(3) What happens when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to iron fillings?
Answer :
The answer is option – (a)
Hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced.
(4) What is a balanced chemical equation? Why should chemical equations be balanced?
Answer :
A balanced chemical equation is the equation in which number of atoms of each element is equal in both reaction and products side. In every reaction there is amount of mass of element present which are reactants from the law of mass can not be created nor destroyed means, The reactant after reaction becomes product of same amount of mass physically.
So, Total mass of element in reactant and product side should be written equally.
(5) Translate the following statements into chemical equations and then balance them.
Answer :
(a) Hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen to form ammonia.
Chemical Equation = N2 + H2 → NH3
Balance = N2 + 3H2 → 2[NH3]
(b) Hydrogen sulphide gas burns in air to give water and sulpur dioxide
Chemical Equation = H2S + O2 → SO2 + H2O
Balance = 2H2S +3O2 → 2SO2 + 2H2O
(c) Barium chloride reacts with aluminium sulphate to give aluminium chloride And a precipitate of barium sulphate.
Chemical Equation = BaCl2 + Al2 [SO4]3 → AlCl3 + BaSO4
Balance = 3BaCl2 + Al2 [SO4]3 → 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4
(d) Potassium metal reacts with water to give potassium hydroxide and hydrogen Gas
Chemical Equation = K + H2O → KOH + H2
Balance = 2K + 2H2O → 2KOH + H2
(6) Balance the following chemical equations
Answer :
(a) HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O
= 2HNO3 + Ca[OH]2 → Ca[NO3]2 + H2O
(b) NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4+ H2O
= 2[NAOH] + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
(c) NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3
= NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3
(d) BaCl2 + H2SO4 → BaSO4 + HCl
= BaCl2 + H2SO4 → BaSO4+2HCl
(7) Write the balanced chemical equations for the following reactions.
Answer :
(a) Calcium hydroxide + Carbon dioxide → Calcium carbonate + Water
= 2[CaOH] + CO2 → Ca2CO3 + H2O
(b) Zinc + Silver nitrate → Zinc nitrate + Silver
= Zn +AgNO3 → Zn NO3 + Ag
(c) Aluminium + Copper chloride → Aluminium chloride + Copper
= Al + CuCl2 → Alcl2 + Cu
(d) Barium chloride + Potassium sulphate → Barium sulphate + Potassium chloride
= BaCl2 + KSO4 → BaSO4 + Kcl2
(8) Write the balanced chemical equation for the following and identify the type of Reaction in each case.
Answer :
(a) Potassium bromide(aq) + Barium iodide(aq) → Potassium iodide(aq) + Barium bromide(s)
= Br + BaI2 → KI + BaBr2
= Double displacement Reaction
(b) Zinc carbonate(s) → Zinc oxide(s) + Carbon dioxide(g)
= ZnCO3 → ZnO + CO2
= Decomposition Reaction
(c) Hydrogen(g) + Chlorine(g) → Hydrogen chloride(g)
= H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl
= Combination Reaction
(d) Magnesium(s) + Hydrochloric acid(aq) → Magnesium chloride(aq) + Hydrogen(g)
= Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2
= Displacement Reaction
(9) What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.
Answer :
Exothermic and endothermic reactions means –
Reaction in which heat is released along with the formation of products is called exothermic chemical reaction.
i.e. burning of natural gas
CH4 [g] + 2O2 [g] → CO2 [g] + 2H2O [g]
Methane Oxygen Carbone dioxide Water
In this reaction large amount of heat is extracted. Which make this reaction warm.
Reaction in which energy is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions.
i.e. 2AgBr [s] → 2Ag[s] + Br2 [g]
Silver Bromide silver Bromine
In above reaction decomposition takes energy by sunlight. Mostly decomposition reactions take energy in the form of heat, sunlight or electricity.
(10) Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction? Explain.
Answer :
Respiration considered an exothermic reaction because –
C6H12O6 [aq] + 6O2 [aq] → 6CO2 + 6H2O [l]
Glucose Oxygen Carbon dioxide Water
The above reaction is decomposition type of reaction. we know that work require energy. Our body does regular activity like respiration, digestion, movement, excretion, sleeping, eating. we get this energy from food we eat.
Firstly, food is digested into carbohydrates, protein, fat then this substance further break down into glucose and lastly glucose reacts with oxygen we inhale to form energy and water (Urine) and carbon dioxide we exhale.
(11) Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions? Write equations for these reactions.
Answer :
Decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions because –
C [s] + O2 [g] → CO2 [g] + heat
Carbon Oxygen Carbon Dioxide
Reaction in which single product is formed from two or more reactants is known as combination reaction. Combination reaction release heat(energy) and they are exothermic.
CaCO3 [s] → CaO [s] + CO2 [g]
Limestone quick lime Carbon Dioxide
Reaction in which single reactant break down to give simpler products called as decomposition reaction. Decomposition reaction absorbs energy and they are endothermic.
