- For the rate law \(r=k[\mathrm A]^2[\mathrm B]\), if [A] is doubled and [B] is halved, the rate becomes Answer: C. 2 times r'=k(2[mathrm A])²[mathrm B]/2=2r . 1
- The rate of a reaction doubles when temperature is raised from 300 K to 310 K. The activation energy is approximately (R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1, log 2 = 0.301) Answer: C. 53.6 kJ mol-1 log2=E_a/2.303R·T₂-T₁/T₁T₂⇒ E_a=2.303×8.314×0.301×300×310/10≈53.6 kJ mol⁻¹. 1
- The shape of the XeF4 molecule is Answer: A. square planar Xe has 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs (sp³d²). The lone pairs sit trans to each other, giving a square planar shape. 1
- The oxidation state of sulphur in peroxodisulphuric acid (H2S2O8) is Answer: A. +6 There is one peroxide O–O link (each O −1) and six oxygens at −2: 2+2x-2-12=0⇒ x=+6 . 1
- The spin-only magnetic moment of Fe2+ ion (Z of Fe = 26) is Answer: A. 4.90 BM Fe²⁺ is 3d⁶ with 4 unpaired electrons: μ=√(4×6)=√(24)≈4.90 BM. 1
- In acidic medium, the number of moles of KMnO4 required to oxidise 1 mole of Fe2+ to Fe3+ is Answer: A. 0.2 mathrmMnO₄^-+5Fe²⁺+8H^+→ Mn²⁺+5Fe³⁺+4H₂O ; 1 mol Fe²⁺ needs 1/5 mol MnO₄⁻. 1
- The IUPAC name of [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 is Answer: C. pentaamminechloridocobalt(III) chloride Cation complex: x+0-1=+2⇒ Co(III). Ligands are named alphabetically (ammine before chlori... 1
- [Ni(CN)4]2− is diamagnetic. Its hybridisation and geometry are Answer: D. dsp2, square planar Ni²⁺ is 3d⁸. Strong-field CN⁻ pairs the electrons, leaving one 3d orbital free for dsp² (square planar, diama... 1
- The total number of stereoisomers of [Co(en)2Cl2]+ is Answer: D. 3 Trans form is optically inactive (1); cis form is chiral and exists as a pair of enantiomers (2). Total =3 . 1
- Which of the following undergoes SN1 reaction fastest? Answer: D. (CH3)3CBr S_N1 rate depends on carbocation stability; the tertiary carbocation is the most stable. 1
- Chlorobenzene reacts with methyl chloride and sodium in dry ether. The main product is Answer: C. toluene Wurtz–Fittig reaction: C₆H₅Cl+CH₃Cl+2Na→ C₆H₅CH₃+2NaCl . 1
- Phenol reacts with bromine water to give Answer: B. 2,4,6-tribromophenol In polar water, phenol is strongly activated and is brominated at all o- and p-positions, giving a white pre... 1
- Which alcohol gives turbidity immediately with Lucas reagent at room temperature? Answer: A. 2-methylpropan-2-ol Tertiary alcohols react immediately with conc. HCl/ZnCl₂ through a stable carbocation; 2-methylpropan-2-ol is... 1
- Anisole on heating with HI gives Answer: A. phenol and methyl iodide The O–C(aryl) bond has partial double-bond character and is not cleaved. I⁻ attacks the methyl group (S_... 1
- Which of the following undergoes the Cannizzaro reaction? Answer: D. Benzaldehyde The Cannizzaro reaction needs an aldehyde with no α-hydrogen; benzaldehyde has none. 1
- The strongest acid among the following is Answer: C. Cl3CCOOH Three −I chlorine atoms stabilise the carboxylate ion the most. 1
- Acetophenone on Clemmensen reduction (Zn–Hg / conc. HCl) gives Answer: D. ethylbenzene Clemmensen reduction converts >C=O to >CH₂: C₆H₅COCH₃ → C₆H₅CH₂CH₃. 1
- Which of the following is the strongest base in aqueous solution? Answer: C. (CH3)2NH In water, inductive effect, solvation and steric factors combine to give (CH₃)₂NH > CH₃NH₂ > (CH₃)₃N; aniline is much we... 1
