Question 1.
Choose the correct option from the bracket and explain the statement giving reasons :
(Oxidation, displacement, electrolysis, reduction, zinc, copper, double diplacement, decomposition)

a. To prevent rusting, a laver of ……… metal is applied on iron sheets.
Answer:
To prevent rusting, a layer of zinc metal is applied on iron sheets.
The rusting of iron is an oxidation process. Due to corrosion of an iron a deposit of reddish substance (Fe₂O₃.H₂O) is formed on it. This substance is called rust. To prevent corrosion, a layer of zinc metal (galvanisation) is applied on iron sheets.

b. The conversion or ferrous sulphate to ferric sulphate is …….. reaction.
Answer:
The conversion of ferrous sulphate to ferric sulphate is an oxidation reaction.
When ferric ion is formed. from ferrous ion, the positive charge is increased by one unit. while this happens the rerrous ion loses one electron. A process in which a metal or its ion loses one or more electrons is called an oxidation.
2FeSO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃
Fe₂ + SO₄^2- → 2Fe³⁺ + SO₄^2-

c. When electric current is passed through acidulated water …….. of water takes place.
Answer:
when electric current is passed through acidulated water decomposition of water takes place. In this reaction. hydrogen and oxygen gas are formed.

This decomposition takes place with the help of an electric current, it is also called electrolytic decomposition.

d. Addition of an aqueous solution of ZnSO₄ to an aqueous solution of BaCl₂ is an example of ……… reaction.
Answer:
Addition of an aqueous solution of ZnSO₄ to an aqueous solution or BaCl₂ is an example or double displacement reaction.

Barium chloride reacts with zinc sulphate to form a white precipitate of barium sulphate. white precipitate is formed by exchange of ions Ba⁺⁺ and SO₄^— between the reactants.

Question 2.
a. What is the reaction called when oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously? Explain with one example.
Answer:
The reaction which involves simultaneous oxidation and reduction is called an oxidation-reduction or redox reaction.
In a redox reaction, one reactant gets oxidised while the other gets reduced during a reaction.
Redox reaction = Reduction + Oxidation

In redox reaction, the reductant is oxidized by the oxidant and the oxidant is reduced by the
reductant.
Example:CuO_(s) + H_2(g) → Cu_(s) + H₂O
In this reaction, oxygen is removed from copper oxide therefore it is a reduction of CuO, while hydrogen accepts oxygen to form water that means oxidation of hydrogen takes place. Thus oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Other examples of redox reactions:

b. How can the rate of the chemical reaction, namely, decomposition of hydrogen peroxide be increased?
Answer:
At room temperature, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen takes place slowly. However, the same reaction occurs at a faster rate on adding manganese dioxide (MnO₂),
powder in it.

c. Explain the term reactant product giving examples.
Answer:

1. The substance which undergoes bond breaking while taking part in a chemical reaction is called reactant.
2. The substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction by formation of new bonds is called product.
3. Example: In a chemical reaction, the formation of carbon dioxide gas takes place by combustion of coal in air. In this reaction, coal (carbon) and oxygen (from air) are the reactants while carbon dioxide is the product.

d. Explain the types of reactions with reference to oxygen and hydrogen. Illustrate with examples.
Answer:
With reference to oxygen and hydrogen, there are two types of reaction

1. Oxidation reaction
2. Reduction reaction.

1. Oxidation reaction:
Examples:
(1) When carbon burns in air, it forms carbon dioxide. In this reaction carbon accepts oxygen, therefore, this is an oxidation reaction.
C_(s) + O_2(g) → CO_2(g)

(2) When sodium reacts with ethyl alcohol, sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas is formed. In this reaction, hydrogen is removed from ethyl alcohol, therefore this is an oxidation reaction.

(3) Acidified potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇ / H₂SO₄) oxidises ethly alcohol to acetic acid.

2. Reduction reaction:
Examples:
(1) When hydrogen gas is passed over black copper oxide a reddish coloured layer of copper is
formed.
In this reaction an oxygen atom removed from CuO to form copper, hence, this is reduction.

(2) when hydrogen gas is passed over red hot coke, methane is obtained.
Here, hydrogen is added to coke (carbon). Hence, this is reduction.

e. Explain the similarity and difference in two events, namely adding NaOH to water and adding CaO to water.
Answer:
Similarity : Both NaOH and CaO, when dissolved separately in water, solid NaOH dissolves releasing heat, resulting in rise in temperature. This reaction is exothermic reaction. When solid CaO dissolves in water, Ca(OH)₂ is formed, large amount of heat is evolved. This reaction is also exothermic reaction. Both reactions are combination reactions and single product is obtained.
NaOH_(s) + H₂O → NaOH_(aq) + Heat
CaO_(s) + H₂O → Ca(OH)_2(aq) + Heat
Difference:

1. Aqueous solution of NaOH is considered as a strong alkali.
2. Aqueous solution of Ca(OH)₂ is considered as a weak alkali.

Question 3.
Explain the following terms with examples.
a. Endothermic reaction
Answer:
Endothermic reaction: The reaction in which heat is absorbed is called an endothermic
reaction.
when KNO_3(s) dissolves in water, there is absorption of heat during the reaction and the temperature of the solution falls.
KNO_2(s) + H₂O_(l) + Heat → KNO_3(aq)

b. Combination reaction
Answer:
When two or more reactants combine in a reaction to form a single product, it is called a combination reaction.
Examples:
1. The ammonia gas reacts with hydrogen chloride gas to form the salt in gaseous state, immediately it condenses at room temperature and gets transformed into the solid state.

2. Magnesium burns in air to form white powder of magnesium oxide as a single product.

3. Iron reacts with sulphur to form iron sulphide.

c. Balanced equation
Answer:
In a chemical reaction, the number of atoms of the elements in the reactants is same as the number or atoms of those elements in the product, such an equation is called a balanced equation.
Example: AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO₃
In the above reaction, the number of atoms of the elements in the reactants is same as the number of atoms of elements in the products.

d. Displacement reaction
Answer:
The reaction in which the place of the ion of a less reactive element in a compound is taken by another more reactive element by the formation of its own ions is called displacement reaction.

When zinc granules are added to the blue coloured copper sulphate solution, the zinc ions formed from zinc atoms take the place of Cu²⁺ ions in CuSO₄, and copper atoms, formed from Cu²⁺ ions comes out i.e. the more reactive zinc displaces the less reactive Cu from copper sulphate.

4. Give scientific reason:
a. When the gas formed on heating lime stone is passed through freshly prepared lime water, the lime water turns milky.
Answer:
when lime stone is heated, calcium oxide and carbon dioxide are formed. This carbon dioxide gas is passed through freshly prepared lime water, insoluble calcium carbonate and water are formed. In this reaction, lime water turns milky.

b. It takes time for pieces of Shahabud tile to disappear in HCl, but its powder disappears rapidly.
Answer:
The rate of a reaction depends upon the size of the particles of the reactants taking part in the reaction. The smaller the size of the reactants particles, the more is their total surface area and the faster is the rate of reaction.

In the reaction of dil. HCl with pieces of Shahabad tile, CO₂ effervescence is formed amid the tile disappears slowly. On the other hand. CO₂ effervescence forms at faster rate with Shahabad tile powder and it disappears rapidly.

c. While preparing dilute sulphuric acid from concentrated sulphuric acid in the laboratory, the concentrated sulphuric acid is added slowly to water with constant stirring.
Answer:
(1) The preparation of dilute sulphuric acid falls in the category of extreme exothermic process.

(2) During the preparation of dilute sulphuric acid. large amount of water is taken in a glass container which is surrounded by ice. Cool it for twenty minutes, Now small quantity of conc. H₂SO₄ is added slowly with stirring. Therefore, only a small amount of heat is liberated at a time. In this way dilute sulphuric acid is prepared.

(3) On the other hand, in the process of dilution or conc. sulphuric acid with water, very large amount of heat is liberated. As a result, water gets evaported instantaneously, if it is poured in to conc. H₂SO₄ which may cause an accident.

d. It is recommended to use air tight container for storing oil for long time.
Answer:

1. If edible oil is allowed to stand for a long time, it undergoes air oxidation, it becomes rancid and its smell and taste changes.
2. Rancidity in the rood stuff cooked in oil or ghee is prevented by using antioxidants. The process of oxidation reaction of food stuff can also be slowed down by storing it in air tight container.

Question 5.
Observe the following picture a write down the chemical reaction with explanation.

Answer:
The rusting of iron is an oxidation process. The rust on iron does not form by a simple reaction between oxygen and iron surface. The rust is formed by an electrochemical reaction. Fe oxidises to Fe₂O₃. H₂O on one part of iron surface while oxygen gets reduced to H₂O on another part or surface, Different regions on the surface of iron become anode and cathode.
(1) Fe is oxidised to Fe²⁺ in the anode region.
Fe_(s) → Fe²⁺ _(aq) + 2e^–
(2) O₂ is reduced to form water in the cathode region.
O_2(g) + 4H⁺ _(aq) + 4e— → 2H₂O_(l)

When Fe²⁺ ions migrate from the anode region they react with water and futher get oxidised to form Fe³⁺ ions.
A reddish coloured hydrated oxide is formed from Fe³⁺ ions. It is called rust. It collects on the
surface.
2Fe³⁺ _(aq) + 4H₂O_(l) → Fe₂O₃. H₂O_(s) + 6H⁺ _(aq)…
Because of various components in the atmosphere, oxidation of metals takes place, consequently resulting in their damage. This is called ‘corrosion’. Iron rusts and a reddish coloured layer is formed on it. This is corrosion of iron.

d. NiO + H₂ → Ni + H₂O
Answer:
NiO + H₂ → Ni + H₂O
In this reaction, reduction of NiO takes place and oxidation of H₂ takes place.

Question 7.
Balance the following equation stepwise.
a. H₂S₂O_7(l) + H₂O_(l) → H₂SO_4(l)
Answer:
Step 1: Rewrite the given equation as it is
H₂S₂O7_(l) + H₂O_(l) → H₂SO_4(l)
Step 2: write the number or atoms of each element in the unbalanced equation on both sides of equations.

Element	Number of atoms in reactant (left side)	Number of atoms in products (right side)
H	4	2
S	2	1
O	8	4

Step 3: To equalise the number of hydrogen atoms, sulphur atoms and oxygen atoms we use 2 as the coemficient or factor in the product.

Element	Number of atoms in reactant (left side)	Number of atoms in products (right side)
H	4	2 × 2
S	2	1 × 2
O	8	4 × 2
Total	14	14

Now the equation becomes H₂S₂O₇ + H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
Now, count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The number of atoms on both sides are equal. Hence, the balanced equation is
H₂S₂O₇ + H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
Now indicate the physical states of the reactants and products.
H₂S₂O_7(l) + H₂O_(l) → 2H₂SO_4(l)

b. SO_2(g) + H₂S_(aq) → S_(s) + H₂O_(l)
Answer:
Step 1:
Rewrite the given equation as it is
SO_2(g) + H₂S_(aq) → S_(s) + H₂O_(l)

Step 2:
Write the number of atoms of each element in the unbalanced equation on both sides of equations.

Element	Number of atoms in reactants (left side)	Number of atoms in products (right side)
S	2	1
O	2	1
H	2	2

The number of hydrogen atoms on both sides of the equation is same, therefore, equalise the number of sulphur atoms and oxygen atoms.

Step 3: To balance the number of sulphur atoms:

Number of atoms of sulphur	In reactants	In products
S2O	H2S	(S)
Initially	1	1	1
To balance	1	1	1 × 2

To equalise the number of sulphur atoms, we use 2 as the factor in the product, now the equation becomes
SO₂ + H₂S → 2S + H₂O

Step 4:
To equalise the number of oxygen atoms in the unbalanced equation.

Number of atoms of oxygen	In reactants (SO2)	In products H2O
Initially	2	1
To balance	2	1 × 2

To equalise the number of sulphur atoms, we use 2 as the factor in the product i.e. H₂O, now the unbalanced equation becomes
SO₂ + H₂S → 2S + 2H₂O

Step 5:
To equalise the number of hydrogen atoms in unbalanced equation:

Number of atoms of hydrogen	In reactants (H2S)	In products (H2O)
Initially	2	4
To balance	2 × 2	4

To equalise the number of hydrogen atoms we use 2 as the factor in the reactant i.e, H₂S, now the unbalanced equation become
SO₂ + 2H₂S → 2S + 2H₂O
Now, count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation, there are less number of sulphur atoms in the product. Now equalise the sulphur atoms, the balanced equation becomes,
SO₂ + 2H₂S → 3S + 2H₂O
Now indicate the physical states of reactants and products.
SO_2(g) + 2H₂S_(aq) → 3S_(s) + 2H₂O_(l)

c. Ag_(s) + HCl_(l) → AgCl ↓ + H₂ ↑
Answer:
Step 1:
Rewrite the given equation as it is
Ag_(s) + HCl_(l) → AgCl ↓ + H₂ ↑

Step 2:
write the number of atoms or each element in the unbalanced equation on both sides of equations.

Element	Number of atoms in reactants (left side)	Number of atoms in products (right side)
Ag	1	1
H	1	2
Cl	1	1

The number of silver and chlorine atoms on both sides of the equation are same, therefore, equalise the number of hydrogen atoms.

Step 3:
To balance the number of hydrogen atoms.

Number of atoms of hydrogen	In reactants HCl	In products H2
Initially	1	2
To balance	1 × 2	2

To equalise the number of hydrogen atoms, we use 2 as the factor in the product HCl, now the unbalanced equation become
Ag_(s) + 2HCl → AgCl + H₂

Step 4:
To balance the number of chlorine atoms:

Number of atoms of chlorine	In reactants (2HCl)	In products (AgCl)
Initially	2	1
To balance	2	2 ×1

To equalise the number of chlorine atoms, we use 2 as the factor in the product AgCl. now the unbalanced equation becomes
Ag + 2HCl → 2AgCl + H₂
Now count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation, there are less number of silver atoms in the reactant. Now equalise the silver atoms, the balanced equation becomes
2Ag + 2HCl → 2AgCl + H₂
Now indicate the physical states of the reactunts and products
2Ag_(s) + 2HCl_(l) → 2AgCl ↓ + H₂ ↑

d. H₂SO_4(aq) + NaOH_(aq) → Na₂SO_4(aq) + H₂O_(l)
Answer:
Step 1:
Rewrite the given equation as it is
H₂SO_4(aq) + NaOH_(aq) → Na₂SO_4(aq) + H₂O_(l)

Step 2:
write the number of atoms of each element in the unbalanced equation on both sides of the equation.

Element	Number of atoms in reactants	Number of atoms in products
Na	1	2
S	1	1
O	5	5
H	3	2

The number of oxygen atoms involved in different compounds on both sides (reactants and products) are equal. Therefore, balance the number of atoms of the second element, sodium.

Step 3:
To balance the number of sodium atoms:

Number of atoms of sodium	In reactants	In products
To begin with	1 (in NaOH)	2 (in Na2SO4)
To balance	1 × 2	2

To equalise the number of sodium atoms, we use 2 as the factor of NaOH in the reactants. Now, the partly balanced equation becomes as follows
H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + H₂O

Step 4:
Now, balance the number of hydrogen atoms:

Number of atoms of hydrogen	In reactants	In products
To begin with	(in H2SO4) 2 (in NaOH)	2 (in H2O)
To balance	4	2 × 2

To equalise the number of hydrogen atoms, we use 2 as the factor or H₂O in the products. The equation then becomes
H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + H₂O
Now, count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The number of atoms on both sides are equal. Hence, the balanced equation is
H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
Now indicate the physical states of the reactants and the products.
H₂SO_4(aq) + 2NaOH_(aq) → Na₂SO_4(aq) + 2H₂O_(l)

Answer the following questions:

Question 1.
What do you understand by a physical change?
OR
Define physical change.
Answer:
The change in which only the physical state of a substance is changed; no new substance is formed. This change is temporary. During this change the composition of the substance does not change.

Question 2.
Explain giving two examples or physical change.
Answer:
(1) Conversion of ice into water is a physical change. On heating, ice melts into water. when the water is cooled, it freezes into ice. Thus, we get ice from water by a simple method and no new substance is formed. Hence, conversion of ice into water is a physical change.

(2) Magnetization of iron nail is a physical change. An iron nail magnetized by induction loses its magnetism as soon as it is detached from the magnet which induces magnetism in it. An iron nail magnetized by some other methods can also be demagnetized by simple means such as hammering or heating it. Thus, the magnetization of an iron nail can be easily reversed to get original nail. Hence, it is a physical change.

Question 3.
what do you understand by a chemical change?
OR
Define Chemical change.
Answer:
The change in which a substance or substances are converted into a new substance or substances, possessing properties altogether different from the original ones, is called a chemcial change. During this change, the original substance cannot be recovered by any simple means. This change is permanent.

Question 4.
Explain giving two examples of chemical change.
Answer:
(1) When carbon is burnt, carbon dioxide is formed. In this process carbon combines with oxygen, therefore carbon and oxygen are reactants, while curbon dioxide is a product. This change is permanent.

(2) When a magnesium wire is burnt in air, a white powder of magnesium oxide is formed. We cannot obtain magnesium from magnesium oxide by simple methods. Properties of magnesium oxide are altogether different from those of magnesium. A new substance MgO is formed in the reaction. Hence, this change is a chemical change.

Question 5.
What is meant by a chemical reaction?
Answer:
A process in which some substances undergo bond breaking and are transformed into new substances by formation of new bonds is called a chemical reaction.

Question 6.
What is the importance of a chemical equation?
Answer:

1. Reactants are converted into products.
2. Mass is conserved.
3. Atoms are conserved.
4. The properties and compositions of the products of a chemical reaction are different from those of its reactants.
5. Generally, energy is either absorbed or evolved.

(1) The reactants are written on the left hand side (LHS), while the products are written on the right hand side (RHS).

(2) Whenever there are two or more reactants, a plus sign (+) is written between each two of them. Similarly, if there are two or more products, a plus sign is written between each two of them.

(3) Reactant side and product side are connected with an arrow (→) pointing from reactants to products. The arrow represents the direction of the reaction. Heat is to be given from outside to the reaction, it is indicated by the sign Δ written above the arrow.

(4) The conditions like temperature, pressure, catalyst, etc., are mentioned above the arrow (→) pointing towards the product side.

(5) The physical states of the reactants and products are also mentioned in a chemical equation. The notations g, l, s, and aq are written in brackets as a subscript along with the symbols / formulae of reactants and products. The symbols g, l, s, and aq stand for gaseous, 1iquid. solid and aqueous respectively.

If the product is gaseous, instead of (g) it can be indicated by an arrow ↑ pointing upwards. If the product formed is insoluble solid, then instead of (s) it can be indicated by an arrow ↓ pointing downwards.

(6) Special information or names of reactants/products are written below their formulae.

Write the balanced equations for the following reactions:

Question 1.
Ba(OH)₂ + HBr → BaBr₂ + H₂O
Answer:
Step 1:
Rewrite the given equation as it is
Ba(OH)₂ + HBr → BaBr₂ + H₂O

Step 2:
write the number of atoms of each element in the unbalanced equation on both sides of the equation.

Element	Number of atoms in reactants	Number of atoms in products
Ba	1	1
Br	1	2
O	2	1
H	3	2

Step 3:
To balance the number of oxygen atoms:

Number of atoms of oxygen	In reactants	In products
To begin with	2 [in Ba(OH)2]	1 (in H2O)
To balance	2	1 × 2

To equalise the number of oxygen atoms, we use 2 as the coefficient of H₂O in the product.
Now, the partly balanced equation become as follows
Ba(OH)₂ + HBr → BaBr₂ + 2H₂O

Step 4:
Now, balance the number of hydrogen atoms.
In the partly balanced equation:

Number of atoms of hydrogen	In reactants	In products
To begin with	2 [in Ba(OH)2] 1 (in HBr)	4 (in 2H2O)
To balance	1 × 2 + 2	4

To equalise the number of hydrogen atoms, we use 2 as the coefficient of HBr in the reactants. Now, the equation becomes
Ba(OH)₂ + 2HBr → BaBr₂ + 2H₂O
Now, count the atoms or each element on both sides of the equation. The number of atoms on both
sides are equal. Hence, the balanced equation is
Ba(OH)₂ + 2HBr → BaBr₂ +2H₂O
Now indicate the physical states of the reactants and products.
Ba(OH)_2(aq) + 2HBr_(aq) → BaBr_2(aq) +2H₂O_(l)

Question 2.
KCN + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + HCN
Answer:
Step 1:
Rewrite the given equation as it is
KCN + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + HCN

Step 2:
Write the number of atoms of each element or group in the unbalanced equation on both sides of the equation.

Element	Number of atoms in reactants	Number of atoms in products
K	1	2
CN (group)	1	1
O	4	4
H	2	1
S	1	1

The number of oxygen atoms involved in different compounds on both sides (reactants and products) are equal. Therefore, balance the number of atoms of the second element, potassium.

Step 3:
To balance K atoms:

Number of atoms of Potassium	In reactants	In products
To begin with	2 (KCN)	2 (in K2SO4)
To balance	1 × 2	2

To equalise the number of potassium atoms, we use 2 as the coefficient of KCN in the reactants.
Now, the partly balanced equation becomes
2KCN + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2HCN
Now, count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The number of atoms on both sides are equal. Hence, the balanced equation is
2KCN + H₂SO₄ → KgSO₄ + 2HCN
Now indicate the physical states of the reactants and the products.
2KCN_(aq) + H₂SO_4(aq) → K₂SO_4(aq) + 2HCN_(g)

Question 3.
CH₄ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + H₂O
Answer:
Step 1:
Rewrite the given equation as it is
CH₄ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + H₂O

Step 2:
Write the number of atoms of each element in the unbalanced equation on both sides of the equation.

Element	Number of atoms in reactants	Number of atoms in products
C	1	1
O	2	3
H	4	2

Step 3:
To balance the number of oxygen atoms:

Number of atoms of oxygen	In reactants	In products
To begin with	2 (in O2)	1 (in H2O) 2 (in CO2)
To balance	2 × 2	1 × 2 + 2

To equalise the number of oxygen atoms, we use 2 as the coefficient of O₂ in the reactants and 2 as the coefficient of H₂O in the product.
Now, the partly balanced equation becomes
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
Now, count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The number of atoms on both sides are equal. Hence, the balanced equation is,
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
Now, indicate the physical states of the reactants and the products.
CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g) → CO_2(g) + 2H₂O_(l)

Question 26.
How does the rate of reaction depend on the nature of the reactants? Illustrate with suitable example.
Answer:
(1) when the reactant combines with two or more other reactants then the rate of a chemical reaction depends on the nature of the reactants.

(2) Both Al and Zn reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, H₂ gas is liberated and water soluble salts of these metals are formed. However, aluminium metal reacts faster with dil. HCl as compared to zinc metal.

(3) Al is more reactive than Zn. Therefore, the rate of reaction of Al with hydrochloric acid is higher than that of Zn. Hence, the nature of the reactant affect the rate of a reaction.

Question 27.
How does the rate of a reaction depend on the size of the particles of reactants?
Answer:
(1) In the reaction of dil. HCl and Shahabad tile, CO₂ effervescence is formed slowly. On the other hand, C₂ effervescence forms at faster speed with the powder of Shahabad tile.

(2) The above observation indicates that the rate of a reaction depends upon the size of the particles of the reactants taking part in the reaction. Smaller the size of the reactant particles taking part in a reaction faster will be the rate of reaètion.

Question 28.
How does the rate of a reaction depend upon the concentration of the reactants? Give suitable example.
Answer:
(1) A chemical reaction takes place due to collisions of the reactant molecules. Higher the concentrations of the reactants more will be the frequency of collisions and faster wifi be the rate of the reaction.

(2) In the reaction of dil. HCl and CaCO₃, CaCO₃ disappears slowly and CO₂ also liberates slowly. On the other hand the reaction with concentrated HCl takes place rapidly and CaCO₃ disappears fast.

(3) Concentrated acid reacts faster than dilute acid, that means the rate of a reaction is proportional to the concentration of reactants.

Slow reaction:
CaCO₃ + dli.2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
Fast reaction:

Question 29.
How does the rate of a reaction depend upon the temperature of reactants? Give suitable example.
Answer:
(i) (1) When the temperature of the reactants is increased, the reactant molecules start moving with more velocity and their kinetic energy increases. As a result, the number collisions increases. Hence, the rate of chemical reaction increases.

(2) Lime stone on heating decomposes to give CO₂, which turns 1ime water milky. On the other hand, the lime water does not turn milky before heating the lime stone: because of the zero rate of reaction. The above observation indicates that the rate of a reaction increases on increasing the temperature.

(ii) Solid CaCO₃ does not decompose at room temperature when heated, it decomposes to give CaO and CO₂ that means the rise in temperature increases the rate of reaction. CaCO₃ room temperature No chemical reaction.

Question 30.
How does the rate if a reaction depend upon the catalyst? Give suitable example.
Answer:
(1) The substance in whose presence the rate of a chemical reaction changes, without causing any chemical change to it is called a catalyst.

(2) On heating potassium chlorate (KClO₃) decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen slowly.

The rate of the above reaction neither increases by reducing the particle size nor by increasing the reaction temperature. However in the presence of manganese dioxide, KClO₃ decomposes at a comparatively lower temperature and oxygen is produced more briskly. No chemical change takes place in MnO₂ in this reaction. It acts as catalyst.

Question 31.
State the Importance of rate in a chemical reaction.
Answer:

1. The use of strong acid and strong base in a chemical reaction increases the rate of reaction.
2. In a chemical reaction, if the smaller size of the reactant particles, the concentrated solution, high temperature and use of catalyst increases the rate of chemical reaction.
3. The rate of chemical reaction is important with respect to environment.
4. If the rate of chemimal reaction is fast it is profitable for the chemical factories.
5. The ozone layer in the earth’s atmosphere protects the life of earth from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. The process of depletion or maintenance of this layer depends upon the rate of production or destruction of ozone molecules.

Acidified KMnO4 oxidises ferrous sulphate (FeSO₄) to ferric sulphate Fe₂(SO₄)₃ and in addition to above K₂SO₄ and MnSO₄ by-products are formed.
2KMnO₄ + 10 FeSO₄ → 8H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2MnSO₄ + 5Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 8H₂O
2FeSO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃
Ionic reaction :
2Fe₂ + 2SO₄²⁺ → 2Fe³⁺ + 3SO₂^2-
Net Ionic equation Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + e^–
When ferric ion is formed from ferrous ion the positive change is increased by one unit. While this happens the rerrous ion loses one electron.
