Q.56 to Q.60 carry two marks each, for which one or more than one options may be correct. Marking of
correct options will lead to a maximum mark of two on pro rata basis. There will be no negative marking for these questions. However, any marking of wrong option will lead to award of zero mark against
the respective question irrespective of the number of correct options marked.

56. Cupric compounds are more stable than their cuprous counterparts in solid state. This is because
(A)

the endothermic character of the 2nd I P of Cu is not so high

(B)

size of Cu2+ is less than Cu+

(C)

Cu2+ has stabler electronic configuration as compared to Cu

(D)

the lattice energy released for cupric compounds is much higher than Cu+

Ans : (A, B, D)
Hints : Actually 2nd IP of Cu (1958 kJ/mol) is not very high as compared to 1st IP (745 kJ/mol). In addition the gain in
lattice energy due to +2 state and small size f Cu favour the divalent state in the solid.
57. Among the following statements about the m lec les X and Y, the one (s) which is (are) correct is (are)

(A)

X and Y are diastereomers

Y
(B) X and Y are enantiomers

(C)

X and Y are both aldohexoses

(D) X is a D-sugar and Y is an L-sugar

Ans : (B, C, D)
Hints : X and Y are mirror images of each other. They are aldohexoses too. In X, OH of the asymmetric C farthest
from CHO is on the right, so it is D-Sugar. Y , on the other hand, has OH on the left. Thus it is a L-sugar.
58. For a spontaneous process, the correct statement(s) is (are)
(A)

(Gsystem)T, P>0

(B)

(Gsystem)T, P<0

(D)

(Ssystem) + (Ssurroundings) > 0

(C)

(Usystem)T, V > 0

Ans : (B, C)

Hints : Spontaneity of of the process can be expressed either by taking entropy changes of system and surrounding
together or by considering free energy change of the system alone at constant temperature and pressure. The known
criteria are : (Gsys)T, P < 0 and (Ssys) + (Ssur)> 0

Chemistry

59. The formal potential of Fe3+/Fe2+ in a sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid mixture (E=+0.61V) is much lower than the
standard potential (E=+0.77V). This is due to
(A)
(C)

formation of the species [FeHPO4]+

formation of the species [FeSO4]

(B) lowering of potential upon complexation

(D) high acidity of the medium

Ans : (A, B, D)
Hints : Formation of complex by Fe3+ reduces its concentration. Thereby lowers the formal reduction potential.
60. Two gases X (Mol. Wt. Mx) and Y(Mol. Wt. MY; MY > Mx) are at the same temperature T in two different containers.
Their root mean square velocities are CX and CY respectively. If the average kinetic energies per molecule of two gases
X and Y are Ex and EY respectively, then which of the following relation (s) is (are) true?
(A)

Ex > EY

(C)

Ex = EY =

(B) C x > CY

Ans : (B, D)

Hints : For same temperature, higher the molar mass, lower is the rms velocity.KE of individual molecules is
expressed in terms of KB not R
