(B) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(C) Both A and R are not correct.

(D) A is not correct but R is correct.

13. Assertion : The empirical mass of ethene is half of its molecular mass.

Reason : The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present
in a compound.

14. Assertion : Smaller the size of an atom greater is the electronegativity.

Reason : Electronegativity refers to the tendency of atom so share electrons with other atom.
15. Assertion : The bond order of helium is always zero.

Reason : The number of electrons in bonding molecular orbital and antibonding molecular orbital is
equal.

16. Assertion: In a reaction

Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

Zn is a reductant but itself get oxidized.

Reason: In a redox reaction, oxidant is reduced by accepting electrons and reductant is oxidized by
losing electrons.

29. Thermodynamics involve energy changes in chemical reactions and other processes. Internal energy
is total energy stored in a substance. We can specify absolute value of volume but not the absolute
value of internal energy. We can measure only change in internal energy (△U). Work done on the
system is taken as positive and work done by the system is taken as negative. Heat (q) absorbed by
the system is +ve and heat given out by system is negative.
△U = q + w according to first law of thermodynamics.
△H (enthalpy change) is measured at constant pressure,
△U is measured at constant volume.
△S (entropy change),
△G (free energy change) and temperature help to decide spontaneity of the process.

(I) What is △U in adiabatic process?

(II) If 701 J of heat is absorbed by the system and 394 J of work is done by the system.
What is value of△ U?

(III) 2 litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally into vacuum until
its total volume is 10 litres. How much heat is absorbed and work done in the
expansion?

(IV) For an equilibrium H2 O(l) ⇌H2 O(g), What are sign of △G, △H.

30. Organic reactions can be classified into four main categories. Substitution reactions, addition
reactions, elimination reactions and rearrangement reactions. Substitution reactions can be further
classified into free radical, nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution reactions. Addition reactions
can be nucleophilic as well as electrophilic addition reactions. Dehydration, dehydrohalogenation,
dehalogenation are examples of elimination reactions. Conversion by ammonium cyanate to urea is
an example of rearrangement reactions. Reactions are classified on the basis to nature of intermediate
species formed. Mechanism of reaction is exact path followed by the reaction involving all steps
showing intermediates and slowest steps of the reaction which is rate determining step. Oxidation,
reduction, combustion reactions are also important in hydrocarbons.
