2. Name the gas evolved when zinc reacts with dil. HCI.
Ans . Hydrogen gas Is evotved. HMES
3 . What Is a chemical equation ?
Ans . A chem ical equation is a symbolic notation that uses fonm ulae instead of words to represent
a ct-e m ica t equ ation.
6 . When carbon 0ioxide is passed through lime water. it turns milky, why?
Ans . Lime water (calCiu m hydroxide) combines with carbon dioxide to form a suspension
of calcium carbonate which m akes lime water m ilky .
Ca(OH)2(aq) + C02(0) ~ CaCO 31s) + H2Olll
7. A zinc ro<I Is left for nearty 20 minutes In a copper sulphate solution. What change
would you observe In zinc rod?
Ans . Zinc rod wil l change Into zinc sulphate.
9 . Identi ty the compoond oxidized In the foll owing reaction. H 2S fol + Cl2 ➔ Sis) + 2HCI fol
Ans . H2S Is oxldlzeo .
10 . What Is rust?
1 . An iron kn ife kept dipped in a blue copper sulphate solution turns the blue solut ion light green.
Why?
Ans . As we know iror is IT'0re reactive than copper . So. it displaces Cu from Cu SO4 solution and
form~ ferrovs sv1ph;ite whit h i~ of Light Green Coloyr. CvSQ4 (;i q) + Fe (s)- FeSQ4 (;iq) + Cv(s)
Blue colour light green colour
2 . A copper coin is kept in a solution of silver nitrate for some time. What will happen 10 the coin
and th e colour of the s01 ut1on ?
Ans: We know that copper Is more reactive tt>an silver . so it will disp lace silver from Its salt
solution : Cu (s) + 2AgN0 3(aq) -Cu (NO3)2(aQ ) + 2Ag(s) So the solution will tum b lue due to the
formation of copper nitrate
For example ,
I) When aq ueous solution of sod iu m sulphate Is mixed with the aqueous solution or barium
chloride. bariu m sulphate comes In the form of white precipitate
Na2SO4 (aq )+ BaCl2(aq) - BaSO4 ( i )+2NaCl(aq)
1 1 Zlfl CHANDIGARH
ii) When aqueous solution of sodium chloride is m ixed wit h the aqu eous solution of sliver nitrate.
silver chloride comes in the form of white precipitate.
4 . w~at Is lime-water test for the detect ion of carbon dio xide?
Ans. When carbon dioxide gas Is passed th rough lim e water. It tu rn s milky d ue to the formation of
m ilky suspension (precipitate) of calcium carbonate. Carbon dioxide is produced by the action of
dilute HCI on sodium ca rbonate. Na2CO3(s) +2 HCl(aq )-2 NaCl+H2O(l)+CO2
Carbon dioxide gas produced in this reaction is passed through lime water it changes to milky
colour due to the formation of calciu m carbonate.
Long ans _ , typ• questions :
1 . What is corrosion ? State the conditions necessary for rusting of iron . How rusting is harmful 7
Ans : Corrosion : The process of eating away of the metal by the action of atmosp~eric reagents
changirg the metal into i ts compound ,s called corrosion.
Rusting of Iron : When iron and iron objects are exposed to atmosphere. they are attacked by air
and moisture (water) of the atmosphere and a brown and orange col0<ed layer Is fo,med on the
surface. It is cc,lled rust w~ich is mainly hydrc,ted iron ( I) oxide Fe201.. xH20.
Harmful Effect of Rusting : Hydrated iron (Il l) oxide Is brittle substarce and moves away from the
surface thus the object Is damaged . The ob1ects get holes, cav.ties and rough surface. Con ditions
necessary for rustl ng :
Ans: • · "a chem ical change sor,,e boods are broken and some bonas are formed . The prooucts
are quite dlllereo t from t he rH ct ants Therefore It oormally can't be reverseo
b . A chemlcal eq uatloo has t o be balanced to satisfy t he law or conservation or mass.
c . O• passl og CO2 gas t hrough lime water. It turns mil ky due to formation or
Insol ubl e cal ciu m carbonat e whi ch dlssolvtH on passing excess CO2 due t o
d . No, rusuno or Iron cannot t ake place In distilled wat er because It neither con tai ns di ssolved
o• ygen nor CO2 both are essential for rusllng of Iron .
l , The m arble st at ues often slowl y get conooed when kept In open for o long time.
Assign • suitable uplanollon
Ans . S02 ' NO2 gases are rel eased Into the atmosphere from various sources These dissol ve In
rain water to give acid which corrodes marbl e statue
2. You are give• the following mat erials (a) marble chi ps (b)dllu te hyorochlorlc acid (c) Zi nc
granules ,ldeM,ly tl1 e type or reacuon wheo marble chi ps and Zinc granul es are added separat ely
t o acid taken In two test t ubes
Ans . (al marbl e ch ips react with dilute h ydrochloric acid to form cllc,sm c~lorlde and carbon
dloJ<Jde It Is a double di spl acement reaction
CaCO1 + 2HCI .., CaCl 2 + H2O ♦ CO2
(bl Zinc granules rea ct with dilute hydrochloric acid 10 give hydrogen gas It Is a di splacem ent
reaction Zn(s) + 2HCI ... ZnCl2(aql + H21I0)
3 . T~e gases hydrogen & chl orine do not react with eac h ot her even II kep t together for a long
tlme . However. in til e presence of sunhght. t hey readily combi ne. What does act ually happen7
Ans. n Chem i cal reactions, energy is needec t o break the bonds presen t In t he reacting mol ecules
so that t hey may combine to form the prooucts. n this reaction, sunlight Is the soorce of energ y In
t he f orm of photons. The energy m ade available by sunlight helps In breaking the bonds & this
