1. CHEMICAL REACTIONS & EQUATIONS

2. LIGHT : REFLECTION & REFRACTION

Q.1. The refractive index of medium ‘X’ with respect to medium ‘Y’ is 2/3 and refractive index of
medium ‘Y’ with respect to medium ‘Z’ is 4/3. Find the refractive index of medium ‘Z’ with respect to
medium ‘X’.

Q.2. The refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3. What is the refractive index of air with
respect to water?

Q.3. The refractive index of glass with respect to air is 1.65 and that of water w.r.t air is 1.33. Calculate
refractive index of water w.r.t to glass.

Q.4. In an experiment with a glass slab, a student observed that a ray of light incident at an angle of 60 ͦ
with the normal on one face of the slab, after refraction, strikes the opposite face of the slab before
emerging out in air making an angle of 42 ͦ with the normal. Draw a labelled diagram to show the path of
this ray. What would be the value of angle of refraction and angle of emergence?

Q.5. Refractive index of water and benzene w.r.t air are 1.33 and 1.50 respectively. Calculate refractive
index of benzene w.r.t water?

Q.6. The absolute refractive index of 2 media ‘A’ and ‘B’ are 2.0 and 1.5 respectively. If the speed of light
in medium ‘B’ is 2 × 108 m/s, calculate the speed of light in: (i) vacuum (ii) medium ‘A’.

Q.7. Draw a ray diagram to show refraction of light through a glass slab and label on it the following:
(i)Incident ray (ii)Refracted ray (iii)Emergent ray (iv)Lateral shift (displacement)

Q.8. If the angle of incidence (i) for a light ray in air be 45 ͦ and the angle of refraction (r) in glass be 30 ,ͦ
find the refractive index of glass w.r.t air.

Q.9. A 5cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 10 cm.
The distance of the object from the lens is 15 cm. Find the nature, position and size of the image. Also
find its magnification.

Q.10. One half of a convex lens is covered with a black paper.

(a)Show the formation of image of an object placed at 2F1, of such covered lens with the help of ray
diagram. Mention the position and nature of image.

(b)Draw the ray diagram for same object at same position in front of the same lens, but now uncovered.
Will there be any difference in the image obtained in the two cases? Give reason for your answer.

Q.11. A solution of a substance ‘X’ is used for white washing. (i) Name the substance ‘X’ and write its
formula. (ii) Write the reaction of the substance ‘X’ named in (i) above with water.
Q.12. Identify the compound oxidised in the following reaction:
H2S (g) + Cl2 → S(s) + 2HCl (g)

Q.13. Complete the missing components/variables given as x and y in the following reactions.
(a) Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Kl (aq) → PbI 2 (x) + 2KNO3 (y)
(b) Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + x (s)
(c) Zn (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (x) + H2 (y)

Q.14. A substance X, which is an oxide of a group 2 element, is used intensively in the cement industry.
This element is present in bones also. On treatment with water it forms a solution which turns red
litmus blue. Identify X and also write the chemical reactions involved.

Q.15. A magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen to give a white compound X accompanied by emission of
light. If the burning ribbon is now placed in an atmosphere of nitrogen, it continues to burn and forms a
compound Y. (a) Write the chemical formulae of X and Y. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation, when
X is dissolved in water.

Q.16. A silver article generally turns black when kept in the open for a few days. The article when rubbed
with toothpaste again starts shining.

(a) Why do silver articles turn black when kept in the open for a few days? Name the phenomenon
involved.

(b) Name the black substance formed and give its chemical formula.

Q.17. What happens when zinc granules are treated with dilute solution of H2SO4 , HCl, HNO3 , NaCl
and NaOH, also write the chemical equations if reaction occurs.

Q.18. On adding a drop of barium chloride solution to an aqueous solution of sodium sulphite, white
precipitate is obtained. (a) Write a balanced chemical equation of the reaction involved (b) What other
name can be given to this precipitation reaction? (c) On adding dilute hydrochloric acid to the reaction
mixture, white precipitate disappears. Why?
