 a) Assertion: Magnesium ribbon when burnt in air forms a white powder of
magnesium oxide.

Reason: Magnesium ribbon reacts with carbon dioxide present in the air.

b) Assertion: The blue colour of copper sulphate changes to green on adding a

piece of iron.
Reason: Iron is placed above copper in the reactivity series.

10. Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)

Identify the type of reaction given below.
Copper (II) oxide, a black solid, and colourless dilute sulphuric acid react to produce
copper
(II) sulphate, giving a characteristic blue colour to the solution. Blue copper (II)
sulphate pentahydrate crystals are obtained from this solution.
