SECTION – D
The following questions are case-based. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the
questions that follow.
Answer the following questions:
29. The conductivity or specific conductivity of an electrolytic solution varies with the
concentration of the solutions of different electrolytes. For comparing the conductances
of the solutions of different electrolytes, it is essential that the solutions should have
equal volumes and they must contain definite amount of the electrolytes which give
ions carrying the same total charge. The conducting power of an electrolytic solution
can be expressed in terms of equivalent conductance and molar conductance. The effect
of molar conductance can be studied by plotting values against the square root of the
concentration. Following two figures show the behaviour of strong and weak
electrolytes with change of concentration.

questions that follow.
30. The transition metals are normally hard and have low volatility. Their melting and
boiling points are high. The high melting points of these metals are attributed to the
involvement of greater number of electrons from (n-1)d in addition to the ns electrons
in the interatomic metallic bonding. In any row the melting points of these metals rise
to a maximum at d5 except for anomalous values of Mn and Tc and fall regularly as the
atomic number increases. They have high enthalpies of atomisation which are shown in
Figure given below.
