Answer the following Case Study questions.

1. Direction (Q. Nos. 1-4) Answer the questions on the basis of your understanding of

the following passage and related studied concepts:

During a chemical reaction atoms of one element do not change into those of another
element. Nor do atoms disappear from the mixture or appear from elsewhere. Actually,
chemical reactions involve the breaking and making of bonds between atoms to
produce new substances. There are different types of chemical reactions occurring
during this process. We have observed the effect of these chemical reactions in our
everyday life also. Redox reaction, photochemical reaction, precipitation reaction are
some of the types of chemical reactions.

[Link] decomposition reaction followed by two combination reactions are involved in

white wash of walls?
2. How photochemical reactions have played an important role in photography?
3. Copper Nitrate gives a test of nitrate ion, but if we heat a small amount of it in a
boiling tube, it does not give test of nitrate ion. Why?
4. Give one example of oxidation reaction in everyday life.
2. Direction (Q. Nos. 1-5) Answer the questions on the basis of your understanding of
the following passage and related studied concepts:

4. Answer the questions on the basis of your understanding of the following

paragraph and the related studied concepts.

Redox reactions involves both oxidation as well as reduction. If we cut an apple ,it
turns reddish brown after some time because Fe2+ present in apple gets converted into
Fe3+ by loss of electrons. Oxidation is a process in which loss of electrons takes place.
Oxidation is carried out with the help of oxidising agent which can give O2 or remove
hydrogen or can gain electrons. Non-metals are good oxidising agents, KMnO4, K2Cr2O7
are also good oxidising agents in acidic medium. Combustion is oxidation reaction.
Reduction involve gain of electrons. Reducing agent can add H2 or remove O2 or can
lose electrons. Metals are good reducing agents. Reducing agents are used in extraction
of metals.

Identify oxidising and reducing agents in the above equation.

(b) H2S(g) + Cl2(g)→2HCl(g) + S(s)

Name the substance which are getting oxidised and reduced.

(c) Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) →Mg2+(aq) + H2(g)

Why is magnesium acting as reducing agent and H+ are oxidising agent?

(d) Cr2O3 + 2Al→ Al2O3 + 2Cr

Identify the type of above reaction.

(e) Fe3O4 + 4H2→3Fe + 4H2O
