 6. State the substance which has been oxidised in each of the following [2]
reactions. Justify your choice:
a. Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

b. N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

7. X, Y, Z are 3 metals. Y liberates hydrogen from cold water, while X and Z [1]
do not.
Z displaces X from a solution of its salt in water.

Arrange X, Y and Z in a decreasing order of their reactivity

8. Name the following: [4]

a. An element that burns extremely explosively in hydrogen.
b. A metal which is not used to prepare hydrogen in the laboratory as its
cost is a matter of concern
