Answer any 3 questions from 1 to 6. (2 score each)

1.What are the major compounds responsible for acid rain? What are the harmful effects of
acid rain?
Ans: Acid Rain :- The PH of rain water drops below 5.6 due to the presence of H+ ion
formed by the reaction of rain water with CO2,SO2,NO2.
Adverse effect of acid rain:- It damages buildings and structures made by stones and
metals.
It badly affects agriculture
It corrodes underground pipes
2.i) Write the major product formed when propene reacts with HBr?
ii) Name and state the rule behind this product.
Ans: 2. i) 2-Bromopropane (1 mark )
ii)Markovnikov’s rule (1 mark ), Statement (1 mark )
3.What is Friedel-Craft’s Alkylation reaction?
Ans: Friedel-Craft’s Alkylation reaction:

Benzene is treated with alkyl halide in presence of anhydrous AlCl3 to give alkyl
benzene.
4. Briefly explain functional isomerism shown by organic compounds with suitable

examples.
Ans: Compounds having the same molecular formula, but there is a difference in the
functional group are called functional isomers and this phenomenon is called
functional isomerism
downloaded from HSS REPORTER

Functional isomers….1mark
Example: CH3-O-CH3 and CH3-CH2-OH ….1 mark
5.Why does benzene undergo electrophilic substitution reactions easily and nucleophilic
substitutions with difficulty?
Ans: Due to the presence of an electron cloud containing 6 n-electrons above and
below the plane of the ring, benzene is a rich source of electrons. Consequently, it
attracts the electrophiles (electron-deficient) reagents towards it and repels
nucleophiles (electron- rich) reagents. As a result, benzene undergoes electrophilic
substitution reactions easily and nucleophilic substitutions with difficulty.
6. Write all the possible chain isomers of the compound with molecular formula C 5H12?
Ans:
Answer any 4 questions from 7 to 14 (3 score each)
7. i) How are the following conversions carried out

a) n- hexane to 2- methyl pentane
b) n- hexane to benzene
ii)Write the name of the above reactions
Ans: a) In presence of AlCl3/ HCl (1 mark)
b) In presence of Cr2O3/ V2O5 / Mo2O3 (1 mark)
ii) (a) Isomerization, (b) Aromatization (1 mark each)
8.Explain Wurtz reaction with an example.
Ans: Alkyl halides react with metallic sodium in dry ether to form alkanes.
2 R-X + 2Na (dry ether) → R-R + 2NaX
(This is used to step up the series.)
9. i) Draw the Newman projections of the staggered and eclipsed conformations of ethane?
ii) Which is the most stable conformation of ethane? Explain.
Ans(i)

ii)Staggered (1 mark ) , minimum repulsion/ Torsional strain (1 mark )
10.What is ozonolysis? Write the names of the products obtained when propene undergoes
ozonolysis?
Ans: Ozonolysis is an organic reaction where the unsaturated bonds of
alkenes, alkynes, or azo compounds are cleaved with ozone.
11.What is metamerism? Write the metamers of C4H1OO

Ans: Isomers which differ in the carbon chain (alkyl groups)
around the functional group
called metamers and the phenomenon is called metamerism.
The metamers of C4H10O are CH3 -O-CH2-CH2-CH3 and CH3-
CH2-O-CH2-CH3.
12.Explain hyperconjugation with an example.

Ans: Hyperconjugation is a general stabilizing interaction. It involves delocalization of
σ electrons of C—H bond of an alkyl group directly attached to an atom of unsaturated
system or to an atom with an unshared p orbital. The σ electrons of C—H bond of the
alkyl group enter into partial conjugation with the attached unsaturated system or
with the unshared p orbital. Hyperconjugation is a permanent effect.
13.Explain electrophiles and nucleophiles with suitable examples.
Ans: Electrophiles are electron deficient species and can accept an electron pair
from electron rich species. Examples include carbocations and carbonyl
compounds.
A nucleophile is electron rich species and donates electron pairs to electron

deficient species. Examples include carbanions, water, ammonia, cyanide ion etc.
14.Write the IUPAC names of the following compounds

Ans: a) 3-Ethyl-4-methylhexane
b) 4-Ethyl-2-methylaniline
c) Butanone
Answer any 3 questions from 15 to 20 (4 score each)
15. Atmospheric pollution increases the global average temperature and the phenomenon is
called Global warming.
(i) What are the major gases which contribute towards global warming?
(ii) What can we do to reduce global warming?
iii) Define the term BOD?
Ans: (i) Global Warming :- Higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
increases the planet temperature known as Global warming.
CO2,CH4,CFC, water vapour are the major gases which contribute towards global warming
Adverse effect of global warming:- It causes flood, drought, heat waves
(ii) Reduce the production of greenhouse gases, Plant tree, use biofuels etc
(iii) Amount of oxygen required by bacteria to break down the organic matter present in a
certain volume of water.
16.What is meant by Green Chemistry? Write any two applications of green chemistry in
day-to-day life.
Ans: Green Chemistry :- It indicate the utilization of existing knowledge for reducing
the chemical hazards along with the developmental activities. Green chemistry in day-
to-day life
(i) Dry cleaning of clothes :- In earlier time the solvent used for dry cleaning is
tetrachloroethane, which contaminate the ground water and are carcinogenic. Now
liquid CO2 or H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) are used for bleaching clothes.
(ii) Bleaching of paper:- In earlier time, chlorine gas was used for bleaching paper. Now
H2O2 is used for bleaching paper in the presence of catalyst.
17.Detection of elements like nitrogen is done using Lassigne’s test. Discuss the chemistry
of Lassigne’s test for the above element.

Ans:
The sodium fusion extract is boiled with ferrous sulphate and acidified with conc.H2SO4
if we get a prussian blue colour which indicate the presence of nitrogen.
18 What is chromatography? explain different types of chromatographic techniques?
Ans: Chromatography is a process for separating components of a mixture.

The different components of the mixture travel through the stationary phase at different
speeds, causing them to separate from one another……..2 marks
Different types of Chromatography are Adsorption Chromatography, Partition
Chromatography …...2 marks
19. Differentiate between kjeldahl’s method and dumas method.
Ans:

Peroxide
Ans:
Peroxide
