10. Farmers are using a large number of pesticides and fertilisers in their fields to
increase crop production and to enhance their profits. But by doing so, they are
causing damage to the soil as well as to the environment. Do you agree with this
statement? Why should we avoid eating fruits and vegetables without washing them
properly? (3)

Answers
2. b. A, C and D
Explanation: HCl being an acid turns blue litmus red.
HCl reacts with zinc metal to evolve hydrogen gas.
HCl reacts with solid sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) to evolve carbon dioxide (CO2)
gas.
3. b. salt
Explanation: Carbonates and hydrogen carbonates are types of base. They
make a salt and water when we neutralise them with acid we get carbon
dioxide gas.
The reaction fizzes as bubbles of carbon dioxide are given off. This is easy to
remember because we see the word 'carbonate' in the chemical names.
acid + metal hydrogen carbonate → a salt + water + carbon dioxide
4. d. Ethanoic acid
Explanation: Ethanoic acid will turn pH paper light red because it is weakly
acidic.
8. The salt formation takes place along with water when a solution of an acid is mixed
with a solution of a base.
10. Plants require a specific pH range for their healthy growth. By using a large number
of pesticides and fertilizers, pH of the soil changes which make it more acidic or basic.
So, in the long run, the soil becomes infertile. This leads to soil erosion causing
damage to the environment also. So, the use of these pesticides and fertilizers should
be restricted. And these fertilizers and pesticides get deposited on the fruits and
vegetables and these are toxic for us, that's why the fruits and vegetables must be
properly washed before use.
11. i. The sting of a honey bee releases an acid (methanoic acid) which causes burning
pain.
ii. Toothpaste contains some basic ingredients which neutralize the effect of
methanoic acid (HCOOH) and gave relief.
iii. Rahul’s friends are caring and responsible. They are supportive and helpful, too
12. Metal carbonates react with acids to give salt, carbon dioxide and water.
Metal carbonate + Acid → Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water
e.g. Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2 ↑
13. Zinc is more reactive than hydrogen and it displaces hydrogen from dilute acids. Zinc
reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen gas is evolved.
This is a single displacement reaction of a non-metal by a metal.
Zn(s) + H2SO4 (Dil) → ZnSO4(aq) + H2 (g)
14. i. Hydrolysis of a salt of a strong acid and weak base. They give acidic solutions in
water.
+ 3H2O +
+ 2H2O H2SO4 + Cu(OH)2
ii. Hydrolysis of a salt of a weak acid and a strong base. They give basic solution in
water.
+ 2H2O +
iii. Hydrolysis of a salt of a weak acid and a weak base. They give acidic, neutral or
basic (or alkaline) solutions in water depending upon the nature of weak acid and
a weak base from which salt is produced.
e.g. Ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4) gives neutral solution on hydrolysis.
15. The water molecules which form the part of the structure of a crystal of salt are water
of crystallization. The common name for the compound is washing soda and the
chemical formula is Na2CO3 .10H2O
