Question 31.


Which of the following is/are correct with respect to the chemical reactions?


  1.     Chemical compositon changes
  2.     We can’t obtain the initial reactants by simple physical means like filtering, sedimentation etc.
  3.     Formation of no new products takes place.
  4.     Chemical properties of reactants and products are same.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Chemical compositon changes
:
A and B
In chemical reactions, the chemical composition of the reactants changes resulting in new products.
The initial reactants cannot be obtained by simple physical means like filtering, sedimentation etc.
Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield one or more products, which usually have properties different from that of the reactants.
Question 32.


Stale food gives a bad taste and because of ______.


  1.     corrosion
  2.     rusting
  3.     tanning
  4.     rancidity
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> rancidity
:
D
When food containing fats and oils come in contact with oxygen in the air, it undergoes oxidation. This causes bad smell and change in taste of food. This process is called rancidity.
Question 33.


Which of the following reaction types are true for the given reaction?
C(s)+O2 (g)CO2(g)+Heat


  1.     Combination reaction
  2.     Redox reaction
  3.     Exothermic reaction
  4.     Endothermic reaction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Endothermic reaction
:
A, B, and C
The given reaction is a combination reaction because carbon and oxygen atoms are combining to form a carbon dioxide molecule.
In the given reaction, carbon is oxidised by gaining oxygen and thus oxygen is reduced. The reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously is called as a redox reaction. So the given reaction is a redox reaction.
The given reaction is exothermic in nature since heat is released.
Question 34.


Which amongst the following can be observed when zinc granules are added to dilute hydrochloric acid taken in a test tube?


  1.     No change takes place
  2.     The colour of the solution turns yellow
  3.     A pungent smelling gas is liberated
  4.     Small bubbles are formed
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Small bubbles are formed
:
D
When zinc granules are added to dilute hydrochloric acid taken in a test tube, the zinc metal displaces the hydrogen from the acid and hydrogen gas comes out in the form of small bubbles. This is a displacement reaction. It occurs as follows:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)Zinc     Hydrochloric     Zinc             Hydrogen                  acid              chloride
Question 35.


A reddish brown gas is released on heating lead nitrate. The type of reaction involved here is:


  1.     combination reaction
  2.     displacement reaction
  3.     decomposition reaction
  4.     double displacement reaction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> decomposition reaction
:
C
A decomposition reaction is where one reactant is broken into multiple simple products.
When lead nitrate (2Pb(NO3)2) is heated, it decomposes into lead oxide (PbO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and oxygen (O2). The reaction occurs as follows:
2Pb(NO3)2(s)Heat2PbO (s)+4NO2(g)+O2(g)
The reddish brown gas released is NO2.
Question 36.


Which of the following compound is obtained when quicklime reacts with water?


  1.     Ca(NO3)2
  2.     Ca(HCO3)2
  3.     Ca(OH)2
  4.     CaCO3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Ca(OH)2
:
C
Slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) is formed when quicklime (CaO) reacts with water. The equation of the reaction is given below:

CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)+Heat


This is an example of a combination reaction because there is only one product that is being formed from the reaction between the two reactants.


Question 37.


When magnesium ribbon reacts with air, heat and light is produced. The balanced chemical equation is:


2Mg+O22MgO
The reactant(s) in the reaction is/are:


  1.     Mg
  2.     O2
  3.     MgO
  4.     Mg2O
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Mg
:
A and B

A reactant is a substance that takes part in and undergoes the chemical reaction whereas a product is a substance that is formed as the result of a chemical reaction. Reactants are written on the left side of the arrow.


The reactants in the given reaction are magnesium Mg and oxygen O2. The product formed is magnesium oxide Mg


Question 38.


Lead nitrate on thermal decomposition produces:


  1.     Lead oxide
  2.     Nitrogen dioxide
  3.     Nitrogen trioxide
  4.     Carbon dioxide
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Lead oxide
:
A and B
Lead nitrate on heating undergo thermal decomposition reaction to form a yellow residue of lead oxide, brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. The reaction occurs as follows:
2Pb(NO3)2(s)Lead nitrateHeat2PbO(s)Lead oxide+4NO2(g)Nitrogen dioxide+O2(g)Oxygen
Question 39.


When carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water,


  1.     calcium hydroxide is formed.
  2.     white precipitate of CaO is formed.
  3.     white precipitate of CaCO3 is formed.
  4.     colour of lime water disappears.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> white precipitate of CaCO3 is formed.
:
C
When CO2 is passed through lime water, a white precipitate of CaCO3 is formed, which turns lime water milky. The reaction occurs as follows:
Ca(OH)2(aq)+CO2(g)CaCO3(s)+H2O(l)
Question 40.


Which of the following is/are thermochemical reaction(s)?


  1.     CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)
  2.     Cu(s)+Zn(SO)4(aq)Cu(SO)4(aq)+Zn(s)
  3.     2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)
  4.     H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)
:
A, C, and D

CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq) CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)


2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)
H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)
In the above chemical reactions, heat is released during the reaction. These type of reactions in which heat is either released or absorbed are called as a thermochemical reaction.


Moreover, the reaction of copper with zinc sulphate will not occur and the one mentioned is incorrect as copper is less reactive than zinc so it cannot displace zinc from its aqueous solution.
