b) They involve the reaction of a non-metal with oxygen
c) They involve the reaction of a base with an acid
d) They involve the reaction of an acid with a carbonate
3. What type of reaction is represented by the equation:
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O?
a) Combination reaction b) Decomposition reaction
c) Displacement reaction d) Combustion reaction
4. A dilute ferrous sulphate solution was gradually added to the beaker containing
acidified permanganate solution. The light purple color of the solution fades and
finally disappears. Which of the given equation is the correct explanation for the
observation?
(a) KMnO₄ is an oxidizing agent, it oxidizes FeSO₄
(b) FeSO₄ acts as an oxidizing agent and oxidizes KMnO₄
(c) The color disappears due to dilution, no reaction is involved
(d) KMnO₄ is an unstable compound and decomposes in the presence of
FeSO₄ to a colorless compound
5. Rusting of iron involves a chemical reaction which is a combination of:
(a) Reduction as well as combination reactions
(b) Oxidation as well as combination reactions
(c) Reduction as well as displacement reactions
(d) Oxidation as well as displacement reactions
6. Which one of the given acids is used in the treatment of bone marrow and scurvy
diseases?
a) Acetic acid b) Hydrochloric acid c) Ascorbic acid d) Nitric acid
7. During the preparation of HCl gas on a humid day, the gas is usually passed
through the guard tube containing CaCl₂. The purpose of using CaCl₂ is
a) To add moisture to the gas (HCl) b) To absorb HCl gas
c) To absorb moisture from HCl gas d) To Use it as a catalyst
8. Soda ash chemical formula is
a) NaHCO₃ b) Na₂CO₃, 9H₂O c) Na₂CO₃ d) Na₂CO₃,10H₂O
9. Assertion (A) : Copper sulphate crystals are wet because it contains water of
crystallization.
Reason (R) :Water of crystallization is the fixed number of molecules of water
present in one formula unit of salt.
10. Assertion (A): Pungent smelling gas is produced when sulphur burns in air.
Reason (R) : Sulphur trioxide is formed on reaction of sulphur with oxygen.
SECTION - B
11. An aqueous solution of metal nitrate P reacts with sodium bromide solution to form
yellow ppt of compound Q which is used in photography. Q on exposure to sunlight
undergoes decomposition reaction to form metal present in P along with reddishbrown
gas. Identify P & Q .Write the chemical reaction & type of chemical reaction. (2M)
12. A road tanker carrying an acid was involved in an accident and its contents spilled
on the road. At the side of the road, iron drain covers began melting and fizzing as the
acid ran over them. A specialist was called to see if the acid actually leaked into the
nearby river.
a) Explain how the specialist could carry out a simple test to see if the river
water contains some acid or not.
b) The word melting is incorrectly used in the report. Suggest a better name
that should have been used.
c) Explain why drain covers began fizzing as the acid ran over them.
(3M)
13. A reddish brown metal X when heated in presence of oxygen forms a black
compound Y which is basic in nature when heated with hydrogen gas gives back X.
Identify X & Y. Write the chemical reaction between Y & H 2 Identify the substance
being oxidized & reduced.
(3M)
14. When CO2 gas is passed through saturated solution of ammonical brine, two
compound `X`and`Y`are formed. `Y`is used as antacid and decomposes to form
another solid `Z`. Identify `X`,` Y`,`Z`and write chemical equations. (3M)
