1. Identify ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ in the following balanced reaction

xPb(NO3)2(s) yPbO(s) + zNO2(g) + O2(g)

(a) 2, 4, 2 (b) 2, 2, 4
(c) 2, 4, 4 (d) 4, 2, 2

2. Which of the following reactions will not take place?

(a) Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
(b) 2KBr + Cl2 → KCl + Br2
(c) Zn + MgSO4 → ZnSO4 + Mg
(d) Mg + FeSO4 → MgSO4 + Fe

In the following questions (Q3 to Q5), the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the
statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
(a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
(d) The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

3. Assertion: MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O is redox reaction.

 Reason: MnO2 oxides HCl to Cl2 and gets reduced to MnCl2.

4. Assertion: Universal indicator gives green colour with distilled water.

Reason: pH of distilled water is 7 and it is neutral and universal indicator gives green colour with neutral
solution.

5. Assertion: All proteins in our food are digested in small intestine only.
Reason: The protein digesting enzymes are released onto small intestine.

6. The colour of FeSO4 crystal before heating is and after heating is .

7. SO2 + 2H2S → 2H2O + 3S; SO2 is acting as agent.

8. NaHCO3 formed by reaction of
(a) NaOH + H2CO3
(b) NaCl + H2CO3
(c) Na2CO3 + HCl
(d) NaOH + Na2CO3

9. NaOH is obtained by electrolysis of

(a) Aq. solution of NaCl
(b) Aq. Na2CO3
(c) Aq. NaHCO3
(d) Molten NaCl

10. Acid reacts with metal to form salt and gas.

11. Dry ammonia gas has no action on litmus paper, but a solution of ammonia in water turns red litmus paper
blue. Why is it so?

12. Which of the following are chiefly digested in the stomach?

(a) Carbohydrates (b) Proteins
(c) Lipids (d) Fats

13. Which part of alimentary canal receives bile from the liver?
(a) Stomach (b) Small intestine
(c) Large intestine (d) Oesophagus

14. Why is plasma of blood straw-coloured?

OR
Why is urine yellow in colour?

15. The following diagram displays a chemical reaction. Observe carefully and answer the following
questions:
(a) Identify the type of chemical reaction that will take place and define it. How will the colour of the salt
change?
(b) Write the chemical equation of the reaction that takes place.
(c) Mention one commercial use of this salt.

16. What is redox reaction? Identify the substance oxidised and the substance reduced in the following
reactions:
(a) 2PbO + C → Pb + CO2
(b) MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

17. Rohit drinks cold drink every day. Cold drinks contain sugar and carbon dioxide which is dissolved in water
along with preservative like sodium benzoate. Carbonic acid can cause tooth decay. It may also cause hyper
acidity and weaken our bones. On the other hand, his friend Mohit drinks nimbu pani (lemonade) and fruit
juice instead of cold drinks.
(a) What is the formula of acid present in cold drink?
(b) How do cold drinks cause tooth decay?
(c) What is meant by hyperacidity?
(d) What values are possessed by Mohit taking nimbu pani and fruit juices instead of cold drinks?
(e) What are the diseases caused by weak bones?
