A small amount of NaOH, anhydrous CuSO4<\/sub> and NaCl were added to the beakers A, B and C respectively. It w as observed that there was an increase in the temperature of the solutions contained in beakers A and B, whereas in case of beaker C, the temperature of the solution falls. Which one of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?<\/h2>\n
\n(ii) In beakers A and B, endothermic process has occurred.

\n(iv) In beaker C, endothermic process has occurred.<\/p>\n
\n(B) (ii) only
\n(C) (i) and (iv)
\n(D) (ii) and (iii)
\nAnswer:
\n(C) (i) and (iv)<\/p>\n
\nIn beakers A and B, heat is given out, so the temperature of the solution increases, hence it is an exothermic reaction while in beaker C, heat is absorbed from water, so temperature falls, hence it is an endothermic process.<\/p>\nA dilute ferrous sulphate solution was gradually added to the beaker containing acidified perman-ganate solution. The light purple colour of the solution fades and finally disappears. Which of the following is the correct explanation for the observation?<\/h2>\n
\n(B) FeSO4<\/sub> acts as an oxidising agent and oxidises KMnO4<\/sub>
\n(C) The colour disappears due to dilution; no reaction is involved.
\n(D) KMnO4<\/sub> is an unstable compound and decomposes in presence of FeSO4<\/sub> to a colourless compound.
\nAnswer:
\n(A) KMnO4<\/sub> is an oxidising agent, it oxidises FeSO4<\/sub><\/p>\n
\nA dilute ferrous sulphate solution was gradually added to the beaker containing acidified permanganate solution. A permanganate solution is usually purple in colour. The light purple colour of the solution fades and finally disappears. This is because potassium permanganate (KMnO4<\/sub>) is relatively an unstable compound, it tends to decompose in the presence of ferrous sulphate (FeSO4<\/sub>). This changes the colour of the solution from purple to colourless. FeSO4<\/sub> gets oxidised to Fe2(SO4<\/sub>) as KMnO4<\/sub> acts as a good oxidising agent in an acidic medium.<\/p>\nWhich among the following is (are) double displacement reaction(s)?<\/h2>\n

\n(B) (ii) only
\n(C) (iv) only
\n(D) (ii) and (iv)
\nAnswer:
\n(D) (ii) and (iv)<\/p>\n
\nThe reaction is a double displacement reaction as: BaCl2<\/sub> + (NH4<\/sub>)2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub> \u2192 BaSO4<\/sub>l + 2NH4<\/sub>Cl It is also called precipitation reaction due to the formation of white precipitate of barium sulphate.<\/p>\nWhat happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to iron filings?

\n(C) No reaction takes place.
\n(D) Iron salt and water are produced.
\nAnswer:
\n(A) Hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced.<\/p>\n
\nWhen dilute hydrochloric acid is added to iron filings, hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced.

\n(D) (iv) only
\nAnswer:
\n(A) (i) only<\/p>\n
\nIn the presence of sunlight, the heavy amount of energy of light decomposes AgCl to silver (Ag+) and chloride (Cl) ions. The silver flakes are truly black which when fully spread over white silver chloride looks grey.<\/p>\n
\n(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
\n(C) A is true but R is false.
\n(D)A is false and R is true.<\/p>\nAssertion (A): Carbon dioxide turns lime water milky.
\nReason (R): Carbon dioxide sullies the water.<\/h2>\n
\n(C) A is true but R is false.<\/p>\n
\nCarbon dioxide reacts with lime 1 water (calcium hydroxide) to form milky I precipitate of calcium carbonate.<\/p>\nAssertion (A): A chemical reaction becomes faster at higher temperatures.
\nReason (R): At higher temperatures, molecular motion becomes more rapid.<\/h2>\n
\n(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.<\/p>\n
\nA chemical reaction becomes faster at higher temperatures because at high temperature, the movement of particles are greater.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nAssertion (A): After white washing the walls, a shiny white finish on walls is obtained after two to three days.
\nReason (R): Calcium oxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium hydrogen carbonate which gives shiny white finish.<\/h2>\n
\n(C) A is true but R is false.<\/p>\n
\nCalcium hydroxide is present in whitewash. It reacts slowly with the carbon dioxide in air to form a thin layer of calcium carbonate on the walls. Calcium carbonate is formed after two to three days of white washing. Hence the shiny white finish appears after two to three days on the walls.<\/p>\nAssertion (A): Burning of candle is a physical change.
\nReason (R): In physical change, no new substance is formed.<\/h2>\n
\n(D)A is false and R is true.<\/p>\n
\nBurning of candle is chemical change. Burning of candle melts the wax and hence physical state of wax has changed from solid to liquid. Again the wax combines with the atmosphere oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide, heat and light.<\/p>\nQuestion 5.<\/h2>\n
Assertion (A): Sodium metal is stored under kerosene.
\nReason (R): Metallic sodium melts when exposed to air.<\/h2>\n
\n(C) A is true but R is false.<\/p>\n
\nSodium is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide. This is a strongly exothermic reaction, and lot of heat is generated.<\/p>\nAssertion (A): To dilute sulphuric acid, acid is added to water and not water to acid.
\nReason (R): Specific heat of water is quite large.<\/h2>\n
\n(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.<\/p>\n
\nThe mixing of water to an acid is highly exothermic in nature. If water is added to an acid it produces very large amount of heat which can break the container and some times even causes burning. So it is advised to add concentrated acid to water in very slow manner.<\/p>\nAssertion: In the reaction : MnO2<\/sub> + 4HCl \u2192 MnCl2<\/sub> + 2H2<\/sub>O + Cl2<\/sub> HCl is getting oxidized while MnO2<\/sub> is getting reduced.
\nReason: The process in which oxygen is added to a substance is called oxidation, whereas the process in which oxygen is removed from a substance is called reduction.<\/h2>\n
\n(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.<\/p>\n
\nIn the given reaction, HCl is oxidized to Cl2<\/sub> while MnO2<\/sub> is reduced to MnCl2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nAssertion (A): Chips manufacturers usually flush bags of chips with gas such as nitrogen.
\nReason (R): Nitrogen gas prevents the oil and fats of the chips from being oxidized.<\/h2>\n
\n(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.<\/p>\n
\nChips manufacturers usually flush bags of chips with gas such as nitrogen to prevent the oil and fats of the chips from being oxidized or become rancid.<\/p>\n

\n(B) polluted water is basic in nature hence it reacts with calcium carbonate
\n(C) polluted water is acidic in nature he
\n(D) calcium carbonate dissolves in water to give calcium hydroxide.
\nAnswer:
\n(B) polluted water is basic in nature hence it reacts with calcium carbonate<\/p>\n
\nChemically, marble is Calcium Carbonate. The atmosphere contains many oxides, which dissolve in water forming acids like sulfuric; nitric which are common due to modern pollution. Even carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid which also does damage. These will react with marble and result in formation of calcium salt, carbon dioxide and water.

\nThe physical states of the reactants and products can be represented by using the symbols (s) for solids, (l) for liquids, (g) for gases and (aq) for aqueous solution along with their respective formulae. The word aqueous is written if the reactant or product is present as a solution in water. Precipitate can also be represented by using an arrow pointing downwards (\u2193) instead of using symbol (s).
