Q: Why Magnesium ribbon is cleaned before burning in the air ?

Ans: The magnesium ribbon which we use usually has a coating of ‘magnesium oxide’
on its surface which is formed by the slow action of oxygen of air on it. So, before
burning in air, the magnesium ribbon is cleaned by rubbing with a sand paper. This is
done to remove the protective layer of magnesium oxide from the surface of
magnesium ribbon so that it may readily combine with the oxygen of air (on heating).

Q: Why the magnesium ribbon should be burned by keeping it as far as

possible from the eyes?
Ans: The dazzling (very bright) white light given out during the burning of magnesium
ribbon is harmful to the eyes. So, the magnesium ribbon should be burned by keeping
it as far as possible from the eyes.

 Formation of Precipitate

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

(i) Take some lead nitrate solution in a test-tube (or a
beaker).
(ii) Add potassium iodide solution to it.
(iii) A yellow precipitate of lead iodide is formed at once.
(iv) A change in colour (from colourless to yellow) also
takes place in this chemical reaction.

Chemical Reactions that evolve Gases AND RIse In Temperature

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

(Take some Zinc Granules in a Conical Flask
Now on Adding the Sulphuric Acid you will See a Magic.
As You will see the bubbles of HYDROGEN GAS forming around the zinc metal
We verified that it is Hydrogen gas because its bubbles burnt with pop sound
when passed through soap solution (As shown below diagram)
Also, if we will touch the flask with our hands we will see that it is too HOT.
So we get to know that along with evolution of gas temperature also rises in
the Chemical Reactions.

 Decomposition reaction of ferrous sulphate.

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

Take about 2 grams of Ferrous Sulphate Crystals in a DRY Boiling Tube.
They are originally Green In Colour
Heat the boiling tube over a burner
Now You will again see the magic.
As the green colour first changes to White And then Finally a Brown Solid is
formed(which is ferric oxide)
So the main observation of this activity is that the smell of burning Sulphur
comes out along with the colour change from Green to White and then Brown.

Decomposition reaction of lead nitrate

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

Take about 2 grams of lead nitrate powder in a boiling tube. Lead nitrate is a
colourless compound.
Hold the boiling tube in a test-tube holder and heat it over a burner.
Brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide gas are evolved which fill the boiling tube.
If a glowing splinter is held over the mouth of the boiling tube, it catches fire and
starts burning again. This shows that oxygen gas is also evolved during this
reaction.
A yellow solid is left behind in the boiling tube. This is lead monoxide (Please
note that lead monoxide is reddish-brown when hot but yellow when cold).

 Decomposition of silver chloride is caused by light

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

Take about 2 grams of silver chloride in a china dish. It is white in colour.
Place this china dish in sunlight for some time .
We will find that white silver chloride turns greyish white (due to the formation of
silver metal).
Silver bromide also behaves in the same way as silver chloride with light energy.

Displacement reaction between iron (nail) and copper sulphate

solution.

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

Take about 10 mL of copper Sulphate solution in a test tube.
Its original colour is Deep Blue
Now take a big iron nail and clean it same like u did with Magnesium Ribbon
using the sand paper.
Now put the iron nail in the solution and then see the magic.
After sometime like half an hour we will see that the iron nail would be covered
with red-brown layer.
And this layer would be of our another metal that is Copper.
So Finally we will see that the original Deep blue colour has faded and the
solution turns to light Green Colour.

 Ch-4: CARBON

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

The atomic mass of C = 12 u, H = 1 u and O = 16 u.
So, molecular mass of CH3OH = 12 + 3 × 1 + 16 + 1 = 32 u.
The molecular mass of C2H5OH = 12× 2 + 5 × 1 + 16 + 1 = 46 u.
The molecular mass of C3H7OH = 12 × 3 + 7 × 1 + 16 + 1 = 60 u.
And molecular mass of C4H9OH = 12 × 4 + 9 × 1 + 16 + 1 = 74 u.
(a) The difference in the molecular formulae of CH3OH and C2H5OH is CH2. The
difference in the molecular masses of CH3OH and C2H5OH is 46 – 32 = 14 u.
(b) The difference in the molecular formulae of C2H5OH and C3H7OH is CH2. And the
difference in the molecular masses of C2H5OH and C3H7OH is 60 – 46 = 14 u.
(c) The difference in the molecular formulae of C3H7OH and C4H9OH is CH2. And the
difference in the molecular masses of C3H7OH and C4H9OH is 74 – 60 = 14 u.

(i) Yes, there is a similarity in the difference between their molecular formulae and
molecular masses. Their molecular formulae differ by CH2 (1 carbon atom and 2
hydrogen atoms), and their molecular masses differ by 14 u.

(ii) These alcohols can be arranged in the order of the increasing carbon atoms as
follows : CH3OH, C2H5OH, C3H7OH, C4H9OH
Yes, we can call it a homologous series.

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

NOTE: Saturated hydrocarbons will generally give a clean flame while unsaturated
carbon compounds will give a yellow flame with lots of black smoke. Now,
• Camphor & Naphthalene are unsaturated hydrocarbons. So they burn with yellow
flame and leave residues.
• Alcohol is saturated and burns with clean blue flame.
This results in a sooty deposit on the metal plate

" 10th मतलब ?? - Shobhit Nirwan "

 Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :
Limiting the supply of air results in incomplete combustion of even saturated
hydrocarbons giving a sooty flame
When do you get a flame? - In presence of a sufficient supply of air with oxygen, it
gives a blue flame.

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

i. When KMnO4 is added, its purple colour disappears initially.

ii. Why does the colour of potassium permanganate not disappear when excess
is added? -- Because all the alcohol gets consumed and the reaction stops.

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

i. We observed a product (Sodium ethoxide) with hydrogen gas.

ii. How will you test the gas evolved? -- When a burning spitter is brought near to the
gas, the gas burns with pop sound.

Chalo Ab Ise AASAN BHASHA MEI Samajhte hai :

Foam is formed with difficulty and an insoluble substance (scum) remains after washing
with water. This is caused by the reaction of soap with the calcium and magnesium
salts, which cause the hardness of water. Hence you need to use a larger amount of

Question 1. What happens to the colour of the leaf? What is the colour of the
solution?
Answer. The green leaf becomes colourless. On immersing green leaf in a alcohol,
chlorophyll responsible for its green colour gets dissolves in alcohol. The colour of
the alcohol solution turns green

Question 2. What can you conclude about the presence of starch in various
areas of the leaf?
Answer. The green areas of leaf, which turns dark blue on dipping in iodine
solution, indicate the presence of starch where as colorless part of leaf show no
formation of starch. From this activity we can conclude that chlorophyll is essential
for photosynthesis

for the presence of starch as in the

Question 1. Do both the leaves show the presence of the same amount of
starch?
Answer. No, both the leaves do not show the presence of the same amount of
starch, because in photosynthesis starch is produced using sun light, chlorophyll
and CO2. In first set up availability of CO2 will be less for making starch by the
plant leaves, as potassium hydroxide (KOH ) absorb the CO2. In second plant
setup, the leaves will have more amount of starch.

Question 2. What can you conclude from this activity?

Answer. From this activity, we can conclude that amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
, essentially affects the process and outcome of photosynthesis.

We shall first consider the pattern of the magnetic field around a straight conductor
carrying current.
What happens to the deflection of the compass needle placed at a given point if the
current in the copper wire is changed? To see this, vary the current in the wire. We find
that the deflection in the needle also changes. In fact, if the current is increased, the
deflection also increases. It indicates that the magnitude of the magnetic field produced
at a given point increases as the current through the wire increases.
What happens to the deflection of the needle if the compass is moved away from
the copper wire but the current through the wire remains the same? To see this, now
place the compass at a farther point from the conducting wire (say at point Q).
What change do you observe? We see that the deflection in the needle decreases. Thus
the magnetic field produced by a given current in the conductor decreases as the
distance from it increases.
From Fig. 13.6, it can be noticed that the concentric circles representing the magnetic field
around a current-carrying straight wire become larger and larger as we move away from
it.
Does the direction of magnetic field lines get reversed if the direction of current
through the straight copper wire is reversed? -- The direction of magnetic field lines is
reversed if the direction of current through the copper wire is reversed.

If the south pole of the magnet is moved towards the end B, the deflections in the
galvanometer would just be opposite to the previous case.
When the coil & magnet are stationary, there is no deflection in the galvanometer.

primary coil and coil-2 is called the secondary coil. As the current in the first coil
changes, the magnetic field associated with it also changes. Thus the magnetic field
lines around the secondary coil also change. Hence the change in magnetic field
lines associated with the secondary coil is the cause of induced electric current in it.
This process, by which a changing magnetic field in a conductor induces a current in
another conductor, is called electromagnetic induction
