CBSE Board Important Question For SA_1-2014



10th Chemistry Some Important CBSE BOARD Question solution

Q. An aluminium can is used to store ferrous sulphate solution. It is observed that in a few days

holes appeared in the can. Explain the cause for this observation and write chemical equation to support your answer

Ans: Reactivity of aluminium is far mor than iron(Fe). Because of high reactivity aluminium displaces iron from its sulphate solution and made its sulphate sulution i.e. , aluminium sulphate. and thats why holes appeared.

2Al + 3FeSO4 = Al2(SO4)3 +3 Fe

Q. What do you mean by the term hydrated salt? Give two examples of hydrated salts which are white and state their chemical formula. Why is tooth paste used for cleaning teeth?

Ans: Hydrated salts are those salts which contains some water of crystallization.

For example: MgSO4.7H2O,SnCl2.2H2O

When we wake up at morning our mouth contains sliva of pH=4.1(acidic) due to presence of more lactic acid, which can decay our teeth so we use toothpaste which contains some alkaline compound which neutralizes the acidity of our mouth and protect from decaiying of teeth.

Q.Why do we store silver chloride in dark bottles?

An: we store silver chloride in dark bottles because of to prevent them from direct sunlight .when silver chloride is exposed to light , it decomposes to form silver metal chlorine gas .

2AgCl ----> 2Ag +Cl2

Q. What Happens When Chlorine Is Passed Over dry Slaked Lime? Write The chemical equation involved in the reaction. mention Three properties Of The Product?

Ans: When chlorine is passed through dry slaked lime power Ca(OH)2 , bleaching powder is obtained .

Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 ------> CaOCl2 + H2O

CaOCl2 is bleaching powder

The three properties Of bleaching powder , (CaOCl2) are

It is a yellowish white powder with a strong smell of chlorine

It reacts with carbon dioxide , dil. HCl and di. H2SO4 to form chlorine gas.

It is soluble in water but since it is generally contaminated with Ca(OH)2 , it may produce a milky solution.

Q. why zinc is used in the galvanization of iron and not the copper?

Ans: Zinc is more reactive than iron, it is used to protect it from corrosion because when oxygen in the air reacts with the surface of zinc, a very dense and impermeable coating of zinc oxide is formed and it is this physical barrier that protects the zinc surface from further attack.

Copper is a less reactive metal and it is difficult to form alloys with iron and go on a separate layer. Therefore it is not used for galvanization.

Q. why does the colour of copper sulphate crystals change on heating ?

Answer: The colour of the compound before heating is blue, and after heating is white-grey because the water molecules are lost on heating and copper sulphate pentahydrate is converted to anhydrous copper sulphate.

CuSO4 . 5H2O ---Heat--à CuSO4 + 5H2O

10th SA-1-Acid Base and Salt Trend Setter Question Paper

1: Which gas is usually liberated when an acid reacts with a metal? Illustrate with an example. How will you test for the presence of this gas?

Ans: Hydrogen gas is usually liberated when an acid reacts with a metal.fig 2.1 page 19  
Take few pieces of zinc granules and add 5 ml of dilute H2SO4. Shake it and pass the gas produced into a soap solution. The bubbles of the soap solution are formed. These soap bubbles contain hydrogen gas.                 
2H2SO4    +     Zn   →  Zn(SO4)2   +  2H2  
We can test the evolved hydrogen gas by its burning with a pop sound when a candle is brought near the soap bubbles.

2: Metal compound A reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce effervescence. The gas evolved extinguishes a burning candle. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction if one of the compounds formed is calcium chloride.

             CaCO3  (s)   +    HCI(aq)    →   
CaCI2(aq) + CO2   + HO (I)

3 : Why do HCl, HNO3, etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?

Ans: The dissociation of HCl or HNO3 to form hydrogen ions always occurs in the presence of water. Hydrogen ions (H+) combine with H2O to form hydronium ions (H3O+).     
HCI -------->   H+  +  CI –      H+     +     HO -->   HO+
Although aqueous solutions of glucose and alcohol contain hydrogen, these cannot dissociate in water to form hydrogen ions. Hence, they do not show acidic character.

4  Why does an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity?

Ans.:   Acids dissociate in aqueous solutions to form ions. These ions are responsible for conduction of electricity.

5.   Why does dry HCl gas not change the colour of the dry litmus paper?

Ans. : Colour of the litmus paper is changed by the hydrogen ions. Dry HCl gas does not contain H+ ions. It is only in the aqueous solution that an acid dissociates to give ions. Since in this case, neither HCl is in the aqueous form nor the litmus paper is wet, therefore, the colour of the litmus paper does not change.

6. While diluting an acid, why is it recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid?

Ans.:  Since the process of dissolving an acid in water is exothermic, it is always recommended that acid should be added to water. If it is done the other way, then it is possible that because of the large amount of heat generated, the mixture splashes out and causes burns

7: How is the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) affected when a solution of an acid is diluted?

Ans. : When an acid is diluted, the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) per unit volume decreases. This means that the strength of the acid decreases.

Q 1.What are indicators ? Name some common indicators

Ans. Indicators are substances that undergo definite color change in acids and bases solution. Some common indicators are – Litmus solution, methyl orange, phenolphthalein etc.

Q.2. What are alkalis? Write three examples.

Ans. The bases which dissolve in water to give OHions in solution are called alkalis, such as- NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2.
Q3. While diluting the acid, why is it recommended that acids should be added to water and not water to acid?

Ans. Mixing of water and acid is a highly exothermic process. When water is added to acid , due to small amount of water, evolved heat will change it to vapour and acid will spill out and may cause injury. So it is advised to mix acid to water and not water to acid.

Q4. Write the composition of baking powder. What will happen if tartaric acid is not added to it?

Ans. Baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and tartaric acid. This acid neutralizes sodium carbonate formed on decomposition of baking soda. If tartaric acid is not present in baking powder‘, the food materials such as cake will taste bitter due to the presence of sodium carbonate.

2. It is used to bleach cotton and paper
Q.6. A student working in the laboratory added some water to a syrupy liquid taken in a tube. The tube immediately cracked and the liquid which escaped out of it, produced blisters on the skin of the student. What actually happened?
Ans. The syrupy liquid was concentrated sulphuric acid. On adding water, large amount of heat is released. For this reason the tube cracked and the acid produced blisters on the skin.
Q.7. The pH of rain water collected from two cities A and B was found to be 6 and 5 respectively. Water of which city is more acidic? Find out the ratio of hydrogen ion concentration in the two samples of the rain water.
Ans. Rain water with pH 5 obtained from city B is more acidic than the rain water of city A. The ratio of hydrogen ion concentration can be calculated as below: For city
A: pH= -log[H+]=1
6= -log[H+]
Log[H+]= -6
[H+]= 10-6
Similarly,
for city B,
we can have [H+]=10-5
Ratio of [H+] of samples
= 10-6/10-5
= 1/10
Q.8. A compound X of sodium is commonly used for making crispy pakoras. It is also used for curing acidity in the stomach. Identify ‗X‘. What is its formula? State the reaction that takes place when it is heated.

Ans. The compound X is baking soda, a constituent of baking powder. Its chemical name is sodium hydrogen carbonate and its formula is NaHCO3.
