Short Answer Type Questions
Q9. Give reasons. i. Curd and sour substances are not kept in brass and
copper vessels.
 Answer: Curd and sour substances contain acids which react with
brass and copper to form toxic compounds.
ii. Dry HCl gas does not change the colour of the dry litmus paper.
 Answer: Dry HCl gas does not release hydrogen ions in the absence
of water, so it does not change the color of dry litmus paper.
iii. It is recommended that acid should be added to water and not water to
the acid.
 Answer: Adding acid to water ensures that the exothermic reaction

releases heat gradually, reducing the risk of splashing and injury.
iv. Distilled water does not conduct electricity, whereas rain water does.
 Answer: Distilled water lacks ions, making it a poor conductor of

electricity, whereas rainwater contains dissolved salts and ions that
conduct electricity.
Q10. Define the following terms.

 Neutralization reaction: A chemical reaction in which an acid and a
base react to form a salt and water.
 Chloralkali process: An industrial process for the electrolysis of
sodium chloride solution to produce chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium
hydroxide.
 Antacids: Substances that neutralize stomach acidity and are used to
relieve heartburn, indigestion, or an upset stomach.
Q11. Name the acid present in the following. i. Tomato
 Answer: Oxalic acid
ii. Vinegar
 Answer: Acetic acid
iii. Tamarind
 Answer: Tartaric acid
Q12. Explain, how antacid works.
 Answer: Antacids work by neutralizing excess stomach acid to

relieve symptoms of heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach. They
are typically bases that react with and neutralize hydrochloric acid in
the stomach.
Q13. A student detected the pH of four unknown solutions A, B, C, and D

as follows 11, 5, 7, and 2. Predict the nature of the solution.
 Answer:
o Solution A (pH 11): Basic
o Solution B (pH 5): Acidic
o Solution C (pH 7): Neutral
o Solution D (pH 2): Strongly acidic
Q14. 'pH has a great importance in our daily life'. Explain by giving three
examples.
 Answer:
1. Digestive Health: The pH of the stomach is essential for proper
digestion and enzyme function.
2. Agriculture: Soil pH affects the availability of nutrients to
plants.
3. Water Quality: The pH of water is crucial for aquatic life and
determines the solubility of pollutants.
Q15. Explain the action of dil. HCl on the following using chemical
equations. i. Magnesium ribbon
 Answer: Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2
ii. Sodium hydroxide
 Answer: NaOH+HCl→NaCl+H2O
iii. Crushed egg shells
 Answer: CaCO3+2HCl→CaCl2+CO2+H2O
Long Answer Type Questions
Q16. Equal lengths of magnesium ribbon are taken in two test tubes 'A'
and 'B'. H2SO4 is added to test tube 'A' and H2CO3 in the test tube 'B' in
equal amounts. i. Identify the test tube showing vigorous reaction.
 Answer: Test tube 'A'
ii. Give reason to support your answer.
 Answer: H2SO4 is a stronger acid than H2CO3, leading to a more

vigorous reaction.
iii. Name the gas liberated in both the tubes. How will you prove its
liberation?
 Answer: Hydrogen gas (H2) is liberated. Its presence can be

confirmed by the "pop" sound it makes when a burning splinter is
brought near it.
Q17. Describe an activity with a diagram to illustrate that the reaction of

metal carbonates and metal bicarbonates with acids produces carbon
dioxide. Write the relevant equations of all the reactions that take place.
Name any two forms in which calcium carbonate is found in nature.
 Answer:
o Activity: Place a metal carbonate (e.g., calcium carbonate) in a
test tube, add a few drops of dilute HCl, and collect the gas
released in a second test tube through a delivery tube.
Introduce a burning splinter into the second test tube; the
splinter will extinguish, indicating the presence of CO2.
o Equations:
 CaCO3+2HCl→CaCl2+CO2+H2O
 NaHCO3+HCl→NaCl+CO2+ H2O
o Forms of calcium carbonate in nature: Limestone and marble.
Q18. Identify the acid and the base whose combination forms the common
salt that you use in your food. i. Write its formula and chemical name of
this salt. Name the source from where it is obtained.
 Answer: The combination of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium

hydroxide (NaOH) forms common salt.
o Formula: NaCl
o Chemical name: Sodium chloride
o Source: Sea water or rock salt.
ii. What is rock salt? Mention its colour and the reason due to which it has
this colour.
 Answer: Rock salt is a naturally occurring form of sodium chloride.

Its color can vary from white to pink
