ii. A gas is evolved which burnt with a pop sound
iii. The solution remained colourless
The correct observations are
a) i and ii b) i and iii c) ii and iii d) i, ii and iii
4. A dilute solution of sodium carbonate was added to two test tubes one
containing dil HCl (A) and the other containing dilute NaOH (B)
a) a brown coloured gas liberated in A
b) a brown coloured gas liberated in B
c) a colourless gas liberated in A
d) a colourless gas liberated in B
5. Which of the following is / are true when HCl (g) is passed through water?
i) It does not ionise in the solution as it is a covalent compound
ii) It ionises in the solution
iii) It gives both hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the solution
iv) It forms hydronium ion in the solution

6. Lime water reacts with chlorine to form
a) CaCl2 b) CaOCl2 c) Ca(ClO3)2 d) CaO2Cl2
III. Name the products formed for the following chemical reactions. Support your
answer with a balanced chemical equation.
1. Reaction Zinc with dilute sulphuric acid.
2. Reaction of Zinc with sodium hydroxide.
3. Reaction of sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid.
4. Reaction of copper oxide with sulphuric acid.
5. Decomposition of Sodium bicarbonate.
1. On passing excess carbon dioxide gas through lime water it first turns milky and
then becomes colourless explain why? Write all the chemical equations of the
reactions involved.
2. a) For the preparation of cakes baking powder is used. If at home your mother
uses baking soda instead of baking powder how will it affect the taste of the cake
and why?
b) How is baking soda converted into baking powder?
c) What makes the cake soft and spongy?
d) How washing soda is obtained from baking soda?
5. Salt ‘A’ commonly used in bakery products on heating gets converted into
another salt ‘B’ which itself is used for removal of hardness of water and a gas ‘C’
is evolved. The gas ‘C’ when passed through lime water turns it milky. Identify
‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’.
6. In one of the industrial process used for manufacture of sodium hydroxide, a gas
‘X’ is formed as by product. The gas ‘X’ reacts with limewater to give a compound
‘Y’ which is used as a bleaching agent in chemical industry. Identify ‘X’ and ‘Y’
giving the chemical equation of the reactions involved.
7. A metal carbonate ‘X’ on reacting with an acid gives a gas which when passed
through a solution ‘Y’ gives the carbonate back. Identify ‘X’ and ‘Y’.
8. You are given three solutions ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ with pH values 2, 10 and 13
respectively. Write which solution has more hydrogen ion concentration among
the three and state the nature acidic or basic of each solution.
9. a) Identify the acid and base whose combination forms the common salt that
you use in your food. Write its formula and chemical name of this salt. Name
the source from where it is obtained.
b) What is rock salt? Mention its colour and the reason due to which it has this
colour.
c) What happens when electricity is passed through brine? Write the chemical
equation for it.
10. A compound which is prepared from gypsum has the property of hardening
when mixed with proper quantity of water.
a) Identify the compound
b) Write the chemical equation for its preparation
c) Mention one important use of this compound
