Question 17.
How cryopreservation works?
Answer:
Cryopreservation, also known as Cryo-conservation, is a process by which protoplasts, cells, tissues, organelles, organs, extracellular matrix, enzymes or any other biological materials are subjected to preservation by cooling to very low temperature of -196°C using liquid nitrogen. At this extreme low temperature any enzymatic or chemical activity of the biological material will be totally stopped and this leads to preservation of material in dormant status. Later these materials can be activated by bringing to room temperature slowly for any experimental work.

Question 18.
What is Co-evolution? Give examples.

Question 20.
(a) Name the tissue that nourishes the embryo in angiospermic seeds. Explain its types.
Answer:
Structure of ovuIe (Megasporangium)
Endosperm: The primary endosperm nucleus (PEN) divides immediately after fertilization but before the zygote starts to divide, into an endosperm. The primary endosperm nucleus is the result of triple fusion (two polar nuclei and one sperm nucleus) and thus has 3n number of chromosomes. It is a nutritive tissue and regulatory structure that nourishes the developing embryo. Depending upon the mode of development three types of endosperm are recognized in angiosperms. They are nuclear endosperm, cellular endosperm and helobial endosperm.

Nuclear endosperm: Primary Endosperm Nucleus undergoes several mitotic divisions without cell wall formation thus a free nuclear condition exists in the endosperm.
Examples: Coccinia, Capsella and Arachis.

Cellular endosperm:
Primary endosperm nucleus divides into 2 nuclei and it is immediately followed by wall formation. Subsequent divisions also follow cell wall formation.
Examples: Adoxa, Helianthus and Scoparia.

Helobial endosperm: Primary Endosperm Nucleus moves towards base of embryo sac and divides into two nuclei. Cell wall formation takes place leading to the formation of a large micropylar and small chalazal chamber. The nucleus of the micropylar chamber undergoes several free nuclear division whereas that of chalazal chamber may or may not divide. Examples : Hydrilla and Vallisneria.

Ruminate endosperm: The endosperm with irregularity and unevenness in its surface forms ruminate endosperm. Examples : Areca catechu, Passiflora and Myristica.

[OR]

(b) Describe the basic steps involved in recombinant DNA technology.
Answer:

• Isolation of a DNA fragment containing a gene of interest that needs to be cloned. This is called an insert.
• Generation of recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecule by insertion of the DNA fragment into a carrier molecule called a vector that can self-replicate within the host cell.
• Selection of the transformed host cells that is carrying the rDNA and allowing them to multiply thereby multiplying the rDNA molecule.
• The entire process thus generates either a large amount of rDNA or a large amount of protein expressed by the insert.
• Wherever vectors are not involved the desired gene is multiplied by PCR technique. The multiple copies are injected into the host cell protoplast or it is shot into the host cell protoplast by shot gun method.
  

Question 21.
(a) Derive the protocol for micro propagation of banana.
Answer:

[OR]

(b) Expand NBT and Explain how it is involved in developing new traits in plant breeding.
Answer:
New Breeding Techniques (NBT) are a collection of methods that could increase and accelerate the development of new traits in plant breeding. These techniques often involve genome editing, to modify DNA at specific locations within the plants to produce new traits in crop plants. The various methods of achieving these changes in traits include the following,

• Cutting and modifying the genome during the repair process by tools like CRISPR /Cas.
• Genome editing to introduce changes in few base pairs using a technique called Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis (ODM).
• Transferring a gene from an identical or closely related species (cisgenesis).
• Organising processes that alter gene activity without altering the DNA itself (epigenetic methods).

Question 16.
Differentiate between divergent evolution and convergent evolution with one example for each.
Answer:

Question 17.
Under which conditions does a bacterium develops resistance against antibiotics?
Answer:
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drug designed to kill or inhibit their growth. It is one of the most acute threat to public health. Antibiotic resistance is accelerated by the misuse and over use of antibiotics, as well as poor infection prevention control.

Antibiotics should be used only when prescribed by a certified health professional. When the bacteria become resistant, antibiotics cannot fight against them and the bacteria multiply. Narrow spectrum antibiotics are preferred over broad spectrum antibiotics. They effectively and accurately target specific pathogenic organisms and are less likely to cause resistance.

Question 20.
(a) Menstruation – a cyclic event occurring in every normal woman throughout her fertile period. Name the various phases of the menstruation and explain it.
Answer:
Menstrual cycle: The menstrual or ovarian cycle occurs approximately once in every 28/29 days during the reproductive life of the female from menarche (puberty) to menopause except during pregnancy. The cycle of events starting from one menstrual period till the next one is called the menstrual cycle during which cyclic changes occurs in the endometrium every month. Cyclic menstruation is an indicator of normal reproductive phase.

Menstrual cycle comprises of the following phases:

1. Menstrual phase
2. Follicular or proliferative phase
3. Ovulatory phase
4. Luteal or secretory phase

1. Menstrual phase: The cycle starts with the menstrual phase when menstrual flow occurs and lasts for 3-5 days. Menstrual flow is due to the breakdown of endometrial lining of the uterus, and its blood vessels due to decline in the level of progesterone and oestrogen. Menstruation occurs only if the released ovum is not fertilized. Absence of menstruation may be an indicator of pregnancy. However it could also be due to stress, hormonal disorder and anaemia.

2. Follicular or proliferative phase: The follicular phase extends from the 5th day of the cycle until the time of ovulation. During this phase, the primary follicle in the ovary grows to become a fully mature Graafian follicle and simultaneously, the endometrium regenerates through proliferation. These changes in the ovary and the uterus are induced by the secretion of gonadotropins like FSH and LH, which increase gradually during the follicular phase. It stimulates follicular development and secretion of oestrogen by the follicle cells.

3. Ovulatory phase: Both LH and FSH attain peak level in the middle of the cycle (about the 14th day). Maximum secretion of LH during the mid cycle called LH surge induces the rupture of the Graafian follicle and the release of the ovum (secondary oocyte) from the ovary wall into the peritoneal cavity. This process is called as ovulation.

4. Luteal or secretory phase: During luteal phase, the remaining part of the Graafian follicle is transformed into a transitory endocrine gland called corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes large amount of progesterone which is essential for the maintenance of the endometrium. If fertilization takes place, it paves way for the implantation of the fertilized ovum. The uterine wall secretes nutritious fluid in the uterus for the foetus. So, this phase is also called as secretory phase. During pregnancy all events of menstrual cycle stop and there is no menstruation.

In the absence of fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates completely and leaves a scar tissue called corpus albicans. It also initiates the disintegration of the endometrium leading to menstruation, marking the next cycle.

[OR]

(b) Deoxy Ribo Nucleic Acid the life thread which acts as a genetic material for majority of living organism. Enlist the properties of DNA that makes it an ideal genetic material.
Answer:
(1) Self Replication: It should be able to replicate. According to the rule of base pairing and complementarity, both nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) have the ability to direct duplications. Proteins fail to fulfill this criteria.

(2) Stability: It should be stable structurally and chemically. The genetic material should be stable enough not to change with different stages of life cycle, age or with change in physiology of the organism. Stability as one of property of genetic material was clearly evident in Griffith’s transforming principle. Heat which killed the bacteria did not destroy some of the properties of genetic material. In DNA the two strands being complementary, if separated (denatured) by heating can come together (renaturation) when appropriate condition is provided.

Further 2’ OH group present at every nucleotide in RNA is a reactive group that makes RNA liable and easily degradable. RNA is also known to be catalytic and reactive. Hence, DNA is chemically more stable and chemically less reactive when compared to RNA. Presence of thymine instead of uracil in DNA confers additional stability to DNA.

(3) Information storage: It should be able to express itself in the form of ‘Mendelian characters’. RNA can directly code for protein synthesis and can easily express the characters. DNA, however depends on RNA for synthesis of proteins. Both DNA and RNA can act as a genetic material, but DNA being more stable stores the genetic information and RNA transfers the genetic information.

(4) Variation through mutation: It should be able to mutate. Both DNA and RNA are able to mutate. RNA being unstable, mutates at a faster rate. Thus viruses having RNA genome with shorter life span can mutate and evolve faster. The above discussion indicates that both RNA and DNA can function as a genetic material. DNA is more stable, and is preferred for storage of genetic information.

Question 21.
(a) Explain the structure of Immunoglobulin molecule with a suitable diagram.
Answer:
An antibody molecule is Y shaped structure that comprises of four polypeptide chains, two identical light chains (L) of molecular weight 25,000 Da (approximately 214 amino acids) and two identical heavy chains (H) of molecular weight 50,000 Da (approximately 450 amino acids). The polypeptide chains are linked together by di-sulphide (S-S) bonds. One light chain is attached to each heavy chain and two heavy chains are attached to each other to form a Y shaped structure. Hence, an antibody is represented by H2 L2. The heavy chains have a flexible hinge region at their approximate middles.

Each chain (L and H) has two terminals. They are C – terminal (Carboxyl) and amino or N-terminal. Each chain (L and H) has two regions. They have variable (V) region at one end and a much larger constant (C) region at the other end.

Antibodies responding to different antigens have very different (V) regions but their (C) regions are the same in all antibodies. In each arm of the monomer antibody, the (V) regions of the heavy and light chains combines to form an antigen – binding site shaped to ‘fit’ a specific antigenic determinant.

Consequently each antibody monomer has two such antigen – binding regions. The (C) regions that forms the stem of the antibody monomer determine the antibody class and serve common functions in all antibodies.

[OR]

(b) List out the uses of Transgenesis.
Answer:
(1) Transgenesis is a powerful tool to study gene expression and developmental processes in
higher organisms.

(2) Transgenesis helps in the improvement of genetic characters in animals. Transgenic animals serve as good models for understanding human diseases which help in the investigation of new treatments for diseases. Transgenic models exist for many human diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and sickle cell anemia.

(3) Transgenic animals are used to produce proteins which are important for medical and pharmaceutical applications.

(4) Transgenic mice are used for testing the safety of vaccines.

(5) Transgenic animals are used for testing toxicity in animals that carry genes which make them sensitive to toxic substances than non-transgenic animals exposed to toxic substances and their effects are studied.

(6) Transgenesis is important for improving the quality and quantity of milk, meat, eggs and wool production in addition to testing drug resistance.

When the pollen of dark green leaved plant (male) is transferred to the stigma of pale green leaved plant (female) and pollen of pale green leaved plant is transferred to the stigma of dark green leaved plant, the F, generation of both the crosses must be identical as per Mendelian inheritance.
Chloroplast inheritance.

But in the reciprocal cross the F₁ plant differs from each other. In each cross, the F₁ plant reveals the character of the plant which is used as female plant.

This inheritance is not through nuclear gene. It is due to the chloroplast gene found in the ovum of the female plant which contributes the cytoplasm during fertilization since the male gamete contribute only the nucleus but not cytoplasm.

[OR]

(b) Explain in detail about various types of direct gene transfer method.
Answer:

(1) Chemical mediated gene transfer:
Certain chemicals like polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dextran sulphate induce DNA uptake into plant protoplasts.

(2) Microinjection: The DNA is directly injected into the nucleus using Electroporation Methods of Gene Transfer fine tipped glass needle or micro pipette to transform plant cells. The protoplasts are immobilised on a solid support (agarose on a microscopic slide) or held with a holding pipette under suction.

(3) Electroporation Methods of Gene Transfer: A pulse of high voltage is applied to protoplasts, cells or tissues which makes transient pores in the plasma membrane through which uptake of foreign DNA occurs.

(4) Liposome mediated method of Gene Transfer: Liposomes the artificial phospholipid vesicles are useful in gene transfer. The gene or DNA is transferred from liposome into vacuole of plant cells. It is carried out by encapsulated DNA into the vacuole. This technique is advantageous because the liposome protects the introduced DNA from being damaged by the acidic pH and protease enzymes present in the vacuole. Liposome and tonoplast of vacuole fusion resulted in gene transfer. This process is called lipofection.

(5) Biolistics: The foreign DNA is coated onto the surface of minute gold or tungsten particles (1-3 mm) and bombarded onto the target tissue or cells using a particle gun (also called as gene gun/micro projectile gun/shotgun). Then the bombarded cells or tissues are cultured on selected medium to regenerate plants from the transformed cells.

Question 21.
(a) Explain the steps involved in protoplast culture.
Answer:
Protoplasts are cells without a cell wall, but bounded by a cell membrane or plasma membrane. Using protoplasts, it is possible to regenerate whole plants from single cells and also develop somatic hybrids. The steps involved in protoplast culture are:

(1) Isolation of protoplast: Small bits of plant tissue like leaf tissue are used for isolation of protoplast. The leaf tissue is immersed in 0.5% Macrozyme and 2% Onozuka cellulase enzymes dissolved in 13% sorbitol or mannitol at pH 5.4. It is then incubated over-night at 25°C. After a gentle teasing of cells, protoplasts are obtained, and these are then transferred to 20% sucrose solution to retain their viability. They are then centrifuged to get pure protoplasts as different from debris of cell walls.

(2) Fusion of protoplast: It is done through the use of a suitable fusogen. This is normally PEG (Polyethylene Glycol). The isolated protoplast are incubated in 25 to 30% concentration of PEG with Ca++ ions and the protoplast shows agglutination (the formation of clumps of cells) and fusion.

(3) Culture of protoplast: MS liquid medium is used with some modification in droplet, plating or micro-drop array techniques. Protoplast viability is tested with fluorescein diacetate before the culture. The cultures are incubated in continuous light 1000-2000 lux at 25 °C. The cell wall formation occurs within 24-48 hours and the first division of new cells occurs between 2-7 days of culture.

(4) Selection of somatic hybrid cells: The fusion product of protoplasts without nucleus of different cells is called a hybrid. Following this nuclear fusion happen. This process is called somatic hybridization.

Question 9.
The unicellular organisms which reproduce by binary fission are considered immortal. Justify.
Answer:
In unicellular organisms during binary fission, the entire cell (organism) divides completely to form two daughter cells which later on develop into adult and the process goes on repeatedly during each division leading to immortality of cell (organism). Hence unicellular organisms like amoeba are ‘biologically immortal’.

Question 10.
What is colostrum? Write its significance.
Answer:
The mammary glands secrete a yellowish fluid called colostrum during the initial few days after parturition. It has less lactose than milk and almost no fat, but it contains more proteins, vitamin A and minerals. Colostrum is also rich in IgA antibodies. This helps to protect the infant’s digestive tract against bacterial infection.

Question 11.
Define haplodiploidy.
Answer:
In haplodiploidy, the sex of the offspring is determined by the number of sets of chromosomes it receives. Fertilized eggs develop into females (Queen or Worker) and unfertilized eggs develop into males (drones) by parthenogenesis. It means that the males have half the number of chromosomes (haploid) and the females have double the number (diploid).

Question 12.
Mention the main objections to Darwinism.
Answer:
Some objections raised against Darwinism were –

• Darwin failed to explain the mechanism of variation.
• Darwinism explains the survival of the fittest but not the arrival of the fittest.
• He focused on small fluctuating variations that are mostly non-heritable.
• He did not distinguish between somatic and germinal variations.
• He could not explain the occurrence of vestigial organs, over specialization of some organs like large tusks in extinct mammoths and over sized antlers in the extinct Irish deer, etc.

Question 15.
Alien species invasion is a threat to endemic species – substantiate this statement.
Answer:
Exotic species are organisms often introduced unintentionally or deliberately for commercial purpose, as biological control agents and other uses. They often become invasive and drive away the local species and is considered as the second major cause for extinction of species. Tilapia fish (Jilabi kendai) (Oreochromis mosambicus) introduced from east coast of South Africa in 1952 for its high productivity into Kerala’s inland waters, became invasive, due to which the native species such as Puntius dubius and Labeo kontius face local extinction.

Amazon sailfin catfish is responsible for destroying the fish population in the wetlands of Kolkata. The introduction of the Nile Perch, a predatory fish into Lake Victoria in East Africa led to the extinction of an ecologically unique assemblage of more than 200 nature species of cichlid fish in the lake.

Question 16.
In what way Peyang conserved the forests?
Answer:
The ‘Forest man of India’, Jadav Payeng who created 1,360 acres of dense and defiant forest was born in Arunasapori (a river island on the Brahmaputra). He had just completed his Class X exams in 1979 when he started to sow the seeds and shoots on the eroded island covered with sand and silt. Thirty-six years later he had converted the once unproductive land into a forest.

Payeng’s forest is now home to five Royal Bengal tigers, over a hundred deer, wild boar, vultures, and several species of birds. For his remarkable initiative, the Jawaharlal Nehru University invited Payeng in 2012 on Earth Day and honoured him with the title of the ‘ Forest Man of India ’.

Question 17.
Amniocentesis, the foetal sex determination test, is banned in our country. Is it necessary comment?
Answer:
Amniocentesis is a prenatal technique used to detect any chromosomal abnormalities in the foetus and it is being often misused to determine the sex of the foetus. Once the sex of the foetus is known, there may be a chance of female foeticide. Hence, a statutory ban on amniocentesis is imposed.

Question 18.
Write the objectives of Human Genome project.
Answer:
The main goals of Human Genome Project are as follows:

• Identify all the genes (approximately 30000) in human DNA.
• Determine the sequence of the three billion chemical base pairs that makeup the human DNA
• To store this information in databases.
• Improve tools for data analysis.
• Transfer related technologies to other sectors, such as industries.
• Address the ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.

Question 19.
Explain the role of cry-genes in genetically modified crops.
Answer:
Bacillus thuringiensis is a soil dwelling bacterium which is commonly used as a biopesticide and contains a toxin called cry toxin. Scientists have introduced this toxin producing genes into cotton and have raised genetically engineered insect resistant cotton plants.

During sporulation Bacillus thuringiensis produces crystal proteins called Delta-endotoxin which is encoded by cry genes. Delta-endotoxins have specific activities against the insects of the orders Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. When the insects ingest the toxin crystals their alkaline digestive tract denatures the insoluble crystals making them soluble. The cry toxin then gets inserted into the gut cell membrance and paralyzes the digestive tract. The insect then stops eating and starves to death.

Question 20.
(a) Describe the structure of human spermatozoa with a labelled diagram.
Answer:

The human sperm is a microscopic, flagellated and motile gamete. The whole body of the sperm is enveloped by plasma membrane and is composed of a head, neck and a tail. The head comprises of two parts namely acrosome and nucleus. Acrosome is a small cap like pointed structure present at the tip of the nucleus and is formed mainly from the Golgi body of the spermatid.

It contains hyaluronidase, a proteolytic enzyme, popularly known as sperm lysin which helps to penetrate the ovum during fertilization. The nucleus is flat and oval. The neck is very short and is present between the head and the middle piece. It contains the proximal centriole towards the nucleus which plays a role in the first division of the zygote and the distal centriole gives rise to the axial filament of the sperm. The middle piece possesses mitochondria spirally twisted around the axial filament called mitochondrial spiral or nebenkem.

It produces energy in the form of ATP molecules for the movement of sperms. The tail is the longest part of the sperm and is slender and tapering. It is formed of a central axial filament or axoneme and an outer protoplasmic sheath. The lashing movements of the tail push the sperm forward.

[OR]

(b) Explain the Mechanism of ‘lac’ – operon of the E-coli.
Answer:
The Lac (Lactose) operon: The metabolism of lactose in E.coli requires three enzymes-permease, P-galactosidase (β-gal) and transacetylase. The enzyme permease is needed for entry of lactose into the cell, P-galactosidase brings about hydrolysis of lactose to glucose and galactose, while transacetylase transfers acetyl group from acetyl Co A to β-galactosidase.

The lac operon consists of one regulator gene (‘i’ gene refers to inhibitor) promoter sites (p), and operator site (o). Besides these, it has three structural genes namely lac z, y and lac a. The lac ‘z’ gene codes for β-galactosidase, lac ‘y’ gene codes for permease and ‘a’ gene codes for transacetylase. Jacob and Monod proposed the classical model of Lac operon to explain gene expression and regulation in E.coli.

In lac operon, a polycistronic structural gene is regulated by a common promoter and regulatory gene. When the cell is using its normal energy source as glucose, the ‘i’ gene transcribes a repressor mRNA and after its translation, a repressor protein is produced. It binds to the operator region of the operon and prevents translation, as a result, β-galactosidase is not produced. In the absence of preferred carbon source such as glucose, if lactose is available as an energy source for the bacteria then lactose enters the cell as a result of permease enzyme. Lactose acts as an inducer and interacts with the repressor to inactivate it.

The repressor protein binds to the operator of the operon and prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon. In the presence of inducer, such as lactose or allolactose, the repressor is inactivated by interaction with the inducer. This allows RNA polymerase to bind to the promotor site and transcribe the operon to produce lac mRNA which enables formation.

Question 21.
(a) Explain stabilizing, directional and disruptive selection with examples.
Answer:
(1) Stabilising selection (centipetal selection): This type of selection operates in a stable environment. The organisms with average phenotypes survive whereas the extreme individuals from both the ends are eliminated. There is no speciation but the phenotypic stability is maintained within the population over generation. For example, measurements of sparrows that survived the storm clustered around the mean, and the sparrows that failed to survive the storm clustered around the extremes of the variation showing stabilizing selection.

(2) Directional Selection: The environment which undergoes gradual change is subjected to directional selection. This type of selection removes the individuals from one end towards the other end of phenotypic distribution. For example, size differences between male and female sparrows. Both male and female look alike externally but differ in body weight. Females show directional selection in relation to body weight.

(3) Disruptive selection: (centrifugal selection) When homogenous environment changes into heterogenous environment this type of selection is operational. The organisms of both the extreme phenotypes are selected, whereas individuals with average phenotype are eliminated. This results in splitting of the population into sub population/species.

This is a rare form of selection but leads to formation of two or more different species. It is also called adaptive radiation. (e.g:) Darwin’s finches beak size in relation to seed size inhabiting Galapagos islands. Group selection and sexual selection are other types of selection. The two major group selections are Altrusim and Kin selection.

PART-III

Answer any six questions. Question No. 28 is compulsory. [6 × 3 = 18]

Question 25.
Write down Coulomb’s law in vector form and mention what each term represents.
Answer:
The force on a charge q₁ exerted by a point charge q₂ is given by
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{12}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}} \hat{r}_{21}\)
Here r̂₂₁ is the unit vector from charge q₂ to q₁
But r̂₂₁ = -r̂₂₁

Therefore, the electrostatic force obeys Newton’s third law.

Question 26.
Write down the various forms of expression for power in electrical circuit.
Answer:
The electric power P is the rate at which the electrical potential energy is delivered,
\(P=\frac{d U}{d t}=\frac{1}{d t}(V \cdot d Q)=V \cdot \frac{d Q}{d t}\)
[dU = V.dQ]
The electric power delivered by the battery to any electrical system.
P = VI
The electric power delivered to the resistance R is expressed in other forms.
P = VI = I(IR) = I²R
P = IV = \(\left(\frac{V}{R}\right) V=\frac{V^{2}}{R}\)

Question 27.
The repulsive force between two magnetic poles in air is 9 × 10^-3 N. If the two poles are equal in strength and are separated by a distance of 10 cm, calculate the pole strength of each pole.
Answer:
The force between two poles are given by \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=k \frac{q_{m_{\mathrm{A}}} q_{m_{\mathrm{B}}}}{r^{2}}\)
The magnitude of the force is F = \(F=k \frac{q_{m_{A}} q_{m_{B}}}{r^{2}}\)
Given : F = 9 × 10^-3 N, r = 10 cm = 10 × 10^-2 m
Therefore 9 × 10^-3 = 10^-7 × \(\frac{q_{m}^{2}}{\left(10 \times 10^{-2}\right)^{2}}\) ⇒ q_m = 30NT^-1

Question 28.
A 200 turn coil of radius 2 cm is placed co-axially within a long solenoid of 3 cm radius. If the turn density of the solenoid is 90 turns per cm, then calculate mutual inductance of the coil.
Answer:
Numbef of turns of the solenoid, N₂ = 200
Radius of the solenoid, r cm = 2 × 10^-2 m
Area of the solenoid, A = πr² = 3.14 × (2 × 10^-2)^-2 = 1.256 × 10^-3 m²
Turn density of long solenoid per cm, N₁ = 90 × 10²

= 283956.48 × 10^-8 ⇒ M = 2.84 mH

Question 29.
Compute the speed of the electromagnetic wave in a medium if the amplitude of electric and magnetic fields are 3 × 10⁴ N C^-1 and 2 × 10^-4 T, respectively.
Answer:
The amplitude of the electric field, E₀ = 3 × 10⁴ N C^-1.
The amplitude of the magnetic field, B_o = 2 × 10^-4 T. Therefore, speed of the electromagnetic wave in a medium is
\(v=\frac{3 \times 10^{4}}{2 \times 10^{-4}}=1.5 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\)

Question 30.
State the laws of refraction.
Answer:
Law of refraction is called Snell’s law.
Snell’s law states that,
(a) The incident ray, refracted ray and normal to the refracting surface are all coplanar (i.e. lie in the same plane).
(b) The ratio of angle of incident i in the first medium to the angle of reflection r in the second medium is equal to the ratio of refractive index of the second medium n₂ to that of the refractive index of the first medium n₁.
\(\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\)

Question 31.
A proton and an electron have same de Broglie wavelength. Which of them moves faster and which possesses more kinetic energy?
Answer:
We know that λ = \(\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}}\)
Since proton and electron have same de Broglie wavelength, we get

Since m_e < m_p , K_p < K_e, the electron has more kinetic energy than the proton.

Since m_e < m_p ν_p < ν_e , the electron moves faster than the proton.

Question 32.
In alpha decay, why the unstable nucleus emits ⁴₂He nucleus? Why it does not emit four separate nucleons?
Answer:
After all ⁴₂He consists of two protons and two neutrons. For example, if ²³⁸₉₂U nucleus decays into ²³⁴₉₀Th by emitting four separate nucleons (two protons and two neutrons), then the disintegration energy Q for this process turns out to be negative. It implies that the total mass of products is greater than that of parent (²³⁸₉₂U) nucleus. This kind of process cannot occur in nature because it would violate conservation of energy. In any decay process, the conservation of energy, conservation of linear momentum and conservation of angular momentum must be obeyed.

Electrostatic potential at a point due to an electric dipole: Consider two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance 2a. The point P is located at a distance r from the midpoint of the dipole. Let θ be the angle between the line OP and dipole axis AB.
Let r₁ be the distance of point P from +q and r₂ be the distance of point P from -q.
Potential at P due to charge +q = \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q}{r_{1}}\)
Potential at P due to charge -q = \(-\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q}{r_{2}}\)
Total potential at the point P,
V = \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} q\left(\frac{1}{r_{1}}-\frac{1}{r_{2}}\right)\) ……… (1)
Suppose if the point P is far away from the dipole, such that r>>a, then equation can be expressed in terms of r. By the cosine law for triangle BOP,

r²₁ = r² + a² – 2ra cos θ = r²\(\left(1+\frac{a^{2}}{r^{2}}-\frac{2 a}{r} \cos \theta\right)\)

Since the point P is very far from dipole, then r >> a. As a result the term \(\frac{a^{2}}{r^{2}}\) is very small and can be neglected. Therefore

since \(\frac{a}{r}\)<< 1, we can use binominal theorem and retain the terms up to first order r
\(\frac{1}{r_{1}}=\frac{1}{r}\left(1+\frac{a}{r} \cos \theta\right)\) …… (2)
Similarly applying the cosine law for triangle AOP,
r₂² = r² + a² – 2ra cos(180 – θ) since cos (180 – θ) = -cos θ we get
r₂² = r² + a² + 2ra cos θ
Neglecting the term \(\frac{a^{2}}{r^{2}}\) (because r >> a)

Using Binomial theorem, we get
\(\frac{1}{r_{2}}=\frac{1}{r}\left(1-a \frac{\cos \theta}{r}\right)\) ………. (3)
Substituting equations (3) and (2) in equation (1)

But the electric dipole moment p = 2qa and we get,
\(\mathrm{V}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{p \cos \theta}{r^{2}}\right)\)
Now we can write p cos θ = \(\vec{r}\) . r̂ where r̂ is the unit vector from the point O to point P.
Hence the electric potential at a point P due to an electric dipole is given by
V = \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{\vec{p} \cdot \hat{r}}{r^{2}}\) (r >> a) …(4)
Equation (4) is valid for distances very large compared to the size of the dipole. But for a point dipole, the equation (4) is valid for any distance.

Special cases:
Case (1) If the point P lies on the axial line of the dipole on the side of +q, then θ = 0. Then the electric potential becomes
\(V=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{p}{r^{2}}\)

Case (ii) If the point Plies on the axial line of the dipole on the side of -q. then θ = 180°, then
\(\mathrm{V}=-\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{p}{r^{2}}\)

Case (iii) If the point P lies on the equatorial line of the dipole, then θ = 90°. Hence, V = 0.

Question 34.
(b) Explain the determination of the internal resistance of a cell using voltmeter.
Answer:
Determination of internal resistance: The emf of cell ξ is measured by connecting a high resistance voltmeter across it without connecting the external resistance R. Since the voltmeter draws very little current for deflection, the circuit may be considered as open. Hence, the voltmeter reading gives the emf of the ceíl. Then, external resistance R is included in the circuit and current I is established in the circuit. The potential difference across R is equal to the potential difference across the cell (V).

The potential drop across the resistor R is
V = IR …….. (1)

Due to internal resistance r of the cell, the voltmeter reads a value V, which is less than the emf of cell ξ. It is because, certain amount of voltage (Ir) has dropped across the internal resistance r.
Then V = ξ – Ir
Ir = ξ – V ……… (2)
Dividing equation (2) by equation (1), we get
\(\frac{I r}{I R}=\frac{\xi-V}{V}\)
\(r=\left|\frac{\xi-V}{V}\right| R\) ……… (3)
since ξ, V and R are known, internal resistance r can be determined

Question 35.
(a) Calculate the magnetic induction at a point on the axial line of a bar magnet.
Answer:
Magnetic field at a point along the axial line of the magnetic dipole (bar magnet): Consider a bar magnet NS. Let N be the North Pole and S be the south pole of the bar magnet, each of pole strength q, and separated by a distance of 2l. The magnetic field at a point C (lies along the axis of the magnet) at a distance from the geometrical center O of the bar magnet
can be computed by keeping unit north pole (q_MC = 1 A m) at C. The force experienced by the unit north pole at C due to pole strength can be computed using Coulomb’s law of magnetism as follows:
The force of repulsion between north pole of the bar magnet and unit north pole at point C (in free space) is
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{q_{m}}{(r-l)^{2}} \hat{l}\) …. (1)
where r – l is the distance between north pole of the bar magnet and unit north pole at C.
The force of attraction between South Pole of the bar magnet and unit North Pole at point C (in free space) is
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{S}}=-\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{q_{m}}{(r+l)^{2}} \hat{l}\) ……. (2)
where r + l is the distance between South pole of the bar magnet and unit north pole at C.

From equation (1) and (2), the net force at point C is \(\vec{F}\) = \(\vec{F}\)_N + \(\vec{F}\)_s . From definition, this net force is the magnetic field due to magnetic dipole at a point C (\(\vec{F}\) = \(\vec{B}\))

Since, magnitude of magnetic dipole moment is |\(\vec{P}\)_m| = P_m = q_m .2l the magnetic field point C equation (3) can be written as
\(\vec{B}\)_axial = \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{2 r p_{m}}{\left(r^{2}-l^{2}\right)^{2}}\right) \hat{i}\) …… (4)
If the distance between two poles in a bar magnet are small (looks like short magnet) compared to the distance between geometrical centre O of bar magnet and the location of point C i.e.,
r >> l then (r² – l²)² ≈ r⁴ ……. (5)
Therefore, using equation (5) in equation (4), we get

[OR]

Question 35.
(b) Show mathematically that the rotation of a coil in a magnetic field over one rotation induces an alternating emf of one cycle.
Answer:
Induction of emf by changing relative orientation of the coil with the magnetic field:
Consider a rectangular coil of N turns kept in a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) figure (a). The coil rotates in anti-clockwise direction with an angular velocity co about an axis, perpendicular to the field.

At time = 0, the plane of the coil is perpendicular to the field and the flux linked with the coil has its maximum value Φ_m = BA (where A is the area of the coil).

In a time t seconds, the coil is rotated through an angle θ (= ωt) in anti-clockwise direction. In this position, the flux linked is Φ_m cos ωt., a component of Φ_m normal to the plane of the coil (figure (b)). The component parallel to the plane (Φ_m sinωt) has no role in electromagnetic induction. Therefore, the flux linkage at this deflected position is NΦ_B = NΦ_m cos ωt. According to Faraday’s law, the emf induced at that instant is


ε = \(-\frac{d}{d t}\) (NΦ_B) = \(-\frac{d}{d t}\) (NΦ_m cos ωt)
= -NΦ_m (-sin ωt)ω = NΦ_m ω sin ωt
When the coil is rotated through 90° from initial position, sin ωt = 1. Then the maximum value of induced emf is
ε_m = NΦ_m ω = NBAω since Φ_m = BA
Therefore, the value of induced emf at that instant is then given by
ε = ε_m sin ωt
It is seen that the induced emf varies as sin ωt function of the time angle ωt. The graph between induced emf and time angle for one rotation of coil will be a sine curve and the emf varying in this manner is called sinusoidal emf or alternating emf.

Question 36.
(a) Write down the properties of electromagnetic waves.
Answer:
Properties of electromagnetic waves:
1. Electromagnetic waves are produced by any accelerated charge.

2. Electromagnetic waves do not require any medium for propagation. So electromagnetic wave is a non-mechanical wave.

3. Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature. This means that the oscillating electric field vector, oscillating magnetic field vector and propagation vector (gives direction of propagation) are mutually perpendicular to each other.

4. Electromagnetic waves travel with speed which is equal to the speed of light in vacuum or free space, c = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_{0} \mu_{0}}}\) = 3 × 10⁸ ms^-1

5. The speed of electromagnetic wave is less than speed in free space or vacuum, that is, v < c. In a medium of refractive index,

Question 36.
(b) Derive the equation for acceptance angle and numerical aperture, of optical fiber.
Answer:
Acceptance angle in optical fibre:
To ensure the critical angle incidence in the core-cladding boundary inside the optical fibre, the light should be incident at a certain angle at the end of the optical fiber while entering in to it. This angle is called acceptance angle. It depends on the refractive indices of the core n₁ cladding n₂ and the outer medium n₃. Assume the light is incident at an angle i_a called acceptance angle i at the outer medium and core boundary at A.
The Snell’s law in the product form, equation for this refraction at the point A.

n₃ sin i_a = n₁ sin r_a …(1)
To have the total internal reflection inside optical fibre, the angle of incidence at the core-cladding interface at B should be atleast critical angle i_c . Snell’s law in the product form, equation for the refraction at point B is,
n₁ sin i_c = n₂ sin 90° …(2)
n₁ sin i_c = n₂ ∵ sin 90° = 1
∴ sin i_c = \(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\) …(3)
From the right angle triangle ∆ABC,
i_c = 90° – r_a
Now, equation (3) becomes, sin (90° – r_a) = \(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\)
Using trigonometry, cos r_a = \(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\) …(4)
sin r_a = \(\sqrt{1-\cos ^{2} r_{a}}\)
Substituting for cos r_a
sin r_a = \(\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{n_{1}^{2}-n_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}^{2}}}\) …… (5)
Substituting this in equation (1)
n₃ sin i_a = \(n_{1} \sqrt{\frac{n_{1}^{2}-n_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}^{2}}}=\sqrt{n_{1}^{2}-n_{2}^{2}}\) ….. (6)
On further simplification,

If outer medium is air, then n₃ = 1. The acceptance angle i_a becomes,
i_a = sin^-1\((\sqrt{n_{1}^{2}-n_{2}^{2}})\) …… (9)

Light can have any angle of incidence from 0 to i_a with the normal at the end of the optical fibre forming a conical shape called acceptance cone. In the equation (6), the term (n₃ sin i_a) is called numerical aperture NA of the optical fibre.
NA = n₃ sin i_a \((\sqrt{n_{1}^{2}-n_{2}^{2}})\) ….. (10)

If outer medium is air, then n₃ = 1. The numerical aperture NA becomes,
NA = sin i_a \(\sqrt{n_{1}^{2}-n_{2}^{2}}\) ….. (11)

Question 37.
(a) Explain the effect of potential difference on photoelectric current.
Answer:
Effect of potential difference on photoelectric current:
To study the effect of potential difference V between the electrodes on photoelectric current, the frequency and intensity of the incident light are kept constant. Initially the potential of A is kept positive with respect to C and the cathode is irradiated with the given light.

Now, the potential of A is increased and the corresponding photocurrent is noted. As the potential of A is increased, photocurrent is also increased. However a stage is reached where photocurrent reaches a saturation value (saturation current) at which all the photoelectrons from C are collected by A. This is represented by the flat portion of the graph between potential of A and photocurrent.

When a negative (retarding) potential is applied to A with respect to C, the current does not immediately drop to zero because the photoelectrons are emitted with some definite and different kinetic energies. .

The kinetic energy of some of the photoelectrons is such that they could overcome the retarding electric field and reach the electrode A.

When the negative (retarding) potential of A is gradually increased, the photocurrent starts to decrease because more and more photoelectrons are being repelled away from reaching the electrode A. The photocurrent becomes zero at a particular negative potential V₀ , called stopping or cut-off potential.

Stopping potential is that the value of the negative (retarding) potential given to the collecting electrode A which is just sufficient to stop the most energetic photoelectrons emitted and make the photocurrent zero.

At the stopping potential, even the most energetic electron is brought to rest. Therefore, the initial kinetic energy of the fastest electron (K_max) is equal to the work done by the stopping potential to stop it (eV₀).
K_max = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) mv²_maxK = eV₀ ……… (1)
where v_max is the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectron.

From equation (1),
K_max = eV₀ (in joule) (or) K_max – V₀ (in eV)

From the graph, when the intensity of the incident light alone is increased, the saturation current also increases but the value of V₀ remains constant.

Thus, for a given frequency of the incident light, the stopping potential is independent of intensity of the incident light. This also implies that the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is independent of intensity of the incident light.

Question 37.
(b) Explain the J.J. Thomson experiment to determine the specific charge of electron.
Answer:
In 1887, J. J. Thomson made remarkable improvement in the scope of study of gases in discharge tubes. In the presence of electric and magnetic fields, the cathode rays are deflected. By the variation of electric and magnetic fields, mass normalized charge or the specific charge (charge per unit mass) of the cathode rays is measured.

A highly evacuated discharge tube is used and cathode rays (electron beam) produced at cathode are attracted towards anode disc A. Anode disc is made with pin hole in order to allow only a narrow beam of cathode rays. These cathode rays are now allowed to pass through the parallel metal plates, maintained at high voltage. Further, this gas discharge tube is kept in between pole pieces of magnet such that both electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other. When the cathode rays strike the screen, they produce scintillation and hence bright spot is observed. This is achieved by coating the screen with zinc sulphide.

(i) Determination of velocity of cathode rays
For a fixed electric field between the plates, the magnetic field is adjusted such that the cathode rays (electron beam) strike at the original position O. This means that the magnitude of electric force is balanced by the magnitude of force due to magnetic field. Let e be the charge of the cathode rays, then
eE eBv
⇒ ν = \(\frac{E}{B}\) …… (1)

(ii) Determination of specific charge:
Since the cathode rays (electron beam) are accelerated from cathode to anode, the potential energy of the electron beam at the cathode is converted into kinetic energy of the electron beam at the anode. Let V be the potential difference between anode and cathode, then the potential energy is eV. Then from law of conservation of energy,
eV = \(\frac{1}{2}\)mV² ⇒ \(\frac{e}{m}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 \mathrm{V}}\)
Substituting the value of velocity from equation (1), we get
\(\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{V}} \frac{\mathrm{E}^{2}}{\mathrm{B}^{2}}\) ….. (2)
Substituting the values of E, B and V, the specific charge can be determined as
\(\frac{e}{m}\) = 1.7 × 10¹¹ C kg^-1

(iii) Deflection of charge only due to uniform electric field:
When the magnetic field is turned off, the deflection is only due to electric field. The deflection in vertical direction is due to the electric force.

F_e = eE …(3)
Let m be the mass of the electron and by applying Newton’s second law of motion, acceleration of the electron is
a_e = \(\frac{1}{m}\) F_e ……. (4)
Substituting equation (4) in equation (3),
a_e = \(\frac{1}{m} e E=\frac{e}{m} E\)

Let y be the deviation produced from Deviation of path by applying uniform electric field original position on the screen. Let the initial upward velocity of cathode ray be u = 0 before entering the parallel electric plates. Let t be the time taken by the cathode rays to travel in electric field. Let l be the length of one of the plates, then the time taken is
t = \(\frac{1}{v}\) …(5)
Hence, the deflection y’ of cathode rays is (note: u = 0 and a_e = \(\frac{e}{m}\)E)

Therefore, the deflection y on the screen is
y ∝ y’ ⇒ y = Cy’
where C is proportionality constant which depends on the geometry of the discharge tube and substituting y’ value in equation (6), we get y = C \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{e}{m} \frac{l^{2} \mathrm{B}^{2}}{\mathrm{E}}\) ……. (7)
Rearranging equation (7) as \(\frac{e}{n}=\frac{2 y \mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{Cl}^{2} \mathrm{B}^{2}}\) …… (8)
Substituting the values on RHS, the value of specific charge is calculated as
\(\frac{e}{m}\) = 1.7 × 10¹¹Ckg^-1m

(iv) Deflection of charge only due to uniform magnetic field
Suppose that the electric field is switched off and only the magnetic field is switched on. Now the deflection occurs only due to magnetic field. The force experienced by the electron in uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to its path is
F_m = evB (in magnitude)
Since this force provides the centripetal force, the electron beam undergoes a semicircular path. Therefore, we can equate F_m to centripetal force \(\frac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
F_m = evB = \(m \frac{v^{2}}{R}\)
where v is the velocity of electron beam at the point where it enters the magnetic field and R is the radius of the circular path traversed by the electron beam.
eB = \(m \frac{v}{\mathrm{R}} \Rightarrow \frac{e}{m}=\frac{v}{\mathrm{BR}}\) ……. (9)
Further, substituting equation (1) in equation (9), we get
\(\frac{e}{m}=\frac{E}{B^{2} R}\) …….. (10)
By knowing the values of electric field, magnetic field and the radius of circular path, the value of specific charge \(\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)\) can be calculated

Question 38.
(a) Draw the circuit diagram of a half wave rectifier and explain its working
Answer:
Half wave rectifier circuit:
The half wave rectifier circuit. The circuit consists of a transformer, a p-n junction diode and a resistor. In a half wave rectifier circuit, either a positive half or the negative half of the AC input is passed through while the other half is blocked. Only one half of the input wave reaches the output. Therefore, it is called halfwave rectifier. Here, a p-n junction diode acts as a rectifying diode.

During the positive half cycle:
When the positive half cycle of the ac input signal passes through the circuit, terminal A becomes positive with respect to terminal B. The diode is forward biased and hence it conducts. The current flows through the load resistor R_L and the AC voltage developed across R_L constitutes the output voltage V₀ and the waveform of the diode current.

During the negative half cycle:
When the negative half cycle of the ac input signal passes through the circuit, terminal A is negative with respect to terminal B. Now the diode is reverse biased and does not conduct and hence no current passes through R_L. The reverse saturation current in a diode is negligible. Since there is no voltage drop across R_L, the negative half cycle of ac supply is suppressed at the output.

The output of the half wave rectifier is not a steady dc voltage but a pulsating wave. This pulsating voltage is not sufficient for electronic equipments. A constant or a steady voltage is required which can be obtained with the help of filter circuits and voltage regulator circuits. Efficiency (η) is the ratio of the output dc power to the ac input power supplied to the circuit. Its value for half wave rectifier is 40.6 %

Question 38.
(b) Fiber optic communication is gaining popularity among the various transmission media – justify.
Answer:
The method of transmitting information from one place to another in terms of light pulses through an optical fiber is called fiber optic communication. It is in the process of replacing wire transmission in communication systems.
Light has very high frequency (400 THz – 790 THz) than microwave radio systems. The fibers are made up of silica glass or silicon dioxide which is highly abundant on Earth.
Now it has been replaced with materials such as chalcogenide glasses, fluoroaluminate crystalline materials because they provide larger infrared wavelength and better transmission capability.
As fibers are not electrically conductive, it is preferred in places where multiple channels are to be laid and isolation is required from electrical and electromagnetic interference.

Question 22.
Calculate the number of nuclei of carbon-14 undecayed after 22,920 years if the initial number of carbon-14 atoms is 10,000. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.
Answer:
To get the time interval in terms of half-life, n = \(\frac{t}{\mathrm{T}_{1 / 2}}=\frac{22,920 \mathrm{yr}}{5730 \mathrm{yr}}=4\)
The number of nuclei remaining undecayed after 22,920 years
\(\mathrm{N}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n} \mathrm{N}_{0}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4} \times 10,000 \Rightarrow \mathrm{N}=625\)

Question 23.
A diode is called as a unidirectional device. Explain
Answer:
Diode is called as a unidirectional device, i.e., current flows in only one direction (anode to cathode internally) when a forward voltage is applied, the diode conducts and when reverse voltage is applied, there is no conduction. A mechanical analogy is a rat chat, which allows motion in one direction only.

Question 25.
A sample of HO gas ¡s placed in a uniform electric field of magnitude 3 × 10⁴ N C^-1. The dipole moment of each HCI molecule is 3.4 × 10^-30 Cm. Calculate the maximum torque experienced by each HCl molecule.
Answer:
The maximum torque experienced by the dipole is when it is aligned perpendicular to the applied field.
\(\tau_{\max }\) = pE sin90° = 3.4 × 10^-30 × 3 × 10⁴Nm
\(\tau_{\max }\) =10.2 × 10^-26Nm

Question 26.
The resistance ola wire is 20 Ω . What will be new resistance, ¡fit is stretched uniformly 8 times its original length?
Answer:
R₁ = 20 Ω, R₂ = ?
Let the original length (l₁) be 1.
The new length, l₂ = 8l₁ (i.,e) l₂ =8l
The original resistance,


Though the wire is stretched, its volume is unchanged.
Initial volume = Final volume
A₁l₁ = A₂l₂ , A₁l =A₂8l
\(\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{8 l}{l}=8\)
By dividing equation R₂ by equation R₁, we get

Substituting the value of \(\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}\) we get
\(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\) = 8 × 8 = 64 ⇒ R₂ = 64 × 20 = 1280 Ω
Hence, strecthing the length of the wire has increased its resistance.

Question 34.
(a) Calculate the electric field due to a dipole on its axial line and equatorial plane.
Answer:
Case (i) Electric field due to an electric dipole at points on the axial line. Consider an electric dipole placed on the x-ax is as shown in figure. A point C is located at a distance of r from the midpoint O of the dipole along the axial line. line
The electric field at a point C due to +q is


Since the electric dipole moment vector \(\vec{p}\) is from -q to +q and is directed along BC, the above equation is rewritten as

where P̂ is the electric dipole moment unit vector from -q to +q.
The electric field at a point C due to -q is

Since +q is located closer to the point C than -q, \(\vec{E}\)_– \(\vec{E}\)₊ us stronger than \(\vec{E}\)_–. Therefore, the length of the \(\vec{E}\)₊ vector is drawn large than that of \(\vec{E}\)_– vector.
The total electric field at point C is calculated using the superposition principle of the electric field.

Note that the total electric field is along \(\vec{E}\)₊ since +q is closer to C than -q.

The direction of \(\vec{E}\)_tot is shown in Figure
If the point C is very far away from the dipole then (r >> a).
Under this limit the term(r² – a²) ≈ r⁴ Substituting this into equation, we get

If the point C is chosen on the left side of the dipole, the total electric field is still in the direction of \(\vec{p}\).

Case (ii) Electric field due to an electric dipole at a point on the equatorial plane

Consider a point C at a distance r from the midpoint O of the dipole on the equatorial plane as shown in Figure. Since the point C is quite-distant from +q and -q, the magnitude of the electric fields of +q and -q are the same. The direction of E is along BC and the direction of \(\vec{E}\)₊ is along and the direction of \(\vec{E}\)_– CA. \(\vec{E}\)₊ and \(\vec{E}\)_– are resolved into two components; one component parallel to the dipole axis and the other perpendicular to it. The perpendicular components \(\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}_{+}\right|\) sin θ and \(\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}_{-}\right| sin θ\) are oppositely directed and cancel each other. The magnitude of the total electric field at point C is the sum of the parallel components of \(\vec{E}\)₊ and \(\vec{E}\)_– and its direction is along -P̂

The magnitudes \(\vec{E}\)₊ and \(\vec{E}\)_– are the same and are given by


By substituting equation (1) into equation (2), we get

Question 34.
(b) Obtain the condition for bridge balance in Wheatstone’s bridge.
Answer:
An important application of Kirchhoff’s rules is the Wheatstone’s bridge. It is used to compare resistances and also helps in determining the unknown resistance in electrical network. The bridge consists of four resistances P, Q, R and S connected, A galvanometer G is connected between the points B and D. The battery is connected between the points A and C. The current through the galvanometer is I_G and its resistance is G.

Applying Kirchhoff’s current rule to junction B,
I₁ – I_G – I₃ = 0 ……. (1)
Applying Kirchhoff’s current rule to junction D,
I₂ + I_G – I₄ = 0 ……. (2)
Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage rule to loop ABDA,
I₁p + I_GG – I₂R = 0 ……. (3)
Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage rule to loop ABCDA,
I₁p – I₃Q – I₄S – I₂R = 0 ……. (4)
When the points B and D are at the same potential, the bridge is said to be balanced. As there is no potential difference between B and D, no current flows through galvanometer (I_G = 0).
Substituting I_G = O in equation, (I), (2) and (3), we get
I₁ = I₃ …… (5)
I₂ = I₄ ……… (6)
I₁p = I₂R ………. (7)
Substituting the equation (5) and (6) in equation (4)
I₁P + I₁Q – I₂S – I₂R= 0
I₁(P + Q) = I₂(R+S) …… (8)
Dividing equation (8) By equation (7), we get

This is the bridge balance condition. Only under this condition, galvanometer shows null deflection. Suppose we know the values of two adjacent resistances, the other two resistances can be compared. If three of the resistances are known, the value of unknown resistance (fourth one) can be determined.

Question 35.
(a) Show the time period of oscillation when a bar magnet is kept in a uniform magnetic field is T = 2π\(\sqrt{\frac{1}{p_{m} \mathrm{B}}}\). in second, where I represents moment of interia of the bar magnet, p<sub<m is the magnetic moment and is the magnetic field.
Answer:
The magnitude of deflecting torque (the torque which makes the object rotate) acting on the bar magnet which will tend to align the bar magnet parallel to the direction of the uniform magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) is
\(\vec{\tau}\) = p_m B sin θ
The magnitude of restoring torque acting on the bar magnet can be written as
\(|\vec{\tau}|=\mathrm{I} \frac{d^{2} \theta}{d t^{2}}\)
Under equilibrium conditions, both magnitude of deflecting torque and restoring torque will be equal but act in the opposite directions, which means
\(\mathrm{I} \frac{d^{2} \theta}{d t^{2}}=-p_{m} \mathrm{B} \sin \theta\)
The negative sign implies that both are in opposite directions. The above equation can be written as
\(\frac{d^{2} \theta}{d t^{2}}=-\frac{p_{m} B}{I} \sin \theta\)
This is non-linear second order homogeneous differential equation. In order to make it linear, we use small angle approximation, i.e., sin θ ≈ θ, we get
\(\frac{d^{2} \theta}{d t^{2}}=-\frac{p_{m} \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{I}} \theta\)
This linear second order homogeneous differential equation is a Simple Harmonic differential equation. Therefore,
Comparing with Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) differential equation \(\frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}}=-\omega^{2} x\)
where ω is the angular frequency of the oscillation.

where, B_H is the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field.

Question 35.
(b) An inductor of inductance L carries an electric current i. How much energy is stored while establishing the current in it?
Answer:
Energy stored in an inductor: Whenever a current is established in the circuit, the inductance opposes the growth of the current. In order to establish a current in the circuit, work is done against this opposition by some external agency. This work done is stored as magnetic potential energy. Let us assume that electrical resistance of the inductor is negligible and inductor effect alone is considered. The induced emf eat any instant t is
ℰ = \(-\mathrm{L} \frac{d i}{d t}\) …(1)
Let dW be work done in moving a charge dq in a time dt against the opposition, then
dW = -edq = -ℰdq = -ℰidi [ ∵ dq = idt]
Substituting for e value from equation (1)
= \(-\left(-\mathrm{L} \frac{d i}{d t}\right) i d t\)
dW = Lidt ……. (2)
Total work done in establishing the current i is
This work done is stored as magnetic potential energy.

W = \(\frac{1}{2}\) Li² ………. (3)
This work done is stored as magnetic potential energy.
∴ U_B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) Li²

Question 36.
(a) Using Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, derive an equation for motional emf.
Answer:
Motional emf from Faraday’s law: Let us consider a rectangular conducting loop of width l in a uniform magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) which is perpendicular to the plane of the loop and is directed inwards. A part of the loop is in the magnetic field while the remaining part is outside the field.

When the loop is pulled with a constant velocity \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) to the right, the area of the portion of the loop within the magnetic field will decrease. Thus, the flux linked with the loop will also decrease. According to Faraday’s law, an electric current is induced in the loop which flows in a direction so as to oppose the pull of the loop.
Let x be the length of the loop which is still within the magnetic field, then its area is lx. The magnetic flux linked with the loop is
Φ_B = \(\int_{A} \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{A}=B A \cos \theta\)
Here θ = 0° and cos 0° = 1
= BA
Φ_B = Blx ……… (1)

As this magnetic flux decreases due to the movement of the loop, the magnitude of the induced emf is given by
\(\varepsilon=\frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}(\mathrm{B} l x)\)
Here, both B and l are constants. Therefore,
\(\varepsilon=\mathrm{B} l \frac{d x}{d t}=\mathrm{B} l v\) …… (2)
where v = \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) is the velocity of the loop. This emf is known as motional emf since it is produced due to the movement of the loop in the magnetic field.

Question 36.
(b) Derive the mirror equation and the equation for lateral magnification. The mirror equation:
Answer:
The mirror equation establishes a relation among object distance u, image distance v and focal length/for a spherical mirror. An object AB is considered on the principal axis of a concave mirror beyond the center of curvature C.
Let us consider three paraxial rays from point B on the object.
The first paraxial ray BD travelling parallel to principal axis is incident on the concave mirror at D, close to the pole P. After reflection the ray passes through the focus F. The second paraxial ray BP incident at the pole P is reflected along PB’. The third paraxial ray BC passing through centre of curvature C, falls normally on the mirror at E is reflected back along the same path.
The three reflected rays intersect at the point B’. A perpendicular drawn as A’ B’ to the principal axis is the real, inverted image of the object AB.

As per law of reflection, the angle of incidence ∠BPA is equal to the angle of reflection ∠B’PA’ . The triangles ∆BPA and ∆B’PA’ are similar. Thus, from the rule of similar triangles,
\(\frac{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}{A B}=\frac{P A^{\prime}}{P A}\) …… (1)
The other set of similar triangles are, ∆DPF and ∆ BA.’ F. (PD is almost a straight vertical line)
\(\frac{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}{P D}=\frac{A^{\prime} F}{P F}\)
As, the distances PD = AB the above equation becomes,
\(\frac{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}{A B}=\frac{A^{\prime} F}{P F}\) …….. (2)
From equations (1) and (2) we can write,
\(\frac{P A^{\prime}}{P A}=\frac{A^{\prime} F}{P F}\)

As, A’ F PA’ – PF, the above equation becomes,
\(\frac{P A^{\prime}}{P A}=\frac{P A^{\prime}-P F}{P F}\)
We can apply the sign conventions for the various distances in the above equation.
PA= -u. PA’= -v, PF = -f
All the three distances are negative as per sign convention, because they are measured to the left of the pole. Now, the equation (3) becomes.

The above equation (4) is called mirror equation

Lateral magnification in spherical mirrors:
The lateral or transverse magnification is defined as the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object. The height of the object and image are measured perpendicular to the principal axis.

m = \(\frac{h^{\prime}}{h}\) …… (5)
Applying proper sign conventions for equation (1), A’B’ PA’
\(\frac{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}{A B}=\frac{P A^{\prime}}{P A}\)
A’B’ = -h, AB = h, PA’ = -v, PA = -u
\(\frac{-h^{\prime}}{h}=\frac{-v}{-u}\)
On simplifying we get,
\(m=\frac{h^{\prime}}{h}=-\frac{v}{u}\) …….(6)
Using mirror equation, we can further write the magnification as,
\(m=\frac{h^{\prime}}{h}-\frac{f-v}{f}=\frac{f}{f-u}\) ……… (7)

Question 37.
(a) Obtain Einstein’s photoelectric equation with necessary explanation.
Answer:
Einstein’s explanation of photoelectric equation:
When a photon of energy hv is incident on a metal surface, it is completely absorbed by a single electron and the electron is ejected.

In this process, a part of the photon energy is used for the ejection of the electrons from the metal surface (photoelectric work function Φ₀) and the remaining energy as the kinetic energy of the ejected electron. From the law of conservation of energy,
hυ = Φ₀ + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) mv² …… (1)
where m is the mass of the electron and u its velocity

If we reduce the frequency of the incident light, the speed or kinetic energy of photo electrons is also reduced. At some frequency v0 of incident radiation, the photo electrons are ejected with almost zero kinetic energy. Then the equation (1) becomes
hυ₀ = Φ₀
where v₀ is the threshold frequency. By rewriting the equation (1), we get
hυ = hυ₀ + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) mv² …….(2)
The equation (2) is known as Einstein’s Photoelectric equation.
If the electron does not lose energy by internal collisions, then it is emitted with maximum kinetic energy K_max. Then
K_max = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) mv²_max
where υ_max is the maximum velocity of the electron ejected. The equation (1) is rearranged as follows:
K_max = hυ – Φ₀

Question 37.
(b) Derive the energy expression for hydrogen atom using Bohr atom model.
Answer:
The energy of an electron in the nth orbit
Since the electrostatic force is a conservative force, the potential energy for the orbit is

This implies that U_n = -2 KE_n. Total energy in the «th orbit is
E_n = KE_n + U_n = KE_n – 2KE_n = -KE_n
E_n = \(-\frac{m e^{4}}{8 \varepsilon_{0}^{2} h^{2}} \frac{Z^{2}}{n^{2}}\)
For hydrogen atom (Z = 1),
E_n = \(\frac{m e^{4}}{8 \varepsilon_{0}^{2} h^{2}} \frac{1}{n^{2}} \text { joule }\) ……. (1)
where n stands for principal quantum number. The negative sign in equation (1) indicates that the electron is bound to the nucleus.
Substituting the values of mass and charge of an electron (m and e), permittivity of free space s0 and Planck’s constant h and expressing in terms of eW. we get
E_n = -13.6\(\frac{1}{n^{2}}\)eV
For the first orbit (ground state), the total energy of electron is E₁ = – 13.6 eV. For the second orbit (first excited state), the total energy of electron is E₂ = -3.4 eV. For the third orbit (second excited state), the total energy of electron is E₃ =1.51 eV and so on.

Notice that the energy of the first excited state is greater than the ground state, second excited state is greater than the first excited state and so on. Thus, the orbit which is closest to the nucleus (r₁) has lowest energy (minimum energy compared with other orbits). So, it is often called ground state energy (lowest energy state). The ground state energy of hydrogen (-13.6 eV ) is used as a unit of energy called Rydberg (1 Rydberg = -13.6 eV ).

The negative value of this energy is because of the way the zero of the potential energy is defined. When the electron is taken away to an infinite distance (very far distance) from nucleus, both the potential energy and kinetic energy terms vanish and hence the total energy also vanishes.

Question 38.
(a) Explain the construction and working of a full wave rectifier.
Full wave rectifier:
The positive and negative half cycles of the AC input signal pass through the full wave rectifier circuit and hence it is called the full wave rectifier. It consists of two p-n junction diodes, a center tapped transfonner, and a load resistor (RL). The centre is usually taken as the ground or zero voltage reference point. Due to the centre tap transformer, the output voltage rectified by each diode is only one half of the total secondary voltage.

During positive half cycle:
When the positive half cycle of the ac input signal passes through the circuit, terminal M is positive, G’ is at zero potential and N is at negative potential. This forward biases diode D₁ and reverse biases diode D₂ Hence, being forward biased, diode D₁ conducts and current flows along the path MD₁ AGC . As a result, positive half cycle of the voltage appears across R_L in the direction G to C.

During negative half cycle:
When the negative half cycle of the ac input signal passes through the circuit, terminal N is positive, G is at zero potential and M is at negative potential. This forward biases diode D₂ and reverse biases diode D₁. Hence, being forward biased, diode D₂ conducts and current flows along the path ND₂ BGC . As a result, negative half cycle of the voltage appears across R_L in the same direction from G to C

Hence in a full wave rectifier both positive and negative half cycles of the input signal pass through the circuit in the same direction as shown in figure (b). Though both positive and negative half cycles of ac input are rectified, the output is still pulsating in nature.

The efficiency ( η) of full wave rectifier is twice that of a half wave rectifier and is found to be 81.2 %. It is because both the positive and negative half cycles of the ac input source are rectified.

Among Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺ is more stable due to half filled d-orbital. This can be explained by Aufbau principle. Half filled and completely filled d-orbitals are more stable than partially filled d-orbitals. So Fe³⁺ is more stable than Fe²⁺ .

Question 18.
Write briefly about the applications of coordination compounds in volumetric analysis.
Answer:
Hardness of water is due to the presence of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ions in water. EDTA forms stable complexes with Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ . So the total hardness of water can be estimated by simple volumetric titration of water with EDTA.

Question 20.
A lab assistant prepared a solution by adding a calculated quantity of HC1 gas 25°C to get a solution with [H₃O⁺]= 4 × 10^-5 s M. Is the solution neutral (or) acidic (or) basic.
Answer:
[H₃O⁺] = 4 × 10^-55 M
pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺]
PH = – log₁₀ [4 × 10^-5]
pH = -log₁₀[4]-log_1o[10^-5]
pH = – 0.6020 – (-5) = – 0.6020 + 5
pH = 4.398
Therefore, the solution is acidic.

Question 21.

Answer:
Given that
[Cu²⁺] = 0.1M
E° _Cu²⁺|Cu = 0.34
E_Cell = ?
Cell reaction is Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e^– → Cu (s)

Question 22.
Can we use nucelophiles such as NH3,CH₃O^– for the Nucleophilic substitution of alcohols
Answer:
Increasing order of nucelophilicity,

• Higher electron density will increase the nucelophilicity.
• Negatively charged species are almost always more nucelophiles than neutral species.
• ROe has an alkyl group attached, allowing a greater amount of polarizability. This means oxygen’s lone pairs will be more readily available to reach in \(\mathrm{RO}^{\ominus}\) than in \(\mathrm{OH}^{\ominus}\) . Hence CH₃O^– is the better nucelophile for the nucleophilic substitution of alcohols.
• NH₃ cannot act as nucelophile for the nucleophilic substitution of alcohols.

Question 23.
Aniline does not undergo Friedel – Crafts reaction. Explain.
Answer:
Aniline being a Lewis base reacts with Lewis acid AlCl₃ to form a salt.

Due to the presence of a positive charge on N-atom in the salt the group – NH₂ AlCl^– acts as a strongly deactivating group. As a result, it reduces the electron density in the benzene ring and which inhibits the electrophilic substitution reaction. Therefore aniline does not undergo Friedel – Crafts reaction.

Question 24.
What are hormones? Give examples.
Answer:
Hormone is an organic substance that is secreted by one tissue into the blood stream and induces a physiological response in other tissues. It is an inter cellular signaling molecule. Virtually every process is a complex organism is regulated by one or more hormones. Example, insulin, epinephrine, estrogen, androgen etc.

Ni²⁺ = 3d⁸

• Nature of the complex – Low spin (Spin paired)
• Ligand filled electronic configuration of central metal ion, t⁶_2g e⁶_g
• Magnetic property : No unpaired electron (CN^– is strong filled ligand), hence it is diamagnetic.
• Magnetic moment : μ_s = 0

(b) [NiDl₄]^2-
Ni = 3d⁸ 4S²
Ni²⁺ = 3d⁸

• Nature of the complex, – high spin
• Ligand filled electronic configuration of central metal ion, t⁶_2g e²_g
• Magnetic property : Two unpaired electron (CF is weak field ligand). Hence it is paramagnetic
• Magnetic moment : μ_s= \(\sqrt{2(2+2)}\) = √8 = 2.83BM

Question 28.
Calculate the number of atoms per unit cell of bcc type.
Answer:

• In a body centered cubic unit cell, each comer is occupied by an identical particle and in addition to that one atom occupied the body centre.
• Those atoms which occupy the comers do not touch each other, however they all touch the one that occupies the body centre.
• Hence each atom is surrounded by eight nearest neighbours and coordination number is 8. An atom present at the body centre belongs to only a particular unit cell, i.e., unshared by other unit cell.

∴ number of atoms in a bcc unit cell = \(\frac{N_{c}}{8}+\frac{N_{b}}{1}=\frac{8}{8}=\frac{1}{1}\)
= 1 + = 2.

(ii) Write a short note on anamolous properties of the first element of p-block. (2)
[OR]
(b) (i) Write the products formed in the reaction of concentrated nitric acid with zinc. (2)
(ii) d-block elements readily form complexes. Give reason. (3)
Answer:
(a) (i) 1. For most of the metal oxide formation, the slope is positive. It can be explained as follows.
Oxygen gas is consumed during the formation of metal oxides which results in the decrease in randomness. Hence, ∆S becomes negative and it makes the term, T∆S positive in the straight line equation.

2. The graph for the formation of carbon monoxide is a straight line with negative slope. In this case ∆S is positive as 2 moles of CO gas is formed by the consumption of one mole of oxygen gas. It indicates that CO is more stable at higher temperature.

3. As the temperature increases, generally ∆G value for the formation of the metal oxide become less negative and becomes zero at a particular temperature. Below this temperature, ∆G is negative and the oxide is stable and above this temperature ∆G is positive. This general trend suggests that metal oxides become less stable at higher temperature and their decomposition becomes easier.

4. There is a sudden change in the slope at a particular temperature for some metal oxides like MgO, HgO. This is due to the phase transition (melting or evaporation).

(ii) In p-block elements the first member of each group differs from the other elements of the corresponding group. The following factors are responsible for this anomalous behaviour.

• Small size of the first member.
• High ionisation enthalpy and high electronegativity.
• Absence of d-orbitals in their valance shell.

The first member of the group-13, boron is a metalloid while others are reactive metals. Moreover, boron shows diagonal relationship with silicon of group 14. The oxides of boron and silicon are similar in their acidic nature.

[OR]

(b) (i) Zinc with Cone.

(ii) 1. Transition elements (d-block elements) have a tendency to form coordination • compounds (complexes) with a species that has an ability to donate an electron pair to
form a coordinate covalent bond.

2. Transition metal ions are small and highly charged and they have vacant low energy orbitals to accept an electron pair donated by other groups. Due to these properties, transition metals form large number of complexes.

(a) Express the rate of the reaction in terms of changes in the concentration of NO, O₂ and NO ₂
(b) At a particular instant, when [O₂]is decreasing at 0.2 mol L^-1s^-1 at what rate is [NO₂] increasing at that instant?
(ii) Classify the following as acid (or) base using Arrhen ¡us concept (2)
1. HNO₃ 2. Ba(OH)₂ 3. H₃PO₄ 4. CH₃COOH
Answer:
(a) (1) 1. Na₂[Ni(EDTA)] = Sodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetatonickelate (Il) (or)
Sodium 2,2′,2”,2”’-(ethane- I ,2-diyldinitrilo) tetraacetatonickelate(II)
2. [CO(en)₃]₂(SO₄)₃ = tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) sulphate

(ii) Piezo electricity is the appearance of an electrical potential across the sides of a crystal. When you subject it to mechanical stress. The word piezo electricity means electricity resulting from pressure and latent heat. Even the inverse is possible which is known as inverse piezo electric effect.

(b) (i)

(ii) 1. HNO₃ : Nitric acid, dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water. .. HNOS is acid.
2. Ba(OH)₂ : Barium hydroxide, dissociates to give hydroxyl ions in water.
∴ Ba(OH)₂ is base.
3. H₃PO₄: Orthophosphoric acid, dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water.
∴ H₃PO₄ is acid.
4. CH₃COOH : Acetic acid, dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water.
∴ CH₃COOH is acid.

Question 36.
(a) Derive an expression for Nernst equation. (5)
[OR]
(b) Describe adsorption theory of catalysis. (5)
(a) Nernst equation is the one which relates the cell potential and the concentration of the specie:
involved in an electrochemical reaction.
Let us consider an electrochemical cell for which the overall redox reaction is,
xA+yB ⇌ lC+mD
The reaction quotient Q is,

We know that,
∆G = ∆G°+RT In Q ……..(1)
∴ ∆G = -nFE_cell ;∆G°=-nFE°_cell
∴ equation (1) becomes
– nFE_cell = nFE°_cell + RT lnQ ………(2)
Substitute the Q value in equation (2)

This is called the Nernst equation.
At 25°C (298 K) equation (4) becomes,

[OR]

(b) Adsorption theory:
Langmuir explained the action of catalyst in heterogeneous catalysed reactions based on adsorption. The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the catalyst surfaces, so this can also be called as contact catalysis.
According to this theory, the reactants are adsorbed on the catalyst surface to form an activated complex which subsequently decomposes and gives the product.
The various steps involved in a heterogeneous catalysed reaction are given as follows:

• Reactant molecules diffuse from bulk to the catalyst surface.
• The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst.
• The adsorbed reactant molecules are activated and form activated complex which is decomposed to form the products.
• The product molecules are desorbed.
• The product diffuse away from the surface of the catalyst.

Advantages of adsorption theory:
The adsorption theory explains the following

• Increase in the activity of a catalyst by increasing the surface area. Increase in the surface area of metals and metal oxides by reducing the particle size increases the rate of the reaction.
• The action of catalytic poison occurs when the poison blocks the active centres of the catalyst.
• A promoter or activator increases the number of active centres on the surfaces.

(a)

[OR]

(b) (i) Proteins are the functional units of living things play vital role in all biological processes

• All biochemical reactions occur in the living systems are catalysed by the catalytic proteins called enzymes.
• Proteins such as keratin, collagen acts as structural back bones.
• Proteins are used for transporting molecules (Haemoglobin), organelles (Kinesins) in the cell and control the movement of molecules in and out of the cells (Transporters).
• Antibodies help the body to fight various diseases.
• Proteins are used as messengers to coordinate many functions. Insulin & glucagon controls the glucose level in the blood.
• Proteins act as receptors that detect presence of certain signal molecules and activate the proper response.
• Proteins are also used to store metals such as iron (Ferritin) etc.

(ii) Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a chemical substance which lowers body temperature (to normal) and also reduces body pain. Therefore it acts as both antipyretic and analgesic.

PART – III
III. Answer The Following Questions

Question 1.
What is a constraint? Write short note on Primary key constraint?
Answer:
Constraints are used to limit the type of data that can go into a table. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data in the database. Constraints could be either on a column level or a table level.

Primary Key Constraint:
This constraint declares a field as a Primary key which helps to uniquely identify a record. It is similar to unique constraint except that only one field of a table can be set as primary key. The primary key does not allow NULL values and therefore a field declared as primary key must have the NOT NULL constraint.
Example showing Primary Key Constraint in the student table:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, → Primary Key constraint
Name char(20)NOT NULL,
Gender char(l),
Age integer,
Place char(10),
);

Question 2.
Write a SQL statement to modify the student table structure by adding a new field?
Answer:
ALTER TABLE Student MODIFY Address char(25);

Question 3.
Write any three DDL commands
a. CREATE TABLE Command
Answer:
You can create a table by using the CREATE TABLE command.
CREATE TABLE Student
(Admno integer,
Name char(20), \
Gender char(1),
Age integer,
Place char(10),
);

b. ALTER COMMAND
The ALTER command is used to alter the table structure like adding a column, renaming the existing column, change the data type of any column or size of the column or delete the column from the table.
Alter table Student add address char;

c. DROP TABLE:
Drop table command is used to remove a table from the database.
DROP TABLE Student;

Question 4.
Write the use of Savepoint command with an example?
SAVEPOINT command
Answer:
The SAVEPOINT command is used to temporarily save a transaction so that you can rollback to the point whenever required. The different states of our table can be saved at anytime using different names and the rollback to that state can be done using the ROLLBACK command.
SAVEPOINT savepoint_name;
UPDATE Student SET Name = ‘Mini ’ WHERE Admno=105;
SAVEPOINT A;

Question 5.
Write a SQL statement using DISTINCT keyword?
Answer:
DISTINCT Keyword:
The DISTINCT keyword is used along with the SELECT command to eliminate duplicate rows in the table. This helps to eliminate redundant data. For Example:
SELECT DISTINCT Place FROM Student;
Will display the following data as follows :
SELECT * FROM Student;
Output
Place
Chennai
Bangalore
Delhi

PART – IV
IV. Answer The Following Questions

Question 1.
Write the different types of constraints and their functions?
Answer:
Type of Constraints
Constraints ensure database integrity, therefore known as database integrity constraints. The different types of constraints are :

(i) Unique Constraint
This constraint ensures that no two rows have the same value in the specified columns. For example UNIQUE constraint applied on Admno of student table ensures that no two students have the same admission number and the constraint can be used as:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer NOT NULL UNIQUE, → Unique constraint
Name char (20) NOT NULL,
Gender char (1),
Age integer,
Place char (10),
);
The UNIQUE constraint can be applied only to fields that have also been declared as NOT NULL.
When two constraints are applied on a single field, it is known as multiple constraints. In the above Multiple constraints NOT NULL and UNIQUE are applied on a single field Admno, the constraints are separated by a space and at the end of the field definition a comma(,) is added. By adding these two constraints the field Admno must take some value ie. will not be NULL and should not be duplicated.

(ii) Primary Key Constraint
This constraint declares a field as a Primary key which helps to uniquely identify a record. It is similar to unique constraint except that only one field of a table can be set as primary key. The primary key does not allow NULL values and therefore a field declared as primary key must have the NOT NULL constraint.
Example showing Primary Key Constraint in the student table:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, → Primary Key constraint
Name char(20)NOT NULL,
Gender char(I),
Age integer,
Place char(10),
);
In the above example the Admno field has been set as primary key and therefore will help us to uniquely identify a record, it is also set NOT NULL, therefore this field value cannot be empty.

(iii) DEFAULT Constraint
The DEFA ULT constraint is used to assign a default value for the field. When no value is given for the specified field having DEFAULT constraint, automatically the default value will be assigned to the field.
Example showing DEFAULT Constraint in the student table:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name char(20)NOTNULL,
Gender char(1),
Age integer DEFAULT = “17”, → Default Constraint
Place char(10),
);
In the above example the “Age” field is assigned a default value of 17, therefore when no value is entered in age by the user, it automatically assigns 17 to Age.

(iv) Check Constraint:
This constraint helps to set a limit value placed for a field. When we define a check constraint on a single column, it allows only the restricted values on that field. Example showing check constraint in the student table:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
Name char(20)NOTNULL,
Gender char(1),
Age integer (CHECK<=19),
→ Check Constraint
Place char(10),
);
In the above example the check constraint is set to Age field where the value of Age must be less than or equal to 19.
Note
The check constraint may use relational and logical operators for condition.

(v) TABLE CONSTRAINT
When the constraint is applied to a group of fields of the table, it is known as Table constraint. The table constraint is normally given at the end of the table definition. Let us take a new table namely Studentl with the following fields Admno, Firstname, Lastname, Gender, Age, Place: CREATE TABLE Student 1
Admno integer NOT NULL,
Firstname char(20),
Lastname char(20),
Gender char(1),
Age integer,
Place char(10),
PRIMARY KEY (Firstname, Lastname) → Table constraint
);
In the above example, the two fields, Firstname and Lastname are defined as Primary key which is a Table constraint.

Question 2.
Consider the following employee table. Write SQL commands for the qtns.(i) to (v)?
Answer:

1. To display the details of all employees in descending order of pay.
2. To display all employees whose allowance is between 5000 and 7000.
3. To remove the employees who are mechanic.
4. To add a new row.
5. To display the details of all employees who are operators.

Output:

1. SELECT * FROM employee ORDER BY DESC;
2. SELECT * FROM employee WHERE ((allowance >= 5000) AND(allowance <= 7000));
3. DELETE FROM employee WHERE desig = “Mechanic”;
4. INSERT INTO employee(Empcode, Name, desig, pay, allowance) VALUES(‘M1006’, ‘RAM’, ‘Mechanic’,22000, 8000);
5. SELECT * FROM employee WHERE desig = ‘operator’;

Question 3.
What are the components of SQL? Write the commands in each? Components of SQL?
SQL commands are divided into five categories:
Answer:

a. Data Definition Language
The Data Definition Language (DDL) consist of SQL statements used to define the database structure or schema. It simply deals with descriptions of the database schema and is used to create and modify the structure of database objects in databases.
SQL commands which comes under Data Definition Language are:

b. Data Manipulation Language
A Data Manipulation Language (DML) is a computer programming language used for adding (inserting), removing (deleting), and modifying (updating) data in a database.
SQL commands which comes under Data Manipulation Language are :

c. Data Control Language:
A Data Control Language (DCL) is used for controlling privileges in the database SQL commands: GRANT, REVOKE

d. Transactional Control Language:
Transactional control language (TCL) is used to manage transactions i.e. changes made to the data in the database.
SQL commands: COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT

e. Data Query Language:
The Data Query Language (DQL) have commands to query or retrieve data from the database.
SQL commands: SELECT.

Question 4.
Construct the following SQL statements in the student table –
(i) SELECT statement using GROUP BY clause.
(ii) SELECT statement using ORDER BY clause.

(i) GROUP BY clause
The GROUP BY clause is used with the SELECT statement to group the students on rows or columns having identical values or divide the table into groups. For example to know the number of male students or female students of a class, the GROUP BY clause may be used. It is mostly used in conjunction with aggregate functions to produce summary reports from the database.
The syntax for the GROUP BY clause is
SELECT <column-names> FROM <table-name> GROUP BY <column-name>HAVING condition];
To apply the above command on the student table :
SELECT Gender FROM Student GROUP BY Gender;
The following command will give the below given result:

SELECT Gender, count(*) FROM Student GROUP BY Gender;

(ii) ORDER BY clause
The ORDER RTclause in SQL is used to sort the data in either ascending or descending based on one or more columns.
1. By default ORDER BY sorts the data in ascending order.
2. We can use the keyword DESC to sort the data in descending order and the keyword ASC to sort in ascending order.
The ORDER BY clause is used as:
SELECT <column-name> [,<column-name>,….] FROM <table-name> ORDER
BY <column1>,<column2>, …ASC\ DESC;
For example :
To display the students in alphabetical order of their names, the command is used as
SELECT * FROM Student ORDER BY Name;
The above student table is arranged as follows :

Question 5.
Write a SQL statement to create a table for employee having any five fields and create a table constraint for the employee table?
Answer:
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
(Empcode integer NOT NULL,
Name char(20),
desig char(20),
pay integer,
allowance integer,
PRIMARY KEY(Name, desig));

PART – III
III. Answer The Following Questions

Question 1.
Write note on SQL?
Answer:

1. The Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard programming language to access and manipulate databases.
2. SQL allows the user to create, retrieve, alter, and transfer information among databases.
3. It is a language designed for managing and accessing data in a Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS).

Question 2.
What are the various processing skills of SQL?
Answer:
The various processing skills of SQL are :
(i) Data Definition Language (DDL) :
The SQL DDL provides commands for defining relation schemes (structure), deleting relations, creating indexes and modifying relation schemes.

(ii) Data Manipulation Language (DML) :
The SQL DML includes commands to insert, delete, and modify tuples in the database.

(iii) Embedded Data Manipulation Language :
The embedded form of SQL is used in high level programming languages.

(iv) View Defintion :
The SQL also includes commands for defining views of tables.

(v) Authorization :
The SQL includes commands for access rights to relations and views of tables.

(vi) Integrity :
The SQL provides forms for integrity checking using condition.

(vii) Transaction control :
The SQL includes commands for file transactions and control over transaction processing.

Question 3.
How to create and work with database?

CREATE DATABASE database_name;
For example to create a database to store the tables:
CREATE DATABASE stud;

(ii) To work with the database, type the following command.
USE DATABASE;
For example to use the stud database created, give the command
USE stud;

Question 4.
What are the functions performed by DDL?
Answer:

Answer:
Keywords They have a special meaning in SQL. They are understood as instructions.
Commands They are instructions given by the user to the database also known as statements.
Clauses They begin with a keyword and consist of keyword and argument.
Arguments They are the values given to make the clause complete.

Question 7.
Write note on delete command?
Answer:
DELETE COMMAND
The DELETE command permanently removes one or more records from the table. It removes the entire row, not individual fields of the row, so no field argument is needed. The DELETE command is used as follows :
DELETE FROM table-name WHERE condition;
For example to delete the record whose admission number is 104 the command is given as follows:
DELETE FROM Student WHERE Admno=104;

The following record is deleted from the Student table.
To delete all the rows of the table, the. command is used as :
DELETE * FROM Student;
The table will be empty now and could be destroyed using the DROP command.

Question 8.
Write note on delete, truncate, drop commands?
Answer:
DELETE, TRUNCATE AND DROP statement:
The DELETE command deletes only the rows from the table based on the condition given in the where clause or deletes all the rows from the table if no condition is specified. But it does not free the space containing the table.
The TRUNCATE command is used to delete all the rows, the structure remains in the table and free the space containing the table.
The DROP command is used to remove an object from the database. If you drop a table, all the rows in the table is deleted and the table structure is removed from the database. Once a table is dropped we cannot get it back.

Question 9.
Differentiate between and not between?
Answer:
BETWEEN and NOT BETWEEN Keywords
The BETWEEN keyword defies a range of values the record must fall into to make the condition true. The range may include an upper value and a lower value between which the criteria must fall into.
SELECT Admno, Name, Age, Gender FROM Student WHERE Age BETWEEN 18 AND 19;

The NOT BETWEEN is reverse of the BETWEEN operator where the records not satisfying the condition are displayed.
SELECT Admno, Name, Age FROM Student WHERE Age NOT BETWEEN 18 AND 19;

Question 10.
Differentiate IN and NOT IN
Answer:
IN Keyword
The IN keyword is used to specify a list of values which must be matched with the record values. In other words it is used to compare a column with more than one value. It is similar to an OR condition.
For example:
SELECT Admno, Name, Place FROM Student WHERE Place IN (“Chennai, “Delhi ”);

NOT IN: The NOT IN keyword displays only those records that do not match in the list. For example:
SELECT Admno, Name, Place FROM Student WHERE Place NOT IN (“Chennai”, ‘ “Delhi”);
will display students only from places other than “Chennai” and “Delhi”.

Question 11.
Write note on NULL?
Answer:
NULL Value:
The NULL value in a field can be searched in a table using the IS NULL in the WHERE c lause. For example to list all the students whose Age contains no value, the command is used as:
SELECT * FROM Student WHERE Age IS NULL.

Question 12.
Write note on Roll Back?
Answer:
ROLLBACK command
The ROLLBACK command restores the database to the last committed state. It is used with SAVEPOINT command to jump to a particular savepoint location. The syntax for the ROLLBACK command is :
ROLL BACK TO Save point name.

Question 13.
Write note on having clause?
Answer:
HAVING clause:
The HAVING clause can be used along with GROUP BY clause in the SELECT statement to place condition on groups and can include aggregate functions on them. For example to count the number of Male and Female students belonging to Chennai.
SELECT gender, COUNT(*) FROM Student GROUP BY Gender HAVING Place = ‘Chennai’;

The above output shows the number of Male and Female students in Chennai from the table student.

IV. Answer The Following Questions

Question 1.
Write about data type and description?
Answer:

Question 2.
Write about DML Commands?
Answer:
DML COMMANDS
Once the schema or structure of the table is created, values can be added to the table. The DML commands consist of inserting, deleting and updating rows into the table.

(i) INSERT command
The INSERT command helps to add new data to the database or add new records to the table. Syntax:
INSERT INTO <table-name> [column-list] VALUES (values);

(a) INSER T INTO Student (Admno, Name, Gender, Age, Place)
VALUES (100, ‘Ashish ’, ‘M\ 17, ‘Chennai);

(b) INSERT INTO Student (Admno, Name, Gender, Age, Place)
VALUES (10, ‘Adarsh’, ‘M’, 18, ‘Delhi);

(c) INSERT INTO Student VALUES (102, ‘Akshith \ ‘M’, ‘17, ’ ‘Bangalore);
The above command inserts the record into the student table.
To add data to only some columns in a record by specifying the column name and their data, it can be done by:

(d) INSERT INTO Student(Admno, Name, Place) VALUES (103, ‘Ayush’, ‘Delhi’);

(e) INSERT INTO Student (Admno, Name, Place) VALUES (104, ‘Abinandh ‘Chennai); The student table will have the following data:

(ii) DELETE COMMAND
The DELETE command permanently removes one or more records from the table. It removes the entire row, not individual fields of the row, so no field argument is needed. The DELETE command is used as follows:
DELETE FROM table-name WHERE condition;
For example to delete the record whose admission number is 104 the command is given as follows:
DELETE FROM Student WHERE Admno=104;

The following record is deleted from the Student table.
To delete all the rows of the table, the command is used as :
DELETE * FROM Student;
The table will be empty now and could be destroyed using the DROP command.

(iii) UPDATE COMMAND
The UPDATE command updates some or all data values in a database. It can update one or more records in a table. The UPDATE command specifies the rows to be changed using the WHERE clause and the new data using the SET keyword. The command is used as follows: UPDATE <table-name> SET column-name = value, column-name = value,… WHERE condition;
For example to update the following fields:
UPDATE Student SET Age = 20 WHERE Place = “Bangalore ”;
The above command will change the age to 20 for those students whose place is “Bangalore”.
The table will be as updated as below:

To update multiple fields, multiple field assignment can be specified with the SET clause separated by comma. For example to update multiple fields in the Student table, the command is given as:
UPDATE Student SETAge=18, Place = ‘Chennai’ WHERE Admno = 102;

The above command modifies the record in the following way.

Answer:
Fluorine the most electronegative element than other halogens and cannot exhibit any positive oxidation state. Fluorine does not have d-orbital while other halogens have d-orbitals. Therefore fluorine always exhibit an oxidation state of-1 and others in halogen family shows +1, +3, +5 and +7 oxidation states.

Question 18.
What is Zeigler -Natta catalyst? In which reaction it is used? Give equation.
Answer:
A mixture of TiCl₄ and trialkyl aluminium is Zeigler – Natta catalyst. It is used in the polymerization.

Question 19.
Give any three characteristics of ionic crystals.
Answer:

• Ionic solids have high melting points.
• These solids do not conduct electricity, because the ions are fixed in their lattice positions. ‘
• They do conduct electricity in molten state (or) when dissolved in water because, the ions are free to move in the molten state or solution.

Question 20.
How is surface area of the reactant affect the rate of the reaction?
Answer:

• In heterogeneous reactions, the surface area of the solid reactants play an important role in deciding the rate.
• For a given mass of a reactant, when the particle size decreases surface area increases. Increase in surface area of reactant leads to more collisions per litre per second and hence the rate of reaction is increased.
• For example, powdered calcium carbonate reacts much faster with dilute HCl than with the same mass of CaCO₃ as marble.

[OH^– ] > 1 × 10^-4 M
[OH^– ] = 1 × 10^-4 M
pOH = – log_1o[OH^–] = – log(1 × 10^-4) = 4
pH = 14 – 4 = 10
Thus, Al(OH)₃ precipitates at a pH of 10

Question 22.
Arrange the following in the increasing order of their boiling point and give a reason for your ordering: Butan – 2- ol, Butan -l-ol, 2 -methylpropan -2-ol
Answer:
Boiling points increases regularly as the molecular mass increases due to a corresponding increase in their Van der waal’s force of attraction. Among isomeric alcohols 2°-alcohols have lower boiling points than 1 “-alcohols due to a corresponding decreases in the extent of H-bonding because of steric hindrance. Thus the boiling point of Butan – 2- ol is lower than that of Butan – l-ol. Overall increasing order of boiling points is,
2-methylpropan-2-ol < Butan-2- ol < Butan – l-ol

Question 23.

• Both chromate and dichromate ions are oxo anions of chromium and they are moderately strong oxidising agents.
• In both structures, chromium is in +6 oxidation state.
• In an aqueous solution, chromate and dichromate ions can be inter convertible, and in an alkaline solution, chromate ion is predominant, whereas dichromate ion becomes predominant in acidic solutions.

Question 28.
Why ionic crystals are hard and brittle?
Answer:
The ionic compounds are very hard and brittle. In ionic compounds the ions are rigidly held in a lattice because the positive and negative ions are strongly attracted to each other and difficult to separate. But the brittleness of a compound is now easy to shift the position of atoms or ions in a lattice. If we apply a pressure on the ionic compounds the layers shifts slightly. The same charged ions in the lattice comes closer. A repulsive forces arises between same charged ions, due to this repulsions the lattice structure breaks down chemical bonding.

Question 29.
Paracetamol is prescribed to take once in 6 hours. Justify this statement.
Answer:

• Paracetamol is a well known antipyretic and analgesic that is prescribed in cases of fever
  and body pain.
• Paracetamol has a half life of 2.5 hours within the body, (i.e) the plasma concentration of the drug is halved after 2.5 hours. So after 10 hours (4 half lives), only 6.25% of drug remains. Based on this, the dosage and frequency will be decided.
• In the case of paracetamol, it is usually prescribed to take once in 6 hours.

Question 30.
A solution of a salt of metal was electrolysed for 150 minutes with a current of 0. 15 amperes. The mass of the metal deposited at the cathode is 0.783g. Calculate the equivalent mass of the metal.
Answer:
Given, I = 0.15 amperes
t = 150 mins ⇒ t = 150 x 60 sec ⇒ t = 9000 sec
Q = It ⇒ Q = 0.15 x 9000 coulombs ⇒ Q = 1350 coulombs Hence, 135 coulombs of electricity deposit is equal to \(\frac{0.783 \times 96500}{1350}=55.97\) g of metal.
∴ Hence equivalent mass of the metal is 55.97

Question 32.
Write a short note on peptide bond.
Answer:

• The amino acids are linked covalently by peptide bonds.
• The carbonyl group of the first amino acid react with the amino group of the second amino acid to give an amide linkage (-CONH) between these aminoacids. This amide linkage is called peptide bond.

• The resulting compound is called a dipeptide. Because, two amino acids are inovlved for getting one peptide bond.
• If large number of amino acids combined through peptide bond, the resulting giant molecule is called a protein.
• The amino end of the peptide is known as N-terminal, while the carboxy end is called C – terminal.

Question 34.
(a) (0 Explain the concentration of copper pyrites and galena ores. (3)
(ii) Out of LU(OH)₃ and La(OH)₃ which is more basic and why? (2)
(b) Explain the preparation of silicones. (5)
Answer:
(a) (i) Froth floatation: This method is commonly used to concentrate sulphide ores such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) etc. In this method, the metallic ore particles which are preferentially wetted by oil can be separated from gangue.

In this method, the crushed ore is suspended in water and mixed with frothing agent such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil etc. A small quantity of sodium ethyl xanthate which acts as a collector is also added. A froth is generated by blowing air through this mixture.

The collector molecules attach to the ore particle and make them water repellent. As a result, ore particles, wetted by the oil, rise to the surface along with the froth. The froth is skimmed off and dried to recover the concentrated ore. The gangue particles that are preferentially wetted by water settle at the bottom.

When a sulphide ore of a metal of interest contains other metal sulphides as impurities, depressing agents such as sodium cyanide, sodium carbonate etc are used to selectively prevent other metal sulphides from coming to the froth. For example, when impurities such as ZnS is present in galena (PbS), sodium cyanide (NaCN) is added to depresses the floatation property of ZnS by forming a layer of zinc complex Na₂[Zn(CN)₄] on the surface of zinc sulphide.

(ii) 1. As we move from Ce³⁺ to Lu³⁺, the basic character of Lu³⁺ ions decreases.
2. Due to the decrease in the size of Lu³⁺ ions, the ionic character of Lu – OH bond decreases, covalent character increases which results in the decrease in the basicity.
3. Hence, La(OH)₃ is more basic than Lu(OH)₃.

[OR]

(b) Generally silicones are prepared by the hydrolysis of dialkyldichlorosilanes (R₂SiCl₂ ) or diaryldichlorosilanes Ar₂SiCl₂, which are prepared by passing vapours of RCl or ArCl over silicon at 570 K with copper as a catalyst.

The hydrolysis of dialkylchloro silanes R₂SiCl₂ yields to a straight chain polymer which grown from both the sides

The hydrolysis of monoalkylchloro silanes RSiCl₃ yields to a very complex cross linked polymer. Linear silicones can be converted into cyclic or ring silicones when water molecules is removed from the terminal -OH groups.

Answer any six questions. Question No. 26 is compulsory. [6 × 3 = 18]

Question 25.
Give the relation between electric field and electric potential.
Answer:
Consider a positive charge q kept fixed at the origin. To move a unit positive charge by a small ‘ distance dx in the electric field E, the work done is given by dW = -E dx. The minus sign implies that work is done against the electric field. This work done is equal to electric potential difference. Therefore,
dW = dV. (or) dV = -E dx
Hence E = \(-\frac{d V}{d x}\)
The electric field is the negative gradient of the electric potential.

Question 29.
Why does sky appear blue?
Answer:
Blue colour of the sky is due to scattering of sunlight by air molecules. According to Rayleigh’s law, intensity of scattered light, I ∝ \(\frac{1}{\lambda^{4}}\). So blue light of shorter wavelength is scattered much more than red light of larger wavelength. The blue component is proportionally more in light coming from different parts of the sky. That is why the sky appears blue.

Question 30.
Write down the postulates of Bohr atom model.
Answer:
Postulates of Bohr atom model:
The electron in an atom moves around nucleus in circular orbits under the influence of Coulomb electrostatic force of attraction. This Coulomb force gives necessary centripetal force for the electron to undergo circular motion.

Electrons in an atom revolve around the nucleus only in certain discrete orbits called stationary orbits where it does not radiate electromagnetic energy. Only those discrete orbits allowed are stable orbits.

Question 34.
(a) Derive an expression for the torque experienced by a dipole due to a uniform electric field.
Answer:

Torque experienced by an electric dipole in the uniform electric field: Consider an electric dipole of dipole moment \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}\) placed in a uniform electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) whose field lines are equally spaced and point in the same direction. The charge +q will experience a force q \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) in the direction of the field and charge -q will experience a force -q \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) in a direction opposite to the field. Since the external field
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) is uniform, the total force acting on the dipole is zero. These two forces acting at different points will constitute a couple and the dipole experience a torque. This torque tends to rotate the dipole. (Note that electric field lines of a uniform field are equally spaced and point in the same direction). The total torque on the dipole about the point O
\(\vec{\tau}=\overrightarrow{O A} \times(-q \vec{E})+\overrightarrow{O B} \times q \vec{E}\)
Using right-hand corkscrew rule, it is found that total torque is perpendicular to the plane of the paper and is directed into it.
The magnitude of the total torque
\(\vec{\tau}=|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OA}}|(-q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}) \sin \theta+|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OB}} \| q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}| \sin \theta\)
\(\vec{\tau}\) = qE 2a sin θ
where θ is the angle made by \(\vec{p}\) with \(\vec{E}\). Since p = 2aq, the torque is written in terms of the vector product as
\(\vec{\tau}=\vec{p} \times \vec{E}\)
The magnitude of this torque is \(\tau\) =pE sin θ and is maximum when θ = 90°.
This torque tends to rotate the dipole and align it with the electric field \(\vec{E}\) . Once \(\vec{p}\) is aligned with \(\vec{E}\), the total torque on the dipole becomes zero.

Question 34.
(b) Explain the determination of the internal resistance of a cell using voltmeter.
Answer:

Determination of internal resistance : The emf of cell \(\xi\) is measured by connecting a high resistance voltmeter across it without connecting the external resistance R. Since the voltmeter draws very little current for deflection, the circuit may be considered as open. Hence, the voltmeter reading gives the emf of the cell. Then, external resistance R is included in the circuit and current I is established in the circuit. The potential difference across R is equal to the potential difference across the cell (V).
The potential drop across the resistor R is
V = IR …………. (1)
Due to internal resistance r of the cell, the voltmeter reads a value V, which is less than the emf of cell . It is because, certain amount of voltage (Ir) has dropped across the internal resistance r.
Then V = \(\xi\) – Ir
Ir = \(\xi\) – V
Dividing equation (2) by equation (1). we get
\(\begin{aligned}
\frac{I r}{I R} &=\frac{\xi-V}{V} \\
r &=\left|\frac{\xi-V}{V}\right| R
\end{aligned}\)
Since \(\xi\), V and R are known, internal resistance r can be determined.

Question 35.
(a) Obtain the magnetic induction at a point on the equatorial line of a bar magnet.
Answer:
Magnetic field at a point along the equatorial line due to a magnetic dipole (bar magnet) Consider a bar magnet NS. Let N be the north pole and S be the south pole of the bar magnet, each with pole strength q_m and separated by a distance of 2l. The magnetic field at a point C (lies along the equatorial line) at a distance r from the geometrical center O of the bar magnet can be computed by keeping unit north pole (q_m C = 1 A m) at C. The force experienced by the unit north pole at C due to pole strength N – S can be computed using Coulomb’s law of
magnetism as follows:

The force of repulsion between North Pole of the bar magnet and unit north pole at point C
(in free space) is
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}=-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{N}} \cos \theta \hat{i}+\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{N}} \sin \theta \hat{j}\) ……….. (2)
Where F_N = \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \frac{q_{m}}{r^{\prime 2}}\)

From equation (1) and equation (2). the net force at point C is \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}+\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{S}}\) This net force is equal to the magnetic field at the point C.
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) =—(FN+Fs)cosOi
Since, F_N = F_s

In a right angle triangle NOC as shown in the Figure 1

Substituting equation 4 in equation 3 we get


Since, magnitude of magnetic dipole moment is |\(\vec{p}\)_m| = P_m = q_m.2l and substituting in equation (5), the magnetic field at a point C

If the distance between two poles in a bar magnet are small (looks like short magnet) when compared to the distance between geometrical center O of bar magnet and the location of point
C i.e., r >>l, then,
(r² + l²)^3/2 ≈ r³ …….. (7)
Therefore, using equation (7) in equation (6), we get

Since P_mî = \(\vec{p}\) _m in general, the magnetic field al equatorial point is given by

Note that magnitude of B_axial is twice that of magnitude of B_equatorial and the direction of B_axial and B_equatorial are opposite.

Question 35.
(b) How will you induce an emf by changing the area enclosed by the coil?
Answer:
Induction of emf by changing the area of the coil: Consider a conducting rod of length 1 moving with a velocity v towards left on a rectangular metallic framework. The whole arrangement is placed in a uniform magnetic field B whose magnetic lines are perpendicularly directed into the plane of the paper. As the rod moves from AB to DC in a time dt , the area enclosed by the loop and hence the magnetic flux through the loop decreases.

The change in magnetic flux in time dr is
dΦ_B = B × change in area
= B × AreaABCD
= Blvdt
since Area ABCD l(vdt)
or = \(\frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{d t}=\mathrm{B} l v\)
As a result of change in flux, an emf is generated in the loop. The magnitude of the induced emf is
\(\varepsilon=\frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{d t}=\mathrm{B} / v\)
This emf is called motional emf. The direction of induced current is found to be clockwise from Fleming’s right hand rule.

Question 36.
(a) Write down Maxwell equations in integral form.
Answer:
Maxwell’s equations in integral form: Electrodynamics can be summarized into four basic equations, known as Maxwell’s equations. These equations are analogous to Newton’s equations in mechanics. Maxwell’s equations completely explain the behaviour of charges, currents and prop

1. First equation is nothing but the Gauss’s law. It relates the net electric flux to net electric charge enclosed in a surface. Mathematically, it is expressed as
\(\oint \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \cdot d \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{\text {enclosed }}}{\varepsilon_{0}}\)
Where \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) is the electric field and Q_enclosed is the charge enclosed. This equation is true for both discrete or continuous distribution of charges. It also indicates that the electric field lines start from positive charge and terminate at negative charge. This implies that the electric field lines do not form a continuous closed path. In other words, it means that isolated positive charge or negative charge can exist.

2. Second equation has no name. But this law is similar to Gauss’s law in electrostatics. So this law can also be called as Gauss’s law in magnetism. The surface integral of ‘ magnetic field over a closed surface is zero. Mathematically,
\(\oint \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot d \overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}=0\)
where \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) is the magnetic field. This equation implies that the magnetic lines of force form a continuous closed path. In other words, it means that no isolated magnetic monopole exists.

3. Third equation is Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. This law relates electric field with the changing magnetic flux which is mathematically written as
\(\oint \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \cdot d \vec{l}=\frac{d}{d t} \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}\)
where \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) is the electric field. This equation implies that the line integral of the electric field around any closed path is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the closed path bounded by the surface.

4. Fourth equation is modified Ampere’s circuital law. This is also known as ampere Maxwell’s law. This law relates the magnetic field around any closed path to the conduction current and displacement current through that path.
\(\oint \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot d \vec{l}=\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{\text {enclosed }}+\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0} \int \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \cdot \overrightarrow{d \mathrm{A}}\)
Where \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) is the magnetic field. This equation shows that both conduction and also displacement current produces magnetic field. These four equations are known as Maxwell’s equations in electrodynamics.

Question 36.
(b) Obtain lens maker’s formula and mention its significance.
Answer:
Lens maker’s formula and lens equation: Let us consider a thin lens made up of a medium of refractive index n₂ is placed in a medium of refractive index n₁ . Let R₁ and R₂ be the radii of curvature of two spherical surfaces (1) and (2) respectively and P be the pole. Consider a point object O on the principal axis. The ray which falls very close to P, after refraction at the surface (1) forms image at I’. Before it does so, it is again refracted by the surface (2). Therefore the final image is formed at I. The general equation for the refraction at a spherical surface is given by

For the refracting surface (1), the light goes from to n₁ to n₂

If the object is at infinity, the image is formed at the focus of the lens. Thus, for u = oo, v =/ Then the equation becomes.

If the refractive index of the lens is n₂ and it is placed in air, then n₂ = n and n₁ = 1. So the equation (4) becomes,
\(\frac{1}{f}=(n-1)\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}\right)\)

The above equation is called the lens maker’s formula, because it tells the lens manufactures what curvature is needed to make a lens of desired focal length with a material of particular refractive index. This formula holds good also for a concave lens. By comparing the equations (3) and (4) we can write,
\(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\) ……… (6)
This equation is known as lens equation which relates the object distance it and image distance v with the focal length / of the lens. This formula holds good for a any type of lens.

Question 37.
(a) Briefly discuss the observations of Hertz, Hallwachs and Lenard.
Answer:
Hertz observation:

• In 1887, Heinrich Hertz first became successful in generating and detecting electromagnetic wave with his high voltage induction coil to cause a spark discharge between two metallic spheres.
• When a spark is formed, the charges will oscillate back and forth rapidly and the electromagnetic waves are produced.
• The electromagnetic waves thus produced were detected by a detector that has a copper wire bent in the shape of a circle. Although the detection of waves is successful, there is a problem in observing the tiny spark produced in the detector.
• In order to improve the visibility of the spark, Hertz made many attempts and finally noticed an important thing that small detector spark became more vigorous when it was exposed to ultraviolet light.
• The reason for this behaviour of the spark was not known at that time. Later it was found that it is due to the photoelectric emission.
• Whenever ultraviolet light is incident on the metallic sphere, the electrons on the outer surface are emitted which caused the spark to be more vigorous.

Hallwachs’ observation:

• In 1888, Wilhelm Hallwachs, a German physicist, confirmed that the strange behaviour of the spark is due to the action of ultraviolet light with his simple experiment.
• A clean circular plate of zinc is mounted on an insulating stand and is attached to a gold leaf electroscope by a wire. When the uncharged zinc plate is irradiated by ultraviolet light from an arc lamp, it becomes positively charged and the leaves will open.
• Further, if the negatively charged zinc plate is exposed to ultraviolet light, the leaves will close as the charges leaked away quickly. If the plate is positively charged, it becomes more positive upon UV rays irradiation and the leaves will open further.
• From these observations, it was concluded that negatively charged electrons were emitted from the zinc plate under the action of ultraviolet light.

Lenard,s observation:
1. In 1902, Lenard studied this electron emission phenomenon in detail. The apparatus consists of two metallic plates A and C placed in an evacuated quartz bulb. The galvanometer G and battery B are connected in the circuit.

2. When ultraviolet light is incident on the negative plate C, an electric current flows in the circuit that is indicated by the deflection in the galvanorneter. On other hand, if the positive plate is irradiated by
the ultraviolet light, no current is observed in the circuit.

3. From these observations, it is concluded that when ultraviolet light falls on the negative plate. electrons are ejected from it which are attracted by the positive plate A. On reaching the positive plate through the evacuated bulb, the circuit is completed and the current flows in it.

4. Thus, the ultraviolet light falling on the negative plate causes the electron emission from
the surface of the plate.

Question 37.
(b) Obtain the law of radioactivity.
Law of radioactive decay:
At any instant t, the number of decays per unit time, called rate of decay \(\left(\frac{d \mathrm{N}}{d t}\right)\) is proportional to the number of nuclei (N ) at the same instant.
\(\frac{d \mathrm{N}}{d t} \propto \mathrm{N}\)

By introducing a proportionality constant, the relation can be written as dN
\(\frac{d \mathrm{N}}{d t}=-\lambda \mathrm{N}\) ……… (1)

Here proportionality constant X is called decay constant which is different for different radioactive sample and the negative sign in the equation implies that the N is decreasing with time. By rewriting the equation (1), we get
dN = -λ Ndt …………(2)

Here dN represents the number of nuclei decaying in the time interval dt. Let us assume that at time t = 0 s, the number of nuclei present in the radioactive sample is N₀ . By integrating the equation (2), we can calculate the number of undecayed nuclei N at any time t.
From equation (2), we get

Taking exponentials on both sides, we get
N = N₀e^-λt …… (4)
[Note: e^lnx = e^y ⇒ x = e^y]

Equation (4) is called the law of radioactive decay. Here N denotes the number of undecayed nuclei present at any time t and N0 denotes the number of nuclei at initial time I = O. Note that the number of atoms is decreasing exponentially over the time. This implies that the time taken for all the radioactive nuclei to decay will be infinite. Equation (4) is plotted.
We can also define another useful quantity called activity (R) or decay rate which is the number of nuclei decayed per second and it is denoted as R = \(\left|\frac{d \mathbf{N}}{d t}\right|\)
Note: that activity R is a positive quantity. From equation (4), we get
R = \(\left|\frac{d \mathrm{N}}{d t}\right|=\lambda \mathrm{N}_{0} e^{-\lambda t}\) …… (5)
R = R₀e^-λt …………..(6)
where R₀ = λN₀
The equation (6) is also equivalent to radioactive law of decay. Here RQ is the activity of the sample at t = 0 and R is the activity of the sample at any time t. From equation (6), activity also shows exponential decay behavior. The activity R also can be expressed in terms of number of undecayed atoms present at any time t. From equation (6), since N = N₀ e^-λt we write
R = λN …………..(7)
Equation (4) implies that the activity at any time t is equal to the product of decay constant and number of undecayed nuclei at the same time t. Since N decreases over time, R also decreases.

Question 38.
(a) Describe the function of a transistor as an amplifier with the neat circuit diagram. Sketch the input and output wave form.
Answer:
Transistor as an amplifier:
A transistor operating in the active region has the capability to amplify weak signals. Amplification is the process of increasing the signal strength (increase in the amplitude). If a large amplification is required, the transistors are cascaded with coupling elements like resistors, capacitors, and transformers which is called as multistage amplifiers.

Here, the amplification of an electrical signal is explained with a single stage transistor amplifier as shown in figure (a). Single stage indicates that the circuit consists of one transistor with the allied components. An NPN transistor is connected in the common emitter configuration.

To start with, the Q point or the operating point of the transistor is fixed so as to get the maximum signal swing at the output (neither towards saturation point nor towards cut-off). A load resistance, R_c is connected in series with the collector circuit to measure the output voltage. The capacitor C₁ allows only the ac signal to pass through. The emitter bypass capacitor CE provides a low reactance path to the amplified ac signal. The coupling capacitor C_c is used to couple one stage of the amplifier with the next stage while constructing multistage amplifiers. V_s is the sinusoidal input signal source applied across the base-emitter. The output is taken across the collector-emitter.

Applying Kirchhoff ’s voltage law in the output loop, the collector-emitter voltage is given by
V_CE = V_CC – I_C R_C

Working of the amplifier:
During the positive half cycle
Input signal (V_s) increases the forward voltage across the emitter-base. As a result, the base current (I_B) increases. Consequently, the collector current (I_C) increases p times. This increases the voltage drop across R_C which in mm decreases the collector-emitter voltage (V_CE). Therefore, the input signal in the positive direction produces an amplified signal in the negative direction at the output. Hence, the output signal is reversed by 180° as shown in figure (b).

During the negative half cycle
Input signal (V_s) decreases the forward voltage across the emitter-base. As a result, base current (I_B) decreases and in turn increases the collector current (I_C). The increase in collector current (I_C) decreases the potential drop across R_c and increases the collector-emitter voltage ( V_CE). Thus, the input signal in the negative direction produces an amplified signal in the positive direction at the output. Therefore, 180° phase reversal is observed during the negative half cycle of the input signal.

Question 38.
(b) Explain the three modes of propagation of electromagnetic waves through space.
Answer:
Propagation of electromagnetic waves:
The electromagnetic wave transmitted by the transmitter travels in three different modes to reach the receiver according to its frequency range:
1. Ground wave propagation (or) surface wave propagation (nearly 2 kHz to 2 MHz)
2. Sky wave propagation (or) ionospheric propagation (nearly 3 MHz to 30 MHz)
3. Space wave propagation (nearly 30 MHz to 400 GHz)

1. Ground wave propagation:
If the electromagnetic waves transmitted by the transmitter glide over the surface of the earth to reach the receiver, then the propagation is called ground wave propagation. The corresponding waves are called ground waves or surface waves.

Both transmitting and receiving antennas must be close to the earth. The size of the antenna plays a major role in deciding the efficiency of the radiation of signals. During transmission, the electrical signals are attenuated over a distance. Some reasons for attenuation are as follows:

Increasing distance: The attenuation of the signal depends on

• power of the transmitter
• frequency of the transmitter, and
• condition of the earth surface.

Absorption of energy by the Earth: When the transmitted signal in the form of EM wave is in contact with the Earth, it induces charges in the Earth and constitutes a current. Due to this, the earth behaves like a leaky capacitor which leads to the attenuation of the wave.

Tilting of the wave: As the wave progresses, the wavefront starts gradually tilting according to the curvature of the Earth. This increase in the ti It decreases the electric field strength of the wave. Finally, at some distance, the surface wave dies out due to energy loss.

The frequency of the ground waves is mostly less than 2 MHz as high frequency waves undergo more absorption of energy at the earth’s atmosphere. The medium wave signals received during the day time use surface wave propagation.

It is mainly used in local broadcasting, radio navigation, for ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore communication and mobile communication.

2. Sky Wave Propagation:
The mode of propagation in which the electromagnetic waves radiated from an antenna, directed upwards at large angles gets reflected by the ionosphere back to earth is called sky wave propagation or ionospheric propagation. The corresponding waves are called sky waves.

The frequency range of EM waves in this mode of propagation is 3 to 30 MHz. EM waves of frequency more than 30 MHz can easily penetrate through the ionosphere and does not undergo reflection. It is used for short wave broadcast services. Medium and high frequencies are for long-distance radio communication. Extremely long distance communication is also possible as the radio waves can undergo multiple reflections between the earth and the ionosphere. A single reflection helps the radio waves to travel a distance of approximately 4000 km.

Ionosphere acts as a reflecting surface. It is at a distance of approximately 50 km and spreads up to 400 km above the Earth surface. Due to the absorption of ultraviolet rays, cosmic ray, and other high energy radiations like a, p rays from sun, the air molecules in the ionosphere get ionized. This produces charged ions and these ions provide a reflecting medium for the reflection of radio waves or communication waves back to earth within the permitted frequency range. The phenomenon of bending the radio waves back to earth is nothing but the total internal reflection.

3. Space wave propagation:
The process of sending and receiving information signal through space is called space wave communication. The electromagnetic waves of very high frequencies above 30 MHz are called as space waves. These waves travel in a straight line from the transmitter to the receiver. Hence, it is used for a line of sight communication (LOS).

For high frequencies, the transmission towers must be high enough so that the transmitted and received signals (direct waves) will not encounter the curvature of the earth and hence travel with less attenuation and loss of signal strength. Certain waves reach the receiver after getting reflected from the ground.

Question 26.
Discuss the uses of phosphine.
Answer:
Phosphine is used for producing smoke screen as it gives large smoke. In a ship, a pierced . container with a mixture of calcium carbide and calcium phosphide, liberates phosphine and acetylene when thrown into sea. The liberated phosphine catches fire and ignites acetylene. These burning gases serves as a signal to the approaching ships. This is known as Holmes signal.

Question 27.
Calculate the percentage efficiency of packing in case of body centered cubic crystal.
Answer:
Packing efficiency : In body centered cubic arrangement the spheres are touching along the leading diagonal of the cube as shown in the figure.
In ∆ABC,
AC² = AB² + BC²
In∆ACG,
AG² = AC² + CG²

∴ Volume of the sphere with radius ‘r’


Number of spheres belong to a unit cell in bec arrangement is equal to two and hence the total volume of all spheres.

i. e., 68% of the available volume is occupied.The available space is used more efficiently than in simple cubic packing.

Question 28.
H₃BO₃ accepts hydroxide ion from water as shown below
H₃BO₃ (aq) + H₂O((l) ⇌ B(OH)₄^– + H⁺
Predict the nature of H₃BO₃ using Lewis concept.
Answer:
Boric acid is also called as hydrogen borate or orthoboric acid. It is a weak mono basic Lewis acid of boron and it is written as B(OH)₃ It accepts hydroxyl (OH^–) ion from water. It does not dissociate to give hydronium (H₃O⁺) ion rather forms metaborate ion and this ions in turn give H₃O⁺ ion.
B(OH)₃ + H₂O ⇌ [B(OH)₄]^– + H₃O⁺
Hence it is considered as weak acid.

Question 29.
Explain graphical representation of chemical adsorption and physical adsorption.
Answer:
(i) Adsorption isotherms represents the variation of adsorption at constant temperature.
(ii) When amount of adsorption is plotted versus temperature at constant pressure is called adsorption isobar

(iii) In physical adsorption x/m decreases with increase in T. But in chemical adsorption x/m increases with rise in temperature and then decreases. The increase illustrate the requirement of activation of the surface for adsorption is due to the fact that formation of activated complex require certain energy. The decrease at high temperature is due to desorption, as the kinetic energy of the adsorbate increases.

Answer:
(i) Procaine

(ii) Lidocaine

Question 33.
Explain the variation in E⁰_M3+/M2+ 3d series.
Answer:
1. In transition series, as we move down from Ti to Zn, the standard reduction potential \(\mathbf{E}^{0} \mathrm{M}^{2+} / \mathrm{M}^{3+}\) value is approaching towards less negative value and copper has a positive reduction potential, i.e. elemental copper is more stable than Cu²⁺ .

2. \(\mathrm{E}^{0} \mathrm{m}^{2+} / \mathrm{M}\) value for manganese and zinc are more negative than regular trend. It is due to extra stability arises due to the half filled d⁵ configuration in Mn²⁺ and completely filled d¹⁰ configuration in Zn²⁺.

3. The standard electrode potential for the M³⁺ / M²⁺ half cell gives the relative stability between M³⁺ and M²⁺.

4. The high reduction potential of Mn³⁺ / Mn²⁺ indicates Mn²⁺ is more stable than Mn³⁺.

5. For Fe³⁺ /Fe²⁺ the reductionpotential is 0.77V, and this low value indicates that both Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺ can exist under normal condition.

6. Mn³⁺ has a 3d⁴ configuration while that of Mn²⁺ is 3d⁵. The extra stability associated with a half filled d sub-shell makes the reduction of Mn very feasible [E⁰ = +1.51 V]

Question 34.
(a) (i) Describe a method for refining nickel. (3)
(ii) Why group 18 elements are called inert gases?-Write the general electronic configuration of group 18 elements. (2)
[OR]
(b) (i) Give the uses of helium. (3)
(ii) Ni (II) compounds are more stable than Pt (II) compounds. Give reason. (2)
Answer:
(a) (i) The impure nickel is heated in a stream of carbon monoxide at around 350 K. The nickel
reacts with the CO to form a highly volatile nickel tetracarbonyl. The solid impurities ‘ . are left behind.
Ni (s) + 4 CO (g) → Ni(CO)₄ (g)
On heating the nickel tetracarbonyl around 460 K, the complex decomposes to give pure metal
Ni(CO)₄(g) → Ni(s) + 4 CO (g)

(ii) The elements of group-18 have completely filled s and p orbitals, hence they are more stable and have least reactivity. Therefore group-18 elements are called inert gases. ns2np6 is the general electronic configuration of group 18 elements.

[OR]

(b) (i) Uses of helium.

• Helium and oxygen mixture is used by divers in place of air oxygen mixture. This prevents the painful dangerous condition called bends.
• Helium is used to provide inert atmosphere in electric arc welding of metals
• Helium has lowest boiling point hence used in cryogenics (low temperature science).
• It is much less denser than air and hence used for filling air balloons

(ii) The ionisation enthalpy values can be used to predict the thermodynamic stability of their compounds.
For Nickel, I.E₁ + I.E₂ = 737 + 1753
= 2490 kJ mol-1
For Platinum, I.E₁ +I.E₂ = 864+ 1791
= 2655 kJ mol-1
Since, the energy required to form Ni²⁺ is less than that of Pt²⁺ , Ni(II) compounds are thermodynamically more stable than Pt(II) compounds.

Question 35.
(a) (i) Arrange the following in order of increasing molar conductivity (3)
1. Mg[Cr(NH₃)(Cl)₅] . 2.[Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]₃ [COF₆]₂ 3. [Cr(NH₃)₃Cl₃]
(ii) Silicon carbide is very hard. Justify this statement. (2)
[OR]
(b) (i) Write the rate law for the following reactions: (a) A reaction that is 3/2 order in x and zero order in y. (A) A reaction that is second order in NO and first order in Br₂. (3)
(ii) Classify the following species into Lewis acids and Lewis bases and show how these can act as Lewis acid / Lewis base? (2)
(a) OH^– ions (A) F^– (c) H⁺ (d) BCl₃
Answer:
(a) (i) These complexes can ionise in solution as:
Mg[Cr(NH₃)(Cl)₅] = Mg²⁺ + [Cr(NH₃)(Cl)₅]^2-
[Cr(NH₃ )₅Cl]₃ [COF₆]₂ = [Cr(NH₃)₅₆Cl]²⁺ + [COF₆]^3-
[Cr(NH₃)₃Cl₃] = does not ionize

As the number of ions in solution increases, their molar conductivity also increases.
Therefore, conductivity follows the order:
[Cr(NH₃)₃Cl₃] < [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]₃ [COF < Mg[Cr(NH₃)(Cl)₅]

(ii) Silicon carbide is very hard. It is a covalent solid contains the atoms which are bound together in a three dimensional network entirely by covalent bonds. So the covalent network crystal siC is very hard and have high melting point.

[OR]

(b) (i)

(ii) (a) OH^– ions can donate an electron pair and act as Lewis base.
(b) F^– ions can donate an electron pair and act as Lewis base.
(c) H⁺ ions can accept an electron pair and act as Lewis base. .
(d) BCl₃ can accept an electron pair since Boron atom is electron deficient. It is a Lewis acid.

Question 36.
(a) (z) Calculate pH of 10^-7 MHCl. (3)
(ii) Define corrosion. Give one example. (2)
[OR]
(b) What is adsorption isotherm? Explain about Freundlich adsorption isotherm. (5)
Answer:
(a) (z) If we do not consider [H₃O⁺ ] from the ionisation of H₂O, then [H₃O⁺ ] = [HCl] = 10^-7 M i.e., pH = 7, which is a pH of a neutral solution. We know that HCl solution is acidic whatever may be the concentration of HCl i.e, the pH value should be less than 7. In this case the concentration of the acid is very low (10^-7 M). Hence, the H₃O⁺ (10^-7 M) formed due to the auto ionisation of water cannot be neglected.
So, in this case we should consider [H₃O⁺ ] from ionisation of H₂ O
[H₃O⁺ ] = 10^-7 (from HCl) + 10^-7 (from water)
= 10^-7 (1+1)
= 2 x 10^-7
pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺]
= log₁₀ (2 x 10^-7 )=—[log 2 + log10^-7 ]
= – log 2 -(-7). 1og₁₀¹⁰
= 7 – log 2
= 7 – 0.3010 = 6.6990
= 6.70

(ii) The redox process which causes the deterioration of metal is called corrosion.
Rusting of iron is an example of corrosion. It is an electro chemical process.

[OR]

(b) i. Adsorption isotherms represents the variation of adsorption at constant temperature. Adsorption isotherm can be studied quantitatively. ii. A plot between the amount of adsorbate adsorbed and pressure or concentration of adsorbate at constant temperature is called adsorption isotherms.

ii. Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
According to Freundlich \(\frac{\mathbf{x}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{k} \mathrm{P}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\)
Where x is the amount of adsorbate (or) adsorbed on ‘m’ gm of adsorbent at a pressure of R k and n are constants. Value of ‘n’ is always less than unity.

iv. This equation is applicable for adsorption of gases on solid surfaces. The Same equation becomes \(\frac{\mathbf{x}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{k} \mathrm{P}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\) kc when used for adsorption in solutions with ‘c’ as concentration.

v. These equation quantitatively predict the effect of pressure (or concentration) on the adsorption of gases (or adsorbates) at constant temperature.

vi. Taking log on both sides of equation

vii. Hence the intercept represents the value of log k and the slope \(\frac{b}{q}\) gives \(\frac{1}{n}\)

viii. This equation explains the increase of \(\frac{x}{m}\)with increase in pressure. But experimental values shows the deviation at low pressure.

ix. Limitations:
(a) This equation is purely empirical and valid over a limited pressure range.
(b) The value of k and n also found vary with temperatures. No theoretical explanations were given.

Question 37.
(a) An organic compound (A) of molecular formula C₆H₆O gives white precipitate with bromine water. (A) on reaction with NaOH gives (B). (B) reacts with methyl iodide in presence of dry ether gives (C) of molecular formula C₇H_/8O which will not liberate H2 gas with metallic Na. (C) on reaction with acetyl chloride gives (D) and (E) of formula which are position isomers. Identify A, B, C, D & E and explain the reaction. (5)

[OR]

(A) (i) What happens when n-propyl benzene is oxidised using H⁺ / KMnO₄?(2)
(ii) Identify A, B ,and C.

Answer:
1. An organic compound gives white precipitate with bromine water means it must be a phenol. From the molecular formula it is identified as C₆H₅OH.

2. Phenol on reaction with NaOH gives (B) as sodium phenoxide C₆H₅ONa.

3. Sodium phenoxide on reaction with methyl iodide in the pressure of dry ether undergo Williamsons synthesis and gives Anisole as (C).

PART – IV
IV. Answer The Following Questions

Question 1.
Explain the different types of data model?
Answer:
Types of Data Model
Following are the different types of a Data Model

1. Hierarchical Model
2. Relational Model
3. Network Database Model
4. Entity Relationship Model
5. Object Model

1. Hierarchical Model
Hierarchical model was developed by IBM as Information Management System.
In Hierarchical model, data is represented as a simple tree like structure form. This model represents a one-to-many relationship i.e. parent-child relationship. One child can have only one parent but one parent can have many children. This model is mainly used in IBM Main Frame computers.

2. Relational Model
The Relational Database model was first proposed by E.F. Codd in 1970 . Nowadays, it is the most widespread data model used for database applications around the world.
The basic structure of data in relational model is tables (relations). All the information’s related to a particular type is stored in rows of that table. Hence tables are also known as relations in a relational model. A relation key is an attribute which uniquely identifies a particular tuple (row in a relation (table)).

3. Network Model
Network database model is an extended form of hierarchical data model. The difference between hierarchical and-Network data model is :

1. In hierarchical model, a child record has only one parent node,
2. In a Network model, a child may have many parent nodes. It represents the data in many-to-many relationships.
3. This model is easier and faster to access the data.

School represents the parent node
Library, Office and Staff room is a child to school (parent node)
Student is a child to library, office and staff room (one to many relationship)

4. Entity Relationship Model. (ER model)
In this database model, relationship are created by dividing the object into entity and its characteristics into attributes.
It was developed by Chen in 1976. This model is useful in developing a conceptual design for the database. It is very simple and easy to design logical view of data. The developer can easily understand the system by looking at ER Model constructed. Rectangle represents the entities. E.g. Doctor and Patient

Ellipse represents the attributes E.g. D-id, D-name, P-id, P-name. Attributes describes the characteristics and each entity becomes a major part of the data stored in the database. Diamond represents the relationship in ER diagrams E.g. Doctor diagnosis the Patient

5. Object Model
Object model stores the data in the form of objects, attributes and methods, classes and Inheritance. This model handles more complex applications, such as Geographic information System (GIS), scientific experiments, engineering design and manufacturing. It is used in file Management System. It represents real world objects, attributes and behaviors. It provides a clear modular structure. It is easy to maintain and modify the existing code.

Question 2.
Explain the different types of relationship mapping?
Answer:
Types of Relationships:
Following are the types of relationships used in a database.

1. One-to-One Relationship
2. One-to-Many Relationship
3. Many-to-One Relationship
4. Many-to-Many Relationship

1. One-to-One Relationship
In One-to-One Relationship, one entity is related with only one other entity. One row in a table is linked with only one row in another table and vice versa.
For example: A student can have only one exam number.

2. One-to-Many Relationship
In One-to-Many relationship, one entity is related to many other entities. One row in a table A is linked to many rows in a table B, but one row in a table B is linked to only one row in table A. For example: One Department has many staff members.

3. Many-to-One Relationship
In Many-to-One Relationship, many entities can be related with only one in the other entity. For example: A number of staff members working in one Department. Multiple rows in staff members table is related with only one row in Department table.

4. Many-to-Many Relationship
Amany-to-many relationship occurs when multiple records in a table are associated with multiple records in another table.

Example 1: Customers and Product:
Customers can purchase various products and Products can be purchased by many customers

Example 2: Students and Courses:
A student can register for many Courses and a Course may include many students

Example 3: Books and Student:
Many Books in students.

Question 3.

Answer:

Question 4.
Explain the different operators in Relational algebra with suitable examples?
Answer:
Relational Algebra Operations from Set Theory

1. UNION (∪)
2. INTERSECTION (∩)
3. DIFFERENCE (-)
4. CARTESIAN PRODUCT (X)

SELECT (symbol: σ)
General form σ_c ( R) with a relation R and a condition C on the attributes of R.
The SELECT operation is used for selecting a subset with tuples according to a given condition. Select filters out all tuples that do not satisfy C.

PROJECT (symbol : II)
The projection eliminates all attributes of the input relation but those mentioned in the projection list.
Example 1 using Table A
π_course (STUDENT)
Result

Course Big Data R language PythonProgramming
Note: duplicate row is removed in the result UNION (Symbol :u)
It includes all tuples that are in tables A or in B. It also eliminates duplicates. Set A Union Set B would be expressed asAuB

Example 2:
Consider the following tables

Result

SET DIFFERENCE ( Symbol: -)
The result of A – B, is a relation which includes all tuples that are in A but not in B. The attribute name of A has to match with the attribute name in B.

Example 4:
( using Table B)
Result

INTERSECTION (symbol: ∩) A∩B
Defines a relation consisting of a set of all tuple that are in both in A and B. However, A and B must be union-compatible

Example 5:
(using Table B)

PRODUCT OR CARTESIAN PRODUCT (Symbol: X)
Cross product is a way of combining two relations. The resulting relation contains, both relations being combined.
A × B means A times B, where the relation A and B have different attributes.
This type of operation is helpful to merge columns from two relations.

Cartesian product : Table A × Table B
