  • #1-c-ii
    ii. Copper sulphide is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid.
    Ans : A gas evolved which has the smell of rotten eggs.
  • #1-c-iii
    iii. Excess of chlorine gas is reacted with ammonia gas.
    Ans : A yellow coloured explosive is formed.
  • #1-c-iv
    iv. A few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid are added to silver nitrate solution, followed
    by the addition of ammonium hydroxide solution.
    Ans : Curdy white ppt. observed which is soluble in ``\ce{NH4OH}``.
  • #1-c-v
    v. Electricity is passed through molten lead bromide.
    Ans : Reddish brown vapours of bromine are evolved.
  • #1-d [5]
    Give suitable chemical terms for the following:
  • #1-d-i
    i. A bond formed by a shared pair of electrons with both electrons coming from the
    same atom.
    Ans : Co-ordinate bond
  • #1-d-ii
    ii. A salt formed by incomplete neutralisation of an acid by a base.
    Ans : Acidic salt
  • #1-d-iii
    iii. A reaction in which hydrogen of an alkane is INSERT IGNORE INTO d by a halogen.
    Ans : Halogenation
  • #1-d-iv
    iv. A definite number of water molecules bound to some salts.
    Ans : Water of crystallisation
  • #1-d-v
    v. The process in which a substance absorbs moisture from the atmospheric air to
    become moist and ultimately dissolves in the absorbed water.
    Ans : Deliquescence
  • #1-e [5]
    Give a chemical test to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds:
  • #1-e-i
    i. Sodium chloride solution and sodium nitrate solution
    Ans : Sodium chloride gives white ppt. with silver nitrate solution while sodium nitrate does not.
  • #1-e-ii
    ii. Hydrogen chloride gas and hydrogen sulphide gas
    Ans : Dense white fumes observed when a rod dipped in ``\ce{NH3}`` is brought to the mouth of t.t containing HCl gas. Whereas no such fumes observed in case of ``\ce{H2S}`` gas.
  • #1-e-iii
    iii. Ethene gas and ethane gas
    Ans : Ethene gas decolorises the purple colour of ``\ce{KMnO4}`` whereas no change observed with ethane.
  • #1-e-iv
    iv. Calcium nitrate solution and zinc nitrate solution
    Ans : Add NaOH solution to both the solutions. White ppt. observed with ``\ce{Zn(NO3)2}`` solution which is soluble in excess. Whereas white ppt. observed with ``\ce{Ca(NO3)2}`` which is sparingly soluble in water.
