Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key- Previous Year’s Repeated Questions

Section A

Q.1: Arrange the following compounds in the increasing order of their property indicated.

i) Acetaldehyde, Benzaldehyde, Acetophenone, Acetone(Reactivity towards HCN)

Answer. Acetaldehyde<Acetone<Benzaldehyde<Acetophenone

iii) CH3CH2OH, CH3CHO, CH3COOH (Boiling point)

Answer.  CH3COOH<CH3CH2OH<CH3CHO

Q.2: In a plot of m against the square root of concentration (C12) for strong and weak electrolytes, the value of limiting molar conductivity of a weak electrolyte cannot be obtained graphically. Suggest a way to obtain this value. Also state the related law, if any.

Yes, we can do it by Kohlrausch’s law.

Kohlrausch’s law:  a statement in physical chemistry: the migration of an ion at infinite dilution is dependent on the nature of the solvent and on the potential gradient but not on the other ions present.

Q.3: Write reasons for the following statements : 

(i) Benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.

No, benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel Craft reaction because the carboxylic group is deactivating and the Lewis acid catalyst and carboxylic group are bonded.

(ii) Oxidation of aldehydes is easier than that of ketones.

oxidation of aldenyde is easier than ketone due to presence of H-atoms linked to carbonyl group carbon which is absent in ketones.

Section B

Q.4: Write reasons for the following: 

(i) Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is insoluble. 

Ethylamine when added to water forms intermolecular H−bonds with water. Hence it is soluble in water. But aniline Can form H−bonding with water to a very small extent due to the presence of a large hydrophobic −C6H5 group. Hence aniline is insoluble in water.

(ii) Amino group is o- and p-directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, but aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline. 

Nitration is carried out in an acidic medium. In an acidic medium, aniline is protonated to give anilinium ion (which is meta-directing).

Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_24.1

For this reason, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.

(iii) Amines behave as nucleophiles.

A nucleophile is a substance that is attracted to, and then attacks, a positive or slightly positive part of another molecule or ion. All amines contain an active lone pair of electrons on the very electronegative nitrogen atom. It is these electrons that are attracted to positive parts of other molecules or ions.

OR 

b) How will you carry out the following conversions:

i) Nitrobenzene to Aniline 

Nitrobenzene is reduced to aniline by Sn and concentrated HCl. Instead of Sn, Zn or Fe also can be used. Aniline salt is given from this reaction. Then aqueous NaOH is added to the aniline salt to get released aniline. This reaction is called nitrobenzene reduction.

  • Benzene is a clear, colourless, highly flammable and volatile, liquid compound.
  • Aniline is a yellowish to brownish oily liquid with a musty fishy odour organic compound.

ii) Ethanamide to Methanamine

Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_26.1

React ethanamine with nitrous acid to form an azo compound, which further reacts with water to form ethanol, which on oxidising gives ethanoic acid. After treating with an excess of ammonia the ethanoic acid becomes ethanamide, which on further reacting with Bomine and a strong base (Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction) to form methenamine.

iii) Ethanenitrile to Ethanamine 

it’s simple
reduction of nitriles with lithium aluminium hydride or catalytic hydrogenation produce primary amines. the reaction is

CH3C≡N + H2/Ni OR LiAlH4 →  CH3CH2NH2

Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_30.1

Since CN is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired electrons. Therefore, there is only one unpaired electron left in the d-orbital.

Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_31.1

Therefore,

Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_32.1

On the other hand, H2O is a weak field ligand. Therefore, it cannot cause the pairing of electrons. This means that the number of unpaired electrons is 5.

Therefore,

Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_33.1

Thus, it is evident that Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_28.1is strongly paramagnetic, while Class 12 Chemistry Answer Key 2024 Out, For Set 1, 2, 3_29.1is weakly paramagnetic.

(iii) Write the number of ions produced from the complex [Co(NH3)6]C12 in solution.

Q.6 (i) Which ion amongst the following is colourless and why?

Ti4+, Cr3+, V3+

(Atomic number of Ti = 22, Cr = 24, V = 23)

Ti is colourless because it is having no unpaired ee- for excitation to higher energy level and it is colourless.

(ii) Why is Mn²+ much more resistant than Fe²+ towards oxidation?

Mn2+ is much more resistant than Fe2+ towards oxidationAs Mn2+ has stable configuration hence it is resistant towards oxidation. while in Fe2+ electronic configuration is 3d6 so it can lose one electron to give stable configuration 3d5.

(iii) Highest oxidation state of a metal is shown in its oxide or fluoride only. Justify the statement.

The highest oxidation state of a metal is exhibited in its oxide or fluoride only. This is because fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)are the most electronegative elements and the highest oxidation state shown by any transition element is +8.

Q.9 (b)  (i) Write the IUPAC name for the following organic compound:  (CH3CH2)2NCH3

it is a tertiary amine, and the parent chain is ethanamine. IUPAC name is N – Ethyl – N- methyl ethanamine.

(ii) Write the equations for the following: 

(I) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis

Gabriel Phthalimide Synthesis Mechanism has 3 steps. The Synthesis is used to get primary amines from primary alkyl halides and is named after the German scientist Siegmund Gabriel.

The reaction has been generalized for applications in the alkylation of sulfonamides and imides & their deprotection in order to obtain amines. Alkylation of ammonia is quite inefficient, therefore it is substituted with phthalimide anion in the Gabriel synthesis.

(II) Hoffmann bromamide degradation 

When an amide is treated with bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide, degradation of amide takes place leading to the formation of primary amine. This reaction involving degradation of amide and is popularly known as Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction. The primary amine thus formed contains one carbon less than the number of carbon atoms in that amide.

RCONH2 +Br2 + 4NaOH

R-NH2 + Na2CO3 + 2NaBr + 2H2O

Q.11(a) i) Silver atom has completely filled d-orbitals in its ground state, it is still considered to be a transition element. Justify the statement. 

Silver (Ag) belongs to group 11 of d-block and its ground state electronic configuration is 4d10 5s1. It shows an oxidation state of +2 in its compounds like AgO and AgF2 in which its electronic configuration is d9 so it is a transition element.

ii) Why are E° values of Mn and Zn more negative than expected? 

Negative E° values of Mn2+ and Zn2+ are because of the stabilities of half-filled (3d5 : Mn2+)and fullyfilled (3d10 : Zn2+) configuration respectively. Ni2+ ion has higher E°  value due to highest negative enthalpy of hydration.

iii) Why do transition metals form alloys?

Transition metals have very similar atomic sizes. One metal can easily replace the other metal from its lattice to form solid solution (alloy). Transition metals are miscible with one another in the molten state. The molten state solution of two or more transition metals on cooling forms alloy.
