Answer:
. You have been provided with three test tubes, one of them contains distilled water and the other two contain an acidic solution and a basic solution respectively. If you are given only red litmus paper; how will you identify the contents of each test tube?
Ans. Add few drops of solution from all three test tubes on the red litmus paper separately. The solution which turns red litmus to blue contains basic solution. Use this blue litmus paper to test the solutions in other two test tubes. The solution from the test tube which turns blue litmus paper to red will be the acidic solution and solution of the test tube which do not change either red or blue litmus paper contain water.
Q2. Why should curd and sour substances not be kept in brass and copper vessels?
Ans. Curd and sour substances contain acids which can react with copper vessels and brass to form toxic compounds.
Q3. Which gas is usually liberated when an acid reacts with a metal? Illustrate with an example. How will you test for the presence of this gas?
Ans. When an acid react with a metal it liberates hydrogen gas.
E.g., Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2(g)
To test the presence of H2 gas, bring a burning splinter near the mouth of the test tube where H2 gas is released, the match stick bums with a pop sound.
Q4. Metal compound A reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce effervescence. The gas evolved extinguishes a burning candle. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction if one of the compounds formed is calcium chloride.
Ans. Metal compound A is CaCO3
Gas evolved is CO2
Balanced equation:
CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Q5. Why do HCl, HNO3 etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character?
Ans. Solutions like HCl, HNO3 etc. get ionised in aqueous solutions and due to the presence of H+ ions they show acidic characters. While solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not form any such ions so they do not show acidic characters.
Q6. Why does an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity?
Ans. Acid when forms a solution in water gets ionised, due to the presence of these ions electricity is conducted through it.
Q7. Why does dry HCl gas not change the colour of the dry litmus paper?
Ans. Dry HCl gas does not release H+ ions and hence, the acidic property of gas is not imparted.
Q8. While diluting an acid, why is it recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid?
Ans. When acid and water mix, the reaction is highly exothermic, the acid may splash, cause burns and even the bottle/container can break. To avoid this and allow the heat evolved to be absorbed by water slowly, acid is added to water for diluting it.
Q9. How is the concentration of hydronium ions (H30+) affected when a solution of an acid is diluted?
Ans. When the solution of acid is diluted the H+ ions are released from the acid to combine with H2O and H3O+ ions is increased.
