Section B
Choose the correct option
A)When both assertion(A)and reason(R) are correct and reason is a correct explanation of assertion.
B)When both assertion(A)and reason(R) are correct but reason is not a correct explanation of assertion
C).When assertion(A)is correct but reason(R) is wrong.
D)When both assertion(A) and reason(R) are wrong statement
E)When assertion is wrong but reason is correct.

11. Assertion: Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with temperature.

Reason: The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature
12. Assertion: If on mixing the two liquids, the solution becomes hot, it implies that it
shows negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
Reason: Solution which shows negative deviation from Raoult’s law are accompanied by decrease in
volume.
13. Assertion : Conductivity of all electrolytes decreases on dilution.
Reason : On dilution number of ions per unit volume decreases.
14.Assertion: Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional.
Reason: we cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.
15.Assertion: order and molecularity are same.
Reason: order is determined experimentally and molecularity is the sum of stoichiometric coefficient of
rate determining elementary step.
Section C
Read the given passage and answer the following questions in not more than one sentence.
Victor had a great interest in collecting different types of fishes. He had a wonderful aquarium with
different breeds of fishes. He used to feed them and nurture them. One day by mistake he filled in his
aquarium with warm water. He found his fishes suddenly started to sulk. He realized his mistake and
poured in cool water into aquarium.
16.Why fishes feel uncomfortable in warm water?
17. What is the significance of Henry's constant?
18.At the same temperature, H2 is more soluble in water than He. Which of the two has higher K H
value?
19. Why do mountain climbers suffer from anoxia?
20. How can bends be prevented?
