SECTION–A
[Link]�fy gas A in the following experiment.
(a) Nitrogen (b) Hydrogen(c)Oxygen (d)Carbon dioxide
[Link]�onreac�on(acid+alkali→salt+water).The pH of
A solution changes as we add excess of acid to an alkali.
Which letter denotes the area of the graph where both acid and salt are present?
(a)A (b)B (c)C (d)D
3. When we smile, our teeth become visible. So, we should ensure that we have a beau�ful set of
teeth as it makes our smile even more beau�ful. Tooth enamel is the thin outer covering of the
tooth.
What is the nature of the salt present in the tooth enamel?
(a)Basic(b)Acidic(c)Neutral(d)Amphoteric.
[Link] sample of soil from a par�cular place was tested for its [Link] came out to be 5.
Whichoneofthefollowingshouldbeaddedtothesoiltomakeitsuitableforplantgrowth?
i)Calciumchloride (II)CalciumHydroxide (III)Calciumsulphate (IV)Calcium oxide
(a) Both(I)and(II) (b)Both(II)and(IV) (c) Both (II) and (III) d) only III
5.A solution of a base with pH12.1is [Link] of the following can be done to decrease its pH?
i. Add dis�lled water to it.
ii. Addasolu�onofadifferentbasewithpH8.7.
iii. Add few drops of an acid with an unknown pH.
(a)Only(I) (b)Only(III)
(c)Only (I) and (II) (d) All of the above
[Link] diagram shows the reaction between metal and [Link].
What is the reason for different behaviour of Mg in test tube B?
(a) Mg is lighter element than [Link].
(b) Mg reacts with [Link] to produce H2gas which helps in floating.
(c) Mg reacts with [Link] to produce N2gas which helps in floating.
d) Mg reacts with dil. HCl to produce CO2gas which helps in floa�ng.
SECTION–B 2 marks
7. Iden�fy the acid and the base from which sodium chloride is obtained .Which type oof salt is it? When
is it called rock salt? How is rock salt formed?
[Link]�onforthereac�onthatoccurswhen:
(a)Blue coloured copper sulphate crystals are heated
(b)Sodium hydrogen carbonate is heated during cooking
[Link] adding a few drops of universal indicator in three colourless solu�ons X, Y and Z taken
separately in three test tubes ,a student observed the changes in colour as green in X, red in Y and
blue in Z.
(a)Arrange X,YandZ in increasing order of their pH values.
(b)Which one of the three ,X,YandZ,will change the colour of phenolphthalein?Why?
[Link] HCl and CH3COOH, which one is a weak acid and why? Explain with the help of an
example.
SECTION–C 3 marks
11.(a)[Link].
How is tooth decay related to pH? How can it be prevented ?
b)Why does bee s�ng cause pain and irrita�on ?Rubbing of baking soda on the s�ng area gives
relief. How?
12.“Sodium hydrogen carbonate is a basic salt”. Jus�fy the statement. How is it converted into
washing soda ? Explain.
13. Name the products formed in each case when
(a) Hydrochloric acid reacts with caus�c soda.
(b) Granulated zinc reacts with caus�c soda.
(c) Carbon dioxide is passed into limewater.
SECTION–D 5 marks
14.a)Explain why is hydrochloric acid a strong acid and ace�c acid , a weak acid. How can it be
verified?
b)Explain why aqueous solu�on of an acid conducts electricity.
C)You have four solu�ons A,B, C and D. The pH ofsolu�onAis6, Bis9,Cis12andDis7,
i)Iden�fy the most acidic and most basic solutions.
ii)Arrange the above four solu�ons in the increasing order of H+ ion concentration.
iii) State the change in colour of pH paper on dipping in solu�on C and D
SECTION–E (CaseStudyBasedQuestion)
1. Crystalline salts have water of crystallisa�on. The number of water molecules associated with
crystals depends upon size of ca�on. The colour and physical state may be different for crystalline
and amorphous salt. Crystalline salts have well defined geometrical shape, sharp mel�ng point.
Amorphous compounds do not have well defined shape.
(a) What is colour of hydrated copper sulphate?
(b) What is formula of washing soda?
(c) What happens when hydrated copper sulphate is heated ? Write chemical
equa�on. OR
(c) What happens when water is added to anhydrous copper sulphate? Write chemical equation
involved.
