Q1
Out of KCl and AgCl, which one shows Schottky defect and why?
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Schottky defect is shown by ionic compounds having small difference in the size of cations and anions. Out of KCl and AgCl, it is shown by KCl, due to comparable sizes of K+ and Cl– ions.

Q2
Why does ZnO appear yellow on heating?
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
When zinc oxide is heated, it loses oxygen and there is an excess of Zn2+ ions. The number of excess Zn2+ ions trapped in the interstitial sites is equal to the number of electrons trapped in neighbouring interstitial sites. The presence of free electrons gives rise to the enhanced electrical conductivity and yellow colour to the crystal.

Q5
Out of Chlorobenzene and Cyclohexyl chloride, which one is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction and why?
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Out of Chlorobenzene and Cyclohexyl chloride, Cyclohexyl chloride is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction due to partial double bond character of C-Cl bond in Chlorobenzene which is difficult to break. Also chlorobenzene is resonance stablised.

Q9
(a) Write two poisonous gases prepared from chlorine gas.
(b) Why does Cu2+ solution give blue colour on reaction with ammonia?
Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
(a)Chlorine gas is used in the preparation of poisonous gases such as phosgene (COCl2) and tear gas (CCl3NO2).
(b) When ammonia reacts with Cu2+ solution, blue coloured solution is formed due to the formation of a complex.

Q10
Give reasons:
(a) Cooking is faster in pressure cooker than in cooking pan.
(b) Red Blood Cells (RBC) shrink when placed in saline water but swell in distilled water.
Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
(a) Due to increase in pressure caused by steam inside the cooker, the boiling point of water increases. Therefore, cooking is faster in pressure cooker than in cooking pan.
(b) When RBCs are placed in saline which is a hypertonic salt solution, water moves from inside the cell to the outside by osmosis that causes the cells to shrink. But when RBCs are placed in distilled water which is a hypotonic solution, water moves from outside of the cell to the inside and the cell swells.
