    This document contains a chemistry lesson about acids, bases, and salts. It includes questions to test understanding of key concepts. It discusses properties of acids and bases like taste and reaction with indicators. Acids react with bases to form salts and water in a neutralization reaction. Examples are given of uses of acids and bases, like hydrochloric acid aiding digestion and baking soda neutralizing bee stings. Safety is also addressed, like treating industrial waste before releasing it into rivers and using acid-resistant tiles in chemistry labs.

    3. State whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
    a. Grape juice is basic in nature: False
    b. Sodium bicarbonate is acidic in nature: False
    c. All bases dissolve in water: False
    d. Methyl orange is a synthetic indicator: True

    4. Match the following. Column A Column B


    Column A Column B
    a. Tartaric acid ( Tanning of i. Explosives
    leather)
    b. Nitric acid (Explosives) ii. Beverages
    c. Carbonic acid (Beverages) iii. Water purification
    d. Ascorbic acid (Water iv. Tanning of leather
    purification)

    5. Answer the following questions in one word or a sentence.


    a. Which acid is present in lemon?
    Answer: Citric acid
    b. Which indicator is extracted from lichens?
    Answer: Litmus
    c. Which acid is used as a food preservative?
    Answer: Acetic acid
    d.Which substances give a soapy feeling when rubbed between the fingers?
    Answer: Bases

    6. Answer the following questions in short.


    a. What are synthetic indicators?
    Answer: Indicators that are prepared from artificial or man-made substances are
    known as synthetic indicators.

    b. What happens when an acid reacts with a base?


    Answer: An acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.
    c. Name any two salts and state their uses.
    Answer: Name of two salts and their uses are:
    1. Ammonium sulphate- used as fertilizer
    2. Sodium chloride- used to enhance the taste of food and as a food
    preservative.
    d.How are acid burns treated?
    Answer: They are first washed with plenty of water and then treated with a dilute
    solution or a paste of baking soda. The baking soda neutralises the effect of the
    acid.

    7. Give reason.
    a. It is a common practice to apply a paste of baking soda on a bee sting.
    Answer: An ant or bee sting contains formic acid. It can be treated by using a base
    that will neutralise the formic acid. A paste of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate),
    calamine lotion (contains zinc carbonate) or soap can be used to neutralise the
    sting.
    b. Factory waste must be treated before discarding it in river water.
    Answer: Several industries produce waste which contains strong acids. If these
    wastes are directly allowed to flow into rivers, they will adversely affect aquatic
    life. To avoid this, wastes are first treated with bases like calcium oxide or
    magnesium oxide to neutralise the harmful effects of the acids.
    c. Toothpastes play a very important role in preventing tooth decay.
    Answer: Toothpastes are basic in nature and help to prevent tooth decay by
    neutralising the acids produced by action of bacteria on the various food items
    that we eat.

    8. Answer the following questions in detail.


    a. What is a neutralisation reaction? Explain with the help of an example.
    Answer: The reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water is known
    as a neutralisation reaction.
    Example: Acid + Base-- Salt + Water
    HCl + NaOH- NaCl + H2O
    b. Complete the following table.
    Properties Example with Uses
    Acids They have a sour taste. Acetic acid is used as

    food additive, flavoring

    and preservative.

    Bases A base is bitter to taste Potassium hydroxide is

    and soapy to touch. used for manufacturing

    An experiment was performed where 15 ml of dilute solution of sodium hydroxide
    is taken in a conical flask. Hydrochloric acid is then added to the sodium

    reaction)
    a. Write the chemical equation of the reaction.
    Answer: HCl + NaOH-- NaCl + H2O

    11.Value based question


    Ankush and his friend were playing in the garden. Ankush’s friend was
    in extreme pain as he was stung by a bee. Ankush immediately applied a
    paste of baking soda on the affected area.
    a.What does a bee’s sting contain?
    Answer: The bee’s sting contains formic acid.
    b.Why did Ankush apply a paste of baking soda on the affected area?
    Answer: Because applying the paste of baking soda will help in relieving pain as
    baking soda being the base will neutralize the effect of acid.
    c.What values were displayed by Ankush?

    12.HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills)


    The working tables in a chemistry laboratory are generally
    covered with tiles instead of wood or metal. Why?
    Answer: Because chemistry labs contains various types of
    chemicals which include acids and bases also, which are
    corrosive in nature and can corrode wood or metal with time.
