CHEMISTRY GRADE-10 WORKSHEET ON UINT FOUR.

I.CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER FROM THE GIVEN ALTERNATIVES.

1. What makes chemical industries differ from other industries? They

A. Consume relatively small quantities of energy during the manufacturing activities.

B. Require trained workers in their manufacturing process. C. Do not make use of naturally available raw materials for their
manufacturing activity. D. involve chemical reactions to change raw materials in to products. ANS: D.

2. Which of the following natural resources is renewable? A. Coal B. Gold C. Soil D. Natural gas ANS: C

Natural resources can be classified in to two. These are i) Renewable Resources and ii)Non-renewable Resources

i) Renewable resources:-are resources that can be replaced by natural process. Plants,animals,soil and water are examples of
renewable natural resources. ii) Non-renewable resources:- are resources that are found in a fixed amount in nature and cannot be
replaced. Natural gas,coal,petroleum,ore,are examples of non-renewable resources.

3. One of the following substances is not a common air pollutant.Which one is it? A. Fertilizers B. SO 2 C. NO2 D. Particulate. ANS:-
A. The major air pollutants in the air are:- SO 2,CO,Oxides of nitrogen,hydrocarbons,smoke and
dust,heavymetals,chlorofluorocarbons(CFC’s). Further reading on how they affect the air.

4.Which of the following is not a major factor for land pollution? A. Leaching of heavy metals. B. The spillage of oil C. Dumping
non-biodegradable wastes D. The use of organic fertilizers. ANS:- D. Land pollution is caused by things we put into it.

5. Which of the following is/are a/the major factor for water pollution? A. nitrate and phosphate fertilizers B. phosphate
detergents C. Untreated swage D. Insect cides and herbicides E. heavy metal ions F. acidic and or basic residues released by
industrial process. G. All ANS: G.

6. Which of the following methods can not be used to reduce water pollution? A. Treatment of water before discharge into rivers and
lakes. B. Using moderate amount of agricultural chemicals C. Recycling industrial and agricultural chemicals. D. Discharging
heat-landened water in to natural water systems. ANS:- D. Read on reduction mechanisms of air and land pollutions.

7.Which of the following is the modern method for processing and preserving foods? A. Cannning B. Smoking C. Freezing

D. Drying ANS:- C. Modern methods of food preservations are:- freezing-drying,and vacume-packing. Vacum-packing is
commonly used for storing nuts to reduce loss of flavor from oxidation.

8. What are some the negative effects of industries on the environment? They A. Process waste products B. reduce CO2 emission

C. Discharge pollutants in to the environment D. Treat water before discharge. ANS:- C. Many of the environmental problem
that we face nowadays are directly or indirectly related to the activities of the chemical industries(man itself). The major
environmental pollution are:- air pollution, land pollution,and water pollution. Pollution is any discharge of material into an
environment.

POLLUTANT:- is any substance that changes the air,water,or any other resources in some way such that use of the resources is
impaired. Pollution affects the earth’s ecological balance and lowers the qualities of life in the environment.

9. The purpose of adding salt to the animal skin in the process of tanning is :- A. remove unwanted flesh from the skin

B. Loosen the outer layer of the skin C. make the skin safe D.dehydrate the skin ANS:-D.

10. Which of the following air pollutants have a significant contribution for the depletion of ozone layer?

A. Chlorofluorocarbons A. Hydrocarbons C. Oxides of nitrogen D. Heavy metals ANS:- A

11. Which of the following air pollutants cause an acid rain? A. Heavy metals B. Hydrocarbons C. Chlorofluorocarbons D. SO2

12. Which of the following statements can be can best describe strong acid and concentrated acid?

A. Strong acid has highly dissociable acid while concentrated acid has more dissolved acid.

B. Concentrated acid has highly dissociable acid while strong acid has more dissolved acid.

C. Strong acid contains more dissolved acid while concentrated acid contains less dissolved acid.

D. Concentrated acid has more hydrogen ions while strong acid has less hydrogen ions. ANS:- A

13. If you need to cover (electroplate) a tray made of iron with chromium you must not make one of the following.

A. Make chromium the anode B. Make the tray the cathode C. Use an iron salt solution or a molten chromium salt as an
electrolyte. D. Use a chromium salt solution or a molten chromium salt as an electrolyte E. Use direct current F.None ANS:- C

C. a peroxide D. an active metal ANS:- D

15.Which of the following group of salts give a white precipitate when solution of barium chloride is added to them?

A. nitrates B. chlorates C. permanganates D. Sulphates ANS:-D

16. During electrolysis,the positive ions migrate towards? A.anode B. cathode C. Battery D. The solution from the cathode ANS:-B

17.For extractions of iron,which one is the purest form of iron? Wrought iron B. Pig iron C. Cast iron D. Haematite ANS:-A

18.Electrolytic cell and voltaic cell have a common characteristic. Select the common characteristic.

A. Anode is positive and cathode is negative in both cells. B. Reduction half reaction occurs at the anode in both cells.

C. Both cells produce electricity D. In both cells, electrons are flows from anode to cathode. ANS:- D

19. All of the followings are the function of salt bridge ECEPT A. to maintain electrical neutrality

B. to prevent the mixing of the electrode solution C. to transfer electrons for both solutions

D. to allow electrical contact between the two solutions. ANS:-C
