- #1-c-iiii. Copper sulphide is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid.Ans : A gas evolved which has the smell of rotten eggs.
- #1-c-iiiiii. Excess of chlorine gas is reacted with ammonia gas.Ans : A yellow coloured explosive is formed.
- #1-c-iviv. 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-vv. 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-ii. A bond formed by a shared pair of electrons with both electrons coming from the
same atom.Ans : Co-ordinate bond
- #1-d-iiii. A salt formed by incomplete neutralisation of an acid by a base.Ans : Acidic salt
- #1-d-iiiiii. A reaction in which hydrogen of an alkane is INSERT IGNORE INTO d by a halogen.Ans : Halogenation
- #1-d-iviv. A definite number of water molecules bound to some salts.Ans : Water of crystallisation
- #1-d-vv. 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-ii. Sodium chloride solution and sodium nitrate solutionAns : Sodium chloride gives white ppt. with silver nitrate solution while sodium nitrate does not.
- #1-e-iiii. Hydrogen chloride gas and hydrogen sulphide gasAns : 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-iiiiii. Ethene gas and ethane gasAns : Ethene gas decolorises the purple colour of ``\ce{KMnO4}`` whereas no change observed with ethane.
- #1-e-iviv. Calcium nitrate solution and zinc nitrate solutionAns : 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.
