 Chemical Reactions and Equations Case Based Questions
Question 1:

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).

Corrosion is the phenomenon of deterioration of surface of metal in presence of

air and moisture. It is a natural process and in the presence of a moist
atmosphere, chemically active metals get corroded. This is an oxidation
reaction. Rusting is the process where iron corrodes due to exposure to the
atmosphere. The main circumstance of corrosion occurs with iron because it is
a structural material in construction, bridges, buildings, rail transport, ships,
etc. Aluminium is also an important structural metal, but even aluminium
undergoes oxidation reactions. However, aluminium doesn’t corrode or oxidize
as rapidly as its reactivity suggests. Copper (Cu) corrodes and forms a basic
green carbonate.

(i) What is Rusting?

Answer
The deterioration of surface of iron in presence of air and moisture is called rusting.

(ii) Which two metals do not corrode easily?

Answer
Gold and Platinum

(iii) Write the chemical name of the compound formed on corrosion of silver.

Answer
Silver sulphide, Ag2S
(iv) Corrosion is
(a) a redox reaction
(b) a reduction reaction
(c) a displacement reaction
(d) an oxidation reaction

Answer
(d)

Question 2:
Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).

Oxidation is the process of gaining of oxygen, or losing of hydrogen. Reduction

is the process of losing of oxygen or gaining of hydrogen. The substance which
undergoes oxidation is the reducing agent while the substance which undergoes
reduction is known as the oxidising agent. Oxidation and reduction always take
place together and these types of reactions are known as redox reactions.
Some of the examples of redox reactions are given below:
(i) Give two examples of oxidation reaction from your everyday life.

Answer
Corrosion and Rancidity

(ii) Write the oxidising agent in the reaction III and VI.

Answer
CuSO4 in (III) and CuO in (VI)

(iii) Which of the following is an oxidising agent?

(a) LiAlH4
(b) Alkaline KMnO4
(c) Acidified K2Cr2O7
(d) Both (b) and (c)

(d)

(iv) Out of oxidation and reduction, which reaction takes place at anode

Answer
Oxidation
