CHAPTER1-CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND EQUATIONS

Question. Identify the compound which is Yellow in colour on exposure to sunlight changes to grey
colour and brown colour gas is evolved. Write the chemical reaction.

Question. Read the given passage and answer the questions based on passage and related studied
concepts. We come across many changes around us. Some changes are reversible i.e. no new substance
is formed called physical changes where as some are chemical changes, represented by chemical
equation. Chemical equation represents the reactants, products and their physical states. A chemical
equation must be balanced so as to satisfy law of conservation of mass. The reactions are classified into
combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, precipitation, redox, combustion,
exothermic and endothermic reactions. Corrosion is a process in which oxidation or redox reaction is
involved. Antioxidants are added to prevent rancidity of food materials.

(a) Strong heating of ferrous sulphate leads to formation of a brown solid and few gases. What type of
reaction it is

(b) Balance the following reaction: Fe + H2O → Fe3O4 + H2

(c) In which of the following chemical changes the initial substance remains unchanged? (i) Curdling of
milk (ii) Formation of crystals by crystallisation (iii) Fermentation of grapes (iv) Digestion of food

(d) What happens when hydrogen sulphide gas is passed through aqueous solution of copper sulphate
solution? Write chemical equation
