SECTION-D

Directions (Q. No. 29-30) : The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

29. The stability of complex in solution refers to degree of association between the two species involved
in the state of equilibrium. The magnitude of the equilibrium constant (stability or formation) for the
association, quantitatively expresses the stability. If complex is formed in steps then the stepwise and
overall stability constant is related as follows—
β n = k1 # k2 # k3 # k 4 ...kn
The addition of four amine groups to copper shows a pattern found for most formation constants, in
which the successive stability constant decreases. The instability constant or the dissociation constant of
coordination compound is defined as reciprocal of formation constant β 4 .

for this complex β 4 = 2.0 # 1013 .

30. The vapour pressure of solvent is lowered by the presence of non-volatile solute and this lowering of
vapour pressure is governed by Raoult’s law, according to which ‘the relative lowering of vapour pressure
of the solvent over a solution is equal to mole fraction of solute present in the solution. However in a
binary solution if both components are volatile then another form of Raoult’s law is used. The partial
vapour pressure of each component is directly proportional to their mole fractions and p total = p 10 x1 + p 20 x2 .
Solutions which obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration are called ideal solutions. Two
types of deviations from Raoult’s law are observed, positive and negative by non-ideal solution depending
Page 6 Sample Paper 01 CBSE Chemistry Class 12

upon interaction between the components. Azeotropes are formed due to very large deviations from
Raoult’s law.
Read the passage and answer the following questions:
(a) What type of solution is formed by ethanol and water?
(b) What type of solution is formed by benzene and toluene?
(c) The vapour pressure of pure ‘A’ and ‘B’ are 450 mm and 700 mm Hg respectively at 350 K. What
