KEY SHEET - PART-A & B

SECTION-I
1. 1. When baking powder is heated or mixed in water, the following reaction takes place.
NaHCO3 + H+ → CO2 +H2O + Sodium salt of acid.
2. Carbon dioxide produced during the reaction causes bread or cake to rise making them soft and spongy.

2. - =

3. The melting point for covalent is low when compared with ionic compounds due to weak Vander Wall’s force of
attraction between the covalent molecules.
4. 1. Security checking 2. Generator
SECTION-II
5. 1.When Copper sulphate heated the colour turns Blue to white.
2. We add few drops of water white colour turns to blue.

6. 1. We are unable to see far objects and close objects.

2. Because accombadation ability of eye lens is not possible.

7. 3. In nl x method, n= Principle quantum number.

x= number of electrons in in orbital.
l = Azimuthal quantum number or angular momentum quantum number.
H(Z=1) = 1s1
8. Valence electrons Covalence
1. Number of electrons present in the 1. The capacity of atoms to neither gain,
valence shell is known as valence nor loose or share electrons is known
electrons. as covalence.
1. Ex:- The valence of Sodium is 1. 2. Ex:- The covalence of Hydrogen is 1.
9. 1. Magnetic lines are imaginary lines or curves forms around the magnet.
2. Outside of the magnet they extend from north to south.
3. Inside of the bar magnet they may form south to north.
4. So, the magnetic lines are closed loops.
SECTION-III
10. a). Long form of the periodic table: 1. The modern periodic table has 7 horizontal rows called periodic and 18
2. The first periodic has two elements. vertical columns called groups.
3. Second and third period have 8 elements in each.
4. Fourth and fifth periods have 18 elements in each.
5. Fifth period has 18 elements.
6. Sixth period has 32 elements. It is the longest period.
7. Seventh period is incomplete.
8. Lanthanides and Actinides are placed at the bottom of the periodic table.
(OR)
10. a). CH4 + Cl2 →CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + Cl2 →CH2Cl2 + HCl
CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl In this reaction catalyst is Sunlight.
CHCl3 + Cl2 →CCl4 + HCl
11. a) i. J/Kg-K
ii. Copper. Because copper has low specific heat value so it heats quickly.
iii. 4.2 x 103 J / kg-K.
iv. Nature of the substance.
(OR)
11. b) i. Fuse protects the electrical appliances by short circuit.
ii. Low melting point thin wire.

 iii. Zero
iv. Overload

12.a) 1. Take a pinch of calcium carbonate (lime stone) in a boiling tube.

2. Heat the boiling tube over the flame of spirit lamp or burner.
3. Now bring a burning match stick near the evolved gas as shown in the figure.
4. The burning match stick is put off.
5. On heating calcium carbonate decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

CaCO3 (s) CaO(s) + CO2 (g)
6. From this activity we can prove that heat energy is required for the decomposition of some
compounds.

(OR)

12. b) Aim: -To verify that is a constant.

Materials required:-A plank, white chart,protractor, scale, small black painted plank, a semicircular glass disc of
thickness nearly 2cm penciland laser light.
Procedure:-1. Make a chart as shown in the figure.
2. Place a semi-circle glass disc so that its diameter coincides with the line “MM”
3.Send a laser light along a line which makes 150 with “NN”.
4. Measure its corresponding angle of refraction by observing light coming from
outside of the glass slab.
5. Repeat this experiment with various values of angle of incidence, refraction and
noted below.

6. From the above table we observe that is a constant.

13. a) 13. b).

Position of the image:- At ‘C’.

Nature of the image:- Real, inverted & same size.
