(d)
(i) When nitric acid is added to sulphur, it gives off a deep red-orange or
brown-coloured gas which has an irritating (pungent) odour.
(ii) When ammonia gas is passed over heated copper (II) oxide, black
copper oxide is reduced to greyish metallic copper.
(iii) The blue colour of the copper sulphate solution remains unchanged
during its electrolysis due to the copper electrodes.
(iv) When a small piece of zinc is added to dilute hydrochloric acid, white
coloured zinc chloride is formed, and colourless and odourless hydrogen
gas is evolved.
(v) When lead nitrate is heated strongly in a test tube, the yellow compound
formed and gives off a deep red-orange or brown coloured gas which
having an irritating (pungent) odour.

1. Given:
Mass of O2 = 12 g
Atomic mass of O = 16
Molecular mass of O2 = 32 g/mol
No. of moles of O2 =?
We know,
32 g of O2 = 1 mol
12 g of O2 = ?
12
No.of moles
32
No.of moles 0.375mol
2. Given:
No. of C atoms = 1022
We know,
1 mole of substance contains 6.022 × 1023 atoms
6.022 × 1023 atoms of carbon = 12 g
So, 1022 atoms of carbon
1022 12
6 1023
0.2 gm
The weight of 1022 atoms of carbon is 0.2 gm.

2 mol of NaOH gives a precipitate of 1 mol of Cu(OH)2.
We know,
40 g of NaOH = 1 mol
200 g of NaOH = 5 mol
As 2 mol of NaOH gives 1 mol of Cu(OH)2
So, 5 mol of NaOH will give
