Ans. (1) 
Sol. A, B ? Freezing of water will decrease entropy as particles will move closer and forces of 
attraction will increase. This leads to decrease in randomness. So entropy decrease.   
 C ? No. of molecules decreasing  
 D ? Adsorption will lead to decrease in randomness of gaseous particles.

Ans. (3) 
Sol. For a negative sol, positive ion is required for flocculation. 
 Greater the valence  of the flocculating ion added, the greater is its power to cause 
precipitation. This is called Hardy-Schulz law. 
 So, Ba
+2
 has highest flocculating power.

(1) Carbocation A is more stable and formed relatively at faster rate 
(2) Carbocation B is more stable and formed relatively at faster rate 
(3) Carbocation A is more stable and formed relatively at slow rate 
 (4) Carbocation B is more stable and formed relatively at slow rate 
Ans. (2) 
Sol. B carbocation is more stable due to more hyperconjugation & it form relatively faster rate compared to A.
