you write all the necessary conditions.

3. Write balanced chemical equations for the following reactions:

i. iron + steam
ii. magnesium + hot water
iii. hydrogen + chlorine
iv. hydrogen + zinc oxide

ii. Justify why H2S is oxidized.
iii. Name the oxidizing agent.

6. i. Complete and balance the following equation:

H2 + N2 ⇌
ii. Give one test for identification for the gas evolved in (i)
iii. What is the effect of the gas evolved in (i) on blue litmus?

7. Name or state the following with respect to hydrogen:

i. the valency
ii. the atomicity
iii. the atomic number
8. Give the chemical formulae of the following :
i. Green vitriol
ii. Epsom salt
iii. Blue vitriol
iv. Gypsum
9. What is anomalous expansion of water? How is it useful to marine life?
10. Fill in the blanks with the words from the given list:

immiscible, dispersed, heterogeneous, visible, emulsion, filtration, homogeneous,

settle, dispersion

Colloids are a type of mixture that is in between a-------solution and a ------

suspension.
They have particle sizes that are big enough to be----- but the particles do not------
over time. Colloids have a ------ phase and a ------ medium. Also, colloids can't be
separated by -----.
Some common colloids are fog, smoke, foam, gels, and emulsion.
An ------ is two ------ liquids that are dispersed through one another.
Colloids are like a homogeneous solution in some ways, but like a heterogenous
suspension in other ways.

11.

12. How can hardness of water be removed? Write balanced chemical equations
to support your answer.
