Short answer type questions:

1 . An iron kn ife kept dipped in a blue copper sulphate solution turns the blue solut ion light green.
Why?
Ans . As we know iror is IT'0re reactive than copper . So. it displaces Cu from Cu SO4 solution and
form~ ferrovs sv1ph;ite whit h i~ of Light Green Coloyr. CvSQ4 (;i q) + Fe (s)- FeSQ4 (;iq) + Cv(s)
Blue colour light green colour

2 . A copper coin is kept in a solution of silver nitrate for some time. What will happen 10 the coin
and th e colour of the s01 ut1on ?
Ans: We know that copper Is more reactive tt>an silver . so it will disp lace silver from Its salt
solution : Cu (s) + 2AgN0 3(aq) -Cu (NO3)2(aQ ) + 2Ag(s) So the solution will tum b lue due to the
formation of copper nitrate

3 . Wh at do you un derstand by precipitation r eaction? Explain with suitable examples.

Ans. Precipitate. When two reactants react an<I product forl'T'ed remains insolub le and settles as a
solid it Is called a precipitate. Such r eactions In which preci pitate Is formed are called precipitation
rei!ttlons.

For example ,

I) When aq ueous solution of sod iu m sulphate Is mixed with the aqueous solution or barium
chloride. bariu m sulphate comes In the form of white precipitate
Na2SO4 (aq )+ BaCl2(aq) - BaSO4 ( i )+2NaCl(aq)
1 1 Zlfl CHANDIGARH

ii) When aqueous solution of sodium chloride is m ixed wit h the aqu eous solution of sliver nitrate.
silver chloride comes in the form of white precipitate.

4 . w~at Is lime-water test for the detect ion of carbon dio xide?
Ans. When carbon dioxide gas Is passed th rough lim e water. It tu rn s milky d ue to the formation of
m ilky suspension (precipitate) of calcium carbonate. Carbon dioxide is produced by the action of
dilute HCI on sodium ca rbonate. Na2CO3(s) +2 HCl(aq )-2 NaCl+H2O(l)+CO2
Carbon dioxide gas produced in this reaction is passed through lime water it changes to milky
colour due to the formation of calciu m carbonate.
Long ans _ , typ• questions :

1 . What is corrosion ? State the conditions necessary for rusting of iron . How rusting is harmful 7
Ans : Corrosion : The process of eating away of the metal by the action of atmosp~eric reagents
changirg the metal into i ts compound ,s called corrosion.

Rusting of Iron : When iron and iron objects are exposed to atmosphere. they are attacked by air
and moisture (water) of the atmosphere and a brown and orange col0<ed layer Is fo,med on the
surface. It is cc,lled rust w~ich is mainly hydrc,ted iron ( I) oxide Fe201.. xH20.
Harmful Effect of Rusting : Hydrated iron (Il l) oxide Is brittle substarce and moves away from the
surface thus the object Is damaged . The ob1ects get holes, cav.ties and rough surface. Con ditions
necessary for rustl ng :

I) Open surfaces of the metal

II) Presence of air fO•yg en).

Ill) Presence of moJsture (water).

2 . What Is rancidi ty? Write the common methoo to prevent It.

Ans. When IOO<I item are kept unprotected for some time, they give some unpleasart smell ano
taste ano becorre rancid.
This process is call ed rancidity. Actually, the m,uo organisms o• idl ze the fat ano 0,1s present in
them. So,o,ooation of food items need to be prevented to protect them .Common methods to
Prevent Rancidity of Food item

i) Keeping the fooo at low temperature

Ii) Keeping f ood Item In air tight containers
Ill) By lllling nltr09en In the food storage bags

d) Cao rusting of Iron takes pl ace In distilled water?

Ans: • · "a chem ical change sor,,e boods are broken and some bonas are formed . The prooucts
are quite dlllereo t from t he rH ct ants Therefore It oormally can't be reverseo
