

In which of the following is the hydrogen bonding strongest?
A
$O-H \cdots N$
B
$O-H \cdots O$
C
$O-H \cdots F$
D
$F-H \cdots F$

Solution

(D) Key Idea: The strength of hydrogen bonding is directly proportional to the electronegativity difference between the $H$-atom and the atom to which it is covalently bonded,as well as the electronegativity of the atom forming the hydrogen bond.
Since the electronegativity of $F$ is the highest among $N$,$O$,and $F$,the $H-F$ bond is the most polar,and the interaction in $F-H \cdots F$ is the strongest.
Therefore,option $D$ is the correct answer.

For the reaction,$0.5 C_{(s)} + 0.5 CO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{(g)}$,the equilibrium pressure is $12 \ atm$. If $CO_2$ conversion is $50 \%$,the value of $K_p$,in $atm$,is:
A
$4$
B
$1$
C
$0.5$
D
$2$

Solution

(A) The reaction is $0.5 C_{(s)} + 0.5 CO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{(g)}$.
Let the initial moles of $CO_{2(g)}$ be $1 \ mol$.
At equilibrium,$50 \%$ of $CO_{2(g)}$ is converted,so $0.5 \ mol$ of $CO_{2(g)}$ remains.
The amount of $CO_{(g)}$ formed is $1 \ mol$ (based on stoichiometry: $0.5 \ mol$ of $CO_2$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CO$).
Total moles at equilibrium = $0.5 \ (CO_2) + 1 \ (CO) = 1.5 \ mol$.
Mole fraction of $CO_2$ $(x_{CO_2})$ = $0.5 / 1.5 = 1/3$.
Mole fraction of $CO$ $(x_{CO})$ = $1 / 1.5 = 2/3$.
Partial pressure $P_{CO_2} = (1/3) \times 12 \ atm = 4 \ atm$.
Partial pressure $P_{CO} = (2/3) \times 12 \ atm = 8 \ atm$.
$K_p = \frac{P_{CO}}{(P_{CO_2})^{0.5}} = \frac{8}{(4)^{0.5}} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \ atm^{0.5}$.
Thus,the value of $K_p$ is $4$.

$A$ solution of $0.1 \ mol$ of $CH_3NH_2$ $(K_b = 5 \times 10^{-4})$ and $0.08 \ mol$ of $HCl$ is diluted to $1 \ L$. The $pOH$ of the resulting solution is $(\log 1.25 = 0.1)$.
A
$10.1$
B
$3.9$
C
$4.9$
D
$9.9$

Solution

(B) The reaction is: $CH_3NH_2 + HCl \rightarrow CH_3NH_3^+ + Cl^-$
Initial moles: $0.1 \ mol$ of $CH_3NH_2$ and $0.08 \ mol$ of $HCl$.
After reaction: $0.02 \ mol$ of $CH_3NH_2$ remains and $0.08 \ mol$ of $CH_3NH_3Cl$ is formed.
This forms a basic buffer solution.
The $pOH$ is calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: $pOH = pK_b + \log \left( \frac{[Salt]}{[Base]} \right)$.
$pK_b = -\log(5 \times 10^{-4}) = 4 - \log 5 = 4 - 0.7 = 3.3$.
$pOH = 3.3 + \log \left( \frac{0.08}{0.02} \right) = 3.3 + \log(4) = 3.3 + 0.6 = 3.9$.

Consider the equilibrium,$H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2 HI$. Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction when the equilibrium concentrations of $H_2$,$I_2$,and $HI$ are $1.14 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$,$0.12 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$,and $2.52 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$,respectively.
A
$46.4$
B
$0.021$
C
$18.42$
D
$0.054$

Solution

(B) The given reaction is $H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2 HI$.
The reverse reaction is $2 HI \rightleftharpoons H_2 + I_2$.
The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction is given by $K = \frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]^2}$.
Given concentrations are $[H_2] = 1.14 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$,$[I_2] = 0.12 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$,and $[HI] = 2.52 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
Substituting these values into the expression:
$K = \frac{(1.14 \times 10^{-2}) \times (0.12 \times 10^{-2})}{(2.52 \times 10^{-2})^2}$
$K = \frac{0.1368 \times 10^{-4}}{6.3504 \times 10^{-4}}$
$K \approx 0.02154$.
Rounding to two significant figures,$K = 0.021$.

In which of the following plots,an endothermic reaction is correctly represented?
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(D) The relationship between the equilibrium constant $K_p$ and temperature $T$ is given by the van 't Hoff equation:
$\ln K_p = -\frac{\Delta H^\circ}{R} \cdot \frac{1}{T} + \frac{\Delta S^\circ}{R}$
where $\Delta H^\circ$ is the standard enthalpy change of the reaction,$R$ is the gas constant,and $\Delta S^\circ$ is the standard entropy change.
For an endothermic reaction,$\Delta H^\circ > 0$.
Comparing this with the linear equation $y = mx + c$,where $y = \ln K_p$ and $x = \frac{1}{T}$,the slope $m = -\frac{\Delta H^\circ}{R}$.
Since $\Delta H^\circ > 0$ and $R > 0$,the slope $m = -\frac{\Delta H^\circ}{R}$ must be negative.
Therefore,the plot of $\ln K_p$ versus $\frac{1}{T}$ for an endothermic reaction is a straight line with a negative slope.
Thus,option $(d)$ is correct.

In which group of the periodic table will the element with $Z=120$ be placed?
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$14$
D
$15$

Solution

(A) The element with $Z=120$ is a hypothetical element with the $IUPAC$ name $\text{unbinilium}$.
Its electronic configuration is $[Og] 8s^2$,where $[Og]$ represents the configuration of Oganesson $(Z=118)$.
Since it has two electrons in its outermost $s$-orbital $(8s^2)$,it belongs to group $2$ of the $s$-block in the periodic table.
Therefore,option $(A)$ is the correct answer.

Among the isoelectronic ions $(O^{2-}, N^{3-}, Mg^{2+}, Na^{+})$,the ions with the least and the highest ionic radius are,respectively
A
$Mg^{2+}, N^{3-}$
B
$Mg^{2+}, O^{2-}$
C
$Na^{+}, N^{3-}$
D
$Na^{+}, O^{2-}$

Solution

(A) For isoelectronic species,the ionic radius decreases as the nuclear charge (number of protons) increases because the electrons are more strongly attracted to the nucleus.
$Species$ $N^{3-}, O^{2-}, Na^{+}, Mg^{2+}$
$Number$ of electrons $10, 10, 10, 10$
$Number$ of protons $7, 8, 11, 12$

As the number of protons increases,the effective nuclear charge increases,leading to a smaller ionic radius.
The order of ionic radius is: $Mg^{2+} < Na^{+} < O^{2-} < N^{3-}$.
Thus,$Mg^{2+}$ has the least ionic radius and $N^{3-}$ has the highest ionic radius.

(A) All the given species $(S^{2-}, P^{3-}, Cl^{-}, Ca^{2+}, Ar, K^{+})$ are isoelectronic,meaning they all contain $18$ electrons.
For isoelectronic species,the ionic radius decreases as the nuclear charge (atomic number,$Z$) increases.
The atomic numbers are: $P (Z=15), S (Z=16), Cl (Z=17), Ar (Z=18), K (Z=19), Ca (Z=20)$.
Since the number of electrons is constant $(18)$,the species with the lowest atomic number will have the weakest nuclear attraction for the electrons,resulting in the largest radius.
Therefore,the decreasing order of radius is: $P^{3-} > S^{2-} > Cl^{-} > Ar > K^{+} > Ca^{2+}$.

The reason for a cation to be smaller than its parent atom is
A
repulsion between the electrons of outer orbit
B
Increased electrostatic attraction between nucleus and electrons.
C
increase in the mass of the cation compared to neutral atom.
D
change in the number of protons of cation compared to neutral atom.

Solution

(B) When an atom loses one or more electrons to form a cation,the number of protons remains the same,but the number of electrons decreases. This results in an increased effective nuclear charge,which leads to a stronger electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electrons,pulling them closer and causing the ionic radius to be smaller than the atomic radius.

Identify the correct order of ionic radii of the following ions.
A
$Al^{3+} > K^{+} > Mg^{2+} > Li^{+}$
B
$K^{+} > Mg^{2+} > Al^{3+} > Li^{+}$
C
$K^{+} > Li^{+} > Mg^{2+} > Al^{3+}$
D
$K^{+} > Mg^{2+} > Li^{+} > Al^{3+}$

Solution

(C) The ionic radii of isoelectronic species decrease as the nuclear charge increases.
For the given ions,$K^{+}$ ($18$ electrons),$Li^{+}$ ($2$ electrons),$Mg^{2+}$ ($10$ electrons),and $Al^{3+}$ ($10$ electrons) have different electronic configurations.
Comparing them based on their positions in the periodic table:
$K^{+}$ is in the $4^{th}$ period,so it has the largest radius.
$Li^{+}$ is in the $2^{nd}$ period.
$Mg^{2+}$ and $Al^{3+}$ are isoelectronic ($10$ electrons each) and belong to the $3^{rd}$ period.
For isoelectronic species,the ionic radius decreases as the atomic number $(Z)$ increases: $Mg^{2+}$ $(Z=12)$ > $Al^{3+}$ $(Z=13)$.
Thus,the correct order is $K^{+} > Li^{+} > Mg^{2+} > Al^{3+}$.

Which one among the following statements is/are not correct?
$I$. $Ba$ compounds,generally are more covalent than $Be$ compounds.
$II$. The electron gain enthalpy of $He$ is positive.
$III$. The oxidation state of $O$ in $OF_2$ and $Na_2O$ are same.
$IV$. The radius of $Na^{+}$ ion is smaller than that of $F^{-}$ ion.
A
$I, III, IV$
B
$II$
C
$II, III, IV$
D
$I, III$

Solution

(D) The explanation of the given statements is as follows:
$I$. Both beryllium $(Be)$ and barium $(Ba)$ belong to the same group (group-$2$). As we move down the group,the size of the atom/ion increases,and the covalent character decreases. Thus,$Ba$ compounds are generally less covalent than $Be$ compounds. Therefore,statement $I$ is not correct.
$II$. The electron gain enthalpy of $He$ is positive due to its very small size and fully-filled electronic configuration $(1s^2)$. Hence,statement $II$ is correct.
$III$. The oxidation state of $O$ in $OF_2$ is $+2$,whereas the oxidation state of $O$ in $Na_2O$ is $-2$. Hence,statement $III$ is not correct.
$IV$. Both $Na^{+}$ and $F^{-}$ are isoelectronic species (both have $10$ electrons). However,$Na^{+}$ has $11$ protons while $F^{-}$ has $9$ protons. Due to the higher nuclear charge in $Na^{+}$,it exerts a greater attractive force on the electrons,making its radius smaller than that of $F^{-}$. Hence,statement $IV$ is correct.
Since statements $I$ and $III$ are not correct,the correct option is $(D)$.

How many water molecules present in $CuSO_4 \cdot 5 H_2 O$ are hydrogen bonded?
A
$5$
B
$1$
C
$4$
D
$2$

Solution

(B) In the structure of $CuSO_4 \cdot 5 H_2 O$,there are $5$ water molecules present as water of crystallization.
Out of these $5 H_2 O$ molecules,$4 H_2 O$ molecules are directly coordinated to the $Cu^{2+}$ ion through coordinate covalent bonds.
The fifth $H_2 O$ molecule is held in the crystal lattice by hydrogen bonding between the $SO_4^{2-}$ ion and the coordinated water molecules.
Therefore,only $1$ water molecule is hydrogen bonded.
Thus,option $(b)$ is the correct answer.

A
$CO_2$
B
$O_3$
C
$SO_x$ (oxides of sulphur)
D
$NO_x$ (oxides of nitrogen)

Solution

(D) The irritant red haze in traffic and congested places is due to the oxides of nitrogen $(NO_x)$.
Nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$ is a poisonous gas with a reddish-brown color.
When it is mixed with aerosols in the atmosphere,it causes a reddish-brown haze in congested areas.

Consider the following reactions involving some atmospheric pollutants:
$NO + O_3 \rightarrow NO_2 + O_2$
$NO_2 \xrightarrow{h \nu} NO + O$
$O + O_2 \rightarrow O_3$
$4 NO_2 + O_2 + 2 H_2 O \longrightarrow 4 HNO_3$
$3 CH_4 + 2 O_3 \longrightarrow 3 H_2 C = O + 3 H_2 O$
Based on the above,the formation of formaldehyde from methane in the atmosphere will be controlled by:
A
Only $O_3$
B
$O_3$ and $NO_2$
C
$O_3, NO$ and $NO_2$
D
$NO$ and $NO_2$

Solution

(C) The reaction sequence shows that $NO$ and $NO_2$ participate in the catalytic cycle that maintains the concentration of $O_3$ in the atmosphere.
The formation of formaldehyde $(H_2C=O)$ from methane $(CH_4)$ is directly dependent on the concentration of ozone $(O_3)$.
Since the concentration of $O_3$ is regulated by the $NO_x$ cycle ($NO$ and $NO_2$),the overall formation of formaldehyde is controlled by the presence of $O_3, NO$ and $NO_2$.
Therefore,option $(C)$ is correct.

$3 Ca_3(PO_4)_2, PF_5$
C
$Ca_2 SO_4 \cdot CaF_2$
D
$3[Ca_3(PO_4)_2 \cdot CaF_2]$

Solution

(D) The enamel of teeth is composed of hydroxyapatite,which has the formula $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$.
When it reacts with $F^{-}$ ions,the $OH^{-}$ ions are replaced by $F^{-}$ ions to form fluorapatite:
$Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2 + 2 F^{-} \longrightarrow Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6 F_2 + 2 OH^{-}$
This product,$Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6 F_2$,can be represented as $3[Ca_3(PO_4)_2] \cdot CaF_2$.
Therefore,option $(D)$ is the correct answer.

A
$274, 0.00$
B
$277, 0.00$
C
$277, 0.33$
D
$274, 0.33$

Solution

(B) In the $cis-isomer$,the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond,resulting in a net dipole moment.
In the $trans-isomer$,the methyl groups are on opposite sides,causing the individual bond dipoles to cancel each other out,resulting in a net dipole moment of $0.00 \ D$.
Due to the higher polarity,the $cis-isomer$ has stronger intermolecular dipole-dipole interactions compared to the $trans-isomer$,leading to a higher boiling point.
The boiling point of $cis-but-2-ene$ is $277 \ K$ and the dipole moment of $trans-but-2-ene$ is $0.00 \ D$.

Question diagram
A
$I > II > III$
B
$I > III > II$
C
$II > I > III$
D
$III > II > I$

Solution

(A) Non-charged molecular species are the most stable. Therefore,structure $(I)$ has the maximum stability.
In the charged resonating structures $(II)$ and $(III)$,the stability depends on the distance between the positive and negative charges.
Structure $(II)$ has the negative charge at the ortho position relative to the positive charge,while structure $(III)$ has the negative charge at the para position.
Since the distance between the opposite charges is smaller in $(II)$ than in $(III)$,the electrostatic attraction is stronger in $(II)$.
Thus,the stability order is $I > II > III$.

A
$C < B < D < A$
B
$C < B < A < D$
C
$A < D < B < C$
D
$C < D < B < A$

Solution

(A) The stability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is determined by the resonance energy per ring.
Benzene $(A)$: $36 \ kcal/mol$ per ring.
Naphthalene $(B)$: $61 \ kcal/mol$ for $2$ rings,so $61/2 = 30.5 \ kcal/mol$ per ring.
Anthracene $(C)$: $84 \ kcal/mol$ for $3$ rings,so $84/3 = 28 \ kcal/mol$ per ring.
Phenanthrene $(D)$: $92 \ kcal/mol$ for $3$ rings,so $92/3 = 30.67 \ kcal/mol$ per ring.
Comparing the values: $28 (C) < 30.5 (B) < 30.67 (D) < 36 (A)$.
Therefore,the order of stability is $C < B < D < A$.

The number of no bond resonance structures possible for but$-1-$ene and a $3^{\circ}$ carbocation having methyl,ethyl,and isobutyl groups on the cationic carbon,respectively,are:
A
$3, 7$
B
$4, 6$
C
$2, 7$
D
$5, 6$

Solution

(C) No bond resonance (hyperconjugation) depends on the number of $\alpha-H$ atoms.
For but$-1-$ene $(CH_3-CH_2-CH=CH_2)$,the $\alpha$-carbon is the $CH_2$ group attached to the double bond. It has $2$ $\alpha-H$ atoms. Therefore,it gives $2$ no bond resonating structures.
For a $3^{\circ}$ carbocation with methyl $(-CH_3)$,ethyl $(-CH_2CH_3)$,and isobutyl $(-CH_2CH(CH_3)_2)$ groups attached to the cationic carbon,the total number of $\alpha-H$ atoms is calculated as follows:
- From methyl group: $3$ $\alpha-H$
- From ethyl group: $2$ $\alpha-H$
- From isobutyl group: $2$ $\alpha-H$
Total $\alpha-H = 3 + 2 + 2 = 7$.
Thus,it forms $7$ no bond resonating structures.
Hence,option $(C)$ is correct.

Solution

(B) Key Idea: Conditions for a species to be aromatic are:
$(I)$ The structure must follow $H$ückel's rule,i.e.,it must have $(4n+2) \pi$-electrons,where $n$ is an integer $(0, 1, 2, 3, \dots)$.
$(II)$ The structure must be a planar cyclic ring.
$(A)$ Cyclopentadienyl anion: It has $6 \pi$-electrons $(n=1)$ and is planar. Thus,it is aromatic.
$(B)$ $1,2-$dihydronaphthalene: It is not fully conjugated and has $8 \pi$-electrons. Thus,it is not aromatic.
$(C)$ Tropylium cation: It has $6 \pi$-electrons $(n=1)$ and is planar. Thus,it is aromatic.
$(D)$ Phenanthrene: It has $14 \pi$-electrons $(n=3)$ and is planar. Thus,it is aromatic.
$(E)$ Cyclopentadienyl cation: It has $4 \pi$-electrons ($n=1$ for $4n$ rule). Thus,it is anti-aromatic (not aromatic).
$(F)$ Cyclopropenyl anion: It has $4 \pi$-electrons ($n=0$ for $4n$ rule). Thus,it is anti-aromatic (not aromatic).
Therefore,species $(B)$,$(E)$,and $(F)$ are not aromatic. Hence,option $(b)$ is the correct answer.

Solution

(C) $(I)$ The mixture of $NaOH + CaO$ is called sodalime. When it reacts with the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid,it gives the corresponding alkane. This reaction is called decarboxylation of salts of carboxylic acids: $R-COONa + NaOH \xrightarrow[\Delta]{CaO} R-H + Na_2CO_3$ (Alkane).
$(II)$ This reaction is called Clemmensen reduction. It converts aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alkane: $CH_3COCH_3 \xrightarrow[conc. HCl]{Zn-Hg} CH_3CH_2CH_3$ (Propane,an alkane).
$(III)$ The reaction of $CH_3C \equiv CCH_3$ with $LiAlH_4$ does not typically reduce alkynes to alkanes; it is generally unreactive toward isolated alkynes,or may lead to complex mixtures depending on conditions,but it is not a standard method for alkane synthesis.
$(IV)$ The reaction of a tertiary alkyl halide like $(CH_3)_3CCl$ with $NaBH_4$ is generally slow or does not occur under standard conditions,as $NaBH_4$ is a mild reducing agent typically used for aldehydes and ketones,not alkyl halides.
Therefore,only reactions $(I)$ and $(II)$ produce alkanes. However,reviewing the options provided,if we re-evaluate the reactivity,$(IV)$ can sometimes undergo reduction to alkanes with specific reagents,but based on standard textbook reactions,$(I)$ and $(II)$ are the primary alkane-producing reactions. Given the options,$(C)$ is the most plausible choice if $(IV)$ is considered to proceed under specific conditions.

A
Hydrocarbons containing even number of carbon atoms produced at anode
B
Hydrocarbons containing odd number of carbon atoms produced at anode
C
Hydrocarbons containing even number of carbon atoms produced at cathode
D
Hydrocarbons containing odd number of carbon atoms produced at cathode

Solution

(A) In Kolbe's electrolysis,the aqueous solution of sodium or potassium salt of a carboxylic acid is electrolyzed. The reaction is: $2RCOO^{-}Na^{+} + 2H_2O \rightarrow R-R + 2CO_2 + H_2 + 2NaOH$.
At the anode,the carboxylate ion loses an electron to form a radical,which then decarboxylates and dimerizes to form an alkane: $2RCOO^{-}$ $\rightarrow 2RCOO^{\bullet} + 2e^{-}$ $\rightarrow 2R^{\bullet} + 2CO_2$ $\rightarrow R-R + 2CO_2$.
Since the product $R-R$ is formed by the coupling of two identical alkyl groups $(R)$,the resulting hydrocarbon always contains an even number of carbon atoms.
At the cathode,water is reduced to produce hydrogen gas: $2H_2O + 2e^{-} \rightarrow H_2 + 2OH^{-}$.
Therefore,hydrocarbons with an even number of carbon atoms are produced at the anode.
Thus,option $(A)$ is the correct answer.

$1$. In the first step,$Hg(OAc)_2$ in aqueous $THF$ reacts with the alkene to form an organomercurial intermediate via an electrophilic addition of $Hg(OAc)^+$ followed by the attack of water.
$2$. In the second step,$NaBH_4$ reduces the $C-Hg$ bond to a $C-H$ bond,resulting in the Markovnikov addition of water across the double bond.
$3$. For methylenecyclohexane,the addition of water follows Markovnikov's rule,where the $OH$ group attaches to the more substituted carbon (the tertiary carbon of the ring).
$4$. Thus,the product formed is $1$-methylcyclohexanol.
Hence,option $(C)$ is the correct answer.

If one wants to make methanol out of synthesis gas,what should be the ratio of the gaseous components in the synthesis gas?
A
$1: 2$
B
$1: 1$
C
$1: 3$
D
$3: 1$

Solution

(A) Synthesis gas is a mixture of $CO$ and $H_2$.
To produce methanol $(CH_3OH)$,the chemical reaction is: $CO(g) + 2H_2(g) \longrightarrow CH_3OH(g)$.
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1$ mole of $CO$ reacts with $2$ moles of $H_2$.
Therefore,the ratio of $CO:H_2$ in the synthesis gas should be $1: 2$.
Hence,option $(A)$ is correct.

What is the approximate volume (in $mL$) of $10$ vol $H_2O_2$ solution that will react completely with $1 \ L$ of $0.02 \ M \ KMnO_4$ solution in acidic medium?
A
$56.05$
B
$113.5$
C
$90.8$
D
$75.75$

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between $KMnO_4$ and $H_2O_2$ in an acidic medium is:
$2 \ KMnO_4 + 3 \ H_2SO_4 + 5 \ H_2O_2 \longrightarrow K_2SO_4 + 2 \ MnSO_4 + 8 \ H_2O + 5 \ O_2$
From the stoichiometry,$2 \ \text{moles of } KMnO_4$ react with $5 \ \text{moles of } H_2O_2$.
Given: $n(KMnO_4) = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume} = 0.02 \ M \times 1 \ L = 0.02 \ \text{moles}$.
Therefore,$n(H_2O_2) = \frac{5}{2} \times 0.02 = 0.05 \ \text{moles}$.
Mass of $H_2O_2 = 0.05 \ \text{mol} \times 34 \ g/mol = 1.7 \ g$.
$10 \ \text{vol } H_2O_2$ means $1 \ L$ of $H_2O_2$ solution gives $10 \ L$ of $O_2$ at $STP$.
Since $1 \ L$ of $H_2O_2$ contains $30.3 \ g$ of $H_2O_2$ (as $68 \ g$ of $H_2O_2$ gives $22.4 \ L$ of $O_2$,so $10 \ L$ of $O_2$ corresponds to $\frac{68 \times 10}{22.4} \approx 30.35 \ g$),the concentration is $\frac{30.35 \ g}{1000 \ mL}$.
Volume of $H_2O_2$ solution required $= \frac{1.7 \ g}{30.35 \ g/L} \approx 0.056 \ L = 56 \ mL$.

Solution

(C) The reaction of benzyl phenyl ether with $HI$ proceeds via the protonation of the ether oxygen atom.
Following protonation,the bond between the oxygen and the benzylic carbon breaks to form a stable benzylic carbocation $(C_6H_5CH_2^+)$ and phenol $(C_6H_5OH)$.
The benzylic carbocation is resonance-stabilized.
Finally,the iodide ion $(I^-)$ attacks the benzylic carbocation to form benzyl iodide $(C_6H_5CH_2I)$.
Thus,the major products are benzyl iodide and phenol.
This corresponds to option $C$.

C
Benzoic acid,Aniline,$m$-Nitrobenzoic acid
D
Benzaldehyde,$2$,$4$-Dinitrophenylhydrazine,$p$-Nitrobenzoic acid

Solution

(A) The reaction sequence is as follows:
$1$. $C_2H_2$ (acetylene) when passed through a red hot iron tube undergoes cyclic polymerization to form benzene. Benzene reacts with $CO$ and $HCl$ in the presence of anhydrous $AlCl_3/CuCl$ (Gattermann-Koch reaction) to form $X$ (Benzaldehyde).
$2$. Benzaldehyde $(X)$ reacts with aniline $(Y)$ to form a Schiff's base.
$3$. Benzaldehyde $(X)$ undergoes nitration with $HNO_3/H_2SO_4$ at $273 \ K$ to form $Z$ ($m$-nitrobenzaldehyde) because the $-CHO$ group is meta-directing.
Therefore,$X$ is benzaldehyde,$Y$ is aniline,and $Z$ is $m$-nitrobenzaldehyde. The correct option is $(a)$.

Solution

(C) When benzaldehyde reacts with $NH_2OH$ (hydroxylamine),an oxime is formed.
Further,the oxime undergoes dehydration upon heating with acetic anhydride to yield benzonitrile.
$C_6H_5CHO + NH_2OH \rightarrow C_6H_5CH=NOH + H_2O$
$C_6H_5CH=NOH \xrightarrow{Ac_2O, \Delta} C_6H_5CN + H_2O$

Solution

(C) The reaction of benzaldehyde with concentrated $NaOH$ is a Cannizzaro reaction.
In this reaction,two molecules of a non-enolizable aldehyde undergo base-induced disproportionation to form a primary alcohol and a carboxylic acid salt.
Benzaldehyde,being a non-enolizable aldehyde,reacts with concentrated $NaOH$ to produce benzyl alcohol and sodium benzoate.
Therefore,option $(C)$ is correct.

C
$CH_3CH_2CH=C(CH_3)CHO$
D
$CH_3CH_2CH=C(CH_3)CO_2H$

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Aldol condensation of $CH_3CH_2CHO$ (propanal) in the presence of $NaOH$ gives $\beta$-hydroxy aldehyde,which upon heating $( \Delta, H^{\oplus} )$ undergoes dehydration to form an $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated aldehyde: $CH_3CH_2CH=C(CH_3)CHO$.
Step $2$: The final step involves hydrogenation using $H_2/Ni$ at $573 \ K$. This reagent reduces both the carbon-carbon double bond and the aldehyde group to a primary alcohol.
Thus,the final product $(P)$ is $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH(CH_3)CH_2OH$.

(B) $MnO_2$ is a mild oxidizing agent and does not oxidize ketones like $CH_3COCH_3$ to carboxylic acids.
$(b)$ $Ph-CCl_3$ undergoes hydrolysis with aqueous $NaOH$ followed by acidification to form benzoic acid $(PhCOOH)$. This is a correct reaction.
$(c)$ Alkyl halides react with $Mg$ to form Grignard reagents $(RMgX)$,which react with $CO_2$ followed by hydrolysis to yield carboxylic acids. This is a correct reaction.
$(d)$ Vigorous oxidation of internal alkenes like $CH_3CH=CHCH_3$ with acidified $K_2Cr_2O_7$ cleaves the double bond to form two molecules of acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$. This is a correct reaction.

Solution

(B) In a standard $NaCl$ crystal structure,$Na^{+}$ ions occupy the octahedral voids (edge centres and body centre) and $Cl^{-}$ ions occupy the $FCC$ lattice points (corners and face centres).
However,based on the specific distribution provided in the question:
$Na^{+}$ ions at corners $(8 \times \frac{1}{8} = 1)$ and face centres $(6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 3)$,total $Na^{+} = 1 + 3 = 4$.
$Cl^{-}$ ions at edge centres $(12 \times \frac{1}{4} = 3)$ and body centre $(1 \times 1 = 1)$,total $Cl^{-} = 3 + 1 = 4$.
Since there are $4$ $Na^{+}$ ions and $4$ $Cl^{-}$ ions per unit cell,the number of $NaCl$ formula units is $4$.

(C) When $C_6H_5CN$ reacts with $Na / C_2H_5OH$,$C_6H_5CN$ undergoes reduction and the $-C \equiv N$ group changes to $-CH_2-NH_2$. Thus,the product $(P)$ is $C_6H_5CH_2NH_2$ (Benzylamine).
The reaction occurs as follows:
$C_6H_5CN + 4[H] \rightarrow C_6H_5CH_2NH_2$
When $C_6H_5CN$ reacts with $(i)$ $HCl$ (conc. cold) and (ii) $Br_2 / KOH$,it follows the partial hydrolysis of nitrile to amide,followed by the Hoffmann-Bromamide degradation reaction. The final product $(Q)$ is aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$.
The whole reaction is as follows:
$C_6H_5CN$ $\xrightarrow{H_2O, OH^{-}} C_6H_5CONH_2$ $\xrightarrow{Br_2 / KOH} C_6H_5NH_2$

In this reaction,the diazonium cation acts as an electrophile.
The $-NH_2$ group is a strong activating group and is ortho/para directing.

Solution

(D) The reaction of $R-C \equiv N$ with $H_3O^+$ (acidic hydrolysis) typically requires heating to proceed to the carboxylic acid stage. Under mild conditions,it often stops at the amide stage $(R-CONH_2)$. Thus,statement $(A)$ is generally considered incorrect as it implies a simple,mild reaction.
When alkyl cyanide $(R-C \equiv N)$ is hydrolysed in an alkaline aqueous medium,it undergoes hydrolysis to form a carboxylate salt $(R-COO^-Na^+)$ and ammonia $(NH_3)$. Thus,statement $(B)$ is correct.

A
$0.03$
B
$0.75$
C
$0.30$
D

Solution

(D) Gold number is defined as the minimum mass of a protective colloid in $mg$ that prevents the coagulation of $10 \ mL$ of a gold sol when $1 \ mL$ of $10 \% NaCl$ solution is added to it.
Given,the gold number of Haemoglobin $= 0.03$.
This means $0.03 \ mg$ of Haemoglobin is required to protect $10 \ mL$ of gold sol against $1 \ mL$ of $10 \% NaCl$.
For $50 \ mL$ of gold sol,the amount of protective colloid required is $5 \times 0.03 \ mg = 0.15 \ mg$.
Since the amount of $NaCl$ added is $5 \ mL$ (which is $5 \times$ the standard amount),the protection required is proportional to the volume of the gold sol.
Thus,the mass of Haemoglobin required is $0.15 \ mg$.

C
$k = \frac{[R_0] - \frac{1}{2}[R_0]}{t_{1/2}}$
D
$k = \frac{2.303}{(t_2 - t_1)} \log [R_0]$

Solution

(C) For a zero-order reaction,the integrated rate equation is given as:
$k = \frac{[R_0] - [R]}{t}$
where $k$ is the rate constant,$[R_0]$ is the initial concentration,and $[R]$ is the concentration at time $t$.
At half-life time,$t = t_{1/2}$,the concentration of the reactant is $[R] = \frac{[R_0]}{2}$.
Substituting these values into the rate equation:
$k = \frac{[R_0] - \frac{[R_0]}{2}}{t_{1/2}}$
Thus,the correct expression is $k = \frac{[R_0] - \frac{1}{2}[R_0]}{t_{1/2}}$.
Hence,option $(C)$ is the correct answer.

Pressure after time $t$: $(100-x), \ x, \ x$.

Using the first-order rate equation: $k = \frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{p_i}{p_f}$.
$1.0 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{2.303}{2302.8} \log \frac{100}{100-x}$.
$\log \frac{100}{100-x} = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 2302.8}{2.303} \approx 1$.
$\frac{100}{100-x} = 10^1 = 10$.
$100 = 1000 - 10x \implies 10x = 900 \implies x = 90 \ atm$.
Partial pressure of $O_3 = 100 - 90 = 10 \ atm$.
Partial pressure of $O_2 = 90 \ atm$.
Partial pressure of $O = 90 \ atm$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

The first order decomposition of $H_2O_2$ in an appropriate medium is characterised by a rate constant of $0.2303 \ min^{-1}$. What is the time (in $min$) required to complete $9/10$ fraction of the reaction?
A
$0.1$
B
$10$
C
$100$
D
$0.01$

Solution

(B) Given,rate constant $(k)$ for first order $= 0.2303 \ min^{-1}$.
For a first order reaction,the time $(t)$ is given by:
$t = \frac{2.303}{k} \log \left( \frac{a}{a-x} \right)$
where $a$ is the initial concentration and $x$ is the amount reacted.
Let the initial concentration $(a) = 1$.
Given that the fraction completed is $9/10$,so $x = 0.9$.
The remaining concentration $(a-x) = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1$.
Substituting the values into the equation:
$t = \frac{2.303}{0.2303} \log \left( \frac{1}{0.1} \right)$
$t = 10 \log(10)$
Since $\log(10) = 1$,we get $t = 10 \times 1 = 10 \ min$.
Therefore,the correct option is $(b)$.

When the temperature of a reaction is raised by $10^{\circ}C$,how many times the rate will be enhanced?
A
$1.5$
B
$3$
C
$2$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) For most chemical reactions,the rate constant approximately doubles when the temperature is increased by $10^{\circ}C$.
This is known as the temperature coefficient,which is defined as the ratio of rate constants at temperatures differing by $10^{\circ}C$ (usually at $T+10$ and $T$).
Mathematically,$\text{Temperature Coefficient} = \frac{k_{T+10}}{k_T} \approx 2$ to $3$.
In standard textbook problems,this value is typically taken as $2$.

Which one of the following is used to obtain the maximum percentage of terminal alkene by dehydrohalogenation of $CH_3CH_2C(CH_3)_2Br$?
A
Sodium ethoxide in ethanol
B
Potassium ethoxide in ethanol
C
Potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol
D
Potassium alkoxide derived from $3$-ethyl-$3$-pentanol in $HO^{-}C(C_2H_5)_3$

Solution

(D) To obtain the maximum percentage of the terminal alkene (Hoffman product) in a dehydrohalogenation reaction,a bulky base is required.
Steric hindrance prevents the base from abstracting a proton from the more substituted $\beta$-carbon,favoring the abstraction of a proton from the less substituted $\beta$-carbon.
Among the given options,the potassium alkoxide derived from $3$-ethyl-$3$-pentanol,which is $(C_2H_5)_3CO^-K^+$,is the bulkiest base.
Therefore,it will yield the highest percentage of the terminal alkene.

The elements with highest and lowest electron gain enthalpy in group $16$ respectively are
A
$O ; Te$
B
$O ; Po$
C
$S ; O$
D
$S ; Te$

Solution

(C) In group $16$,the electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we move down the group due to an increase in atomic size.
However,oxygen $(O)$ has an exceptionally low electron gain enthalpy due to its small size and strong inter-electronic repulsions.
Therefore,sulfur $(S)$ has the highest (most negative) electron gain enthalpy,and polonium $(Po)$ or tellurium $(Te)$ depending on the context,but generally,oxygen is the lowest in the group.
Comparing the options,sulfur $(S)$ has the highest and oxygen $(O)$ has the lowest electron gain enthalpy in group $16$.
Thus,option $(C)$ is correct.

Assertion $(A)$: While going from left to right in the periodic table,the atomic size decreases more rapidly for the $3d$-series compared to the $4f$-series of elements.
Reason $(R)$: $3d$-electrons experience lesser shielding than $4f$-electrons.
A
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
B
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct,but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
C
$(A)$ is correct but $(R)$ is not correct
D
$(A)$ is not correct but $(R)$ is correct

Solution

(A) In the periodic table,as we move from left to right,the atomic size decreases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
For the $4f$-series (lanthanoids),the decrease in atomic size is less pronounced due to the poor shielding effect of $4f$-electrons,which leads to lanthanoid contraction.
Conversely,the $3d$-series elements show a more rapid decrease in atomic size compared to the $4f$-series because $3d$-electrons provide better shielding than $4f$-electrons,but the overall effective nuclear charge increase is more dominant in the $3d$ transition series.
Therefore,both Assertion $(A)$ and Reason $(R)$ are correct,and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.

C
$Gd(OH)_3 < Nd(OH)_3 < Ce(OH)_3$
D
$Ce(OH)_3 < Gd(OH)_3 < Nd(OH)_3$

Solution

(C) Due to lanthanide contraction,the ionic radius of lanthanide ions $(Ln^{3+})$ decreases as the atomic number increases from $Ce$ $(Z=58)$ to $Gd$ $(Z=64)$.
As the size of the $Ln^{3+}$ ion decreases,the covalent character of the $Ln-OH$ bond increases according to Fajan's rule.
Consequently,the basic strength of the hydroxides decreases as we move from $Ce(OH)_3$ to $Gd(OH)_3$.
Therefore,the correct increasing order of basic character is $Gd(OH)_3 < Nd(OH)_3 < Ce(OH)_3$.

Consider the systems having liquid-solid interface,$(A)$ copper wire in silver nitrate solution and $(B)$ silver wire in copper sulphate solution. Predict which interface will show spontaneous reaction,if $E_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}^{\circ} = 0.34 \ V$ and $E_{Ag^{+}/Ag}^{\circ} = 0.80 \ V$?
A
Copper-silver nitrate interface
B
Silver-copper sulphate interface
C
There will be no spontaneous reaction
D
Both interfaces will give spontaneous reaction

Solution

(A) reaction is spontaneous if the standard cell potential $E^{\circ}_{cell}$ is positive,which corresponds to a negative Gibbs free energy change $\Delta G^{\circ} = -nFE^{\circ}_{cell}$.
For system $(A)$: $Cu(s) + 2Ag^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2Ag(s)$.
$E^{\circ}_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cathode} - E^{\circ}_{anode} = E^{\circ}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} - E^{\circ}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} = 0.80 \ V - 0.34 \ V = 0.46 \ V$.
Since $E^{\circ}_{cell} > 0$,the reaction is spontaneous.
For system $(B)$: $Ag(s) + Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Ag^{+}(aq) + Cu(s)$.
$E^{\circ}_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} - E^{\circ}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = 0.34 \ V - 0.80 \ V = -0.46 \ V$.
Since $E^{\circ}_{cell} < 0$,the reaction is non-spontaneous.
Therefore,the copper-silver nitrate interface shows a spontaneous reaction.

Solution

(D) The half-cell reaction is: $O_{2(g)} + 4H^+_{(aq)} + 4e^- \rightarrow 2H_2O_{(l)}$
For $HA \rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-$,$[H^+] = \sqrt{K_a \times C} = \sqrt{10^{-4} \times 1} = 10^{-2} \ M$.
Using the Nernst equation: $E = E^{\circ} - \frac{0.0592}{n} \log \frac{1}{P_{O_2} [H^+]^4}$.
Here,$n = 4$,$P_{O_2} = 1 \ atm$,and $[H^+] = 10^{-2} \ M$.
$E = 1.23 - \frac{0.0592}{4} \log \frac{1}{1 \times (10^{-2})^4}$.
$E = 1.23 - \frac{0.0592}{4} \log (10^8)$.
$E = 1.23 - \frac{0.0592}{4} \times 8$.
$E = 1.23 - 0.0592 \times 2 = 1.23 - 0.1184 = 1.1116 \ V \approx 1.112 \ V$.

$E=E^{\circ}-\frac{R T}{n F} \ln \frac{[A]}{[P]}$

Solution

(B) The Nernst equation is given by:
$E = E^{\circ} - \frac{R T}{n F} \ln \frac{[P]}{[A]}$
Rearranging the equation:
$E - E^{\circ} = -\frac{R T}{n F} \ln \frac{[P]}{[A]}$
$E - E^{\circ} = \frac{R T}{n F} \ln \frac{[A]}{[P]}$
Multiplying by $\frac{n F}{R T}$:
$\frac{n F}{R T} (E - E^{\circ}) = \ln \frac{[A]}{[P]}$
Taking the exponential of both sides:
$\frac{[A]}{[P]} = \exp \left(\frac{n F}{R T} (E - E^{\circ})\right)$
Thus,option $B$ is the correct answer.
