Assertion and Reason type of Questions

In the following questions a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of

Reason.

Mark the correct choice as two statements are given one labeled Assertion (A)

and the other labeled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions

from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below:

(c) A is true, but R is false.

(d) A is false, but R is true.

I. Assertion: Decomposition of vegetable matter into compost is an endothermic

reaction.

(yaha Marks katate h) Reason: Decomposition reaction involves the breakdown of a single

reactant into simpler products. [2022]

II. Assertion: Silver bromide Decomposition is used in black and white

photography.

Reason: Light provides energy for this exothermic reaction. [2023]

III. Assertion: The colour of aqueous solution of copper sulphate turns colourless

when a piece of lead is added to it.

Reason: Lead is more reactive than copper, and Hans displaces copper for its salt

solution. [2023]

IV. Assertion: In the following chemical equation,

CuO(s) + Zn(s) ZnO(s) + Cu(s)

zinc is getting oxidised and copper oxide is getting reduced.

Reason: The process in which oxygen is added to a substance is called oxidation

where as the process in which oxygen is removed from a substance is called

reduction.

V. Assertion: Iron articles are painted so as to prevent them from rusting.

Reason: When the surface of iron is coated with the paint, it's surface does not

come in direct contact with oxygen and moisture, therefore rusting does not take

place.

Case Study/Source Based Question

(pahle points socho firr likho)

Rahul is a skilled painter. He mixed a white-coloured powder (compound X) with

water. The compound X reacted vigorously with water to produce a compound Y

and a large amount of heat. Then, Rahul used compound Y for whitewashing the

walls. The customer was not satisfied with Rahul’s work, as the walls were not

shining. But Rahul guaranteed him that the walls would shine after 2–3 days. As

promised, the walls became shiny after 3 days of whitewash.

Read the above passage carefully and give the answer to the following questions:

Q1. Name the compound X, that Rahul mixed with water.

Q2. Name the compound Y, that Rahul got after mixing X with water.

Q3. What type of reaction has occurred here?

Q4. Write the chemical reaction responsible for the shiny finish of the walls.

Q5. Write the common name of X and Y.
