Question

Write an equation, including state symbols, for each of the following reactions. All of the salts produced are soluble in water

1. Calcium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride and hydrogen
2. Solid iron(II) oxide reacts with dilute sulfuric acid to form iron(II) sulfate and water
3. Potassium carbonate solution reacts with dilute nitric acid to form potassium nitrate, water and carbon dioxide
4. Magnesium hydroxide solution reacts with dilute nitric acid to form magnesium nitrate and water
5. Solid zinc carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride, water and carbon dioxide
6. Magnesium reacts with dilute sulfuric acid to form magnesium sulfate and hydrogen​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans: Magnesium is an very reactive metal. When stored, it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper for removing this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed to air.

2.       Write the balanced equation for the following chemical reactions.

            (a)  Hydrogen + Chlorine → Hydrogen chloride

            (b)  Barium chloride + Aluminium sulphate → Barium sulphate + Aluminium chloride

            (c)  Sodium + Water → Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen

Ans: (a)  H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HCl (g)

            (b)  3BaCl2 (s) + Al2(SO4)3 (s) → 3BaSO4(s) + 2AlCl3 (s)

            (c)  (c) 2Na(s) + 2H2O (l) → 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)

3.       Write a balanced chemical equation with state symbols for the following reactions.

            (a)  Solutions of barium chloride and sodium sulphate in water react to give insoluble barium sulphate and the solution of sodium chloride.

            (b)  Sodium hydroxide solution (in water) reacts with hydrochloric acid solution (in water) to produce sodium chloride solution and water.

Ans: (a)  BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) → BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)

            (b)  NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCL (aq) + H2O (l)

1.       A solution of a substance ‘X’ is used for white washing.

            (a)  Name the substance ‘X’ and write its formula.

            (b)  Write the reaction of the substance ‘X’ named in (a) above with water.

Ans: (a)  The substance ‘X’ is calcium oxide. Its chemical formula is CaO.

            (b)  Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to form calcium hydroxide (slaked lime).

                   CaO (s) + H2O (l) → Ca(OH)2 (aq)

                   Calcium Oxide (Quick Lime) + Water → Calcium Hydroxide (Slaked Lime)

2.       Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in Activity 1.7 double of the amount collected in the other? Name this gas.

Ans: Water contains two parts of hydrogen and one part oxygen. Therefore, during the electrolysis of water the amount of hydrogen gas collected in one of the test tubes is double than that of the oxygen produced and collected in the other test tube.
