(i) Identify the type of reaction.
(ii) Write a chemical equation of another example of this type of reaction.

Q7.1 g of copper powder was taken in a China dish and heated. What change takes place on heating?
When hydrogen gas is passed over this heated substance, a visible change is seen in it. Give the
chemical equations of reactions, the name and the colour of the products formed in each case.

Q8. Mention with reason the colour changes observe when:

(i) silver chloride is exposed to sunlight.

Q11. Consider the following reactions –

a) A + BX → AX + B b) B + CY → BY + C
Arrange A, B, C in the increasing order of their reactivity. Give reason for your answer.
