For Questions number 13 to 16, two statements are given one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other
labelled as Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (A), (B), (C) and
(D) as given below.

(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the
Assertion (A).

(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the
Assertion (A).

(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true

13. Assertion (A) When NaCl is added to water a depression in freezing point is observed.

Reason (R) NaCl undergoes dissociation in water

14. Assertion (A): Separation of Zr and Hf is difficult.

Reason (R) Zr and Hf have similar radii due to lanthanoid contraction.

15. Assertion (A) The pk, of ethanoic acid is lower than that of CI-CH2-COOH.

Reason (R) Chlorine shows electron withdrawing (-1) effect which increases the acidic character of Cl-
CH2-COOH

16. Assertion (A): Aniline is a stronger base than ammonia.

Reason (R): The unshared electron pair on nitrogen atom in aniline becomes less available for
protonation due to resonance.

29) Batteries and fuel cells are very useful forms of galvanic cell. Any battery or cell that we use as a
source of electrical energy is basically a galvanic cell. However, for a battery to be of practical use it
should be reasonably light, compact and its voltage should not vary appreciably during its use. There are
mainly two types of batteries secondary batteries. primary batteries and
In the primary batteries, the reaction occurs only once and after use over a period of time the battery
becomes dead and cannot be reused again, whereas the secondary batteries are rechargeable.
Production of electricity by thermal plants is not a very efficient method and is a major source of
pollution. To solve this problem, galvanic cells are designed in such a way that energy of combustion of
fuels is directly converted into electrical energy, and these are known as fuel cells. One such fuel cell was
used in the Apollo space programme.
Answer the following questions:
(a) How do primary batteries differ from secondary batteries?
(b) The cell potential of Mercury cell is 1-35 V, and remains constant during its life. Give reason.

OR
(c) Write two advantages of fuel cells over other galvanic cells.
30) The Valence Bond Theory (VBT) explains the formation, magnetic behavior and geometrical shapes
of coordination compounds whereas The Crystal Field Theory' for coordination compounds is based
on the effect of different crystal fields (provided by ligands taken as point charges), on the
degeneracy of d-orbital energies of the central metal atom/ion. The splitting of the d-orbitals
provides different electronic arrangements in strong and weak crystal fields. The crystal field theory
attributes the colour of the coordination compounds to d-d transition of the electron. Coordination
compounds find extensive applications in metallurgical processes, analytical and medicinal chemistry
Answer the following questions:
(a) What is crystal field splitting energy?
(b) Give reason for the violet colour of the complex [Ti (H2O) 6] 3+ on the basis of crystal field theory
