1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :
Le-Chatelier’s principle allows us to predict the effects of changes in temperature, pressure and concentration on a system at equilibrium. It states that if a system at equilibrium experiences a change, the system will shift its equilibrium to try to compensate for the change.
Increasing the volume has the same effect as decreasing the pressure and vice-versa. When we increase the pressure, the system will shift so the least number of gas molecules are formed because the more gas molecules there are, the more collisions there are. These collisions and the presence of gas molecules are what cause the pressure to increase. Likewise, when we decrease the pressure, the system will shift so the higher number of gas molecules are produced.
A reaction is endothermic if it takes heat from its surroundings. On the other hand, a reaction is exothermic if it gives heat to the surroundings. If we increase the temperature, then the endothermic reaction will be favoured because that will take in some of the excess heat. If we decrease the temperature, the exothermic reaction will be favoured because it will produce the heat that was lost. A catalyst increases the speed in which a reaction takes place, however it never has any effect on the equilibrium.

10. Discuss the trend of ionisation energy of the elements of group 14.
Answer : Ionization energy of carbon is quite high due to small size of the carbon atom. It then decreases to silicon due to the increase in size of silicon atom. Then there is a decrease in ionization energy from Si to Sn. This is because the ‘d’ electrons which are present in the inner configuration of Ge, and Sn shield the nuclear charge less effectively than is done by s-and p-electrons. The outer electrons are held strongly by the nucleus and there is only a small decrease in ionization energy
as we move from Si to Sn. In the case of Pb, there is only a marginal increase of atomic radius as we move from Sn to Pb and also there are f-electrons in the inner configuration which shield the nuclear charge less effectively than the d-electrons. So, the ionization energy instead of decreasing, shows a marginal increase.

On combustion Li forms Li2O; sodium gives the peroxide, Na2O2; and potassium, rubidium and caesium give superoxides, MO2. Why Li does not form a peroxide?
Answer : 

CBSE Class 11 Chemistry Term 2 Sample Paper

The normal oxides contain O2– ion, the peroxides contain O22– ion and superoxides contain O2 ion. The peroxides and superoxides become more stable with increase in atomic number of the alkali metal. The formation and stability of these oxides can be explained on the basis of lattice energy effects. Li+ ion being a small ion has a strong positive field around it and can stabilise only a small anion, O2 whereas Na+ being a large cation can stabilise a large ion and so on.

Answer : If the given compound follows Markownikoff’s rule,

CBSE Class 11 Chemistry Term 2 Sample Paper

The carbocation produced in step-1 is highly unstable due to strong electron withdrawing group, hence it does not follow Markownikoff’s rule.

An alkene ‘A’ contains three C—C, eight C—H σ bonds and one C—C π bond. ‘A’ on ozonolysis gives two
moles of an aldehyde of molar mass 44 u. Write IUPAC name of ‘A’.
Answer : Alkene A contains 3C—C, 8C—H and one C = C bonds. An aldehyde containing one —CHO group and having molar mass of 44 amu has to be CH3CHO and since two moles of CH3CHO are obtained by ozonolysis of alkene A, the alkene has to be joined by two CH3CH— groups by a double bond. It has to be CH3—CH = CH—CH3, i.e., but-2-ene. But-2-ene contains 3C—C σ bonds, 8C—H σ bonds and one C = C bond.

13. (a) 22 g of dry ice is placed in an evacuated bottle of 1 litre capacity and tightly stoppered. What would be the pressure inside the bottle, when it is heated to 37°C?
(b) 3.12 g of sulphur is vapourised at 427°C and 760 mm pressure, when the vapours occupy a volume of 700 mL. Find the molecular formula of sulphur. (atomic mass of sulphur = 32).
Answer : (a) W = 22 g CO2, V = 1 L, M = 44, T = 37 + 273 = 310 K, P = ?
Dry ice is solid CO2, which when heated in an evacuated bottle it is converted into gaseous CO2.
From ideal gas equation,

As atomic mass = 32, so no. of atoms in one molecule of sulphur = 255.84/32. = 8

An evacuated glass vessel weighs 50.0 g when empty, 148.0 g when filled with a liquid of density 0.98 g mL–1 and 50.5 g when filled with an ideal gas at 760 mm Hg at 300 K. Determine the molar mass of the gas.
Answer : From the given data, we have,
Weight of the liquid = (148 – 50 g) = 98 g
Volume of the liquid = 98/0.98 = 100 mL = Volume of vessel
∴ The vessel of 100 mL contains ideal gas at 760 mm of Hg and 300 K.
Now weight of the gas = (50.5 – 50) = 0.5 g
Using ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, we get,

14. (a) Which hydrocarbon can’t be prepared by Kolbe’s electrolytic method?
C2H6, C2H4, CH4
(b) What happens when sodium acetate is heated with sodalime?
(c) An alkene (C5H10) on ozonolysis yielded two products. Both of them gave iodoform test, but only one responds to Tollen’s test. Identify the hydrocarbon.
Answer : (a) CH4 (methane) can’t be prepared by Kolbe’s electrolytic method, as in this method two alkyl radicals join together at anode.
(b) Methane gas is produced, when sodium acetate is heated with sodalime.
CH3—COONa + NaOH →CaO CH4 + Na2CO3
     Sodium acetate                Methane
(c) The ozonolysis products of the alkene respond to iodoform test, but one of them only responds to Tollen’s test. This shows one is acetaldehyde (which responds to both iodoform and Tollen’s test) and the other is 2-ketone (which responds only to iodoform test).
As the molecular formula of hydrocarbon is C5H10, so the ketone is acetone (CH3—CO—CH3). Hence the hydrocarbon is 2-methyl-but-2-ene.

16. (a) (i) What are the products formed when alkali metal oxide (M2O), peroxide (M2O2) and superoxide (MO2) hydrolysed by water?
(ii) List two properties showing similarity between lithium and magnesium.
(b) (i) Mg form Mg2+, but Na2+ does not exist. Explain.
(ii) Write balanced equations for the reactions between :
(I) Na2O2 and H2O
(II) KO2 and H2O.
Answer : (a) (i) Alkali metal oxide, peroxide and superoxide are easily hydrolysed by water to form the hydroxides according to the following reactions:
M2O + H2O → 2M+ + 2OH
M2O2 + 2H2O → 2M+ + 2OH + H2O2
2MO2 + 2H2O → 2M+ + 2OH + H2O2 + O2
(ii) Both lithium and magnesium are harder and lighter than other elements in respective groups.
The oxides, Li2O and MgO do not combine with excess oxygen to give any superoxide.
(b) (i) Mg atom after losing one electron does not attain noble gas configuration whereas Na metal after  the loss of one electron attains a noble gas configuration of neon. Therefore, the removal of second electron is energetically not favorable. Hence, Na2+ does not exist.
(ii) (I) Na2O2 + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2O2
(II) 2KO2 + 2H2O → 2KOH + H2O2 + O2

(c) A suspension of magnesium hydroxide in water is called milk of magnesia. It is used as an antacid to  neutralize excess of acid in the stomach.
(d) Because the fluorides are relatively less soluble than the chlorides owing to their high lattice energies.
(e) Beryllium carbonate is unstable and can be kept only in the atmosphere of CO2
BeCO3 → BeO + CO2
