Class 10 Chemistry

Chapter: Acids, Bases, and Salts

Time: 1 Hour

Maximum Marks: 30

Section A: Assertion and Reasoning Questions

(Each question carries 1 mark, total 10 marks)

1. Assertion: Dilute HCl reacts with magnesium ribbon to produce hydrogen gas.

Reason: Magnesium is more reactive than hydrogen.

2. Assertion: Sodium hydroxide turns red litmus blue.

Reason: Sodium hydroxide is a basic substance.

3. Assertion: Baking soda is used in antacids to neutralize excess stomach acid.

Reason: Baking soda is acidic in nature.

4. Assertion: Limewater turns milky when carbon dioxide gas is passed through it.

Reason: Carbon dioxide reacts with calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate.

5. Assertion: Acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution.

Reason: Acids are proton donors in aqueous solutions.

6. Assertion: A strong acid has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than a weak acid of the same
concentration.

Reason: A strong acid ionizes completely in water.

7. Assertion: Lemon juice is more acidic than vinegar.

Reason: Lemon juice contains citric acid, whereas vinegar contains acetic acid.

8. Assertion: Ammonia solution in water acts as a base.

Reason: Ammonia produces hydroxide ions in water.

9. Assertion: NaCl solution is neutral.

Reason: NaCl is a salt formed from a strong acid and a strong base.
10.Assertion: Sulphuric acid is more corrosive than acetic acid.

Reason: Sulphuric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.
