Water
1. Fill in the blank spaces with appropriate words given within the brackets.
(a)The density of pure water at 4°C is ______________ (1g/cm3 / 1kg/cm3).
(b)Natural water fit for human consumption is called _______ (distilled / potable)
water.
(c)Smaller the particle size of a solute, ______ (lower / higher) is the rate of
dissolution.
(d)Solubility of ______ (CaSO4 / CuSO4) decreases with the rise in temperature.
Ans. Take a watch glass and pour about 2 cm3 of tap water in it. Evaporate this water
slowly by placing it over a beaker containing boiling water.
When all the water in the watch glass evaporates, hold the watch glass against
light. On the watch glass are seen concentric rings of solid material which tend
to get denser near the centre.
The rings are formed due to the dissolved salts left behind after evaporation.
14. How will you prove that natural tap water contains dissolved gases?
Draw a diagram of the apparatus.
Ans. Take a round bottomed flask and fill it completely with natural tap water.
Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram along side. Heat the round
bottomed flask with a bunsen burner. It is seen that after a few minutes tiny

Carbon dioxide 0.03% Carbon dioxide 0.06%
17. (a) A small piece of freshly cut sodium metal is dropped in a trough of water.
Describe your observations.
(b)Write a chemical equation for the reaction between sodium and water.
(c) The neutral litmus solution turns to blue colour. It is because the solution
contains sodium hydroxide which is an alkali. The OH– ions of the alkali
turn neutral litmus to blue colour.
18. (a) A small piece of calcium is dropped in a beaker containing cold water
along with a few drops of neutral litmus solution. The water is gently stirred
by means of a celsius thermometer. Describe at least five observations.
(b) Write a chemical equation for calcium and water.
19. (a) About 2 cm3 of water is boiled in a test-tube, such that steam comes out
freely. A burning magnesium spiral is introduced in steam. Describe your
observations.
(b) An invisible gas G is formed in the test-tube. A burning candle is brought
near the mouth of the test-tube. State your observations.
(c) Write a chemical equation for the reaction between steam and magnesium.
Ans. (a)(1) The burning magnesium spiral continues to burn for a few seconds and
then stops burning.
(2) It forms a white powdery residue which crumbles from the spiral.
(b) The gas burns with a pop sound and the candle flame goes off.
(c) Mg + H2O (steam) → MgO + H2
