NCERT SOLUTION 10th chemical Reaction and Equations

NCERT Science Textbook In-Text Questions 

Q.1: Why should magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air ?
Ans: Magnesium ribbon is a very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide being a stable compound prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium is cleaned before burning in air to remove this layer so that the metal can be exposed to air properly. 
Q.2: Write the balanced equation for the following chemical reactions:
(i) Hydrogen + Chlorine --> Hydrogen chloride
(ii) Sodium + Water --> Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen
Ans:
(i) H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) --> 2HCl (g)
(ii) 2Na (s) + 2H2O (liq) --> 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g).
Q.3: Write a balanced chemical equation with state symbols for the following chemical reactions:
(i) Solution of barium chloride and sodium sulphate in water to give insoluble barium sulphate and the solution of sodium chloride.
(ii) Sodium hydroxide solution (in water) react with hydrochloric acid solution (in water) to produce sodium chloride and water. 
Ans:           (i) BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) --> BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
                     (ii) NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) --> NaCl (aq) + H2O (liq)
Q.1: A reaction of a substance X is used for white washing.
(i) Name the substance X and write its formula.
(ii) Write the reaction of the substance X named in (i) above with water.
Ans:
(i) The substance X is lime which is used for white washing. Its formula is CaO.
(ii) CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 + Heat
Q.2: Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in Activity 1.7, double of the amount collected in the other ? Name this gas. 
Ans: water contains two parts of hydrogen and one part oxygen. Therefore, during the electrolysis of water the amount of hydrogen gas collected in one of the test tubes is double than that of the oxygen produced and collected in the other test tube. 
(Page 13)
Q.1: Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it ? 
Ans: Iron is more reactive than copper. So, when an iron nail is dipped in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from its solution to form iron sulphate, which is green in color.
Fe (s) + CuSO4 (aq) --> FeSO4 (aq) + Cu (s) 
Hence, the blue color of copper sulphate solution changes into green color because of this displacement reaction. 
Q.2: Give an example of the double displacement reaction other than the one given in Activity 1.10.
Ans: When lead (II) nitrate is mixed with potassium iodide, potassium nitrate and lead iodide are formed.
Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI --> 2KNO3 + PbI2
Na2CO3 (aq) + CaCl2 (aq) --> CaCO3 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)
Here sodium carbonate and calcium chloride exchange ions to form two new compounds.
Q.3: Identify the substances that are oxidized and the substances that are reduced in the following reactions:

Q.4: What is a balanced chemical equation ? Why should chemical equation be balanced ?
Ans: An equation having an equal number of atoms of each element on both the sides is called a balanced chemical equation.
According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In other words, the total mass of reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products in a chemical equation. Therefore, the total number atoms of each element participating in the reaction must be equal on both sides of the chemical equation i.e. before and after reaction. Hence, it is for the above reason that a chemical equation should be balanced.

Q.9: What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.
Ans:Exothermic reactions: Those reactions in which energy is released in the form of heat are called exothermic reactions. Examples -
(1) All combustion reactions e.g.  CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat
(2) Thermite reactions e.g.           2Al + Fe2O3 ---> 2Fe + Al2O3 + Heat
Combinations are generally exothermic in nature. The decomposition of organic matters into compost is an example of exothermic reaction.
Endothermic reactions: Those reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions. Examples CaCO3 ------> Cao + O2
also, the reaction of photosynthesis -
6CO2 + 6H20  (SUNLIGHT AND CHLOROPHYL)--->C6H12O6+6O2
Q.10: Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction? Explain.
Ans: For the sustenance of life we require energy. We obtain this energy from our food. In the process of digestion, food molecules get converted into simpler substances such as, glucose. Then glucose combine with oxygen and provide energy to our body. The whole process is known as respiration. As because, energy is released during the process of respiration, so it is considered an exothermic reaction. For example,
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Q.11: Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions? Write equations for these reactions.
Ans: Decomposition reactions are those reactions in which a compound is broken into two or more new compounds.
                   Heat
CaCO3 -----------------> Cao + O2


Combination reactions are those reactions in which two substances are combined to form a new substance.          
CaO + CO2 ---> CaCO3 + energy
In above examples, both the reactions are same but show opposite directions, so decomposition reaction is called the opposite of combination reaction.
Q.12: Write one equation each for decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the form of heat, light or electricity.  
Ans:
(a) Decomposition by heat or thermal energy
                   Heat
CaCO3 -----------------> Cao + O2
(b) Decomposition by light or photolysis
2AgCl ---> 2Ag + Cl2 (in presence of light)
(c) Decomposition by electricity or electrolysis

               electricity

2H2O------------------>2H2 +O2
Q.13: What is the difference between the displacement and double displacement reactions? Write equations for these reactions.  
Ans: In displacement reaction, one element from its salt is displaced by a more reactive element e.g. in following example, Cu is displaced by Zn from CuSO4 because Zn is more reactive.
CuSO4 + Zn ---> ZnSO4 + Cu  
In double displacement reaction, exchange of ions takes place between two reactants to form new products.
Na2SO4 + BaCl2 ---> BaSO4 + 2NaCl
Q.14: In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.   
Ans: When copper is mixed in silver nitrate solution, it displaces the silver because copper is more reactive than silver.
2AgNO3 + Cu ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
Q.15: What do you mean by a precipitation reaction? Explain by giving examples.
Ans: The reactions in which a precipitate is formed are called precipitation reactions. Examples:
1. Na2SO4 + BaCl2 ---> BaSO4 + 2NaCl
In this reaction, BaSO4 is obtained as precipitate.
2. Na2CO3 + CaCl2 ---> CaCO3 + 2NaCl
Here calcium carbonate is obtained as precipitate.
Q.16: Explain the following in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples each.
          (a).Oxidation
          (b).Reduction
Ans:
(a) Oxidation: The reactions in which gain of oxygen takes place are called oxidation. Examples -
1. 2Cu + O2 ---> 2CuO
2. 2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O
(b) Reduction: The reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place are called reduction. Examples -  
1. ZnO + C ---> Zn + CO
2. CuO + H2 ---> Cu + H2O
Q.17: A shiny brown coloured element ‘X’ on heating in air becomes black in colour. Name the element ‘X’ and the black coloured compound formed.
Ans: The shinny brown colored element ‘X’ is copper. When it is heated in air, it becomes black due to the deposit of copper oxide. 2Cu + O2 ----------------heat--> 2CuO
Q.18: Why do we apply paint on iron articles ?
Ans: We apply paint on iron articles to prevent them from corrosion. Paint prevents iron from coming in contact with air and moisture. Thus, painting prevents rusting of iron articles.  
Q.19: Oil and fat containing food items are flushed with nitrogen. Why ?
Ans: Nitrogen being an inert gas does not react easily with the oil and fat present in the food substances. But oxygen reacts easily with the food substances and makes them rancid.  It is because of this reason that food items containing oil and fat are flushed with nitrogen gas before their packingto remove oxygen present in the pack.
Q.20: Explain the following terms with an example each:
(a) Corrosion (b) Rancidity
Ans:
(a) Corrosion: Corrosion is a process in which materials deteriorate as a result of a chemical reaction with moisture and other chemicals present in its surroundings.  Generally, metals get corroded more easily. For example, iron in the presence of moisture, reacts with oxygen  (air) to form hydrated iron oxide also called Rust.
4Fe + 3O2 +nH2O ---> 2Fe2O3.nH2O
(b) Rancidity: It is a process of oxidation in which fats and oils present in food items are oxidized that can be easily noticed by the change in their taste and smell.
Rancidity can be prevented by:
1. Storing food in refrigerators or in air-tight containers.
2. Flushing oil and fat containing food items with nitrogen before their packing.
3. By adding anti-oxidant
