from (i) to (v). s
Chemical reactions involve the breaking
and making of bonds between atoms to
produce new substances . During a
chemical reaction atoms of one element do
not change into those of another
element. Nor do, atoms disappear from
the mixture or appear from elsewhere.
There are certain types of reactions.
Reactions in which a single product is
formed from two or more reactants is
known as a combinatio n reactions.
Decompos ition reactions are the reaction
in which a compound breaks down into
simpler compound s.
Displacem ent and double displacement
reactions are one in which an atom or
group of atom is replaced by another.
A double displaceme nt reaction usually
occurs in solution and one of products,
being insoluble, percipitate out (separate
as a solid). Another of reaction is redox
reactions in which simultaneo us oxidation
and reduction takes place.

58. Read the following and answer questions
from (i) to (v).
Rancid fats are formed in human diet in
places such as cooking oils and fats, deep
fried foods and some ethnic foods that
are purposely made rancid. However,
any fat, given the right conditions and
amount of time, can go rancid. It means
that any food containing fat can become
rancid.
For instance, India, 1992, a group of 45
childrens were hospitalised with
vomiting, abdominal pain and
diarrhoea, which prompted an
investigation.
The investigation turned up a total of 71
childrens and 9 adults who were affected
by eating rancid cream-filled biscuits
which the children had found in the street
and shared with their families. Most
children ate 0.5 to 2 biscuits and were
discharged from the hospitals within
24 hours, one girl ate 12 biscuits and
remained in the hospital for 7 days. All the
hospitalised children were treated
successfully and the researchers decided
that the cause of illness was the oxidative
rancidity of the cream inside the biscuits.
Presence of antioxidants is an antidote for
rancidity.
(i) Which of the follownig food items
become oxidised if placed for a few
hours in open?
(a) Dark green vegetables (b) Biscuits
(c)Oil (d)Potato
(ii) The following steps are taken to protect
yourself from the effect of rancid fats.
I. Store oils and fats correctly.
II. Avoid food which contains fats or
stale smell.
III. Consume antioxidants containing
foods such as dark green
vegetables.
The correct steps, mentioned above are
(a) I, 11 (b) II, Ill
(c)Onlylll (d)Allofthese
(iii) The fresh food become stale and
tasteless when exposed to air due to
(a) reduction of fats and oils takes place
(b) oxidation of fats and oil takes place
(c) corrosion of food
(d) reaction between carbon dioxide and fats
and oils present in food.
(iv) Which of the following is used to
prevent rancidity of foo~?
(a) Species (b) Vinegar
(c) Antioxidants (d) All of th ese
(v) The packed food items like potato chips
are flushed with which gas?
