Section A 10 x 1 = 10
1) Name the acid present in i) Vinegar ii) Tamarind
2) Explain how antacid works.
3) Name the products obtained when sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated. Write the chemical equation for the same.
4) Identify the compound oxidized in the following reaction: H2S (g) + Cl2 S (s) + HCl (g)
5) Name the reaction which forms insoluble salts.
6) Ferric oxide reacts with aluminum to produce aluminum oxide and iron. The balanced chemical equation for the given
reaction is Fe2O3 + 2Al Al2O3 + 2Fe
Which substances is oxidized in the given reaction?
7) White silver chloride changes to grey in sunlight because of the formation of silver metal along with the evolution of
chlorine gas. Write the chemical equation that gives the correct representation.
8) Arrange these in increasing order of their pH values- NaOH, blood, lemon juice.
9) Give Arrhenius definition of an acid and a base.
10) Give one example of a combination reaction in which an element combines with a compound to give you a new compound.
Section B 5 x 2 = 10
11) Rancidity is a process used for spoiling of cooked food materials like vegetables, etc. When kept for long time in open.
How can you prevent such process to proceed? Give an example
12) In one of the industrial process used for manufacture of sodium hydroxide, a gas ‘X‘ is formed as by – product. The gas
‘X‘ reacts with lime water to give a compound ‘Y‘ which is used as a bleaching agent in chemical industry. Identify ‘X‘
and ‘Y‘ giving the chemical equation of the reaction.
13) What is baking powder? How does it make the cake soft and spongy?
14) What is corrosion? State the conditions necessary for rusting of iron. How rusting is harmful?

Section C 5 x 3 = 15
16) Blue crystals of copper sulphate on heating in a dry test tube become colourless. Give reasons
17) A) Why can not a chemical change be normally reversed?
B) Why is it always essential to balance a chemical equation?
C) What happens when CO2 gas is passed through lime water and why does it disappear on passing excess CO 2?
18) A) A shiny brown colored element ‘X‘ on heating in air becomes a black coloured compound. Name the element ‘X‘ and
black the coloured compound formed. Also write the equation
B) Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction? Explain
19) A) Dry hydrogen chloride gas does not turn blue litmus, whereas hydrochloric acid does. Why?
B) Fresh milk has a pH Of 6. When it changes to curd, will its pH value increase or decrease? Why?
20) A) How does the flow of acid rain water into a river make the survival of aquatic life in a river difficult?
B) A grey coloured metal 'Z‘ (Atomic weight=65) is used in making dry cell. It reacts with dil. HCl to liberate a gas. What
is the gas evolved? Calculate the minimum amount of 'Z‘ required to produce 100 l 0f gas?
