 SECTION- D

The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (2+1+1) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

29. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The rate of a reaction, which may also be called its velocity or speed, can be defined with relation to
the concentration of any of the reacting substances, or to that of any product of the reaction. If the
species chosen is a reactant which has a concentration c at time t the rate is - dc/dt, while the rate with
reference to a product having a concentration x at time t is dx/dt. Any concentration units may be used
for expressing the rate; thus, if moles per liter are employed for concentration and seconds for the time,
the units for the rate are moles litre 1sec 1. For gas reactions pressure units are sometimes used in place
of concentrations, so that legitimate units for the rate would be (mm. Hg) sec 1 and atm. sec 1 The
order of a reaction concerns the dependence of the rate upon the concentrations of reacting substances;
thus, if the rate is found experimentally to be proportional to the ath power of the concentration of one
of the reactants A, to the bth power of the concentration of a second reactant B, and so forth, via.,
rate = k CAa CAb the over-all order of the reaction is simply
n = a + b + ----- (2)
Such a reaction is said to be of the a th order with respect to the substance A, the b th order with
respect to B and so on...

(Laidler, K. J., & Glasstone, S. (1948). Rate, order and molecularity in chemical kinetics. Journal of
Chemical Education, 25(7), 383.)

b) For a reaction A + H2 [A]. What is the order of this reaction?

reduce to 3g?
OR
c) Predict the order of the reaction in the given plots:

Where [R]0 is the initial concentration of reactant.

30. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Benzene ring in aninline is highly activated. This is due to the sharing of lone pair of nitrogen with the
ring which results in increase in the electron density on the ring and hence facilitates the electrophilic
attack. The substitution mainly takes place at ortho and para positions because electron density is more
at ortho and para positions. On reaction with aqueous bromine all the ortho and para positions get
substituted resulting in the formation of 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. To get a monobromo compound, the
amino group is acetylated before bromination. After bromination, the bromoacetanilide is acid
hydrolysed to give the desired halogenated amine.
 a) Arrange the following in the increasing order of their pKb values:
C6H5NH2, C2H5NH2, C6H5NHCH3
