2 marks
Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation:
The total enthalpy change for a reaction is the same regardless of whether the reaction takes place in one step or in multiple steps. It depends only on the initial and final states.
हेस का नियम: किसी रासायनिक अभिक्रिया में कुल एन्थैल्पी परिवर्तन, अभिक्रिया चाहे एक पद में हो या अनेक पदों में, सदा स्थिर रहती है।
Example / उदाहरण:

Q.19
Markovnikov's Rule — definition + example.
2 marks
Markovnikov's Rule:
In the addition of an unsymmetrical reagent (like HBr) to an unsymmetrical alkene, the hydrogen atom adds to the carbon that already bears more hydrogen atoms (more substituted H goes to carbon with more H — "rich gets richer").
नियम: असममित अभिकर्मक का H परमाणु उस कार्बन से जुड़ता है जिस पर पहले से अधिक H परमाणु हों।
Example:
CH₃–CH=CH₂ + HBr →
CH₃–CH(Br)–CH₃ (2-Bromopropane — MAJOR ✓)
CH₃–CH₂–CH₂Br (1-Bromopropane — minor)
Reason: H⁺ attacks C1 (more H), forming more stable 2° carbocation at C2; then Br⁻ attacks C2.

Ionisation of Water:
Water undergoes self-ionisation (autoprotolysis):
जल स्वयं आयनित होता है — यह अम्ल व क्षार दोनों की भूमिका निभाता है (उभयधर्मी)।
Water undergoes self-ionisation (autoprotolysis):
H₂O + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
or simply: H₂O ⇌ H⁺ + OH⁻जल स्वयं आयनित होता है — यह अम्ल व क्षार दोनों की भूमिका निभाता है (उभयधर्मी)।
Ionic Product (Kw):
Pure water: [H⁺] = [OH⁻] = 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ → pH = 7 (neutral)
Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻]
At 25°C: Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ mol² L⁻²Pure water: [H⁺] = [OH⁻] = 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ → pH = 7 (neutral)
Effect of Temperature:
Ionisation of water is endothermic. Increasing temperature shifts equilibrium forward → Kw increases.
At 60°C: Kw ≈ 10⁻¹³ (greater than 10⁻¹⁴). Water remains neutral (pH decreases but [H⁺] = [OH⁻] always).
ताप बढ़ने पर Kw बढ़ता है, परन्तु जल सदा उदासीन रहता है।

Electrophilic substitution in benzene + mechanism of nitration.

In benzene, the π-electron cloud acts as an electron donor attacking an electrophile. The H is replaced (substituted), not the π-system. Aromaticity is maintained in the product.
Step 1 — Generation of electrophile (NO₂⁺):
HNO₃ + H₂SO₄ → NO₂⁺ + HSO₄⁻ + H₂O
NO₂⁺ (nitronium ion) is the actual electrophile.
Step 2 — Attack of NO₂⁺ on benzene π-cloud:
C₆H₆ + NO₂⁺ → [C₆H₆·NO₂]⁺ (σ-complex / Wheland intermediate / Arenium ion)
Aromaticity is temporarily disrupted. This is the rate-determining step.
C₆H₆ + NO₂⁺ → [C₆H₆·NO₂]⁺ (σ-complex / Wheland intermediate / Arenium ion)
Aromaticity is temporarily disrupted. This is the rate-determining step.
Step 3 — Loss of H⁺ (Aromaticity restored):
[C₆H₆·NO₂]⁺ → C₆H₅NO₂ + H⁺
[C₆H₆·NO₂]⁺ → C₆H₅NO₂ + H⁺
C₆H₆ + HNO₃ —(H₂SO₄, 55°C)→ C₆H₅NO₂ + H₂O

Q.28
N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ at 500°C, Kc = 0.061 → Calculate Kp
3 marks
Find Δn:
Δn = moles of gaseous products − moles of gaseous reactants
= 2 − (1 + 3) = 2 − 4 = −2
Δn = moles of gaseous products − moles of gaseous reactants
= 2 − (1 + 3) = 2 − 4 = −2
Convert Temperature to Kelvin:
T = 500 + 273 = 773 K
⚠️ Always use Kelvin — never Celsius in Kp/Kc calculations!
Apply formula:
RT = 0.0821 × 773 = 63.46
(RT)−2 = 1 / (63.46)² = 1 / 4027.2 = 2.483 × 10⁻⁴
Kp = 0.061 × 2.483 × 10⁻⁴ = 1.51 × 10⁻⁵
Kp = Kc × (RT)Δn
Using R = 0.0821 L·atm mol⁻¹K⁻¹:RT = 0.0821 × 773 = 63.46
(RT)−2 = 1 / (63.46)² = 1 / 4027.2 = 2.483 × 10⁻⁴
Kp = 0.061 × 2.483 × 10⁻⁴ = 1.51 × 10⁻⁵
Final Answer: Kp ≈ 1.51 × 10⁻⁵ atm⁻² | Kp < Kc because Δn < 0 (fewer moles of gas in products)
1 mark — Δn correctly calculated (−2)
1 mark — T converted to 773 K

Q.29(a)
First Law of Thermodynamics + Derive ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT + Calculate ΔH
5 marks
1. First Law of Thermodynamics:
"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The total energy of an isolated system remains constant."
Mathematically: ΔU = q + w
where q = heat absorbed by system, w = work done on system (w = −PΔV for expansion).
2. Derivation of ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT:
At constant pressure: H = U + PV
ΔH = ΔU + Δ(PV) = ΔU + Δ(nRT) [using ideal gas: PV = nRT]
= ΔU + (Δn)RT
where Δn = nproducts(g) − nreactants(g)
3. Numerical Calculation:
Given: ΔU = −742 kJ, Δn = −2, T = 300 K
R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹K⁻¹ = 8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ mol⁻¹K⁻¹
ΔnRT = (−2) × 8.314 × 10⁻³ × 300 = −4.988 kJ
"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The total energy of an isolated system remains constant."
Mathematically: ΔU = q + w
where q = heat absorbed by system, w = work done on system (w = −PΔV for expansion).
2. Derivation of ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT:
At constant pressure: H = U + PV
ΔH = ΔU + Δ(PV) = ΔU + Δ(nRT) [using ideal gas: PV = nRT]
= ΔU + (Δn)RT
where Δn = nproducts(g) − nreactants(g)
ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT
3. Numerical Calculation:
Given: ΔU = −742 kJ, Δn = −2, T = 300 K
R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹K⁻¹ = 8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ mol⁻¹K⁻¹
ΔnRT = (−2) × 8.314 × 10⁻³ × 300 = −4.988 kJ
ΔH = −742 + (−4.988) = −746.988 ≈ −747 kJ
⚠️ Unit Tip: R given in J — always divide by 1000 to convert to kJ before adding to ΔU (kJ). Many students lose marks by adding 4988 J to −742 kJ directly!

HC≡CH + CuCl/NH₃ → CuC≡CCu↓ (copper acetylide — red ppt.)
(v) Polymerisation:
3HC≡CH → Benzene (C₆H₆) at 300°C / red hot iron tube (Trimerisation)
Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. Classified as: Alkanes (saturated), Alkenes (one C=C), Alkynes (one C≡C), Aromatic (benzene ring).
2. Alkynes — General formula: CnH2n−2
Nomenclature: Parent chain → longest containing C≡C → suffix "-yne". Number from end closest to triple bond.
Examples: HC≡CH = Ethyne; HC≡C–CH₃ = Prop-1-yne; CH₃–C≡C–CH₃ = But-2-yne
3. Methods of Preparation of Alkynes:
(i) From calcium carbide + water:
CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + HC≡CH ↑ (Ethyne)
(ii) Dehydrohalogenation of vicinal dihalides:CH₂Br–CH₂Br + 2KOH (alc.) → HC≡CH + 2KBr + 2H₂O
4. Reactions of Ethyne (HC≡CH):
(i) Addition of H₂ (Hydrogenation):
HC≡CH + H₂ → CH₂=CH₂ → CH₃–CH₃ (Lindlar's catalyst for partial)
(ii) Addition of Cl₂/Br₂:
HC≡CH + Cl₂ → CHCl=CHCl → CHCl₂–CHCl₂
(iii) Addition of HCl (Markovnikov):
HC≡CH + HCl → CH₂=CHCl → CH₃–CHCl₂
(iv) Acidic character (unique to terminal alkynes):
HC≡CH + Na → HC≡C⁻Na⁺ + ½H₂ (pKa ≈ 25)
HC≡CH + AgNO₃/NH₃ → AgC≡CAg↓ (silver acetylide — white ppt.)HC≡CH + CuCl/NH₃ → CuC≡CCu↓ (copper acetylide — red ppt.)
(v) Polymerisation:
3HC≡CH → Benzene (C₆H₆) at 300°C / red hot iron tube (Trimerisation)
