Question 1.
\nYou have been provided with three test tubes. One of them contains distilled water and the other two contain an acidic solution and a basic solution, respectively. If you are given only red litmus paper, how will you identify the contents of each test tube?
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

We can identify the contents of each test tube, with the help of red litmus paper. Consider the following observations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If there is little change in the colour of red litmus (such as purple), then it is distilled water.<\/li>\n
  2. If the colour of red litmus remains the same, then it is acid.<\/li>\n
  3. If the colour of red litmus becomes blue, then it is base.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Question 1.
    \nWhy should curd and sour substances not be kept in brass and copper vessels?
    \nAnswer:
    \nCurd and sour substances contain acid. If we keep curd and sour substances in brass and copper vessel, Nitrogen gas and other harmful products are formed which spoil the food.<\/p>\n

    Question 2.
    \nWhich 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?
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    Hydrogen gas is usually liberated when an acid reacts with a metal. Let us illustrate it with the following examples:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Add some pieces of zinc granules into 5ml of a dilute solution of sulphuric acid (H2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub>).<\/li>\n
    2. Shake it well.<\/li>\n
    3. Pass the produced gas into a soap solution.<\/li>\n
    4. Now, soap bubbles are formed in the soap solution and these soap bubbles contain hydrogen.<\/li>\n
    5. Bring a burning candle near a gas-filled bubble. A candle burns with a pop sound. So, the following reaction takes place:
      \nH2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub>(aq) + Zn(s) \u2192 ZnSO4<\/sub>(aq) + H2<\/sub>\u2191<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 3.
      \nMetal 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.
      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \"KSEEB<\/p>\n

      Reaction of zinc granules with dilute sulphuric acid and testing hydrogen Acids Bases and Salts.<\/p>\n

      Take about 5 ml of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add a few pieces of zinc granutes to it. Pass the gas being evolved through the soap solution. Bubbles are formed in the soap solution, because in soap solution there is hydrogen gas.
      \nH2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub> + Zn \u279d ZnSO4<\/sub> + H2<\/sub>\u2191<\/p>\n

      If we take a burning candle near a gas filled bubble, it burns with a pop sound.<\/p>\n

      Question 1.
      \nWhy do HCl, HNO3<\/sub>, etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?
      \nAnswer:
      \nHydrogen ions in HCl and HNO3<\/sub> are produced in the presence of water. Hydrogen ions cannot exist alone, but they exist after combining with water molecules. Thus hydrogen ions must always be shown as (aq) or hydronium ion (H3O+<\/sup>)
      \nThe reaction is
      \nHCl(aq)<\/sub> \u279d H+<\/sup> + Cl–<\/sup>
      \nH+<\/sup> + H2<\/sub>O \u279d H3<\/sub>O+<\/sup>
      \nAlcohol and glucose even though they contain Hydrogen they do not show acidic character like HCl and HNO3<\/sub>.<\/p>\n

      Question 2.
      \nWhy does an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity?
      \nAnswer:
      \nDue to the presence of hydrogen (H+<\/sup>) or hydronium (H3<\/sub>O+<\/sup>) ions, an aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity.<\/p>\n

      Question 3.
      \nWhy does dry HCl gas not change the colour of the dry litmus paper?
      \nAnswer:
      \nHydrogen ions change the colour of litmus. In dry HCl, there are no H+<\/sup> ions. Ions are formed in aqueous solution. Both HCl and litmus are dry. Hence there is no change in dry HCL and dry litmus paper.<\/p>\n

      Question 4.
      \nWhile diluting an acid, why is it recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid?
      \nAnswer:
      \nIt is recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid while diluting an acid because the process is exothermic and lots of heat is generated which may cause the mixture to splash out or cause burns.<\/p>\n

      Question 5.
      \nHow is the concentration of hydronium ions (H3<\/sub>O+<\/sup>) affected when a solution of an acid is diluted?
      \nAnswer.
      \nWhen a solution of an acid is diluted, the concentration of hydronium ions (H3<\/sub>O+<\/sup>) per unit volume decreases which also decreases the strength of the acid. The dilution increases the volume of the solution but the concentration of ions remain the same.<\/p>\n

      Question 6.
      \nHow is the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH–<\/sup>) affected when excess base is dissolved in a solution of sodium hydroxide?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe concentration of hydroxide ions (OH–<\/sup>) would increase when excess base is dissolved in a solution of sodium hydroxide.
      \nNaOH \\(\\overset { { H }_{ 2 }O }{ \\rightleftharpoons } \\) Na+<\/sup> + OH–<\/sup>
      \nBeing a strong base, hydroxide ions are formed on complete dissolution.<\/p>\n

      Question 1.
      \nYou have two solutions, A and B. The pH of solution A is 6 and pH of solution B is 8. Which solution has more hydrogen ion concentration? Which of this is acidic and which one is basic?
      \nAnswer:
      \nIf the pH value is less than 7, it represents an acidic solution.
      \nIf the pH value is more than 7, it represents a base.
      \nIt the pH – 6 is acidic it has more concentration of ions than pH-8 which is a base.<\/p>\n

      Question 2.
      \nWhat effect does the concentration of H+(aq) ions have on the nature of the solution?
      \nAnswer:
      \nAcids contain more concentration of H+<\/sup> ions. If the concentration is less solution is base.<\/p>\n

      Question 3.
      \nDo basic solutions also have H+<\/sup>(aq) ions? If yes, then why are these basic?
      \nAnswer:
      \nYes, the basic solution also has H+<\/sup>\u00a0ions. However, their concentration is less as compared to the concentration of OH–<\/sup> ions that makes the solution basic.<\/p>\n

      Question 4.
      \nUnder what soil condition do you think a farmer would treat the soil of his fields with quick lime (calcium oxide) or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) or chalk (calcium carbonate)?
      \nAnswer:
      \nIf the soil has more acid it is not suitable for agriculture. To increase fertility former should add burnt lime stone or chalk powder.<\/p>\n

      Question 6.
      \nCompounds such as alchohols and glucose also contain hydrogen but are not categorised as acids. Describe an Activity to prove it.
      \nSolution:
      \nTake solutions of alcohols, glucose in a beaker, take a cork and fix two nails on the cork up to the end. Connect the nails to two terminals of a 6-volt battery through a bulb and a switch. Switch on the current. You will see that bulb does not glow or the current does not pass through the circuit. This means no ions or H+<\/sup> ions are present in the solution. This shows that alcohols and glucose are not acids.<\/p>\n

      Question 7.
      \nWhy does distilled water not conduct electricity, whereas rain water does?
      \nAnswer:
      \nDistilled water is pure form of water. This do not contain ions. No electricity flows in distilled water. But rain water is impure and contains ionic groups.
      \nEx: Acids. Hence rain water is conductor of electricity.<\/p>\n

      Question 8.
      \nWhy do acids not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water?
      \nAnswer:
      \nAcids do not show acidic behaviour in the absence of water because the dissociation of hydrogen ions from an acid occurs in the presence of water only.<\/p>\n

      Question 9.
      \nFive solutions A, B, C, D and E when tested with universal indicator showed pH as 4, 1, 11, 7 and 9, respectively. Which solution is
      \na) neutral?
      \nb) strongly alkaline?
      \nc) strongly acidic?
      \nd) weakly acidic?
      \ne) weakly alkaline?
      \nArrange the pH in increasing order of hydrogen-ion concentration.
      \nAnswer:
      \n(a) Neutral \u2192 Solution D with pH7.

      \n(d) Weakly acidic \u2192 Solution A with pH4.
      \n(e) Weakly alkaline \u2192 Solution E with pH9.
      \nThe pH can be arranged in the increasing order of the concentration of hydrogen ions as: 11 < 9 < 7 < 4 < 1 or (c) < (e) < (d) < (a) < (b)<\/p>\n

      Question 10.
      \nEqual lengths of magnesium ribbons are taken in test tubes A and B. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to test tube A, while acetic acid (CH3<\/sub>COOH) is added to test tube B. Amount and concentration taken for both the acids are same. In which test tube will the fizzing occur more vigorously and why?
      \nAnswer:
      \nFizzing will occur more vigorously in test tube. A containing hydrochloric acid. This is because hydrochloric acid is stronger acid than acetic acid and reaction between magnesium ribbon and HCl is faster than between Mg and acetic acid.<\/p>\n

      Question 11.
      \nFresh milk has a pH of 6. How do you think the pH will change as it turns into curd? Explain your answer.
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe pH of milk is 6. As it changes into curd, the pH will reduce as during curd formation lactose (sugar) present in milk gets converted into lactic acid. Therefore, the curd is acidic in nature. The acids present in it decrease the pH.<\/p>\n

      Question 12.
      \nA milkman adds a very small amount of baking soda to fresh milk.
      \na) Why does he shift the pH of the fresh milk from 6 to slightly alkaline?
      \nb) Why does this milk take a long time to set as curd?
      \nAnswer:
      \na) Milkman shift the pH of the fresh milk from 6 to slightly alkaline. In this condition milk is not converted into curd as it is in alkaline state.<\/p>\n

      b) This milk is alkaline. Acids combining with base and becomes neutral. Hence it takes more time to convert into curd.<\/p>\n

      Question 13.
      \nPlaster of Paris should be stored in a moisture-proof container. Explain why?
      \nAnswer:
      \nPlaster of paris should be stored in a moisture proof container. Because plaster of paris absorbs moisture and forms solids. This is called gypsum.

      Question 14.
      \nWhat is a neutralisation reaction? Give two examples.
      \nAnswer:
      \nWhen an acid and base react with each other to give a salt and water, it is termed as neutralisation reaction i.e.,
      \nAcid + Base \u2192 Salt + Water
      \nFor example:
      \nNaOH + HCl \u2192 NaCl + H2<\/sub>O.
      \nHNO3<\/sub> + KOH \u2192 KNO3<\/sub> + H2<\/sub>O.<\/p>\n
