Q 1 Give a balanced equation for the following conversions.

[a] Iron to iron tetra oxide using steam
3 Fe + 4H2O--Fe3O4+4H2
[b] Copper oxide to copper using charcoal
CuO+C-CO+C

[c]Calcium carbonate to calcium chloride using dilute hydrochloric acid.

CaCO3+2HCl-CaCl2+H2

[d]Calcium sulphate to calcium carbonate using washing soda

CaSO4+Na2CO3-2NaCl+CaCO3

Q 2 Write the colour and chemical formula of following hydrated salts

[a] Magnesium sulphate Mg SO4.7H2O [b] Iron sulphate Green FeSO4.7H2O
[c]Copper sulphate CuSO4.5H2O Blue [d] Zinc sulphate ZnSO4.7H2O White
Q 3 Write any three observations when hydrated copper sulphate crystals are heated strongly .

Water dropklets on upper side of test tube

Crystals crumble to powdery form
Crystal lose their blue colour
Q 4 Fill in the blanks with suitable words :
[a] Water is called the –Universal ------solvent as it dissolves many substances.
[b]The particles of-Suspension ---------are bigger than those of a colloid.
[c] A substance that contains water of crystallization is called a Hydrated --------substnce.
[d] In a ----Saturated --------solution ,no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature.
[e] Temporary hardness of water is due to presence of –Bicarbonates ---------of calcium and
magnesium.
[f] Chalk powder in water is an example of a – Suspension ------------
Q 5 Match the following :
 Column A Column B
1 Universal solvent A Calcium bi carbonate
2 Hygroscopic salt B Potassium nitrate
3 Magnesium sulphate hepta hydrate C Calcium chloride
4 Permanent hardness of water D Phosphorus pentaoxide
5 Anhydrous substance E Hydrated substance
6 F water
1-F
2-D
3-E
4-C
5-B

Q 6 List two ways to convert saturated solution to unsaturated solution.

By heating and by adding more solvent

Q 7 Give reasons for the following :

[a]The components of a solution cannot be separated by filtration .
Solute particles are smaller and can pass through filter paper
[b] Filter paper can be used to separate the components of a suspension.
Solute particles are bigger
[c] Permanent hardness can not be removed by boiling.
Caused by CaCl2 and MgSO4 Which can not decompose by heating
[d]Temporary hardness can reduce the heating efficiency of utensils,industrial boilers and hot
water pipes .
White deposition of Calcium carbonate
Q 8 Classify the following solutions as true solution, suspension and colloid.
Glucose and water,Mud in water ,Oil in water, Milk,Salt in water, Egg albumin in water,Sea
water,Paint ,Blood, Chalk in water
