(b) -1·2 ∆o
(c) -0·8 ∆o
(d) -0·6 ∆o
(iii) Acidified K2Cr2O7 solution turns green when Na2SO3 is added to it. This
is due to formation of:
(a) CrO4
2-
(b) Cr2(SO3)3
(c) Cr2O3
(d) Cr2(SO4)3
(iv) Which of the following product is formed when benzene diazonium
chloride is reduced by hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2) in the presence of
cuprous ion as catalyst?
(a) Phenol
(b) Aniline
(c) Benzene
(d) Benzene cyanide
(v) Which of the following aqueous solution has lowest vapour pressure?
(a) 1M NaCl
(b) 1M K2SO4
(c) 1M Glucose
(d) 1M Sucrose
(vi) Assertion: Adding water to two beakers ‘A’ and ‘B’ containing NaOH
and CH3COOH solutions respectively will increase the molar
conductance (ꓥm) of the solutions sharply in beaker ‘A’ and
slowly in beaker ‘B’.
Reason: Molar conductance (ꓥm) increases with a decrease in
concentration or upon dilution.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct
explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but Reason is true.
(vii) Assertion: Aniline is soluble in HCl while it is only slightly soluble in
water.
Reason: Aniline cannot make hydrogen bonds with water but gets
protonated easily by acids.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct
explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but Reason is true
