Q.13 Give a balanced chemical equation for the following reactions:
(i) Silver chloride is exposed to sunlight
(ii) Copper powder is strongly heated in presence of oxygen
Q.14 A sanitary worker uses a white chemical having strong smell of chlorine gas to disinfect the
water tank.

(iii) What will happen if hydrogen gas is passed through this black substance.
Q.16 Why decomposition reactions are called the opposite of combination reactions? Write
one equation for each of these reactions.
Q.17 Observe the following activity, when few grams of lead nitrate powder were taken in boiling
tube and was heated over the flame.
Answer the following questions:
a. What is the colour of fumes that are observed? What are the fumes of?
b. What type of reaction is it?
c. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction taking place?
Q.18 (a.) What happens when food materials containing fats and oils are left for a long time?
Suggest two ways by which this phenomenon can be prevented.
(b.) Translate a balanced chemical equation, for the following reactions:
i. Hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen to form ammonia.
ii. Potassium metal reacts with water to give potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Q.19 In the equation, ZnO + C → Zn + CO
Identify: oxidation reaction, reduction reaction, substance oxidized, substance
reduced, oxidizing agent, reducing agent
Explain with the help of equation, why respiration is an exothermic process.
Q.20 Copper sulphate crystals which seem to be dry contain water of crystallisation. When we
heat the crystals, this water is removed and the salt turns white. This is due to loss of water
of crystallisation upon heating. But if you moisten the crystals again with water, you will find
that blue colour of the crystals reappears. Five water molecules are present in one formula
unit of copper sulphate. Chemical formula for hydrated copper sulphate is CuSO4.5H2O.
One other salt, which possesses water of crystallisation is gypsum.
(a.) What is the colour of anhydrous copper sulphate?
(b.) What do you mean by water of crystallisation?
(c.) What is the chemical formula for Gypsum. What will happen if gypsum is heated at 373K.
(d.) A white powder is used by the doctors for supporting fractured bones. What is it? Write
the chemical equation when this white powder is mixed with water.
Q.21 Which gas is liberated when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate?
Q.22 Name the salt formed when sulphuric acid is added to sodium hydroxide solution. Give its pH
as well?
Q.23 Give reason for the following:
(i) Respiration is an exothermic reaction.
(ii) Oil and fat containing food items are flushed with nitrogen.
(iii) We apply paint on iron articles.
Q.24 A milkman has fresh milk with pH of 6. How will its pH change as it changes into curd?
Another milkman also has fresh milk but he adds very small amount of baking soda to it and now it
takes much longer for this milk to set as curd. Give reason for your answer.
Q.25 (i) Why is advised to rub a mild base, when a person gets stung by a bee.
(ii) Upon electrical decomposition of water which two gases are released. Also, give their mole
ratio.
(iii) Distilled water does not conduct electricity. State reason.
(iv) What is a universal indicator.
