STD IX SCIENCE WORKSHEET

1. What happens when iron nail is put in copper sulphate solution?

2. When sodium sulphate solution is added to barium chloride solution , the white precipitate is formed.
What is this precipitate and why is it formed?

3. On burning magnesium ribbon, a whit ash is obtained that turns a red litmus solution to blue . What is
the name and nature of the white ash?

4. A student took about 10 mL of dil. H2SO4 in a conical flask and added a few pieces of clean zinc metal.
He observed small bubbles of a colourless and odourless gas coming out of the flask. On bringing a
candle flame at the mouth of the flask, he observed that the candle flame goes off and the gas in flask
burns with a pop sound. Name the gas and the chemical reaction taking place.

5. Why is it advised to rub magnesium ribbon with sand paper before burning it in air?

6. Student 'X' puts Fe nails in CuSO4 solution while the other student 'Y' puts Cu pieces in FeSO4 solution.
The observation that solution turns green from blue colour is reported by which student?

7.What will be the change in colour of anhydrous copper sulphate before and after heating?

8. Identify 'X' in the given thermal decomposition equation of blue vitriol.

CuSO45H2O ---------------> CuO + 5H2O + X

9. Which type of reaction is involved when crystals of copper sulphate are heated up to

4000 C?

10. Metal A when placed in dilute sulphuric acid gives hydrogen gas but metal B, does not give hydrogen
when reacted with the acid. What can you say about the reactivities of metals A and B?
