(ii) What can you say about the melting point and boiling point of compound Z?
(iii) Will this compound dissolve in kerosene or water?
(iv)Will this compound be a good conductor of electricity?
6. Give reasons:-
a. why carbon can neither form C4+ cations nor C4- anions, but forms covalent bonds.
b. why carbon cannot form ionic compounds.
c. Calcium starts floating when water is added to it.
d. Al2O3 react both with acids and bases to form salt and water.
e. Diamond is hard but graphite is soft and slippery.

7. A metal carbonate X on reacting with an acid gives a gas which when passed through a solution Y
gives the carbonate back. On the other hand, a gas G that is obtained at the anode during
electrolysis of brine is passed on dry Y, it gives a compound Z, used for disinfecting drinking water.
Identity X, Y, G and Write all the reactions involved.

8. Salt A commonly used in bakery products on heating gets converted into another salt B which
itself is used for removal of hardness of water and a gas C is evolved. The gas C when passed through
lime water, turns it milky. Identify A, B and C. Write all the reactions involved.

9. In one of the industrial processes used for manufacture of sodium hydroxide, a gas X is formed as
a by-product. The gas X reacts with lime water to give a compound Y which is used as a bleaching
agent in the chemical industry. Identify X and Y giving the chemical equation of the reactions
involved.

10. When electricity is passed through a common salt solution, sodium hydroxide is produced along
with the liberation of two gases ‘X’ and ‘Y’. The gas ‘X’ burns with a pop sound whereas ‘Y’ is used for
disinfecting drinking water.

(i) Identify X and Y.

(ii) Give the chemical equation for the reaction stated above.
 (iii) State the reaction of Y with dry slaked lime.
11. Differentiate between
a. decomposition and combination reactions.
b. exothermic and endothermic reaction
c. graphite and diamond
d. oxidation and reduction
e. galvanisation and alloy formation
f. calcination and roasting
12. Write the molecular formula of ethane, O2 and C2H2 molecules and draw their electron-dot
structures.

13. Following questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these
questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

Assertion (A): Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid.
Reason (R): Nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent.

Assertion (A): Highly reactive metals are obtained by electrolytic reduction.

Reason (R): In the electrolytic reduction, metal is deposited at the cathode.

Assertion (A): Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.

Reason (R): Alloys are heterogeneous mixture of metals with other metals and non-metals.

Assertion (A): Zinc oxide is amphoteric in nature.

Reason (R): Zinc oxide reacts with both acids and bases.

Assertion (A): Anodising is a method to prevent metal from corrosion.

Reason (R): Anodising is a process of coating iron with a layer of zinc.

Assertion (A): Copper sulphate crystals are wet because it contains water of crystallisation.
Reason (R): Water of crystallisation is the fixed number of molecules of water present in one
formula unit of salt.

Assertion (A): The aqueous solutions of glucose and alcohol do not show acidic character.
Reason (R): Aqueous solutions of glucose and alcohol do not give H+ ions.

Assertion (A): HCl gas does not change the colour of dry blue litmus paper.
Reason (R): HCl gas dissolves in the water present in wet litmus paper to form H+ ions.

Assertion (A): Carbon is the only element that can form large number of compounds.
Reason (R): Carbon is tetravalent and shows the property of catenation.

Assertion (A): Diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon.

Reason (R): Some elements can have several different structural forms while in the same physical
state. These forms are called allotropes.
