Section A
Q 1.Which of the following gases is used to store fat and oil-containing foods for a
long time?

a) Carbon dioxide
b) Oxygen
c) Nitrogen
d) Neon

2. In the given experiment, on heating lead nitrate powder in a boiling test tube, we
observe brown fumes. The emission of brown coloured fumes is due to formation of:

a) Thermal decomposition of lead nitrate which produces brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide
b) Thermal decomposition of lead nitrate which produces brown fumes of lead dioxide
c) Oxidation of lead nitrate forming lead oxide and nitrogen dioxide
d) Oxidation of lead nitrate forming lead oxide and oxygen
3) Complete the missing components / variables given as x and y in the following reactions

(a) Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) → Pbl2 (x) + 2 KNO3 (y)

(b) Cu (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + x(s)

(c) Zn (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (x) + H2 (y)

4) Oxidation is the process of gaining of oxygen, or losing of hydrogen. Reduction is the

process of losing of oxygen or gaining of hydrogen. The substance which undergoes
oxidation is the reducing agent while the substance which undergoes reduction is
known as the oxidizing agent. Oxidation and reduction always take place together and
these type of reactions are known as redox reactions. Some of the examples of redox
reactions are given below:

(i)Give two examples of oxidation reaction from your everyday life.

(ii) Write the oxidizing agent in the reaction III and VI.

(iii) Which of the following is an oxidising agent?

(a) LiAlH4
(b) Alkaline KMnO4
(c) Acidified K2Cr2O7
(d) Both (b) and (c)

(iv) Out of oxidation and reduction, which reaction takes place at anode?
5) Identify ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ in the following reaction :

(a) x = gas; y = reaction condition; z = gas

(b) x = solid; y = liquid; z = gas
(c) x = number of moles of KClO3; y = reaction condition; z = number of molecules of oxygen
(d) x = physical state of KClO3 and KCl;
y = reaction condition, z = physical state of O 2.

6) Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime.

CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq)
This reaction can be classified as
(A) Combination reaction
(B) Exothermic reaction
(C) Endothermic reaction
(D) Oxidation reaction
Which of the following is a correct option?
(a) (A) and (C)
(b) (C) and (D)
(c) (A), (C) and (D)
(d) (A) and (B)

7) A substance X, an oxide of a group 2 element, is used intensively in the cement

industry. This element is present in bones also. On treatment with water, it forms a
solution which turns red litmus blue. Identify X and also write the chemical reactions
involved.
8) Zinc liberates hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid, whereas copper does
not. Explain why?

9) When zinc granules are treated with a dilute solution of H 2SO4, HCI, HNO3, NaCI and NaOH.
Write the chemical equations if a reaction occurs.
