Answers

1. C
Option (A): flammable
Option (B): corrosive
Option (C): oxidizing
Option (D): explosive
Oxygen supports burning but it is not flammable.

2. B
Carbon dioxide reacts with limewater to form calcium carbonate.
calcium hydroxide + carbon dioxide  calcium carbonate + water
∴X is calcium carbonate.
Excess carbon dioxide reacts with calcium carbonate and water to give calcium
hydrogencarbonate.
calcium carbonate + carbon dioxide + water  calcium hydrogencarbonate
∴Y is calcium hydrogencarbonate.
Calcium hydrogencarbonate is soluble in water. Thus, the solution turns from milky to
colourless.

3. D
Potassium chloride gives a lilac flame. Sodium oxide gives a golden yellow flame. Calcium
nitrate gives a brick-red flame.

4. B
Option (A): the components of air are separated according to their difference in boiling points.
Option (C): the filtered air is cooled to –80C to remove carbon dioxide and water vapour in air.
Option (D): the purified air is cooled to –200C.

5. D
Option (A): a mixture of two compounds
Option (B): a mixture of two elements
Option (C): a pure compound

6. C
Oxygen can relight a glowing splint. Water has a boiling point of 100C. Carbon dioxide has a
boiling point of 78.5C.

7. C
In the electrolysis of sea water, hydrogen and chlorine form at the negative electrode and the

positive electrode respectively. Hydrogen is flammable and chlorine is toxic.

8. B
Oxygen supports burning. Nitrogen is used to make ammonia, which is then used to make
fertilizers. Argon is used to fill light bulbs. Nitrogen boils at –196C.

9. D
Filtration is used to remove the mud. The filtrate collected is sea water. The salt crystals can
then be obtained by crystallization.

10. A
The chemical composition of quicklime is calcium oxide. Calcium hydroxide forms when water
is added to calcium oxide.
calcium oxide + water  calcium hydroxide
Clam shells contain calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid
to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
calcium carbonate + dilute hydrochloric acid  calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
Lead can be extracted from lead(II) oxide by heating it with carbon strongly.
lead(II) oxide + carbon  lead + carbon dioxide
Marble contains calcium carbonate. It decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when it
is heated strongly.
calcium carbonate  calcium oxide + carbon dioxide

11. D
The calcium carbonate in limestone reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form carbon dioxide
(gas X). Carbon dioxide has a higher density than air, so it falls on the burning candle. It
suppresses burning and makes the candle go out.

12. D
The aqueous solution contains a potassium compound as it gives a lilac flame in the flame test.
It contains a compound of carbonate as it effervesces when reacting with hydrochloric acid.
It contains a compound of chloride as it reacts with acidified silver nitrate solution to give a
white precipitate.

13. A
Calcium carbonate decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when it is heated strongly.
P is calcium oxide and Q is carbon dioxide.

14. C
(1): The combustion is usually incomplete and hence a yellow flame is observed.
(2): Charcoal burns in air to produce carbon dioxide and fine carbon particles. However,
carbon dioxide is colourless and cannot be observed.

(3): Zinc dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid to form a colourless solution.

17. C
(1): It is a physical property of X because no new substance(s) form(s) when it conducts
electricity.

18. D
(1): Potassium carbonate gives a lilac flame while copper(II) chloride gives a bluish green
flame.
(2): Copper(II) chloride gives a white precipitate while potassium carbonate does not show any
observable change.
(3): Potassium carbonate gives colourless gas bubbles while copper(II) chloride does not show
any sign of effervescence. Besides, potassium carbonate dissolves in dilute hydrochloric
acid to give a colourless solution while copper(II) chloride gives a pale blue solution.
