iii. Base ; Bases are the substances which are bitter in taste and soapy in touch. Eg - Na-OH , KOH
, etc.

Q.2 “Sulphuric acid is a dibasic acid“. What do you understand by this statement?
 It means that when Sulphuric acid dissolved in water it will give two protons which will
replace two -OH ions in the solution.

 CO2
ii. An element reacts with an acid and produces a gas which puts off a burning splint with a pop
sound.
 H2

Q.5 Write equations for the following

 i. Sodium sulphide reacts with nitric acid.
 Na2S + 4HNO3 → 2NaNO3 + 2NO2 + S + 2H2O
ii. Potassium carbonate and sulphuric acid are mixed together in a test tube.
 H2SO4 + K2CO3 → K2SO4 + CO2 + H2O
iii. Magnesium metal is dropped in a test tube of hydrochloric acid.
 Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2
iv. Zinc sulphide and hydrochloric acid interact.
 HCl + Zn S → H2S + ZnCl2
