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 solutionsof 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 equivalent conductance of a solution does not vary linearly with
concentration and it is related with specific conductance. The effect of equivalent
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.

(a) What is meant by ‘limiting molar conductivity’?

(b) How specific conductance varies with concentration?
(c) Solutions of two electrolytes 'A' and 'B' are diluted to same extent. It has been

calculate the limiting molar conductivity of H2O .
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.
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.
