chemical reaction in this change.
2. What happens chemically when quicklime is added to water filled in a bucket?
3. What changes do you observe in the colour of iron nails dipped in copper sulphate solution for about 30
minutes?
4. Name the oxidizing and reducing agent in the following reaction:

7. If copper metal is heated over a flame, it develops a coating. What is the colour and composition of this
coating?
8. All decomposition reactions are endothermic reactions. Explain, why?
9. When the powder of a common metal is heated in an open china dish, its colour turns black. However, when
hydrogen is passed over the hot black substance so formed , it regains its original colour. Based on the above
information answer the following questions:
a) What type of chemical reaction takes place in each of the two given steps?
b) Name the metal initially taken in the powder form. Write balanced equations for both reactions.
10. What happens when an aqueous solution of sodium sulphate reacts with an aqueous solution of barium
chloride? State the physical conditions of reactants in which the reactions between them will not take place.
Write the balanced equation for the reaction.

a) What is the colour of this precipitate?
b) Name the compound precipitated.
c) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
d) What type of reaction is this?
12. What is the colour of FeSO4.7H2O crystals? How does this colour change upon heating? Give balanced
equation for the changes.
13. The smell and taste of food containing fats and oils change after sometime. Why does this happen? Name the
process. List two ways which help to slow down the above mentioned process.
14. Identify the type of reaction from the following equations.
a) CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + H2O
b) Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI PbI2 + 2KNO3

b) MnO2 + 4HCl MnCl2 + 2H2O
16. Give reason :colour of the copper sulphate solution changes when an iron nail is dipped in it.
17. A brown substance ‘X’ on heating in air forms a substance ‘Y’. When hydrogen gas is passed over heated ‘Y’,
it again changes back into ‘X’. Name the substance ‘X’ and ‘Y’. Name the chemical processes occurring
during both the changes. Write the equations involved in both the changes.
