Past JEE Questions Introduction

A structure is created to post past JEE questions chapterwise for easy reference.

Candidates need to develop deep understanding of the concepts and procedures covered in the texts and then develop the ability to apply those concepts and procedures to the types of problems and questions posed in JEE examinations.

So candidates have to keep the textbook knowledge on right and JEE questions on left and keep turning the head in both directions repeatedly so that they are adequately prepared for facing the actual JEE examination.

Past JEE Questions Ch.1

JEE Question 2007 paper I Linked Comprehension




Chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of atoms/molecules (approximately 6.023 ×10^23 ) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently, the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry, biochemistry electrochemistry and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case, involving
chemical/electrochemical reaction, which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept.

A 4.0 molar aqueous solution NaCl is prepared and 500 mL of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of the electrodes (atomic mass : Na = 23, Hg = 200;1 Faraday = 96500 coulombs).

1. The total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved is
(A) 0.5
(B) 1.0
(C) 2.0
(D) 3.0

Answer: B


2. If the cathode is a Hg electrode, the maximum weight (g) of amalgam formed from this solution is

(A) 200
(B) 225
(C) 400
(D) 446

Answer: D

In presence of Hg cathode sodium ion will discharge in place of hydrogen gas due to over voltage in the form of amalgams.

Weight of amalgam = 2 × (23 + 200) = 446 g

3. The total charge (coulombs) required for compete electrolysis is

(A) 24125
(B) 48250
(C) 96500
(D) 193000

Answer: D

Total charge = 2 × 96500 = 193000 C

This question is better answered after studying the electro chemistry chapter.

(C) 5
(D) 6

Answer D

From Compounds of metals chapter
Mohr's salt is a double salt. FeSO-4.(NH-4)-2SO-4.6H-2O
It is obtained by mixing freshly prepared ferrous sulphate in solution with equal molar amounts of ammonium sulphate and then allow the solution to crystallize.

(A) ∆G=0,∆S= + ve
(B)∆G=0,∆S= -ve
(C)∆G=+ve,∆S=0
(D)∆G=-ve, ∆S= + ve

Solution: A


The answer is A because, because at 100 degree C, the steam and water mixture is at equilibrium. Hence ΔG = 0(G = H - TS), and ΔS is positive. Why? when liquid becomes gas, there is more disorder. More entropy.

Past JEE Questions Ch.7 CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA

JEE Question 2007 Paper II

23. Consider a reaction aG+bH--> Products. When concentration of both the reactants G and H is doubled, the rate increases by eight times. However, when concentration of G is doubled keeping the concentration of H fixed, the rate is doubled. The overall order of the reaction is
(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 3

Solution: D

This is a question of chapter chemical kinetics.
Reason: When G alone is doubled, rate is doubled. That is the exponent of [G] is one in rate law. When both are doubled, rate increases by 8 times, telling us that exponent of [H] is 2 in rate law. So overall order of reaction is sum of the two exponents that is 3.

Past JEE Questions Ch.9 SOLUTIONS

JEE Question 2007 paper I

When 20 g of naphthoic acid (C-11H-8O-2) is dissolved in 50 g of benzene (K-f = 1.72 K kg mol^-1), a freezing point depression of 2 K is observed. The van’t Hoff factor (i) is


(A) 0.5
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 3

Answer: A

Van't Hoff factor = Normal Molar Mass/Observed Molar mass

Observed Molar Mass M-B = K-f*1000*W-B/(W-A*ΔT-f)

K-f = Molal depression constant
W-A = weight of solvent
W-B = weight of solute
ΔT-f = depression in freezing point.

In the problem Normal Molar mass = 172
Observe molar mass = 1.72*1000*20/50*2 = 17.2*20 = 172*2

Van't Hoff factor =172/172*2 = 0.5

JEE Question 2007 Paper I Linked Comprehension

The noble gases have closed-shell electronic configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of the lighter noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other interatomic interactions. The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers +2, +4 and + 6. 4 XeF reacts violently with water to give XeO-3 . The compounds of xenon exhibit rich stereochemistry and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electron pairs in
the valence shell.

Blog Status 7-12-2007

I am only posting basic questions that help in clarifying basics of the topic.After I complete posting basic questions in all the chapters and posting answers to them, I shall attempt more varieties. As this blog posting is part of my effort to provide limited help to a person with a formal coaching with professional faculty, the pressure on me is limited and I take up activity only when I find some time.

Elimination reactions

Material relevant to main material blog

1. When heated with H-2SO-4, 2 degree alcohols undergo dehydration via an E1 mechanism.
The major product is the tri-substituted alkene, methylcyclohexene

2. When heated with strong bases such as NaOEt, alkyl bromides undergo E2 elimination.
The outcome of E2 reactions is dependent on the antiperiplanar arrangement of the C-H and C-LG bonds. For substituted cyclohexanes this requires that the LG be axial.
For the cis-isomer with the -Br axial, the more highly susbtituted alkene can be formed by removal of the H adjacent to the methyl group.
For the trans-isomer, when the -Br is axial the methyl group is also axial. Therefore the elimination must occur from the C3-H bond giving the anti-Zaitsev product.

The reactive conformation is an unfavourable diaxial conformer, therefore the reaction will be slower than that of the cis-isomer.

3. The lowest energy conformation of menthyl chloride has the chlorine atom in a equatorial postion.
In this position there is no antiperiplanar H , ring flip is difficult as it would require to formation of a triaxial conformer.
In contrast, in neomenthyl chloride, the lowest energy confromation has the chlorine atom axial with 2 H in the correct orientation to give the products. The major product is the more highly substituted alkene.
