A student makes an arrangement to test the electrical conductivity of distilled water as shown in
figure. The student observes that the bulb does not glow. What could be the reason the bulb does
not glow?
9. Show the formation of KCl by the transfer of electrons using their electron dot structures and
the ions present in the compound.
11.
(a) Identify the type of chemical reaction that will take place and define it. How will the colour of
the salt change?
Photochemical decomposition reaction: The reaction In which a compound breaks down into simple
substances in presence of light.
(b) Write the chemical equation of the reaction that takes place.
sunlight
2AgCl 2Ag + Cl2
(c) Mention one commercial use of this salt.
Silver chloride is used in black and white photography
12. (a) Crystals of a substance changed their colour from blue to white on heating in a closed test
tube, but regained it after sometime when they were allowed to cool down. Name the substance and
write its formula.
Copper sulphate, CuSO4.5H2O
(b) explain the phenomenon involved.
Copper sulphate crystals contain water of crystallisation. On heating this water is removed and turn
white. Water of crystallisation is the fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of a salt.
(c) Name the compound whose one formula unit is associated with 10 water molecules. Give two
uses of the compound.
Na2CO3. 10H2O
Used in glass, soap and paper industry.
Used for removing permanent hardness of water
13. (i) Write the name and general formula of a chain of hydrocarbons in which addition reaction
with hydrogen is possible. State the essential condition for an addition reaction. Stating this
condition, write a chemical equation giving the name of the reactant and the product of the reaction.
CnH2n and CnH2n-2 are general formula of alkene and alkyne in which addition reaction with hydrogen
is possible. Hydrogen is added to unsaturated hydrocarbons in presence of Nickel as a catalyst.
(ii) Explain in brief two main reasons for carbon forming a large number of compounds.
Catenation : Carbon has unique ability to form bonds with the other atoms of carbon, giving rise to
large number of molecules.(Self linking property).
Tetra valency: Carbon can form four covalent bonds with other atoms of carbon or atoms of some other
monovalent atoms.
14. (i) What is meant by isomers? Draw the structures of two isomers of the fifth member of alkane
series.
Isomers are those compounds which have same molecular formula and different structural formula.
Isomers of pentane (any two)
(ii) “We cannot have isomers of first three members of alkane series.” Give reason to justify this
statement.
In first three members of alkane series, branching is not possible, therefore, isomers are not
possible.
(iii) Identify the functional group present in ethanol. Draw the electron dot structure of ethanol.
-OH , alcohol
15. Read the passage and answer the questions given below.
Metallurgy is defined as a process that is used for the extraction of metals in their pure form. The
compounds of metals mixed with soil, limestone, sand, and rocks are known as minerals. Metals are
commercially extracted from minerals at low cost and minimum effort. These minerals are known
as ores. Metallurgy deals with the process of purification of metals and the formation of alloys.
Metals are extracted from their ores using a method dependent on the position of the metal in the
reactivity series.
a.An ore on treatment with dilute hydrochloric acid produces brisk effervescence. What kind of ore
is this? What steps will be required to obtain metal from this ore?
It is a carbonate ore. Concentration of the ore – Calcination – Reduction – refining
b. Copper coin is kept immersed in silver nitrate solution for sometimes. What change will take
place in the colour of the solution? Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction
The solution will become blue in colour, blackish silver metal will get deposited.
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3 ---→ CuNO3)2 + 2Ag.
c. Define activity series of metals. Arrange the metals: gold, copper, iron and magnesium in the
order of their increasing reactivity.
List of metals arranged in the order of their decreasing activities. Most reactive one at the top and less
reactive one at bottom. gold, copper, magnesium, iron
