SECTION D
Q31. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
According to Arrehenius concept, acids give H+ ions while bases produce OH– ions in their aqueous
solutions. Bronsted-Lowry defined an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor. When a
Bronsted – Lowry acid reacts with a base, it produces its conjugate base and a conjugate acid
corresponding to the base with which it reacts. Thus, a conjugate base and a conjugate acid
corresponding to the base with which it reacts. Thus, a conjugate base and a conjugate acid
corresponding to the base with which it reacts. Thus, a conjugate pair of acid-base differs only by a
proton. The strength of acids and bases can be measured in terms of their dissociation constants Ka (or
pKa) and Kb (or pKb). Larger value of Ka or lower value of pKa corresponds to greater strength of
acids.
Similarly, larger value of Kb or lower value of pKb corresponds to stronger base. pH finds vital role
in cosmetic formulations and buffer solution is used in blood bank. According to Arrehenius concept,

Q32. In an organic reaction a covalent bond between two carbon atoms or a carbon and some other atom is
broken and a new bond is formed. A sequential account of each step, describing details of electron
movement, energetics during bond cleavage and bond formation, and the rates of transformation of
reactants into products kinetics) is referred to as reaction mechanism. A species having a carbon atom
possessing sextext of electrons and a positive charge is called a carbocation (earlier called carbonium
ion). The CH 3 ion is known as a methyl cation or methyl carbonium ion. Carbocations are classified
as primary, secondary or tertiary depending on whether one, two or three carbons are directly attached
to the positively charged carbon. Some other examples of carbocations are : CH 3CH 2 (ethyl cation, a
primary carbocation),  CH3 2 CH  (isopropyl cation, a secondary carbocation), and  CH3 3 C  (tert-

 butyl cation, a tertiary carbocation). Carbocations are highly unstable and reactive species. Alkyl
radiradicals are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Alkyl radical stability increases as we
proceed from primary to tertiary: Organic reactions, which proceed by homolytic fission are called
free radical or homopolar or nonpolar reactions.
