On heating copper powder in china dish, the surface of copper powder turns black. c. On heating green coloured ferrous sulphate crystals, reddish brown solid is left and smell of a gas having odour of burning sulphur is experienced. d. Iron nails when left dipped in blue copper sulphate solution become reddish brown in colour and the blue colour of copper sulphate fades away. e. Quick lime reacts vigorously with water releasing a large amount of heat.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. BaCl2 + CuSO4 → BaSO4 + CuCl2

It is a double displacement reaction

b. 2Cu + O2 → 2CuO (black)

It is a combination reaction

c. 2FeSO4 (heated) → Fe2O3 + SO2+ SO3

It is a thermal decomposition reaction

d. Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 +Cu

It is a displacement reaction / single replacement reaction

e. CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + Heat

It is a combination reaction
