    Study Notes

    Exam Structure

    • Class: II Year PUC
    • Subject: Chemistry
    • Academic Year: 2024-25
    • Maximum Marks: 70
    • Duration: 3.00 Hours
    • Total Questions: 46

    Instructions

    • Question paper consists of five compulsory parts.
    • Marks distribution:
      • Part-A: 20 Marks (1 mark per question, 20 questions)
      • Part-B: 12 Marks (2 marks per question, 6 questions)
      • Part-C: 45 Marks (3 marks per question, 15 questions)
      • Part-D: 100 Marks (5 marks per question, 20 questions)
      • Part-E: 27 Marks (3 marks per question, 9 questions)
    • Only the first attempted answer in Part-A will be considered for marks.
    • Requires balanced chemical equations and neat diagrams/graphs where necessary.
    • Direct numerical answers without detailed calculations carry no marks.
    • Ensure the correct units are provided in numerical answers.
    • Log tables and simple calculators allowed; scientific calculators are prohibited.
    • Alternate questions available for visually impaired students, specifically for circuit diagrams/figures/graphs.

    Sample Questions from Part-A

    • Identify the role of CO2 in Kolbe’s reaction.
    • Determine the linkage between nitrogenous bases in DNA.
    • Analyze complex PtCl2.4NH3Br2 to identify its primary and secondary valences.
    • Evaluate the statements regarding enantiomers and racemic mixtures for correctness.
    • Identify the most stable manganese compound from the given options.

    Key Concepts

    • Enantiomers: Non-superimposable mirror images; racemic mixtures exhibit zero optical rotation.
    • Stability of Compounds: MnO2 is identified as the most stable manganese compound among the listed options.
    • Alkyl Benzenes: Certain alkyl benzenes do not yield benzoic acid upon oxidation with KMnO4.
    • Ambidentate Ligands: Defined as ligands that can bind through multiple atoms (e.g., CN^– and NO^+2).
    • Sacrificial Electrode: Metals such as Zn can act as sacrificial electrodes to protect iron from corrosion.

    Additional Topics

    • Chemical Names: Phosgene is identified as carbonyl chloride.
    • Vapor Pressure: Understanding mole fraction and its effect on vapor pressure lowering.
    • Radioactive Decay: Occurs predominantly via first-order kinetics.

    Matching Questions

    • Match glucocorticoids with their role in human biology (e.g., development of secondary female characteristics).
