Very Short Answer Type Questions [1 Mark] -Year 2009

58.In electrolysis of water, why is the volume of gas collected over one electrode double that of gas collected over the other electrode?
Answer.It is because water contains hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 2 : 1.

60. Name the products formed on strongly heating ferrous sulphate crystals. What type of chemical reaction occurs in this change?
Answer.
chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-47
It is decomposition reaction.

61. What is an oxidation reaction? Give an example of oxidation reaction. Is oxidation an exothermic or an endothermic reaction?
Answer. The reaction in which oxygen or electronegative element is added or hydrogen or electropositive element is removed or loss of electrons takes place, is called an oxidation reaction, e.g. ,
chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-48
Oxidation reactions are mostly exothermic in nature because heat is evolved in this process.


62. Describe an activity to demonstrate the change that takes place when white silver chloride is kept in sunlight. State the type of chemical reaction which takes place.
Answer.
Aim: To demonstrate the change that takes place when white silver chloride is kept in sunlight.
Materials Required: AgNO3(aq), NaCl(aq), test tubes.
chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-49
Procedure:
1. Take 5 ml of silver nitrate solution in a test tube.
2. Prepare sodium chloride solution in another test tube.
3. Add sodium chloride solution into test tube containing silver nitrate solution.
4. Observe the colour of silver chloride formed chloride to grey silver metal Dry it with the help of filter papers and place it on the watch glass.
5. Place the watch glass under sunlight for sometime.
6. Observe the colour of the silver chloride after sometime. Observation: White silver chloride turns grey in sunlight because silver metal is formed.
chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-50
Explanation: Silver chloride is photosensitive. It decomposes in presence of sunlight to form silver metal and chlorine gas.
Conclusion: Decomposition of silver chloride in presence of sunlight is photochemical decomposition reaction.


63.When magnesium ribbon burns in air or oxygen, a product is formed. State the type of chemical reaction and name the product formed in the reaction. Write balanced chemical equation of this reaction.
Answer.

chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-51
The type of reaction is combination reaction and the product formed is magnesium oxide.

64.Distinguish between a displacement reaction and a double displacement reaction. Identify the displacement and the double displacement reaction from the following reactions.
Answer.
chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-52
Displacement reaction is a reaction in which more reactive metal can displace less reactive metal from its salt solution.
Double displacement reaction are those reactions in which compounds exchange their ions to form two new compounds (?) Double displacement reaction (ii) Displacement reaction


65.When you have mixed the solutions of lead(II) nitrate and potassium iodide,
(i) what was the colour of the precipitate formed and can you name the precipitate?
(ii) write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
(iii) is this also a double displacement reaction?
Answer.
(i) The colour of the precipitate is yellow. The name of compound formed as a precipitate is Pbl2 (lead iodide).
chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-53
(iii) Yes, it is also a double displacement reaction.

66.What do you mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.
Answer.Exothermic reactions are those in which heat is evolved, e.g.
chemical-reactions-and-equations-chapter-wise-important-questions-class-10-science-54
Endothermic reactions are those reactions in which heat is absorbed, e.g.

  Revision Notes on Is matter around us Pure What is a substance? Anything that cannot be broken into further particles by applying any physical processes is called a  Substance . Matter can be classified into two types of substances – Pure substances and Mixtures What is a pure substance? A substance that consists of only one type of particle is called a  Pure Substance .  For Example , Diamond, Salt, Sulfur, Tin.  What is a mixture? When we combine different substances into each other a mixture is formed.  For Example , Lemonade is a mixture of three substances, Lemon Juice, Sugar and Water. Which of these is a mixture or a pure substance? Water, Copper, Chocolate cake, Hydrogen, Soil, Air Mixture – Chocolate cake, Soil, Air Pure substance – Water, Copper, Hydrogen Types of Mixtures There are two categories of mixtures: Homogeneous Mixtures and Heterogeneous Mixtures Homogenous Mixtures When we add sugar, water and lemon juice together they all uniformly ...

Class 10 Ch3 Metals and Nonmetals Revistion Notes

Image
  Metals:   Physical properties of metals, chemical properties of metals and non-metal oxide. Metals are the elements that conduct heat and electricity and are malleable and ductile. Examples are Iron (Fe), Aluminium (Al), Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu), Gold (Au), Platinum (Pt), Lead (Pb), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) etc. Metals are the elements which form positive ions by losing electrons. Thus, metals are known as Electropositive Elements. Physical Properties of Metals Hardness:  Most of the metals are hard, except alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, lithium, etc. are very soft metals. These can be cut by using a knife. Strength:  Most of the metals are strong and have high tensile strength. Because of this, big structures are made using metals, such as copper (Cu) and iron (Fe). (Except Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) which are soft metals). State:  Metals are solid at room temperature except for mercury (Hg). Sound:  Metal...
