Solutionsare homogeneous mixtures of two or more non reacting substances (components).
Binary solution: The solution consisting of two components i.e. Solute + solvent. Expressing concentration of solutions:
Mass percentage (w/w): Mass% of a component = W of the component x 100 /W solution
Volume percentage (v/v): Volume% of a component = V of the component x 100 /V of the solution.
Mass by volume percentage (w/v): = W solute x 100/ V solution.
Parts per million (ppm): No of parts of the component x 106 / Total number of parts of in
The solution.
Mole Fraction (x): Mole fraction of a component (x) = No. of moles of the Component /Total no
of moles of all the components.
No. moles of the component (n) = mass (W) / Molar mass (M)
For binary solution, eg. xA = nA / nA + nB ; xB = nB/ nA + nB and xA + xB = 1
Molarity (M): The no. of moles of solute per litre of solution.
Molality (m): The no. of moles of solute per kg of solvent. Molality = n solute / W solvent in kg,Unit
mol kg-1.
Effect of temperature: mass %, mole fraction and molality do not change with temperature wherea
Molarity changes with temperature because volume of solution (liquid) changes with temperature.
Solubility: Solubility of a substance is defined as the maximum amount of substance that can be
Dissolved in a specified amount of solvent to a given temperature.
15
Solubility of a solid in liquid:
Effect of temperature: the solubility of a solid in a liquid changes with temperature.
If the dissolution process is endothermic, the solubility should increase with the rise in temperature
and if Itis exothermic the solubility should decrease with rise in temperature.
Effect of pressure: Solubility of a solid in a liquid does not change with pressure as solids and liquids
are highly incompressible.
Like dissolves like: Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolves in non
polar solvents. In general, a solute dissolves in a solvent if the intermolecular attractions are similar in
both.
Solubility of a gas in liquid:
Increases with increase of pressure.
Decreases with increase of temperature. As dissolution of gas in liquid is an exothermic process, the
solubility should decrease with increase in temperature.
Henry’s law: At constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the
pressure of gas over the solution. Or The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (P) is directly
proportional to the mole fraction of the gas(X) of the solution.
P = kH.X where kH = Henry‘s law constant. It depends on the nature of gas.
Greater the kH value, the lower will be the solubility and vice versa. K H increases with increase in
temperature so solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases with increase of temperature.
Raoult’s law: Raoult’s law in its general form can be stated as, ― For any solution, the partial vapour
pressure of each volatile component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the
solution.According to Raoult’s law for a solution of two volatile liquids,
P1α x 1 , P 2α x2. P1 = Po1 x1, P2 = Po
2 x2.
According toRaoult’s law for a solution containing volatile solvent and non- volatile solute.
P solvent = Posolvent x solvent
Since P solution = P solvent ,
P solution = Posolvent. x solvent.
16
When a non- volatile solute is dissolved in a pure solvent, the vapour pressure of the pure solvent decreases.
P solution < Posolvent because the non-volatile solute particles are present on surface of the solution so the
rate of evaporation of molecules of the volatile solvent from the surface of solution decreases.
Liquid- liquid volatile solutions are classified into two types on the basis of Raoult’s law asfollows:
Ideal solution:
The solution which obey Raoult‘s law at all concentration and at all temperature i.e. PA = PoA.xA,PB = Po
B.xB
If the intermolecular attractive forces between the solute –solvent(A – B interaction) are nearly equal to those
between the solvent – solvent (A – A) andsolute – solute (B – B) it forms ideal solutions. Enthalpy of
mixing, mixing H = 0. Volume change on mixing, mixing V = 0.
Examples: n - hexane and n-heptane, Bromoethane and chloroethane and Benzene and to luene.
Non Ideal solution:
The solution which do not obey Raoult‘s law at all concentration and at all temperature i.e.
PA ≠ PoAxA , PB ≠ Po
BxB
If the intermolecular attractive forces between the solute – solvent (A – B interaction) are not equal (either
stronger or weaker) to those between the solvent – solvent (A – A) and solute – solute (B – B) it forms non-
ideal solutions.
Enthalpy of mixing, ΔHmixing is not equal to 0.
Volume change on mixing, ΔVmixing is not equal to 0.
Examples: Ethanol and acetone, Ethanol and water, Chloroform and acetone Nitric acid and water.
Types of Non-Ideal solutions:
Non-ideal solution showing positive deviations. In this case, intermolecular attractive forces between the
solute and solvent(A – B) are weaker than those between the solvent(A – A) and the solute (B – B) i.e. PA>
PoAxA ,PB> PoBxB
17
mixing H = +ve , mixing V = +ve
Dissolution is endothermic so, heating increases solubility. Ethanol and acetone, Ethanol and
water, CS2 and acetone.
Non-ideal solution showing negative deviations
In this case, intermolecular attractive forces between the solute and solvent(A – B) are stronger than
those between the solvent(A – A) and the solute (B – B) i.e. PA<
PoAxA, PB< Po
BxB . mixing H = -ve, mixing V = -ve
Dissolution is exothermic so, heating decreases solubility.
Examples: Chloroform and acetone, Nitric acid and water, Phenol and aniline.
Azeotropes are binary solutions (liquid mixtures) having the same composition in liquid
andvapour phase and it is not possible to separate the components of an azeotrope by fractional
distillation.
18
Types of azeotropes:
Minimum boiling azeotrope
The non- ideal solutions showing positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope at aspecific
composition.
Example; 95% ethanol and 5% water (by volume)
Ethanol = 351.3K , Water = 373 K, Azeotrope = 351.1K
Maximum boiling azeotrope
The non- ideal solutions showing negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope at aspecific
composition.
Example : 68% Nitric acid and 32% water (by mass)
Nitric acid = 359K , Water = 373 K, Azeotrope = 393.5K
Colligative Properties:
The properties of solutions which depends on the no. of solute particles but irrespective ofnature of solute
particles.
Example: Relative lowering of vapour pressure , Elevation of boiling point ,Depression offreezing point ,
Osmotic pressure
Application: By measuring a colligative property of a solution molar mass of the non volatile solute can be
calculated Conditions for getting accurate value of molar mass.
Solute must be non volatile.
Solution must be dilute.
c) Solute particles must not undergo any association or dissociation in the solution.
Relative lowering of vapour pressure:
When a non volatile solute is added to a pure solvent its vapour pressure decreases.
Psolution< P0solvent , according to Raoult‘ s lawP solvent = P0
solvent x solvent Where, P solution
P solvent (Since solute is non volatile). P solution = vapour pressure of solution.
P solvent = vapour pressure of solvent in the solution.
P0solvent = vapour pressure of pure solvent.
19
Therefore, P solution = P0solvent.x solvent (Since xsolute+ xsolvent =1) .
0 0
(P0solvent – P solution) = P0
solvent x solute (Lowering of vapor pressure).
Therefore relative lowering of vapour pressure =
( P0solvent – P solution) / P0
solvent = x solute ----- (1)
Since, it depends on mole fraction of the solute (Xsolute), It is a colligative property.
To calculate molar mass : xsolute = n solute /( n solute + n solvent). Since the solution is dilute, n solute is neglected
from denominator.
x solute = n solute/ n solvent = ( Wsolute x Msolution ) /( Msolute x Wsolvent).
Elevation of boiling point :
Boiling point : The temperature at which vapour pressure of liquid becomes equal to atmospheric
pressure.The vapour pressure of the pure solvent decreases when non volatile solute is added to it and the
boiling point is inversely proportional to vapour pressure. Therefore, boiling point of the pure solvent
increases when a nonvolatile solute is added.
i.e. Tb> T0b(solvent) The difference in boiling point of solution and pure solvent is calledelevation of boiling
point (ΔTb). ΔTb = Tb (solution) – ΔT0b (solvent).
For dilute solution, the elevation of boiling point is directly proportional to molality (molal concentration) of
the solution.ΔTb = Kb * molality… … … (1) Where Kb= Boiling point elevation constant or molal elevation
Constant or ebullioscopic constant. Molality (m) = nsolute / W solvent in kg =
Wsolute/(MsolutexWsolvent in kg) … (2)
By substituting (2) in (1), the molar mass of non volatile solute(M solute) can be calculated.
Depression of freezing point
Freezing point: Temperature at which the vapour pressure of the substance in its liquid phase is equal to its
vapour pressure in its solid phase. Since the vapour pressure of the pure solvent decreases in the presence of
non volatile solute and freezing point is directly proportional to vapour pressure, the freezing point of pure
solvent decreases when non volatile solute is added to it Tf(solution)< T0f(solvent).
The difference in freezing point of pure solvent and solution is called depression of
freezing point (ΔTf) ΔTf =T0f(solvent)-Tf(solution).
For dilute solution, the depression of freezing point is directly proportional to molality (molal concentration)
of the solution.
ΔTf = Kf molality …………….(1)
20
Where Kf = freezing point depression constant or molal depression constant or cryoscopic constant.
Molality(m)= W solute / (Msolute xWsolvent in kg ). …………….(2).
Osmosis: The process of flow of solvent molecules from pure solvent to the solution through semi permeable
membrane. Osmotic pressure (Π) : Minimum pressure that must be applied to the solution to prevent the flow of solvent
into the solution through a semipermiable membrane It‘ s a colligative property as it is directly proportional
to molarity (molaroncentration) of the solution at the given temperature.
Π = Molarity × R × T (since Π = (n/V) ×R×T) ………………..(1).
Isotonic solutions: two different solutions having the same osmotic pressure at same temperature.
Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions: a solution which has more Osmotic pressure than other solution is
hypertonic and similarly the solution having less osmotic pressure than the other solution is called hypotonic.
Reverse osmosis: When a pressure larger than osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side, the pure
solvent flows out of solution to solvent side through semi permeable membrane this process is called reverse
osmosis.
Use: Reverse osmosis is used to desalination of sea water (into drinking water).
Abnormal molar mass and van’t Hoff factor (i):
When the non volatile solute particles undergo association (Eg: acetic acid) or dissociation (Eg: electrolytes
like KCl, NaCl etc), the abnormal molar mass is observed.
Formula to calculate i; i = Total number of moles of particles after association or dissociation /Total number
of moles of particles before association or dissociation.
Always’i‘ value is less than unity (i < 1) for association and’i‘ is greater than unity(i >1) for dissociation, the
modified equation for colligative properties for association or dissociation:
1. relative lowering of vapour pressure = i*Xsolute
2. ΔTb = i × Kb × molality
3. ΔTf = i × Kf × molality
4. Π = i × C× R x T
IMPORTANT FORMULAE
Molarity (M) = WB/ MBV(L)
Molality (m) = WB x 1000 / MBWA (g).
Δp/p0 = (p0-p) /p = xB.
ΔTb = kb x WB x 1000 / MBWA.
ΔTf = kf x WB x 1000 / MBWA
π = WBRT / MBV

CONCEPT BASED SOLVED QUESTIONS VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTION (1 MARK )
1. What type of liquids form ideal solutions?
Hints: Liquids having similar structures and polarities.
2. Why does chemist prefer to refer concentration of solution in terms of molality?
Hints: Molality does not change with temperature where as molarity changes with temperature
because volume changes with temperature. Therefore molality is better.
3. What is van’tHoff factor for KCl in aqueous solution?
Hints: i = 2
4. What happens when blood cells are placed in pure water?
Hints: Due to osmosis water enters the blood cells through the cell wall, as a result it swells and
May even burst.
5. Two liquids say X and Y boil at 380 K and 400 K respectively. Which of them is more volatile? Why?
Hints: Liquid – X because lower the boiling point more will be volatile (evaporation).
6. What is the effect of rise in temperature on solubility of gases?
Hints: Dissolution of gas is exothermic process. Hence according to Le- Chatelier‘s principle, the solubility
of gas should decrease with rise in temperature.
7. Mention a large scale use of the phenomenon called ‘reverse osmosis’.
Hints: Desalination of Sea water.
8.Why it is advised to add ethylene glycol to water in a car radiator while driving in a hill station?
Hints:As an antifreeze to lower the freezing point of water.
9. What is the expected Van’t Hoff’s factor ‘i’ value for K3[Fe(CN)6] ?
Hints: Therefore, i = 4.
10. The molar mass of bio molecules is determined by osmotic pressure and not by other colligative
properties. Why?
Hints: Osmotic pressure is measured around room temperature whereas bio molecules are generally
unstable at higher temperatures.
22
SHORT QUESTION (2& 3* MARKS)
1.Why is the freezing point depression of 0.1M NaCl solution nearly twice that of 0.1M glucose solution?
Hints:NaCl is an electrolyte and dissociates completely whereas glucose being a non-electrolyte does
notdissociate.Hence, the number of particles in 0.1M NaCl solution is nearly double than that in 0.1M
glucose solution.Depression in freezing point being a colligative property is nearly twice for NaCl solution
than for glucose solution of same molarity.
2.What is the effect of temperature on Henry’s law constant (KH) and on solubility of a gason liquid?
Hints:Solubility of a gas in liquid decreases with increase in temperature. KH value increases with the
increase in temperature.
3.Calculate the no. of moles of methanol in 5L of its 2m solution, if the density of the solution is 0.981KgL-
1[molar mass of methanol = 32g mol-1]
Hints:Molality = n solute / W solvent in kg 2 mol Kg-1 = nsolute /(W solution – W solute ) = nsolute /
0.981×5 – n solute × 32 /1000.
n solute = 9.21 mol.
4.What type of deviation from ideal behaviour will be shown by a solution of cyclohexane and ethanol?
Why?
Hints:Positive deviation because ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bond, but the addition of Cyclohexane
will break some of the hydrogen bonds. Therefore solute-solvent molecular attractive force will be weaker
than solute-solute and solvent- solvent molecular attractive force.
5.What care is generally taken during intravenous Injections and why?
During intravenous injection, the concentration of the solution should be same as that of blood so that they
are isotonic. Because if the solution concentration is hypertonic than blood cell will shrink and if it is
hypotonic than blood cell will swells / burst.
6.When X and Y are mixed the solution becomesWarmer and when Y and Z are mixed the solution becomes
cooler. Which of this solution will exhibit positive Deviation and which will be the negative deviation?
Hints:X and Y Show the negative deviation, Y and Z Shows the positive deviation.

is dissolved in 122 g of carbon tetrachloride.
Solution:
Given,
Mass of solute (WB ) = 22g
Mass of solvent (W B) = 122 g
Mass of solution = 22g + 122 g = 144 g
Mass % of benzene = ?
Mass % of carbon tetrachloride = ? Now, Mass percentage of benzene
And, Mass percentage of carbon tetrachloride
Thus, Mass percentage of benzene = 15.27%

24
Q2. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in solution containing 30% by mass in carbon tetrachloride.
Solution:

Thus, % of solvent (carbon tetrachloride) = 70% Mole fraction of benzene in the given solution = ?
This means, 30g of benzene (C6 H 6) is dissolved in 70 g of CCl 4
Now, Molecular mass of benzene (C6 H6 ) = (12 x 6) + (1 x 6) = 78 g mol – 1 Molecular mass of carbon
tetrachloride (CCl4 ) = 12 + (35.5 x 4 ) = 154 g mol – 1

Molar mass of given solute Co(NO 3) 2.6H 2O = 58.7 + 2[14 + (16 x 3)] + 6 ( 2 + 16) = 58.7 + (2 x 62) + (6
x 18)
= 58.7 + 124 + 128 g mol – 1 = 290.7 g mol – 1
Now, Number of moles of Co(NO 3)2 .6H 2O
25
Now, we know that, Molarity
Thus, molarity of given solute = 0.24 M
Given, 30 mL of 0.5 M H2SO4 diluted to 500 mL. Thus,
Thus, required molarity = 0.3 M
Alternate method:
Number of moles present in 1000 ml of 0.5 M H 2SO4 solution = 0.5 mol
Therefore, number of moles present in 1 ml of solution = 1 / 1000 mL
Therefore, number of moles present in 30 mL of solution

kg = 2500 gm
Mass of solute (W B) = ?
Now, we know that, 0.25moles=0.25*60=15 g
Mass of solution=1000+15=1015g
1015 g of solution contain=15 g urea
2500g----------------------------=15*2500/1015=37
Thus, mass of given solute urea = 37 g

Rate of chemical reaction:-The change in molar concentration of the species taking part in a reaction per
unit time.
Unit is mol L-1S-1 or mol L-1 min-1
For gaseous reactions atm s-1 or atm min-1
Average rate:-obtained by dividing the change in concentration of any one of the reactant
or product by the time taken for the change ie Δx/Δt
For a reaction of the type
aA +bB→ cC+dD ,the average rate expressions are
r ave = - [A]/ t×1/a = - [B]/ t ×1/b = + [C]/ t ×1/c = + [D]/ t ×1/d
The negative sign implies that the change in concentration of reactant is negative Average
rate does not give the true rate of the reaction
Instantaneous rate of a reaction:- The rate of a reaction at a particular moment of time.
Average rate expression becomes instantaneous rate expression as Δt→0
Instantaneous rate rinst= dx/dt where dx- infinitesimally small change in concentration and
dt- infinitesimally small interval of time.
Instantaneous rate is experimentally obtained by taking the tangent at any instant on the curve obtained by
plotting concentration vs time.
48
QUESTIONS
Q1. Write the average and instantaneous rate expressions of the following reaction.
5Br-(aq)+BrO3-(aq) +6H +(aq) → 3Br2(aq) +3H2O(l)
Rav = - [Br-]/ t × 1/5 = - [BrO3-]/ t = - [H+]/ t ×1/6 = + [Br2]/ t×1/3 = +
[H2O]/ t×1/3
rinst = - d [Br-]/dt ×1/5 = -d [BrO3-]/dt
= +d[Br2]/dt ×1/3= +d[H2O]/dt ×1/3
Q2. In a reaction 2A→Products, the concentration of A decreases from 0.5 mol L-1 to 0.4 molL-1 in 10
minutes. Calculate the rate during this interval.
= ½ (0.4-0.5) mol L-1/10 min = 0.005 mol L-1 min-1
Q3. A chemical reaction 2A→ 4B + C in gas phase occurs in a closed vessel. The concentration of B is
found to increase by 5×10-3 mol L-1 in 10 seconds, calculate
(a) the rate of appearance of B (b) the rate of disappearance of A.
Sol: - rate = -1/2 x Δ[A]/Δt= +1/4 x Δ[B]/Δt = +Δ[C]/Δt
Rate of appearance of B = 5×10-3 mol L-1/10 s= 5×10-4 mol L-1 s-1
Rate of disappearance of A,I .e. Δ[A]/Δt = 2/4×Δ[B]/Δt
1/2×5×10-4 mol L-1S-1 =2.5×10-4 mol L-1s-1
Rate law: -The expression in which reaction rate is given in terms of molar concentrations of reactants
with each term raised to some power, which may or may not be same as the stoichiometric coefficient of
the reacting species in a balanced chemical equation.
For a general reaction
aA + bB→ cc + dD The rate law expression isRate =k [A]x[B]y
Where k- rate constant, ’x‘ may or may not be equal to ‘a‘ , ‘y‘ may or may not be equal to ‘b‘.
Order of a reaction:-The sum of exponents of the concentration of the reactants in the rate law expression.
In the rate law expression; rate = [A]x [B]y
‘x‘--- order of the reaction w.r.t reactant A ,‘y‘ order of the reaction w.r.t reactant B x+y is the overall
order of the reaction.
For nth order reaction the unit of rate constant ‘k’ is (mol L-1)1-n s-1.
49
Q4. The rate constant of a reaction is 2.3x 10-5mol-1Ls-1. What is the order of the
reaction?
Here 1-n = -1, so n=2 i.e., the reaction is of second order.
Molecularity of a reaction: -The number of reacting species (atoms,ions or molecules) taking part in an
elementary reaction which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction.
Complex reactions involving more than three molecules in the stoichiometric equation, must(is assumed
to be) be taking place in more than one step (elementaryreaction).
The overall order of the reaction is controlled by the slowest step ,called rate determining step
The rate can be written from the slowest step
For single step reactions, the order and molecularity will be the same.
Q5. Suggest a probable mechanism for the reaction
The rate law is rate = k[H2O2][I-].
H2O2 + I-→ H2O + IO-------- slow (2) H2O2 + IO-→ H2O + I- +O2----- fast
Q6. Write any 3 important differences between order &Molecularity

complex reaction.
50
Q7.For a reaction A + B → Products, the rate law is given by Rate =k [A]1/2 [B]2, what is the order of the
reaction?
Order = 1/2 + 2= 2.5,Integrated rate expression for zero order reactions k= [R]0 – [R]/ t where k—rate
constant for zero order reaction
[R]0--- initial concentration of the reactant [R]---- concentration of the reactant at time ‘t‘
variation in the concentration Vs time graph for zero order reaction
For first order reaction K = 2.303/t log [R]0/[R]
Slope= -k/2.303
[logR0]
Plot of variation of log[R] Vs time for a first order reaction
For first order gas phase reaction of the type A(g) → B(g) +C(g)
K = 2.303/t log pi/(2pi-pt)
Pi---- initial pressure of gas A ,Pt----- partial pressure of gas A at time ’y‘.
Half- life of a reaction:- Time taken for reducing the concentration of a reactant to one half of it‘s
Concentration.
For zero order reaction, half- life t1/2 = [R]0/2k
For first order reaction t1/2 = 0.693/k
For nth order reaction t1/2α [R]01-n
51
Q7. The rate constant of a reaction w.r.t.the reactant A is 6 min-1. If we start with [A]=0.8 moL-1, when
would [A] reach the value of 0.08 molL-1?
For first order reaction, t = 2.303/k log [R]0/[R] ,[R]0 = 0.8 mol L-1, [R] = 0.08 mol L - 1, k = 6 min-1,t =
2.303/6 min-1 log [0.8mol L-1/0.08 molL-1] = 2.303/6 min-1 x log 10 = 0.38 min.
Q8. If half- life period for a first order reaction in A is 2 min. How long will it taketo reach 25% its initial
concentration? For first order reaction k = 0.693/t1/2
k =0.693/2 min-1.
k = 0.3465 min-1, [R]0 = 100 ,[R] = 25
t= 2.303/k log [R]0/[R] = 2.303/0.3465 min-1. log 100/25 = 2.303/0.3465 min-1 log 4 = 6.65min.
Pseudo first order reaction: - reaction which appears to be a second order ,butactually first order are
called pseudo first order reaction.Eg:- hydrolysis of esters
CH3COOC2H5 +H2O ---→ CH3COOH + C2H5OH Rate law for this reaction is; rate =
k[CH3COOC2H5][H2O]
But the concentration of water does not change during the course of the reaction
So; [H2O] is constant Therefore rate = k1[CH3COOC2H5] . The reaction behaves as a first orderreaction
Arrhenius equation for temperature dependence of rate constant:-
k= Ae-Ea/RT Or log k = logA – Ea/2.303RT, log k2/k1 = Ea/2.303[T2-T1/T1T2] where A = pre- exponential
factor; Ea— Activation energy, R=gas constant, T=temperature in kelvin scale. K1 and k2 are rate
constant.
slope = -Ea/2.303R
Activation energy :- The energy required to form the reaction intermediate {refer
NCERT Text Book page no: 112}
52
Effect of catalyst on reaction rate :- A catalyst alters the rate of a reaction as it provides an alternate
pathway or reaction mechanism by reducing the activation energy between reactants and products and
hence lowering the potential energy barrier [Refer NCERT Text Book fig.4.11 page no ; 115]
A catalyst (a) does not alter the Gibb‘s energy ΔG of a reaction.
Catalyses only spontaneous reactions (c) does not change the equilibrium constant of a reaction (d) is
highly specific
Collision theory of chemical reactions
collision frequency :-a)The number of collisions per second per unit volume of the reaction mixture
{Refer NCERT Text Book page no 115&116}
According to collision theory; rate = p ZAB e –Ea/RT P --- probability factor; Z-
---collision frequency of reactants A&B e-Ea/RT represents the fraction of molecules with energies equal
to or greater than Ea.

Adsorption: The accumulation of molecular species at the surface rather than in the bulk of a solid or
liquidAdsorbate:The molecular species or substance, which concentrate at the surface.Adsorbent: The material on the surface of which the adsorption takes place. Adsorption is essentially a
surface phenomenon.Desorption: The process of removing an adsorbed substance from a surface on which it is adsorbed.Factors featuring adsorption The extent of adsorption increases with the increase of surface area per unit mass of the adsorbent at a
givetemperature and pressure. Easily liquefiable gases(i.e., with higher criticaltemperatures) are readily
adsorbed.Adsorption isaccompanied by decrease in enthalpy aswell as decrease in entropy of the system.
Types of Adsorption
Physical adsorption Chemical adsorption
1. It arises because of van der 1. It is caused by chemical bond
Waals‘forces. formation.
2. It is not specific in nature. 2. It is highly specific in nature.
3. It is reversible in nature. 3. It is irreversible.
4. Enthalpy of adsorption is low (20- 4. Enthalpy of adsorption is high (80-
40 kJ mol–1). 240 kJ mol-1).
5. No appreciable activation energy is 5. High activation energy is sometimes
needed. needed.
6. It results into multimolecular layers 6. It results into unimolecular layer.
on adsorbent surface under high
. Freundlich adsorption isotherm: Empirical relationship between the quantity of gas adsorbed by unit mass of
solid adsorbent and pressure at a particulartemperature.
x/m= k.P1/n (n > 1) where x is the mass of the gas adsorbed on mass m of the adsorbent at pressure P, k and n
are constants which depend on the nature of the adsorbent andthe gas at a particular temperature.
62
Taking logarithm log x/m= log k + 1/n log P
When 1/n = 0, x/m = constant, the adsorption is independent of pressure. When 1/n = 1, x/m= k P, the
adsorption varies directly with pressure.
Catalysis:
Catalysts - Substances, which alter the rate of a chemical reaction and themselves remain chemically and
quantitatively unchanged after the reaction.
Promoters - Substances that enhance the activity of a catalyst. For example, inHaber‘s process for
manufacture of ammonia, molybdenum acts as a promoter for iron which is used as a catalyst.
Poisons – Substances that decrease the activity of a catalyst.
Homogeneous catalysis:When the reactants and the catalyst are in the samephase (i.e.liquid or gas).
Eg:- Oxidation of sulphur dioxide into sulphur trioxide with dioxygen in the presence of oxides of
nitrogen as the catalyst in the lead chamber process.
NO(g)
2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
Heterogeneous catalysis: The catalytic process in which the reactants and thecatalyst are in different
phases. is known as heterogeneous catalysis. Eg:-Oxidation of sulphur dioxide into sulphur trioxide in the
presence of Pt.
2SO2(g)→ 2SO3(g).
The mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis involves five steps:
a) Diffusion of reactants to the surface of the catalyst.
b) Adsorption of reactant molecules on the surface of the catalyst.
c) Occurrence of chemical reaction on the catalyst‘s surface through formation of an intermediate.
d) Desorption of reaction products from the catalyst surface.
63
Diffusion of reaction products away from the catalyst‘s surface.
Important features of solid catalysts
Activity:The activity of a catalyst depends upon the strength of chemisorptions to a large extent. The
reactants must get adsorbed reasonably strongly on to the
catalyst (but not so strongly) to become active.
(b) Pt
Eg:- 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 H2O(l)
Selectivity: The selectivity of a catalyst is its ability to direct a reaction to yield a particular product.
Shape-selective catalysis: The catalytic reaction that depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and
the size of the reactant. Zeolites are good shape-selective catalysts. Eg:- ZSM-5 converts alcohols directly
into gasoline (petrol) by dehydrating them to give a mixture of hydrocarbons.
Enzymes:The enzymes are biochemical catalysts.
Inversion of cane sugar: The invertase enzyme converts cane sugar into glucose and fructose.
COLLOIDS: A colloid is a heterogeneous system in which one substance is dispersed (dispersed phase)
as very fine particles in another substance called dispersion medium. Range of diameters is between 1 and
1000 nm.
Classification of Colloids
(i)Based on Physical State of Dispersed Phase and Dispersion MediumSee table 5.4 NCERT Text- book
Solidsin liquids – sols eg:- starch sol
Liquids in solids – gels eg:- butter

range.Eg:- starch Eg:- soaps & detergents
Sol
Kraft temperature (Tk)- Temperature above which the formation of micelles takes place.
Critical micelle concentration (CMC) – Concentration above which the formation of micelles takes place.
Peptization_ Process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by shaking it with dispersion medium in
the presence of a small amount of electrolyte.
Dialysis: It is a process of removing a dissolved substance from a colloidal solution by means of diffusion
through a suitable membrane.
Electro-dialysis: Dialysis can be made fasterby applying an electric field if the dissolved substance in the
impure colloidal solution is only an electrolyte.
Properties of colloidal solutions
(i)Tyndall effect: - The scattering of light rays by colloidal particles due to whichthe path of light is
illuminated.
Tyndalleffect is observed only when The diameter of the dispersed particles is not much smaller than the
wave length of the light used.
The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium differ greatlyin magnitude.
(ii)Brownian movement: - The zig-zag movement of colloidal particles due to the unbalanced
bombardment of the dispersed particles with the molecules of the dispersion medium.
65
(iii) Electrophoresis :- The movement of colloidal particles under an appliedelectric potential Charge on
colloidal particles :- The colloidal particles develop charge due to the following reasons:
Electron capture by sol particles during electro dispersion of metals Due to preferential adsorption of ions
from solutions Due to formulation of electrical double layer.
Coagulation or precipitation of colloidal particles or the process of settling ofcolloidal particles is due to
(a) addition of electrolytes (b) electrophoresis(c) boiling (d)mixing two oppositely charged sols.
Hardy – Schulze rule: -Greater the valence of the coagulating ion added to a sol, the greater is its power to
cause precipitation. The coagulation power of some of the cations is in theorderAl3+>Ba2+>Na+. The
coagulating power of some of the anions is in the order [Fe(CN)6] 4->PO43->SO4
2- >Cl- .
Coagulating value of an electrolyte: The minimum concentration of an electrolyte in millimols per litre
required to cause precipitation of a sol in two hours.
Emulsion :- colloidal system where a liquid is dispersed in another liquid. Typesof emulsionsoil in water
type (o/w) eg: milk, vanishing creamwater in oil type (w/o) eg: butter , cold cream Emulsions are
stabilized by emulsifyingagents. eg : soaps.
CONCEPT BASED SOLVED QUESTIONS
VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS (1MARK)

4.The oppositely charged colloids get neutralized and coagulated. 4. Explain the cleansing action of soap.
Hints:Soap molecules form micelles around the oil droplets in such a way that the hydrophobic part of
soappoints to the oil and hydrophilic part projects towards water. Thus soap helps in emulsification and
washingaway of oils and fats.
5.Explain why hydrophilic sols are relatively more stable than hydrophobic sols? Hints:This is because
hydrophilic sols are extensively hydrated and there is strong interaction between disperse phase and
dispersion medium.
6.What is electro dialysis?
Hints:The process of dialysis used for the purification of colloids can be accelerated by applying an
electric field. The oppositely charged ions of the electrolyte present in the colloids migrate towards the
respective electrodes easily.
7. Account for the following Fe(OH)3 sol is positively charged.
The extent of physical adsorption decrease with rise in temperature.
Hints:(i)A deep red sol of Fe(OH)3 is obtained by the hydrolysis of FeCl3 . The sol particles are positively
charged because of preferential adsorption of Fe3+ ions
Adsorption is an exothermic process. So the rate of physical adsorption decreases with the rise in
temperature in accordance with the Le-Chatlier principle.
8. Give the preparation of sulphur sol & gold sol. Hints:Oxidation of H2S with SO2 gas gives sulphur sol.
SO2(g) + 2H2S(g) → 3S(sol) + 2H2O

The chemical substances in the earth’s crust obtained by mining are called Minerals.
Minerals, which act as source for metal, are called Ore.
The unwanted impurities present in ore are called Gangue.
The entire process of extraction of metal from its ore is called Metallurgy.
Removal of gangue from ore is called Concentration, Dressing or Benefaction of ore.
Concentration by Hydraulic washing is based on the difference in gravities of ore and gangue particles.
Concentration by Magnetic separation is based on differences in magnetic properties of ore components.
If either of ore or gangue is capable of attracted by a magnet field, then such separation is carried out.
Concentration by Froth Flotation Process is based on the facts that sulphide ore is wetted by oil & gangue
particles are wetted by water.
Concentration by Leaching is based on the facts that ore is soluble in some suitable reagent & gangue is
insoluble in same reagent. e.g. Bauxite ore contains impuritiesof silica, iron oxide & TiO2 .The powdered
ore is treated with NaOH which dissolve Al & impurities remains insoluble in it.

CONCEPT BASED SOLVED QUESTIONS
VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS (1 MARK) Q.1- What is slag?
Hints:- It is easily fusible material, which is formed when gangue still present in roasted ore combines
with the flux. e.g. CaO (flux) + SiO2 (gangue) →CaSiO3 (slag)
Q.2- Which is better reducing agent at 983K, carbon or CO?
Hints:- CO, (above 983K CO being more stable & does not act as a good reducing agent but carbon does.)
Q.3- At which temperature carbon can be used as a reducing agent for FeO?
Hints:- Above 1123K, carbon can reduce FeO to Fe.
Q.4- What is the role of graphite rods in electrometallurgy of aluminium?
Hints:- Graphite rods act as anode, are attacked by oxygen to form CO2 and so to be replace timeto time.
Q.5- What is the role of cryolite in electrometallurgy of aluminium?
Hints:- alumina cannot be fused easily because of high melting point. Dissolving of alumina in cryolite
furnishes Al3+ions, which can be electrolyzed easily.
Q.6- What are depressants?
Hints:- It is possible to separate two sulphide ore by adjusting proportion of oil to water in froth flotation
process byusing a substance known as depressant.e.g. NaCN is used to separate ZnS and PbS.
Q.7- Copper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy but not Zn. Why? Hints:- The E0 of Zn is lower than
that of Cu thus Zn can displace Cu2+ ion from its solution. On other hand side to displace Zn from Zn2+
ion, we need a more reactive metal than it.
Q.8- Give name and formula of important ore of iron.

SHORT QUESTIONS (2 MARKS)
Q.1 Describe the method of refining of nickel.
Hints:- In the Mond Process, Ni is heated in a stream of CO forming a volatile complex, which then
decomposes at higher temperature to give Ni. At 330-350K: - Ni + 4CO → Ni (CO) 4
At 450-470K Ni (CO)4 → Ni + 4 CO
Q.2- What is Zone Refining? Explain with example. Hints:- Zone refining is a method of obtaining a
metal in very pure state. It is based on the principal that impurities are more soluble in molten state of
metal than solidified state.
In this method, a rod of impure metal is moved slowly over circular heater. The portion of themetal being
heated melts & forms the molten zone. As this portion of the rod moves out of heater, it solidified while
the impurities pass into molten zone. The process is repeated to obtain ultra-pure metal and end of rod
containing impure metal cutoff.
Q.3 Write the principal of electro-refining.
Hints:- In this method of purification impure metal is made Anode and pure metal is made the cathode.
On passing electricity, pure metal is deposited at the cathode while the impuritiesdissolve in solution as
anode mud. E.g. electro- refining of copper:-
At Cathode: - Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu
At Anode: - Cu → Cu2+ + 2e-
Q.4- Describe the method of refining of Zirconium and Titanium.
Hints:- Van Arkel process is used for obtaining ultrapure metal. The impure metal is converted into
volatile compound,which then decomposes electrically to get pure metal.
At 850K: - Zr impure) + 2 I2 → ZrI4
At 2075K:- ZrI4 → Zr (pure) + 2 I2
Q.5- Out of C & CO, which is better reducing agent for ZnO?
82
Hints: Since free energy of formation of CO from C is lower at temperature above 1120K whilethat of
CO2 from carbon is lower above 1323K than free energy of formation 0f ZnO. However, the free energy
of formation of CO2 from CO is always higher than that of ZnO. Hence, C isbetter reducing agent of ZnO.
Q6 The value of f G0 for Cr2O3 is -540kJ/mole & that of Al2O3 is -827kJ/mole. Is the reduction of Cr2O3
possible with aluminium?
Hints:- The desired conversion is
4 Al + 2Cr2O3 → 2Al2O3 + 4Cr
It is obtained by addition of following two reactions:-
4Al + 3O2 → 2 Al2O3 f G0=-827kJ/mole
2Cr2O3 → 4Cr + 3O2 f G0==+ 540 kJ/mole
Therefore, G0 for desired reaction is -827+540=-287, as a result reduction is possible.
Q.7:- Why copper matte is put in silica lined converter?
Hints::- Copper matte consists of Cu2S and FeS. When blast of air is passed through molten matte in
silica-lined converter,FeS present in matte is oxidized to FeO, which combines with silica to form slag.
2FeS + 3O2→2FeO +2 SO2, (ii) FeO + SiO2 →FeSiO3 (slag),
2Cu2S + 3O2 →2Cu2O+2SO2, (iv) 2Cu2O+2Cu2S→ 6Cu + SO2
Q.8- What is meant by term chromatography?
Hints:-Chromato means Colour and graphy means writing because the method was first used for
separation of coloured substance. It is based on selective distribution of various constituents of a mixture
between two phases, a stationaryphase and a moving phase. The stationary phase can be either solid or
liquid on solid support.
Q.9-Why is reduction of metal oxide easier if metal formed is in liquid state at temperature of reduction.
Hints:- The entropy of a substance is higher in liquid state than solid state. In the reduction of metal
oxide, the entropy change will be positive if metal formed is in liquid state. Thus, the value of G0
becomes negative and reduction occurs easily.
Q.10-Why is reduction of metal oxide easier if metal formed is in liquid state at temperature of reduction.

Sea water contains chlorides,bromides and iodides of Sodium, potassium magnesium and calcium, but is
mainly sodium chloride solution (2.5% by mass). Certain forms ofmarine life (various seaweeds).
91
ATOMIC & PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
i). Atomic & ionic radii increase from fluorine to iodine.
ii). Ionization enthalpy gradually decreases from fluorine to iodine due to increase in atomicsize.
iii). Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less than that of chlorine. It is due to small size of fluorine &
repulsionbetween newly added electron &electrons already present in its small 2p orbital.
iv). Electronegativity decreases from fluorine to iodine. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in
the periodic table.
v). The color of halogens is due to absorption of radiations in visible region which results in the excitation
of outerelectrons to higher energy level.
vi). Bond dissociation enthalpy of fluorine is smaller than that of chlorine is due to electron-electron
repulsion among the lone pair in fluorine molecules where they are much closer toeach other than in case
of chlorine. The trend: Cl-Cl>Br-Br>F-F>I-I.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
OXIDATION STATES:-1.However, chlorine, bromine &iodine exhibit +1, +3, +5, +7 oxidation states
also.Fluorine forms two oxides OF2 and O2F2. These are essentially oxygen fluorides because of the higher
electronegativity of fluorine than oxygen.
Anomalous behavior of fluorine- due to its small size, highest electronegativity, low F-F bond dissociation
enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals.

elements(Lanthanoids& Actinides)
1.The elements of periodic table belonging to group 3 to 12 are known as d-Block elements.
2.The general electronic configuration of these elements is (n -1)d1-10 ns 1-2 d- Block elements are
collectively known as Transition Elements because properties of these elements vary in between s-Block
and p-Block elements.
A transition element should have partially filled (n-1) d orbital.
Group 12 elements i.e. Zn, Cd, Hg have completely filled (n-1) d-orbital in atomic& ionic state& thus
these elements are considered as Typical Transition Elements.
5.All these elements are metals. They are less electropositive than s-block elements &more
electropositivethan p-block elements.
6.The atomic radii decreases from group 3 to 6 (i.e. Sc to Cr) because of increase in effective nuclear
Charge gradually.
102
The atomic radii of group 7,8 9 &10 elements (i.e. Fe,Co,Ni) is almost same because pairing of electrons
takeplace in (n-1)d orbital causing repulsion i.e. shielding of (n-1)d orbital.
Group 11 &12 elements i.e. Cu & Zn have bigger size due to strong shielding of completely filled (n-
1)dorbital.
The transition elements show variable oxidation state due to small energy
difference between(n-1)d &ns orbital as a result both (n-1)d &ns electrons takepart in bond formation.
The highest oxidation state of an element is equal to number of unpaired electrons present in (n-1)d
&nsorbital.
Transition elements have high enthalpy of atomization/ sublimation Because of large number of unpaired
electrons in their atoms, they have stronger interatomic interaction and hence strong metallic bonding
ispresent between atoms.
Most of transition elements are paramagnetic due to presence of unpaired electronsin (n-1) d orbital.
Most of transition elements are used as catalyst. It is due to
(i) partially filled (n-1) d orbital
(ii)Variable oxidation state
(iii) Ability to change oxidation state frequently.
Most of transition elements form coloured compounds due to presence of unpaired electrons in(n-1)
dorbital & thus they can undergo d-d transition.
Most of transition elements form complex compounds due to (i) small size (ii) high charge (iii) presence
of vacant d-orbital of suitable energy.
Transition elements have lower value of Reduction Potential due to high ionization potential, high heat
ofsublimation & low enthalpy of hydration.
Transition elements form interstitial compounds because size of interstitial voids issimilar to size of non-
metals C, N, O, H.
Transition elements form alloys due to similar ionic radii.
The oxides of transition metals in lower oxidation state are BASIC, intermediate oxidation state are
AMPHOTERIC, highest oxidation state are ACIDIC.
LANTHANOIDS: --
The 14 elements after Lanthanum having atomic number 58 to 71 are collectively known as Lanthanoids.
The general electronic configuration of these elements is [Xe] 4f(1-14) , 5d(0-1) ,6s2 .
Most common oxidation state of these elements is +3, but Ce shows +4, Eu +2, because they acquirestable
configuration.
The size of Lanthanoids and its trivalent ion decreases from La to Lu due to poor shielding of 4f
electrons. It is known as lanthanoids contraction.
103
ACTINOIDS:-
The 14 elements after Actinium having atomic number 90 to 113 are collectively known as Actinoids.
The general electronic configuration of these elements is [Rn] 5f(1-14), 6d(0-1), 7s2.
The size of actinoids and its trivalent ion decreases from Ac to Lw due to poor shielding of 5f electrons. It
is known as actinoids contraction.
The elements after U (92) are man-made known as transuranic elements.

SHORT QUESTIONS (2& 3 MARK)
Q.1-Explain briefly how +2 oxidation state becomes more and more stable in the first half
of the first row transitioelements with increasing atomic number.
A.1-In M2+ ions, 3d-orbitals get occupied gradually as the atomic number increases. Since, the number of
empty d-orbitals decreases, the stability of cations increases from Sc2+ to Mn2+.Mn2+ is most stable as all d-
orbitals are singly occupied.
106
Q.2- Explain why transition elements have many irregularities in their electronic configurations?
A.2-In the transition elements, there is a little difference in the energy of (n-1) d-orbitals and ns-orbitals.
Thus,incoming electron can occupy either of shell. Hence, transition elementsexhibit many irregularities in
their electronic configurations.
Q.3-What are different oxidation states exhibited by Lanthanides?
A.3-The common stable oxidation state of lanthanides is +3.However some members also show oxidation
states of +2 & +4.
Q.4-How is the variability in oxidation states of transition metals different from that of the non-transition
metals? Illustrate with examples.
A.4-The transition elements use its (n-1)d, ns and np orbital and the successive oxidation states differ by
unity. Forexample, Mn shows all the oxidation states from +2 to +7. On other hand non transition elements
use its ns, np and nd orbitals and the successive oxidation statesdiffer by two units e.g. Sn2+, Sn4+ etc.
Q.5- Why do transition elements show variable oxidation states?
107
A.5- The transition elements show variable oxidation state due to small energy difference between (n-1) d
&ns orbital as a result both (n-1)d &ns electrons take part in bond formation.
Q.6-Why are Mn2+ compounds more stable than Fe2+ compounds towards oxidation to +3 state?
A.6-The electronic configuration of Mn2+ is [Ar] 3d5, i.e. all five d-orbitals are singly occupied. Thus this
is stableelectronic configuration and further loss of electron requires high energy .on other hand the
electronic configurationof Fe2+is [Ar] 3d6, i.e. Loss of one electron requires low energy
Q.7-To what extent do the electronic configuration decide the stability of oxidation state in the first series
of thetransition elements? Illustrate your answer with an example.
A.7-In a transition series, the oxidation state which lead to exactly half filled or completely filled orbitals
are morestable.e.g. the electronic configuration of Fe is [Ar] 3d6 ,4s2. It shows various oxidation state but
Fe(III) is more stablethan Fe(II).
Q.8-What is meant by disproportionation? Give two examples.
A.8-Those reactions in which same substance undergoes oxidation as well as
reduction are called disproportionationreactions.e.g.
2Cu+→ Cu2+ + Cu
3MnO42- +4 H+ → 2 MnO4
- +MnO2 + 2 H2O
Q.9- Which metal in the first series of transition metals exhibits +1 oxidation state mostfrequently and
why?
A.9- Copper with configuration [Ar] 3d10 4s1 exhibits +1 oxidation state. Copper loses 4s1 electron easily
and achieved a stable configuration 3d10 by forming Cu+.
Q.10- What are inner transition elements?
A.10- The f-block elements in which the last electron accommodated on (n-2) f-subshell are called inner
transitionelements. These include atomic numbers 58 to 71 and from 90 to 103.
Q.11- The paramagnetic character in 3d-transition series elements increases upto Mn and then decreases.
Explain why?
108
A.11- In the 3d-transition series as we move from Sc (21) to Mn (25) the number of unpaired electrons
increases and hence paramagnetic character increases. After Mn, the pairing of electrons In the d-orbital
starts and the number of unpaired electrons decreases and hence, paramagnetic character decreases.
Q.12- Comment on the statement that elements of the first transition series possess many properties
different from those of heavier transition metal
A.12-The following points justify that the given statement is true:-
Ionization enthalpies of heavier transition elements are higher than the elements of 3d series.
Consequently, heavier transition elements are less reactive in comparison to 3d-elements.
Melting points of heavier transition elements are higher than 3d-elements.
Higher oxidation states of heavier transition elements are stable whereas lower oxidation states are stable
in 3d-elements.
Q.13-What are transition elements? Which d-block elements are not regarded as transition elements and
why?
A.13- An element which has partially filled (n-1) d orbital is known as transition elements. Group 12
elements i.e. Zn,Cd, Hg have completely filled (n-1) d-orbital in atomic & ionic state & thus
theseelements are not considered asTransition Elements.
Q.14-What are interstitial compounds? Why are such compounds well known for transitionmetal?
A.14- Compounds of transition metal with relatively smaller non-metals are known as
interstitialcompounds. These compounds are well known for transition metals because size of C, N, O,
and B is similar to size of interstitial voids of transition metal.
Q15. What is Lanthanoid contraction? What are its consequences?
A.It is filling up of 4f orbital before 5d orbital results in a regular decrease in atomicradii are called
Lanthanoidcontraction.
Consequences of lanthanoid contraction
There is similarity in the properties of second and third transition series.
Separation of lanthanoids is possible due to lanthanide contraction.
It is due to lanthanide contraction that there is variation in the basic strength of lanthanidehydroxides.
Basicstrength decreases from La(OH)3 to Lu(OH)3.)
Q16.Why does Cerium act as strong oxidizing agent?
A16.Ce shows +4 oxidation states due to stable noble gas configuration, but it is a Strong oxidizing agent
and reduced to Ce3+. Its E 0 value for Ce4+ /Ce3+ is 1.74v It oxidizes water, but the rate of reaction is slow
and thus can be studied in detail and analyzed. Hence Ce acquires great use in analytical chemistry.

1. Coordination compounds
Coordination compounds are compounds in which a central metal atom or ion is linked to a number of
ions or neutral molecules by coordinate bonds or which contain complex ions.Example:
K4[Fe(CN)6]; [ Cu(NH3)4]SO4; Ni(CO)4
The main postulates of Werner’s theory of coordination compounds
2.In coordination compounds metals show two types of linkages or valencies- Primary and Secondary.
The primary valencies are ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions.
The secondary valencies are non- ionisable and are satisfied by neutral molecules or negative
ions.The secondary valence is equal to the C.N and is fixed for a metal.
The ions or groups bound by secondary linkages to the metal have characteristic spatial arrangements
corresponding to different coordination nos.
3.Difference between a double salt and a complex:
Both double salts as well as complexes are formed by the combination of two or more stable compounds
in stoichiometric ratio. However, double salts such as Mohr‘s salt,
117
FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O, potash alum, K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O, etc. dissociate into simple ions
completely when dissolved in water. However, complex ions such as [Fe(CN)6]4– of K4[Fe(CN)6], do not
dissociate into Fe2+ and CN– ions.
IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY
(i)Coordination entity: It constitutes the central metal ion or atom bonded to a fixed number of ions or
moleculerepresented within a square bracket.
(ii)Central atom/ ion: In a coordination entity, the atom/ion to which a fixed number of ions/groups are
bound in a definite geometrical arrangement around it, is called the central atom or ion.
(iii)Ligands: The neutral or negative ions bound to the central metal or ion in the coordination entity.
These donate a pair/s of electrons to the central metal atom /ion. Ligands may beclassified as-
a)Monodentate /Unidentate: Ligands bound to the central metal atom/ion through a single donor atom.
Ex- Cl- ;H2O ; NH3 ; NO 2-.

[Co(NH3)6] 3+
Heteroleptic complexes: Complexes in which a metal is bonded to more than one kind of donor groups.
Ex- [Co(NH3)4 Cl2]+
Nomenclature of mononuclear coordination compounds The following rules are used-
i) The cation is named first in both positively and negatively charged coordination entities. ii) The ligands
are named in an alphabetical order before the name of the central atom/ion.
iii) The name of the anionic ligands end in –o, those of neutral and cationic ligands are
the same except aqua for H2O, ammine for NH3, carbonyl for CO and nitrosyl for NOthese are placed
within enclosingmarks .
When the prefixes mono, di, tri, etc., are used to indicate the number of the individual ligands in the
coordination entity. When the names of the ligands include a numerical prefix, then the terms, bis, tris ,
tetrakis are used, the ligand to which they referbeing placed in parenthesis.
Oxidation state of the metal in cation, anion, or neutral coordination entity is indicated by roman numeral
in parenthesis. If the complex ion is a cation, the metal is same as the element. The neutral complex
molecule is named similar to that of the complex cation.

Isomerism in coordination compounds
Two or more substances having the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements are called
isomers andthe phenomenon is called isomerism. Coordination compounds show two main types of
isomerism-a) Structural Isomerism b) Stereoisomerism
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM:- It arises due to the difference in structures of coordination compounds.
It is furthersubdivided into the following types-
Ionization isomerism: This form of isomerism arises when the counter ion in a complex salt isitself a
potential ligand and can displace a ligand which can then become the counter ion. An example is provided
by the ionizationisomers [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4.
Hydrate or solvate isomerism: This form of isomerism is known as ‗hydrate isomerism‘ in case where
water isinvolved as a solvent. This is similar to ionizationisomerism. Solvate isomers differ by whether or
not a solventmolecule is directly bonded to the metal ion or merely present as free solvent molecules in
the crystal lattice. Anexample is provided by the aqua complex [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 (violet) and its solvate
isomer [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2.H2O (grey-green).
Linkage Isomerism: Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound containing ambidentate
ligand. A simpleexample is provided by complexes containing the thiocyanate ligand, NCS–, which may
bind through the nitrogen to give M–NCS or through sulphur to give M–SCN.
Coordination isomerism: It arises from the interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of
different metal ions present in a complex .
Example [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] & [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6]
STEREOISOMERISM: Stereo isomers have the same chemical formula and chemical bonds but they
have differentspatial arrangement. They are of two kinds
a. Geometrical isomerism
b. Optical isomerism
a).Geometrical Isomerism- This type of isomerism arises in heteroleptic complexes due to different
possible geometric arrangements of the ligands. Important examples of this behaviour are found with
coordination numbers 4 and 6.In a square planar complex of formula [MX2L2].(X and L are unidentate),
the two ligands X may be arranged adjacent to each other in acis isomer, or opposite to each other in a
trans isomer [MABXL]-Where A,B,X,L are unidentates Two cis- and one trans- isomers are possible.
120
Another type of geometrical isomerism occurs in octahedral coordination entities of the type [Ma3b3]
like[Co(NH3)3(NO2)3]. If three donor atoms of the same ligands occupy adjacent positions at the corners
of anoctahedral face, we have the facial (fac) isomer. When the positions are around the meridian of the
octahedron, we get the meridional (mer) isomer.
a)Optical Isomerism: Optical isomers are mirror images that cannot be superimposed on one another.
These arecalled as enantiomers. The molecules or ions that cannot be superimposed are called chiral. The
two forms are called dextro (d) and laevo (l) depending upon the direction they rotate the plane of
polarised light in a polarimeter (d rotates to the right, l to the left). Optical isomerism is common in
octahedral complexes involving
didentate ligands. In a coordination entity of the type [CCl2(en)2]2+, only the cis-isomer shows optical
activity.

CRYSTAL FIELD THEORY:
The metal-ligand bond is ionic arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the
ligand.
Ligands are treated as point charges or dipoles in case of anions and neutral molecules.
In an isolated gaseous metal atom or ion the five d-orbitals are degenerate.
Degeneracy is maintained if a spherically symmetrical field of negative charges surrounds the metal /ion.
In a complex the negative field becomes asymmetrical and results in splitting of the d-orbital
A) CRYSTAL FIELD SPLLITING IN OCTAHEDRAL COORDINATION ENTITIES
1. For d4ions, two possible patterns of electron distribution arise:
If Δo < P, the fourth electron enters one of the eg orbitals giving the configuration t 2g3 eg
1
Ligands for which Δo < P are known as weak field ligands and form high spin complexes.
If Δo > P, it becomes more energetically favourable for the fourth electron to occupy a
t2gorbital with configuration t2g4 ego. Ligands which produce this effect are known as strong field ligands
and form low spin complexes.
122
B) CRYSTAL FIELD SPLLITING IN TETRAHEDRAL COORDINATION ENTITIES
1.The four surrounding ligands approach the central metal atom/ion along the planes between the axes
The t2g orbitals are raised in energy (2/5) t .
The two eg orbitals are lowered in energy (3/5) t
The splitting is smaller as compared to octahedral field splitting, t=(4/9) 0.
Pairing of electrons is rare and thus complexes have generally high spin configurations.
BONDING IN METAL CARBONYLS The metal-carbon bond in metal carbonyls possess both σ and π character. The M–C σ bond is formed by the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl carbon into a vacant orbital of the metal. The M–C π bond is formed by the donation of a pair of electrons from a filled d orbital of metal into the vacant antibonding π* orbital of carbon monoxide. The metal to ligand bonding creates a synergic effect which strengthens the bond between CO and the metal .

I−< Br−< SCN−< Cl−<S2-< F−< OH−< C2O42-∼ H2O < NCS−< NH3< en <CN-< CO
Q2. [Cr(NH3)6]3+is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)4]2-is diamagnetic. Explain why?
ANS. Cr is in the +3 oxidation state i.e., d3 configuration. Also, NH3 is a weak field ligand
that does not cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital.
Cr3+ :
Therefore, it undergoes d2sp3 hybridization and the electrons in the 3d orbitals remain unpaired. Hence, it
is paramagnetic in nature.
In [Ni(CN)4]2−, Ni exists in the +2 oxidation state i.e., d8 configuration.
Ni2+:
CN− is a strong field ligand. It causes the pairing of the 3d orbital electrons. Then, Ni2+ undergoes dsp2
hybridization.
Q3. A solution of [Ni(H2O)6]2+is green but a solution of [Ni(CN)4]2-is colourless. Explain. ANS.In
[Ni(H2O)6]2+, is a weak field ligand. Therefore, there are unpaired electrons in Ni2+. In this complex, the d
125
electrons from the lower energy level can be excited to the higher energy level i.e., the possibility of d−d
transition is present. Hence, Ni(H2O)6]2+is coloured
In [Ni(CN)4]2-, the electrons are all paired as CN- is a strong field ligand. Therefore, d-d transition is not
possible in [Ni(CN)4]2-. Hence, it is colourless. As there are no unpaired electrons, it is diamagnetic.
Q2. Draw all the isomers (geometrical and optical) of: (i) [CoCl2(en)2]+
[Co(NH3)Cl(en)2]2+
[Co(NH3)2Cl2(en)]+ ANS. (i) [CoCl2(en)2]+ In total, three isomers are possible. Trans-isomers are optically inactive. Cis-isomers are optically active.
(iii) [Co(NH3)2Cl2(en)]+
Q3. Write all the geometrical isomers of [Pt(NH3)(Br)(Cl)(py)] and how many of these will exhibit
optical isomers?
ANS. [Pt(NH3)(Br)(Cl)(py)
From the above isomers, none will exhibit optical isomers. Tetrahedral complexes rarely show optical
isomerization. They do so only in the presence of unsymmetrical chelating agents.
Q4. What is meant by stability of a coordination compound in solution? State the factors which govern
stability of complexes.
126
ANS. The stability of a complex in a solution refers to the degree of association between the two species
involved in a state of equilibrium. Stability can be expressed quantitatively in terms of stability constant
or formation constant.
For this reaction, the greater the value of the stability constant, the greater is the proportion of
ML3 in the solution.
Q5. (a) Discuss the nature of bonding in the following coordination entities on the basisof valence bond
theory:
(i) [Fe(CN)6]4-(ii) [FeF6]3-(iii) [Co(C2O4)3]3-(iv) [CoF6]3-
ANS. (i) [Fe(CN)6]4-In the above coordination complex, iron exists in the +II oxidation state.Fe2+
: Electronic configuration is 3d6Orbitals of Fe2+ion:
As CN− is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of the unpaired 3d electrons.Since there are six
ligands around the central metal ion, the most feasible hybridization is d2sp3. The d2 sp3 hybridized orbital
of Fe2+ are:
127
6 electron pairs from CN− ions occupy the six hybrid d2sp3orbitals.Then, Hence, the geometry of the complex is octahedral and the complex is diamagnetic (as there are no unpaired electrons). (ii) [FeF6]3−
In this complex, the oxidation state of Fe is +3. Orbitals of Fe+3 ion:
There are 6 F− ions. Thus, it will undergo d2sp3 or sp3d2 hybridization. As F− is a weak field ligand, it does not cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital. Hence, the most feasible hybridization is sp3d2.sp3d2 hybridized orbitals of Fe are: Hence, the geometry of the complex is found to be octahedral. (iii) [Co(C2O4)3]−
Cobalt exists in the +3 oxidation state in the given complex.Orbitals of Co3+ ion:Oxalate is a weak field ligand. Therefore, it cannot cause the pairing of the 3d orbital electrons. As there are ligands, hybridization has to be either sp3d2 or d2sp3 hybridization.sp3d2 hybridization of Co3+: The 6 electron pairs from the 3 oxalate ions (oxalate anion is a bidentate ligand) occupy these sp3d2 orbitals. Hence, the geometry of the complex is found to be octahedral.
(iv) [CoF6]3−Cobalt exists in the +3 oxidation state. Orbitals of Co3+ ion: Again, fluoride ion is a weak field ligand. It cannot cause the pairing of the 3d electrons. As
128
result, the Co3+ ion will undergo sp3d2 hybridization.sp3d2 hybridized orbitals of Co3+ ion are: 81
Hence, the geometry of the complex is octahedral and paramagnetic.

SHORT ANSWER QUESTION ( 2 MARKS)
Q1. Why haloalkanes are more reactive than haloarenes?
Ans. In haloarenes,(i) there is double bond character b/w carbon and halogen due to resonance effect
which makes them less reactive. In benzene, carbon being sp2hybridisedwhich is smaller in size than sp3
present in haloalkanes. So C-Cl bond in aryl halides is shorter and stronger.
Q2. Why do haloalkenes undergo nucleophillic substitution whereas haloarenes undergo electophillic
substitution ?
Ans.Due to more electro negative nature of halide atom in haloalkanes carbon atom becomes slightly
positive and is easily attacked by nucleophillic reagents while in haloarenes due to resonance, carbon
atom becomes slightly negative and attacked by electrophillic reagents.
Q3.When an alkyl halide is treated with ethanolic solution of KCN, the major product is alkyl cyanide
where as if alkyl halide is treated with AgCN, the major product is alkyl isocyanide.
Ans.KCN is ionic they can attach through C or N but C-C bond is strong than C-N bond. So alkyl cyanide
is the major product but AgCN is covalent so more electronegative N can attach to C and forms
isocyanides.
Q4.How do 10, 20, 30 alcohols differ in terms of dehydrogenation?

Q5. Why are the reaction of alcohol /phenol with acid chloride carried out in the presence of pyridine?
Ans. Because esterification reaction is reversible and presence of base (pyridine ) neutralizes HCl
produced during reaction thus promoting forward reaction .
Q6 Explain why o-nitrophenol is more acidic than o-methoxy phenol?
Ans. -NO2 group is electron with drawing group, e- density on O decreases and loss of H+ is easy
whereas –OCH3 group is electron releasing group, which increases e- density on O , which makes
difficult to the loss of H+, hence are less acidic .
Q7. Aryl halides cannot be prepared by the action of sodium halide in the presence H2SO4 .Why?
Ans. Due to resonance the carbon- oxygen bond in phenols has partial double bond and it is stronger than
carbon oxygen single bond.
Q8. Why Grignard reagent should be prepared under anhydrous conditions?
Ans. Grignard reagent react with H2O to form alkanes, therefore they are prepared under anhydrous
condition.
Q9. Why is Sulphuric acid not used during the reaction of alcohols with KI ?
Ans. It is because HI formed will get oxidized to I2 by conc. Sulphuric acid which is an oxidizing agent.
Q10. p- dichlorobenzene has highest m.p. than those of ortho and m-isomers.?
Ans. p- dichlorobenzene is symmetrical, fits into crystal lattice more readily and has higher melting point.
Q11. Although chlorine is an electron- withdrawing group, yet it is ortho and para directing in
electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Why?
Ans. Chlorobenzene is resonance hybrid, there is –ve charge at 0- and para positions, electrophilic
substitution reaction will take place at 0- and para position due to +R effect.+R effect is dominating over
– I effect..
Q12. The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH lead to the formation of alcohols but in
presence of alcoholic KOH alkenes are major products. Explain?
Ans. In aqueous KOH,OH- is nucleophile which replaces another nucleophile.
R-X +KOH R-OH +KX
Where as in alcoholic KOH
C2H5OH +KOH C2H5O- + K+
CH3CH2-Cl + alcoholic KOH CH2=CH2 + C2H5OH
141
Q13. Explain why vinyl chloride is unreactive in nucleophilic substitution reaction? Ans. Vinyl chloride
is unreactive in nucleophilic substitution reaction because of double bond character between C=Cl bond
which is difficult to break.
CH2 = CH – Cl CH2- –CH =Cl+
Q14. Arrange the following compounds according to reactivity towards nucleophillic substitution reaction

CONCEPT BASED SOLVED QUESTIONS
SHORT QUESTIONS ( 2 MARKS)
1.Explain phenol is acidic? Phenoxide ion is resonance stabilised
Note:If electron with drawing group are attached into the benzene ring it enhances acidic character and
vice versa.
2,4,6-Trinitrophenol > 2,4,-Dinitrophenol > 4-Nitrophenol > phenol Phenol > m- cresol > P- cresol > O- cresol m-methoxyphenol > phenol> O- methoxy phenol > P- methoxy phenol. O- chloro phenol > O- bromophenol > O- iodo phenol > O- fluoro phenol
FORMATION OF PICRIC ACID
HNO3 Phenol Br2 (aq)
Picric acid (2,4,6-Trinitrophenol)
2,4,6-Tribromophenol(white ppt)
166
Q2) Phenols do not give protonation reactions readily. Why?
Ans:- The lone pair on oxygen of O-H in phenol is being shared with benzene ring through
resonance.Thus,lone pair is not fully present on oxygen and hence phenols do not undergo protonatian
reactions.
Q3. Explain why propanol has higher boiling point than that of the hydrocarbon, butane?
ANS. The molecules of Butane are held together by weak van der Waal‘s Forces of attraction while those
of propanol are held together by stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Ans. The nitro-group is an electron-withdrawing group. The presence of this group in the ortho position
decreases the electron density in the O−H bond. As a result, it is easier to lose a proton. Also, the o-
nitrophenoxide ion formed after the loss of protons is stabilized by resonance. Hence, ortho nitrophenol is
a stronger acid. On the other hand, methoxy group is an electron-releasing group. Thus, it increases the
electron density in the O−H bond and hence, the proton cannot be given out easily.Therefore ortho-
nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol.
167
Q5. Alcohols are comparatively more soluble in water than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular
masses. Explain this fact.
ANS. Alcohols can form hydrogen bonds with water and break the hydrogen bonds already existing
between water molecules Therefore they are soluble in water. Whereas hydrocarbons cannot form
hydrogen bonds with water and hence are insoluble in water.
Q6. While separating a mixture of ortho and para nitrophenols by steam distillation, name the isomer
which will be steam volatile. Give thane. O-nitrophenol is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen
bonding and hence can be separated by steam distillation from p-nitrophenol which is not steam volatile
because of inter-molecular hydrogen bonding.
Q7. Preparation of ethers by acid dehydration of secondary or tertiary alcohols is not a suitablemethod.
Give reason.
ANS. The formation of ethers by dehydration of alcohol is a bimolecular reaction (SN2) involvingthe
attack of an alcohol molecule on a protonated alcohol molecule. In the method, the alkylgroup should be
unhindered. In case of secondary or tertiary alcohols, the alkyl group ishindered. As a result, elimination
dominates substitution.
Q8. What is meant by hydroboration-oxidation reaction? Illustrate it with an example
ANS. Diborane (BH3)2 reacts with alkenes to give trialkyl boranes as addition product. This givesalcohol
by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide.
Q9. Which out of propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol is stronger acid?
ANS Propan-1-ol is stronger acid than propan-2-ol. The acidic strength of alcohols is in the order
10>20>30.
Q10. What is denaturation of an alcohol?
ANS. The commercial alcohol is made unfit for drinking by mixing in it some copper sulphate (togive it a
colour) and pyridine (a foul smelling liquid). It is known as denaturation of alcohol.
Q11. Give IUPAC name of CH3OCH2OCH3
ANS. Dimethoxymethane
168
Q12. Diethyl ether does not react with sodium. Explain.
ANS. Diethyl ether does not contain any active hydrogen.
Q13. Give two reactions that show the acidic nature of phenol. Compare acidity of phenol with that of
ethanol.
ANS. The acidic nature of phenol can be represented by the following two reactions: (i) Phenol reactswith
sodium to give sodium phenoxide, liberating H2.
Q14. How does phenol react with dilute and conc. HNO3?
ANS. (i) With dilute nitric acid at low temperature (298 K), phenol yields a mixture of ortho and para
Nitrophenols.
Q15.With concentrated nitric acid, phenol is converted to 2,4,6-trinitrophenol. The product is commonly known as picric acid
Q16. How does phenol react with Br2 in CS2 and Bromine water?
ANS. (i) When the reaction is carried out in solvents of low polarity such as CHCl3 or CS2 and at low
temperature, monobromophenols are formed.
169
Q17.When phenol is treated with bromine water, 2,4,6-tribromophenol is formed as whiteprecipitate.
Q18. How do you account for the fact that unlike phenol, 2, 4-dinitrophenol and 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol are
soluble in aqueous solution of sodium carbonate?
ANS. 2, 4-Dinitrophenol and 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol are stronger acids then carbonic acid (H2CO3) due to
the presence of electron withdrawing – NO2 groups. Hence, they react with Na2CO3 to form their
corresponding salts and dissolve in aq. Na2CO3 solution.
Q19. Explain why phenols do not undergo substitution of the –OH group like alcohols. ANS. (i) Due to
electron withdrawing effect of phenyl group, the C—O bond in phenol is less polar, whereas in case of
methanol the methyl group has electron releasing effect and hence
C—O bond in it is more polar.
(ii)C—O bond in phenols has partial double bond character due to resonance and hence is difficult to
cleave.
Q20. Account for the following:
a). Boiling point of the C2H5OH is more than that of C2H5Cl
b). The solubility of alcohols in water decreases with increase in molecular mass.
ANS. A). Because of hydrogen bonding.
b). With increase in molecular mass the non-polar alkyl group becomes more predominant.
Q21. Answer the following
a). What is the order of reactivity of 10, 20 and 30 alcohols with sodium metal?
b). How will you account for the solubility of lower alcohols in water?
170
Ans: a). 10>20>30.
b). Here—OH group is predominant and the alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with
watermolecules.
Q22. Give reasons:
i)Nitration of phenol gives ortho- and para- products only.
ii)Why do alcohols have higher boiling points than the haloalkanes of the same molecular mass?
ANS (1) –OH group increases the electron density more at ortho and para positions through itselectron
releasing resonance effect. Alcohols are capable of forming intermolecular H-bonds.
Q23. Account for the following:
(i)Phenols has a smaller dipole moment than methanol
Phenols donot give protonation reactions readily.
ANS i). In phenol the electron withdrawing inductive effect of –OH group is opposed by electron
releasing the resonance effect of –OH.
ii). The lone pair on oxygen of –OH in phenol is being shared with benzene ring through resonance. Thus,
lone pair is not fully present on oxygen and hence phenols do not undergo protonation reactions.
Q24. Explain the following facts that in aryl alkyl ethers (i) The alkoxy group activates the benzene ring
towards electrophilic substitution and (ii) It directs the incoming substituents to ortho and para positions
in benzene ring.
171
Thus, benzene is activated towards electrophilic substitution by the alkoxy group.
(ii)It can also be observed from the resonance structures that the electron density increases more at the
ortho and para positions than at the meta position. As a result, the incoming substituents are directed to
the ortho and para positions in the benzene ring.
Q25. How are primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols prepared from Grinard Reagents?
ANS.
The reaction produces a primary alcohol with thanei, a secondary alcohol with other aldehydes and
tertiary alcohol with ketones.
Q26. Give the equations of oxidation of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols by Cu at
573 K.
Q27. Give equations of the following reactions:
(i)Oxidation of propan-1-ol with alkaline KmnO4 solution.
Bromine in CS2 with phenol. (iii)Dilute HNO3 with phenol.
172
Q28) Ortho- nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho –methoxy phenol. Why?
Ans:- Nitro group is electron with drawing which increases acidic charcter.

The π Electron cloud of >C=O is unsymmetrical. On the other hand, due to same electronegativity of the
two carbon atoms, the π-electron of the >C=C< bond is symmetrical.
Nature of carbonyl group:- The Pi electron cloud of >C=O is unsymmetrical therefore, partial positive
charge develop over carbon of carbonyl group while negative charge develop over oxygen of carbonyl
group and dipole moment is approximate 2.6D.
Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic acids are important classes of organic compounds containing
carbonyl groups. They are highly polar molecules.
They boil at higher temperatures than the corresponding hydrocarbons and weakly polar compounds such
as ethers. Lower members are soluble in water because they can form H-bond with water. Higher
members are insoluble in water due to large size of their hydrophobic group.

test.
(Aromatic aldehydes do not give this test.)
6. What makes acetic acid a stronger acid than phenol?
A. Greater resonance stabilization of acetate ion over phenoxide ion.
Why HCOOH does not give HVZ (Hell Volhard Zelinsky) reaction but CH3COOH does? A. CH3COOH
contains alpha hydrogens and hence gives HVZ reaction but HCOOH does not contain alpha-hydrogen
and hence does not give HVZ reaction.
During preparation of esters from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst,
water or the ester formed should be removed as soon as it is formed.
A. The formation of esters from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of acid catalyst in a
reversible reaction.H2SO4
RCOOH + ROH RCOOR + H2O
To shift the equilibrium in the forward direction, the water or ester formed should be removed as fast as it
is formed.
9.Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their acid strength.
Benzoic acid, 4-Nitrobenzoic acid, 3, 4-dinitrobenzoic acid, 4-methoxy benzoic acid.
A. 4-methoxybenzoic acid < benzoic acid < 4-nitrobenzoic acid < 3,4, dinitrobenzoic acid. 10. How will
you distinguish between methanol and ethanol?
A. By Iodoform test: Ethanol having alpha-methyl group will give yellow ppt. of iodoform whereas
methanol does not have alpha methyl group will not give ppt. of iodoform.
10.Distinguish between: (i) Acetaldehyde and acetone (ii) Methanoic acid and Ethanoic acid.
A. (i) Acetaldehyde will give positive tests with Tollen‘s reagent and Fehling solutions whereas acetone
will not give these tests.
186
11.Methanoic acid gives Tollen‘s reagent test whereas ethanoic acid does not due to difference in their
boiling points.
12.Why are aldehydes more reactive than ketones ?
A. It is because of two reasons: The carboxyl compounds (both aldehydes & ketones) undergo
nucleophilic addition reaction. (i) + I effect: The alkyl group in ketones due to their e– releasing character
decrease the electrophilicity (+ ve) charge on c-atom and thus reduce its reactivity.
(Ii) Steric hindrance: Due to steric hindrance in ketones, they are less reactive.
13. Give the composition of Fehling A and Fehling B?
A. Fehling A = aq. CuSO4, Fehling B = alkaline sodium potassium tartarate (Rochelle salt). 14. Name
one reagent which can distinguish between 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone ?
14. 2-pentanone has a CH3CO-group, hence gives positive iodoform test. 3-pentanone does not have a
CH3CO-group, hence does not give positiIe iodIform test.
15. Why PCC cannot oxidise methanol to methane and while KMnO4 can?
This is because PCC is a mild oxidising agent and can oxide meththaneizethanal only. While KMnO4
being sthaneiidising agent oxidises it to metthaneizid.
16. Would you expect benzaldehyde to be more reactive or less reactive in nucleophlic addition reaction
than propanal? Explain.
A. C-atom of carbonyl group of benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than C-atom of carbonyl group in
propanal. Polarity of carbonyl group is in benzaldehyde reduced due to resonance making it less reactive
in nucleophilic addition reactions.There is no such resonance effect in propanal and so the polarity of
carboxyl group in it is more than in benzaldehyde.This makes propanal more reactive than benzaldehyde.
17. Why does methanal not give aldol condensatithanei ethanol gives?
A. This is because only those compounds which have alpha hydrogen atoms can undergo aldol reaction.
Ethanol possesses alpha -hydrogen and alpha undergoes aldo– condensation.Methanal has no alpha
hydrogen atoms, hence does not undergo aldol condensation.
187
18.Why does methanal undergo Cannizaro‘s reactthaneiBecause it does not possesses alpha hydrogen
atom. Only those aldehydes can undergo Cannizaro reaction which does not possess alpha hydrogen
atoms.
Arrange the following in order of increasing boiling points:
CH3CH2CH2OH, CH3CH2CH2CH3, CH3CH2 — OCH2CH3, CH3CH2CH2CHO A. CH3CH2CH2CH3<
C2H5OC2H5< CH3CH2CH2CHO < CH3 (CH2)2 OH
19.Why does solubility decreases with increasing molecular mass in carboxylic acid? A. Because of
increase in alkyl chain length which is hydrophobic in nature.
20.Although phenoxide ion has more no. of resonating structures than carboxylate ion,carboxylic acid is a
stronger acid. Why?
A. Conjugate base of phenol i.e.phenoxide ion has non-equivalent resonance structures in which –ve
charge is at less electronegative C-atom and +ve charge is at more electronegative O-atom i.e. Resonance
is not so effective.In carboxylate ion, – ve charge is delocalised on two electronegativethaneizatnce
resonance is more effective.
21.There are two — NH2 group in semicarbazide. However, only one is involved information of
semicarbazones. Why ?
A. Although semicarbazide has two — NH2 groups but one of them is involved in resonance.
As a result, e– density on one of the — NH2 group is reduced and hence it does not act as
nucleophile.Lone pair of other — NH2 group is not involved in resonance and is available for
nucleophilic attack.
22.Arrange the following carboxyl compounds in increasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic
addition reactions. Explain with proper reasoning:
Q.Benzaldehyde. p-tolualdeyde, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, Acetophenone.
A.Acetophenone is a ketone while all others are aldehydes, therefore it is least reactive. In p-
tolualdehyde, there is methyl group (CH3) at para position w.r.t. to the carboxyl gp, which increases the
electron density on the carbon of the carboxyl gp by hyperconjugation effect therebymaking it less
reactive than benzaldehyde.
188
23.Which acid of each pair shown here would you expect to be stronger? CH3CO2H or FCH2CO2H
A. FCH2CO2H
24.Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their reactivity towards HCN. Explain it with
proper reasoning. Acetaldehyde, Acetone, Di-tert-butyl ketone, Methyl tert-butyl ketone.
A. Addition of HCN to the carboxyl compounds is a nucleophilic addition reaction.The reactivity towards
HCN addition decreases as the + I effect of the alkyl gps. increases and/or the steric hindrance to the
nucleophilic attack by CN– at the carboxyl carbonincreases. Thus the reactivity decreases in the order:
Ditert-butyl Ketone < tert-Butyl methyl Ketone < Acetone < Acetaldehyde.

IUPAC NOMENCLATURE
NAME REACTIONS
1.Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
195
Gabriel synthesis is used for the preparation of primary amines. Phthalimide on treatment with ethanolic
potassium hydroxide forms potassium salt of phthalimide which on heating with alkyl halide followed by
alkaline hydrolysis produces the corresponding primary amine. Aromatic primary amines cannot be
prepared by this method because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilicsubstitution with the anion
formed by phthalimide.
2.Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction
Hoffmann developed a method for preparation of primary amines by treating an amide with bromine in an
aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide. The amine so formed contains one carbon less than
that present in the amide.
3.Carbylamine reaction
Aliphatic and aromatic primary amines on heating with chloroform and ethanolic potassium hydroxide
form isocyanides or carbylamines which are foul smelling substances. Secondary and tertiary amines do
not show this reaction. This reaction is known as thaneizati reaction or isocyanide test and is used as a test
for primary amines.
4.Hinsberg Test
Benzenesulphonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl), which is also known as Hinsberg‘s reagent, reacts with
primary and secondary amines to form sulphonamides.
196
The reaction of benzenesulphonyl chloride with primary amine yields N-ethylbenzenesulphonyl amide.
The hydrogen attached to nitrogen in sulphonamide is strongly acidic due to the presence of strong electron
withdrawing sulphonyl group. Hence, it is soluble in alkali.
(b) In the reaction with secondary amine, N,N-diethylbenzenesulphonamide is formed.
Since N, N-diethylbenzene sulphonamide does not contain any hydrogen atom attached to nitrogen atom, it
is not acidic and hence insoluble in alkali.
ITertiary amines do not react with benzenesulphonyl chloride. This property of amines reacting with
benzenesulphonyl chloride in a different manner is used for the distinction of primary, secondary and
tertiary amines and also for the separation of a mixture of amines.
5.Sandmeyer Reaction
The Cl–, Br– and CN– nucleophiles can easily be introduced in the benzene ring of diazonium salts in the
presence of Cu(I) ion.
6.Gatterman Reaction
Chlorine or bromine can be introduced in the benzene ring by treating the diazonium salt solution with
corresponding halogen acid in the presence of copper powder.
197
7.Coupling reactions
The azo products obtained have an extended conjugate system having both the aromatic rings joined
through the –N=N– bond. These compounds are often coloured and are used as dyes.
Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with phenol in which the phenol molecule at its para position is
coupled with the diazonium salt to form p-hydroxyazobenzene. This type of reaction is known as coupling
reaction.Similarly the reaction of diazonium salt with aniline yields p-aminoazobenzen
198
DISTINCTION BETWEEN PAIRS OF COMPOUNDS
Give one chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds. (i)Methylamine and
dimethylamine (ii) Secondary and tertiary amines (iii) Ethylamine and aniline
(iv)Aniline and benzylamine (v) Aniline and N-methylaniline.
ANS. (i) Methylamine and dimethylamine can be distinguished by the thaneizati test. Carbylamine test:
Aliphatic and aromatic primary amines on heating with chloroform and ethanolic potassium hydroxide
form foul-smelling isocyanides or carbylamines. Methylamine (being an aliphatic primary amine) gives a
positive thaneizati test, but dimethylamine does not.
Secondary and tertiary amines can be distinguished by allowing them to react with Hinsberg‘s reagent
(benzenesulphonyl chloride, C6H5SO 2Cl). Secondary amines react with Hinsberg‘s reagent to form a
product that is insoluble in an alkali. For example, N, N−diethylamine reacts with Hinsberg‘s reagent to
form N, N−diethylbenzenesulphonamide, which is insoluble in an alkali. Tertiary amines, however, do
not react with Hinsberg‘s reagent.
(iii)Ethylamine and aniline can be distinguished using the azo-dye test. A dye is obtained when
147aromatic amines react with HNO2 (NaNO2 + dil.HCl) at 0-5°C, followed by a reaction with the
alkaline solution of 2-naphthol. The dye is usually yellow, red, or orange in colour. Aliphatic amines give
a brisk effervescence due (to the evolution of N2 gas) under similar conditions.
OH

00–50C
CH3NH2 + HNO2 C2H5 OH + N2 ↑ +H2O
Aniline and benzylamine can be distinguished by their reactions with the help of nitrous acid, which is
prepared in situ from a mineral acid and sodium nitrite. Benzylamine reacts with nitrous acid to form
unstable diazonium salt, which in turn gives alcohol with the evolution of nitrogen gas.
On the other hand, aniline reacts with HNO2 at a low temperature to form stable diazonium salt. Thus,
nitrogen gas is not evolved.
Aniline and N-methylaniline can be distinguished using the Carbylamine test. Primary amines, on heating
with chloroform and ethanolic potassium hydroxide, form
foul-smelling isocyanides or carbylamines. Aniline, being an aromatic primary amine, gives positive
thaneizati test. However, N-methylaniline, being a secondary amine does not.

CONCEPT BASED SOLVED QUESTIONS
SHORT QUESTIONS (2 MARKS)
Q1. Account for the following: i)Pkb of aniline is more than that of methylamine. (ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not. (iii)Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate hydrated ferric oxide.
(iv)Although amino group is o– and p– directing in aromatic electrophilicsubstitution reactions, aniline on
nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.
v)Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.
Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines. Ans. (i) pKb of aniline
is more than that of methylamine:
Aniline undergoes resonance and as a result, the electrons on the N-atom are delocalized over the benzene
ring. Therefore, the electrons on the N-atom are less available to donate.
129
On the other hand, in case of methylamine (due to the +I effect of methyl group), the electron density on
the N-atom is increased. As a result, aniline is less basic than methylamine. Thus, pKb of aniline is more
than that of methylamine. (ii)Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not:
Ethylamine when added to water forms intermolecular H−bonds with water. Hence, itis soluble in water.
But aniline does not undergo H−bonding with water to a very large extent due to the presence of a large
hydrophobic –C6H5 group. Hence, aniline is insoluble in water. (iii)Methylamine in water reacts with
ferric chloride to precipitate hydrated ferricoxide: Due to the +I effect of –CH3 group, methylamine is
more basic than water. Therefore, in water, methylamine produces OH− ions by accepting H+ ions from
water.Ferric chloride
201
(FeCl3) dissociates in water to form Fe3+ and Cl− ions.Then, OH− ion reacts with Fe3+ ion to form a
precipitate of hydrated ferric oxide.
(iv)Although amino group is o, p− directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, 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).For this reason, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-
nitroaniline.
(v)Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction:
A Friedel-Crafts reaction is carried out in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3. But AlCl3 is acidic in
nature(Lewis acid), while aniline is a strong base. Thus, aniline reacts with AlCl3 to form a salt. Due to
the positive charge on the N-atom, electrophilic substitution in the benzene ring is deactivated. Hence,
aniline does not undergo the Friedel-Crafts reaction.
vi)Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines:
The diazonium ion undergoes resonance as shown below:
This resonance accounts for the stability of the diazonium ion. Hence, diazonium salts of aromatic amines
are more stable than those of aliphatic amines.
Q2. Why aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis? Ans. Gabriel
phthalimide synthesis is used for the preparation of aliphatic primary amines. It involves nucleophilic
substitution (SN2) of alkyl halides by the anion formed by the phthalimide. But aryl halides do not
undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by the phthalimide.
202
Hence, aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by this process.
Q3. Give possible explanation for each of the following:
(i)Why are amines less acidic than alcohols of comparable molecular masses?
(ii)Why do primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines?
iii)Why are aliphatic amines stronger bases than aromatic amines?
Ans. (i) Amines undergo protonation to give amide ion. Similarly, alcohol loses a proton to give alkoxide
ion.In an amide ion, the negative charge is on the N-atom whereas in alkoxide ion, the negative charge is
on the O-atom. Since O is more electronegative than N, O can accommodate the negative charge more
easily than N. As a result, the amide ion is less stable than the alkoxide ion. Hence, amines are less acidic
than alcohols of comparable molecular masses.
In a molecule of tertiary amine, there are no H−atoms whereas in primary amines,two hydrogen atoms
are present. Due to the presence of H−atoms, primary amines undergo extensive intermolecular
H−bonding.As a result, extra energy is required to separate the molecules of primary amines. Hence,
primary amines have higher boiling points than tertiary amines.
(iii)Due to the –R effect of the benzene ring, the electrons on the N- atom are less available in case of
aromatic amines. Therefore, the electrons on the N-atom in aromatic amines cannot be donated
Q4. Write short notes on ammonolysis.
When an alkyl or benzyl halide is allowed to react with an ethanolic solution of ammonia, it undergoes
nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the halogen atom is replaced by an amino (−NH2) group. This
process of cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond is known as ammonolysis.When this substituted
ammonium salt is treated with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, amine is obtained.
Though primary amine is produced as the major product, this process produces a mixture of primary,
secondary and tertiary amines, and also a quaternary ammonium salt.
Q5. Write short notes on acetylation.
Acetylation is the process of introducing an acetyl group into a molecule. Aliphatic and aromatic primary
and secondary amines undergo acetylation reaction by nucleophilic substitution when treated with acid
chlorides, anhydrides or esters. This reaction involves the replacement of the hydrogen atom of –NH2 or
203
group by the acetyl group, which in turn leads to the production of amides. To shift the equilibrium to the
right hand side, the HCl formed during the reaction is removed as soon as it is formed. This reaction is
carried out in the presence of a base (such as pyridine) which is stronger than the amine.
Pyridine
C2 H5NH2 +CH3COCl
Q6.Why are amines basic in character?
C2H5NHCOCH3+ HCl
ANS. Like ammonia, the nitrogen atom in amines RNH2is trivalent and bears an unshared pair of
electrons. Thus it acts like a Lewis base and donates the pair of electrons to electron- deficient species
which further increases due to +I effect of alkyl radical.
Q7. Arrange the following in decreasing order of their basic strength: C6H5NH2, C2H5 NH2, (C2H5)2NH,
NH3.
The decreasing order of basic strength of the above amines and ammonia follows the following
order:(C2H5)2NH > C2H5 NH2 > NH3> C6H5NH2
Q8. Write the reactions of (i) aromatic and (ii) aliphatic primary amines with nitrous acid.
204
ANS. (i) Aromatic amines react with nitrous acid (prepared from NaNO2 and a mineral acid such as HCl)
at 273 – 278 K to form stable aromatic diazonium salts, NaCl and H2O. (ii)Aliphatic primary amines react
with nitrous acid (prepared from NaNO2 and a mineral acid such as HCl) to form unstable aliphatic
diazonium salts, which further produce alcohol and HCl with the evolution of N2 gas.

7.Glycosidic Linkage: The linkage between two monosaccharide units through oxygen is called the
glycosidic linkage.
Proteins: These are macro molecules made up of amino acids joined via a peptide link (-(-CO-NH-)- is the
peptide linkage). These are required for growth and development of the body.
Amino Acids: These contain an amino (-NH2) and an acidic (-COOH) group and are therefore amphoteric in
nature. In solution they exist in the form of zwitter ion.

12.Denaturation of Protein: The protein in native state, when subjected to a physical change like
temperature, Ph etc undergoes uncoiling and looses it’s biological activity. The 2o and 3o structures are
destroyed, only 1o structure is retained.
Renaturation of Protein:
Some proteins regain their biological activity by reversible process it is called Renaturation of Proteins. In
such a cases, when temperature in Ph of a denatured proteins is brought back to conditions in which the
native protein is stable, secondary and tertiary structures of proteins are restored to which leads to recovery
of biological activity.
Enzymes: These are biocatalyst which catalyse biochemical reactions and generally are globular proteins
e.g., invertase, zymase, phenylalaninehydroxylase, urease etc.
Vitamins: They are organic compounds required in the diet in small amounts to perform specific biological
functions for maintenance of optimum growth and health of the organism. They are classified as follows
(i) Fat Soluble Vitamins: Vitamin A, D, E and K. They are stored in liver and adipose tissues.
(ii) Water Soluble Vitamins: B complex vitamins and vitamin C. They need to supplied regularly in diet as
they are excreted in urine and cannot be stored (except vitamin B12) in our body.
Their deficiency causes diseases. Biotin (Vit H) is however neither fat nor water soluble. It’s deficiency
leads to loss of hair.
214
Nucleic Acids: These are biomolecules which are long chain polymers of nucleotides. They are: (i)
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ii) Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
They are responsible for protein synthesis and transfer of genetic characteristics to offspring’s.
Composition of Nucleic Acid:
They are made up of pentose sugar (β-D-2-deoxyribose in DNA and β-D-ribose in RNA), phosphoric acid
and nitrogen containing heterocyclic compound (base). DNA- Bases present are Adenine (A), Thymine
(T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine(C).
RNA- contains Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine(C) and Uracil (U).
Nucleoside: The unit formed by the attachment of a base to 1’-position of sugar (Base + Sugar).
Nucleotide: Nucleoside and phosphoric acid at 5’-position. Nucleotides are bonded by phosphodiester
linkages between 5’ and 3’ carbon atoms of pentose sugar (Base+ Sugar+
Phosphoric Acid).
DNA : has a double helical structure with AT and GC linked together through 2 and 3 hydrogen bonds
respectively. It is responsible for transfer of genetic characteristics.
RNA: is of three types- messenger RNA (m-RNA), ribosomal RNA (r-RNA) and transfer RNA (t-RNA).
RNA helps in protein synthesis.
Biological Functions of Nuclei Acid: DNA is chemical basis of hereditary and have the coded message for
proteins to be synthesized in the cell. RNA carry out the protein synthesis in the cell.

SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS(2&3* MARKS)
1.What is a biodegradable polymer ? Give an example of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester.
Ans. Polymers which decomposes over a period of time due to environmental degradation by bacteria,
etc. are called biodegradable polymers. E. g. PHBV
2.How can you differentiate between addition and condensation polymerization ?
Ans.: In addition polymerization the molecules of the same monomer or different
.monomers add together on a large scale to form a polymer. The monomers used are
unsaturated compounds, e.g., alkenes, alkadienes and their derivatives.
Condensation thaneization generally involves a repetitive condensation reaction between
two di-functional monomers. These polycondensation reactions may result in the loss of
some simple molecules as water, alcohol, etc., and lead to the formation of high molecular
mass condensation
polymers. E.g. , Nylon 6,6.
3. What is the function of sulphur in vulcanization of rubber?
Ans: Sulphur introduces sulphur cross linkages between the chains. So it becomes more tensile
strength, elasticity and resistance to abrasion etc.
Write down the two differences between thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic and examples.
Ans.: Thermoplastic are the linear or slightly branched long chain molecules capable of repeatedly
softening on heating and hardeningon cooling. These polymers possess intermolecular forces of
attraction intermediate between elastomers and fibers. Some common thermoplastics are polythene,
polystyrene, polyvinyls, etc.
229
Thermosetting plastic polymers are cross linked or heavily branched molecules, which on heating
undergo extensive cross linking in moulds and again become infusible. These cannot be reused.
Some common examples are Bakelite, urea-formaldehyde resins, etc.
5.Differentiate Novolac and Bakelite on the basis of structure.
Ans: A linear product of Phenol – formaldehyde polymeris novolac, used in paints. Novolac on
heating with formaldehyde undergoes cross linking to form an infusible solid mass called bakelite.
It is used for making combs, phonograph records, electrical switches and handles of various
utensils.
6.Distinguish between the terms homopolymer and copolymer and give an example of each.
Ans: the addition polymers formed by the polymerization of a single monomeric species are known
as homopolymers, e.g., polythene.
The polymers made by addition polymerization from two different monomers are termed as
copolymers, e.g., Buna-S, Buna-N, etc.
7.How will you differentiate between LDP and HDP?
Ans: Low density polythene: It is obtained by the polymerization of thane under high pressure of
1000 to 2000 atmospheres at a temperature of 350 K to 570 K in the presence of traces of dioxygen
or a peroxide initiator (catalyst).
Low density polythene is chemically inert and tough but flexible and a poor conductor of
electricity.E.g., squeeze bottles, toys and flexible pipes.
High density polythene: It is formed when addition polymerization of thane takes place in a
hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a catalyst Ziegler-Natta catalyst at a temperature of 333 K to
K and under a pressure of 6-7 atmospheres. HDP consists of linear.Molecules and has a high
density due to close packing. It is more tougher and harder. It is used for manufacturing buckets,
dustbins, bottles, pipes, etc.

230
9*. How are polymers classified on the basis of structure?
Ans. On the basis of structure, the polymers are classified as below:
(i)Linear polymers such as polythene, polyvinyl chloride, HDP etc.
Branched chain polymers such as low density polythene, LDP, etc.
Cross linked polymers such as Bakelite, melamine, etc.
10*. Write the monomers of the following polymers:
Ans.(i) 1, 3 – butadiene and acrylonitrile (ii) tetrafluoroethene (iii)chloroprene.
11. Explain elastomeric polymers & Fibres
Ans: These are rubber – like solids with elastic properties. In these elastomeric polymers, the polymer
chains are held together by the weakest intermolecular forces. These weak binding forces permit the
polymer to be stretched. A few ‘crosslinks’ are introduced in between the chains, which help the polymer
to retract to its original position after the force is released as in vulcanized rubber. The examples are
buna-S, buna-N, neoprene, etc. Fibres arethe thread forming solids which possess high tensile strength
and high modulus. These characteristics can be attributed to the strong intermolecular forces like
hydrogen bonding. These strong forces also lead to close packing of chains and thus impart crystalline
nature. The examples are polyamides (nylon 6, 6), polyesters (terylene), etc.

DRUGS – Drugs are chemical of low molecular masses, which interact with macromolecular targets and
produce a biological response.
CHEMOTHERAPY- The use of chemicals for therapeutic effect is called chemotherapy.
CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS –
ON THE BASIS OF PHARMACOLOGICAL EFFECT-drugs for a particular type of problem e.g. as
analgesics-----for pain relieving.
ON THE BASIS OF DRUG ACTION-Action of drug on a particular biochemical process.
ON THE BASIS OF CHEMICAL ACTION-Drugs having similar structure .eg- sulpha drugs.
ON THE BASIS OF MOLECULAR TARGETS- Drugs interacting with biomolecules as lipids, proteins.
4. ENZYMES AS DRUG TARGETS
(i) CATALYTIC ACTION OF ENZYMES-
236
237
Enzymes have active sites which hold the substrate molecule .it can be attracted by reacting molecules.
Substrate is bonded to active sites through hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, Vander Waal or dipole –dipole
interactions.
(ii) DRUG- ENZYME INTERACTIONS-
(a)Drug complete with natural substrate for their attachments on the active sites of enzymes .They are
called competitive inhibitors.
(b)Some drugs binds to a different site of the enzyme called allosteric sites which changes the shape of
active sites.
ANTAGONISTS- The drugs that bind to the receptor site and inhibit its natural function.
AGONISTS-Drugs mimic the natural messenger by switching on the receptor.
ANTACIDS-These are compounds which neutralize excess acid of stomach.eg-Aluminium hydroxide,
Magnesium hydroxide.
ANTI HISTAMINES-The drugs which interfere with the natural action of histamines and prevent the
allergic reaction. eg- rantidine, tegamet, avil.
TRANQULIZERS-The class of chemical compounds used for the treatment of stress, mild or even severe
mental diseases. Eg- luminal, seconal, equanil, idardil, iproniagid.
ANALGESICS-They reduce pain without causing impairment of consciousness, mental confusion or
some other disturbance of the nervous system. Eg - aspirin, seridon, phenacetin.
ANTIMICROBIALS-They tend to prevent/destroy or inhibit the pathogenic action of microbes as
bacteria ,virus ,fungi etc. They are classified as (i)ANTIBIOTICS-Those are the chemicals substances
which are produced by micro-organisms and use to kill the pathogenic micro-organism.
Eg- Pencillin , ofloxacin .NARROW SPECTRUM ANTI-BIOTICS-These are effective mainly against
gram positive or gram negative bacteria. Eg- Penicillin , streptomycin.
238
BROAD SPECTRUM ANTI-BIOTICS-They kill or inhibit a wide range of micro-organisms.
eg- chloramphenicol , tetracycline .
(ii)ANTISEPTICS OR DISINFECTANT-These are which either kill/inhibit the growth of micro-
organisms. Antiseptics are applied to the living tissues such as wounds, cuts, ulcers etc. eg-furacine,
chloroxylenol & terpinol (Dettol) .Disinfectant are applied to inanimate objects such as floors , drainage ,
system.
Eg- 0.2% solution of phenol is an antiseptic while 1% solution is disinfectant.

also called oral contraceptives or birth control pills. Eg-Mifepristone, norethindrone.
ARTIFICIAL SWEETNING AGENTS-These are the chemical compounds which give sweetening effect
to the food without adding calorie.
They are good for diabatic people e.g.- aspartame, saccharin, alitame , sucrolose.
FOOD PRESERVATIVES- They prevents spoilage of food to microbial growth.eg-salt, sugar, and
sodium benzoate.
CLEANSING AGENTS-
SOAPS- They is sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids. They are obtained by the
saponification reaction, when fatty acids are heated with aqueous sodium hydroxide. They do not work
well in hard water.
TOILETS SOAP-This is prepared by using better grade of fatty acids and excess of alkali needs to be
removed. colour & perfumes are added to make them attractive. (iv)MEDICATED SOAPS- Substances
of medicinal value are added.eg- Bithional, Dettol.ies of soaps, but actually contain no soap .They can
used in both soft and hard water .They are-
(i)ANIONIC DETERGENTS-They are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or
hydrocarbons.eg-sodium lauryl sulphonate. They are effective in acidic solution.
H2SO4NaOH(aq)
-Na+ CH3 (CH2)10 CH2OH CH3 (CH2)10CH2OSO3H CH3 (CH2)10CH2SO3

239
(ii)CATIONIC DETERGENTS- They are quaternary ammonium salts of amines with acetates , chlorides,
or bromides.They are expensive used to limited extent.eg-Cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide.
(iii)NON-IONIC DETERGENTS- They does not contain any ions. Some liquid dishwashing detergents
which are of non-ionic type.
