Define neutralization. Explain with the help of an example.
5. List any three changes that take place during a chemical change.
6. Explain how crystals of copper sulphate are formed.
Answers
The reaction between an acid and a base is known as neutralization. Salt and water are produced in this process with the evolution of heat.
Example:
HCl+NaOH⟶NaCl+H2O
Three changes that take place during chemical reaction are -
1. change of state
2. change of temperature
3. formation of precitate
Crystallization is the process by which we can obtain crystals of copper sulphate. In this process, a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid is added to water. The water is then boiled & as it starts boiling, copper sulphate powder is added with stirring. The powder must be added on till the solution becomes saturated.
Answer:
A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt. For example, when hydrochloric acid(acid) and sodium hydroxide(base) react they form sodium chloride(salt) and water. Also, heat is evolved.
5. Three changes that take place during a chemical change are:
- Change of color (for example, silver to reddish-brown when iron rusts).
- Change in temperature or energy, such as the production (exothermic) or loss (endothermic) of heat
- Change of composition - paper turning to ash when burned.
6. Crystallization is the process by which we can obtain crystals of copper sulphate. In this process, a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid is added to water. The water is then boiled & as it starts boiling, copper sulphate powder is added with stirring. The powder must be added on till the solution becomes saturated. Afterwards, it is filtered into a china dish and allowed to cool, undisturbed. After some time the crystals of copper sulphate separate out.
