Section B (2 Mark Each) Do any 4 Questions
1) Answer the following:
a) Define the term decomposition reaction. Write one chemical equation each for decomposition reaction
where energy is supplied in the form of heat, light or electricity.
b) Decomposition of vegetable matter into compost is considered an exothermic reaction. Why?
2) What happens when zinc granules are treated with dilute solution of HCl , NaOH , HNO3 and H 2 SO4 ? Also
write the chemical equations if reaction occurs.
3) A crystalline substance of green colour 'X' emits gases of characteristic odour when heated over a
flame. It first loses water and changes colour. On further heating, it decomposes and produces a solid
compound Y.
a) Identify 'X' and 'Y'.
b) State the change in colour observed when 'X' is heated.

a) Define oxidation. Identify and name the substance oxidised and oxidizing agent in the following reaction:
CuO H 2 Cu H 2O
b) Name the acid present in ant sting and give its chemical formula. Also give the common method to get
relief from the discomfort caused by the ant sting.
5) Explain activity of electrolysis of water with diagram. Why acidified water is used in this process. Why is the
amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes; double of the amount collected in the other? Name this gas.
Section C (3 Mark Each) Do any 4 Questions
1) In one of the industrial processes used for manufacture of sodium hydroxide, a gas X is formed as by product.
The gas X reacts with lime water to give a compound Y which is used as a bleaching agent in chemical
industry. Identify X and Y giving the chemical equation of the reactions involved.
2) Consider the following salts:
i) X Cl ii) NH4Y iii) Z CO3
Answer the following questions giving reason in each case.
a) If 'X' is sodium, what is the pH of X Cl ?
b) If 'Y' is sulphate, what colour would the aqueous solution of NH4Y give when a few drops of universal
indicator are added to it?
c) If 'Z' is calcium, what would be the change in colour in blue litmus paper when a drop of Z CO3 is poured
on it?
3) A metal carbonate X on reacting with an acid gives a gas which when passed through a solution Y gives the
carbonate back. On the other hand, a gas G that is obtained at anode during electrolysis of brine is passed on
dry Y, it gives a compound Z, used for disinfecting drinking water. Identity X, Y, G and Z.
