1. The chemical reaction involved in the corrosion of iron metal is that of:

(a) oxidation as well as displacement

(b) reduction as well as combination

(c) oxidation as well as combination

(D) reduction as well as displacement

2. Consider the following equation of the chemical reaction of a metal M:

4M + 302  2M203

This equation represents:

(a) combination reaction as well as reduction reaction

(b) decomposition reaction as well as oxidation reaction

(c) oxidation reaction as well as displacement reaction

d) combination reaction as well as oxidation reaction

3. Which of the following can be decomposed by the action of light?

(a) NaCl

(b) KCI

(c) AgCl

(d) HCl

II. ASSERTION REASON TYPE QUESTIONS

For the following three questions two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other
labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d)
as given below :

(a) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

(c) A is true but R is false.

(d) A is false but R is true.

1. Assertion: When HCl is added to zinc granules, a chemical reaction occurs. Reason: Evolution of a
gas and change in colour indicate that the chemical reaction is taking place.

2. Assertion: In a reaction of copper with oxygen, copper serves as a reducing agent.

Reason The substance which gains oxygen in a chemical reaction acts as a reducing agent.

3. Assertion: Magnesium ribbon should be cleaned before burning in air.

Reason: Magnesium ribbon is coated with a thin layer of dust containing moisture.

III. PASSAGE BASED QUESTION

Redox reactions are oxidation-reduction chemical reactions in which the reactants undergo a change
in their oxidation states. The term 'redox' is a short form of reduction-oxidation. All the redox
reactions can be broken down into two different processes - a reduction process and an oxidation
process.

The oxidation and reduction reactions always occur simultaneously in the redox reaction or
Oxidation-Reduction reaction. The substance getting reduced in a chemical reaction is known as the
oxidizing agent, while a substance that is getting oxidized is known as the reducing agent.

1. The removal of oxygen from a substance is called:

(a) oxidation
(b) corrosion
(c) reduction
(d) rancidity

2. In the context of redox reactions, the removal of hydrogen, from a substance is known as:

(a) oxidation
(b) dehydration
(c) reduction
(d) dehydrogenation

3. The reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place at the same time is called:

a)Redox reaction

(b) Oxidation reaction

(c)Reduction reaction

(d)None of these

4. A substance which oxidizes itself and reduces other is known as

(a)Oxidizing agent

(b) Reducing agent

(c)Both of these

(d)None of these
