write the chemical equation of the reaction in which the following changes have been taken place with an example of each (1)change in colour (2) change in temperature (3) formation of precipitate
Answers
(i) Change in colour: Reaction between lead nitrate solution and potassium iodide solution. Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2KI → PbI2(s)+2KNO3(aq) In this reaction, colour changes from colourless to yellow.
(ii)Change in temperature: Action of dilute sulphuric acid on zinc. Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + H2 In this reaction, heat is evolved
(iii) Formation of precipitate: Action of barium chloride on sodium sulphate. BaCl2(aq) +Na2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) +2NaCl(aq) BaSO4(s)-ppt
