Case Study Based Questions(1-5)

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions : The concept of electron transfer is
foundunable to explain the redox changes or electron shift in case of covalent compounds. To explain these
changes a new concept, called oxidation number is introduced. Oxidation number is defined as the charge
that an atom of the element has in its ion or appear to have when present in the combined state with other
atoms. In other words, it is also defined as the charge that an atom appear to have in a compound when all
other atoms are removed as ions from the compound. The following steps are involved while calculating the
oxidation number of an atom in a given compound/ion.
Step I Write down the formula of given compound/ion leaving some space between the atoms.
Step II Write the oxidation state of each element above its atoms. Write down x above the atom, oxidation
state of which we have to find out.
Step III Multiply the oxidation numbers of each element with the number of atoms of that element present in
the compound. Enclose the product in a bracket.
Step IV Equate the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms present in a compound to zero or
to the charge in case of ionic species charge on the ion.
Step V Solve the equation obtained for the value of x. The following questions (i-iv) are multiple choice
questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:

(a)KMnO4 (b)K2MnO4 (c)Mn2O3 (d)MnO2

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Water is classified as either soft or hard. Soft water contains relatively few minerals and hard water is rich in
minerals. Water hardness is usually expressed as the number of part per million (ppm) of calcium carbonate.
Regions with soft water include the Pacific Northwest from Oregon up through British Columbia. The hard
water region (100 + pm) include the Canadian Prairies, the U.S Midwest, and the Southwestern states of
New Mexico and Arizona.In a sense, the hardness of water is the other side of the coin to alkalify. In general
terms, rainy climates such as the Pacific Northwest have acid water. Rain leaches out much of the minerals
ions in the soil, replacing them with hydrogen ions. The result is that the water is rich in hydrogen and thus
acidic (soft). The reverse is the case in the dry regions, where moisture evaporates, leaving the minerals
intact. The result is water rich in minerals and thus alkaline (hard). In the questions, a statement of assertion
followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the
basis of the above passage.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is correct explanation for Assertion.

(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement.
(d) Assertion is incorrect statement but Reason is correct statement.
11- Assertion Pure demineralised water is obtained by passing water successively through a cation exchange
and an anion exchange resins.
Reason In cation exchange process, H+ exchanges for Na+ , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and other cations present in water.
In anion exchange process, OH – exchanges anions like Cl −,HCO3 −,SO4 − 2 present in water. a
12- Assertion Hard water does not lather with soap.
Reason -Hard water contains calcium and magnesium salts in the form of hydrogen carbonate, chloride and
sulphate. a
13- Assertion Soft water is free from the soluble salts of calcium and magnesium.
Reason It does not lather with soap easily. c
