Question 2013-1

State two observations when

(i) Lead nitrate crystals are heated in a hard glass test tube.

(ii) A few crystals of KNO₃ are heated in a hard glass tube

Solution 2013-1

(i) Lead nitrate decrepitates on heating; a yellow solid is formed and it fuses with glass. Lead nitrate decomposes to lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.

(ii) Oxygen is evolved.

2KNO₃→ 2KNO₂ + O₂

Question 2013-2

Give a chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:

(i) Sodium chloride solution and sodium nitrate solution

(ii) Hydrogen chloride gas and hydrogen sulphide gas

(iii) Calcium nitrate gas and sulphur diaoxide gas

(iv) Carbon dioxide gas and sulphur dioxide gas

Solution 2013-2

(i) Add silver nitrate solution to both solutions. Sodium chloride will form a curdy white ppt., whereas sodium nitrate will not undergo any reaction.

(ii) Hydrogen chloride gas gives thick white fumes of ammonium chloride when a glass rod dipped in ammonia solution is held near the vapour of the acid, whereas no white fumes are observed in case of hydrogen sulphide gas.

(iii) Calcium nitrate forms no ppt. even with addition of excess of NH₄OH, whereas zinc nitrate forms a white gelatinous ppt. which dissolves in excess of NH₄OH.

(iv) Carbon dioxide gas has no effect on acidified KMnO₄ or K₂Cr₂O₇, but sulphur dioxide turns potassium permanganate from pink to colourless.

Question 2013-3

Distinguish between the following pairs of compounds using the test given with brackets :

Dilute sulphuric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid (using barium chloride solution)

Solution 2013-3

Sulphuric acid precipitates the insoluble sulphate of barium from the solution of barium chloride.

BaCl₂ + H₂SO₄→ BaSO₄ + 2HCl

Dilute HCl does not react with barium chloride solution, and thus, no precipitate is produced in the reaction.

Question 2014-1

State the inference drawn from the following observations :

(i) On Carrying out the flame test with a salt P a brick red flame was obtained. What is the cation in P?

(ii) A gas Q turns moist lead acetate paper silvery black. Identify the gas Q.

(iii) pH of liquid R is 10. What kind of substance is R?

(iv) Salt S is prepared by reacting dilute sulphuric acid with copper oxide Identify S.

Solution 2014-1

(i) On carrying out the flame test with a salt P, a brick red flame is obtained. Hence, the cation P is Ca²⁺.

(ii) A gas Q turns moist lead acetate paper silvery black. Hence, the gas is H₂S.

(iii) pH of liquid R is 10. Hence, substance R is a base.

(iv) Salt S is prepared by reacting dilute sulphuric acid with copper oxide. Hence, salt S is copper sulphate.

Question 2014-2

State your observation in each of the following cases:

(i) When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to sodium carbonate crystals

(ii) When excess sodium hydroxide is added to calcium nitrate solution

(iii) At the cathode when acidified aqueous copper sulphate solution is electrolyzed with copper electrodes

(iv) When calcium hydroxide is heated with ammonium chloride crystals

(v) When moist starch iodide paper is introduced into chlorine gas

Solution 2014-2

(i) Sodium carbonate crystals on reaction with dilute HCl form sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide, which is evolved with brisk effervescence. This is a neutralisation reaction as sodium carbonate is a basic salt, while hydrochloric acid is an acid. The chemical equation for this reaction is as follows:

Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl → 2NaCl +H₂O + CO₂

(ii) Calcium nitrate solution on reaction with excess of sodium hydroxide produces calcium hydroxide and sodium nitrate. Calcium nitrate reacts with excess of sodium hydroxide to form a white precipitate of calcium hydroxide, which is sparingly soluble, and colourless sodium nitrate. The reaction is as follows:

Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

(iii) Acidified aqueous copper sulphate solution is electrolysed with copper electrodes by electrolysis. The electrolysis of an aqueous solution of copper sulphate using copper electrodes (i.e. using active electrodes) results in the transfer of copper metal from the anode to the cathode during electrolysis. Copper sulphate is ionised in aqueous solution.

Chemical equation:

CuSO₄ → Cu²⁺ + SO₄^2-

The positively charged copper ions migrate to the cathode, where each gains two electrons to become copper atoms which are deposited on the cathode.

Cu²⁺ + 2e^- → Cu

Hence, the colour of copper sulphate changes from blue to colourless.

(iv) When ammonium chloride is heated with calcium hydroxide, ammonia gas is released.

2NH₄Cl + Ca(OH)₂→ CaCl₂ + 2NH₃ + 2H₂O

The liberated gas turns red litmus blue.

(v) When moist starch iodide paper is introduced into chlorine gas, chlorine oxidises iodide to iodine, which shows up as blue when it forms a complex with starch.
