Hints & Solution

1. Let oxidation number of O = x

x × 2 ×(-1) =0 ⇒x = +2

2. Cu(s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3 )2 (aq) + 2Ag(s)

Colourless Blue

∆
3. (NH4 )2 Cr2O7 (s)  → Cr2O3 (s) + N2 (g)+ 4H2O(l)
ORANGE GREEN

4. Let x = oxidation no. of S

Oxidation no. of O = -2
Oxidation no. of Cl = -1
x +(-2)×1 + (-1) ×2 = 0 ⇒x = +4

5. A type of reaction in which two compounds exchange their ions to form products is known double
displacement reaction. If at least one product is a precipitate, such reaction is also known as
precipitation reaction.

Heat
6. 2Cu + O2  → 2CuO
BLACK

7. The basic strength of oxide of metal decreases with the increase of the oxidation number of metal in
the oxide.
So the order of basic strength is
MnO> Mn2O3> MnO2> Mn2O7

8. In acidic solutions the colour of blue litmus turns to re(D)

NaCl(aq) : Neutral
CuSO4(aq) : Acidic
Na2CO3(aq) : Basic
NaCN(aq) : Basic

9. HCl is a strong electrolyte. It dissociates in water completely.

Dissociation
HCl + H2O  → H+ + Cl−

10. 2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O (l) → 2NaOH (aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g)

11. KOH + NH4Cl → NH3(g)+ KCl + H2O

Dissociation
12. HCl + H2O  → H+ + Cl−
Dissociation
H2O(l)  → H+ (aq) + OH− (aq)

13. Hydrochloric acid : Mineral acid

Citric acid : Organic acid
Sulphuric acid : Mineral acid
Nitric acid : Mineral acid
