the presence of five –OH groups. Since it exists as a stable compound, five –OH groups +
should be attached to different carbon atoms (1)

28 (a) The major product formed when 2-cyclohexylchloroethane undergoes (1)
dehydrohalogenation reaction is 1- cyclohexylethene. (1)
(b) Haloalkanes are more reactive than haloarenes because of the presence of partial double (1)
bond character C-X bond in haloarenes Hence do not undergo nucleophilic reactions easily.

OR Correct Reasons (1)
(c) The various quantities known to us are as follows: Π = 2.57 × 10–3 bar, (1)
V = 200 cm3 = 0.200 litre | T = 300 K | R = 0.083 L bar mol-1 K-1
Substituting these values in equation we get
M2= w2RT/ Π V
 M2 =1 .26 g × 0.083 L bar mol-1 K-1× 300 K / 2.57×10 -3 bar × 0.200 L
= 61,022 g mol-1

30 (a) sucrose do not have free aldehyde group. (1)

(b) Sucrose is dextrorotatory but after hydrolysis gives dextrorotatory glucose and (1)
laevorotatory fructose. Since the laevorotation of fructose (–92.4°) is more than (1)
dextrorotation of glucose (+ 52.5°), the mixture is laevorotatory. Thus, hydrolysis of sucrose (1)
brings about a change in the sign of rotation, from dextro (+) to laevo (–) and the product is
named as invert sugar
(c) When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical change like change in
temperature or chemical change like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed. Due to
this, globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is
called denaturation of protein.

OR

The D-L system corresponds to the configuration of the molecule: spatial arrangement of its
atoms around the chirality center.plus minus indicate dextro and laevo.

31 (a) (i) Cu+1(3d10) compounds are white because of absence of unpaired (1)

(ii) due to completely filled d-orbitals in their ground state as well as in oxidized state. (1)
(1)
(b) (i) Sc+3, because of absence of unpaired electron.
