State true or false.

In a chemical equation, the products are written on the left-hand side and the reactants on the right-hand side with an arrow in between.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

It is the convention to place the reactants on the left side of a chemical equation and the products on the right side.

The arrow between the reactants and products should point from left to right or if the reaction is proceeding both ways, point in both directions.

Hence, it is a false statement.

Correct statement should be:

In a chemical equation, the

r e a c t a n t s

$reactants$ are written on the left-hand side and the

p r o d u c t s

$products$ on the right-hand side with an arrow in between.

Explanation

The blue coloured solution is

C u S O_{4}

$CuSO_4$ solution. Iron

(F e)

$(Fe)$ is more reactive than copper

(C u)

$(Cu)$ . So,

F e

$Fe$ displaces

C u

$Cu$ from the

C u S O_{4}

$CuSO_4$ solution and forms

F e S O_{4}

$FeSO_4$ solution which is green in color. Brown-red deposition in a test tube is of copper. Such types of reactions are called displacement reactions.

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
0%
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
0%
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
0%
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Explanation

$\textbf{Correct option:}$ (C)

$\textbf{Explanation :}$

$\bullet$ A redox reaction is one which involves both oxidation and reduction reaction simultaneously.

$\bullet$ In this reaction the $Cl^{-}$ in $HCl$ is oxidised to $Cl_2$ while the $Mn^{4+}$ in $MnO_2$ is reduced to $Mn^{2+}$ in $MnCl_2$ .

$\bullet$ So, the assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

$\textbf{Conclusion:}$

Hence, the correct option is (C).

What happens when a piece of zinc metal is added to copper sulphate solution?

0%
Decomposition reaction
0%
Displacement reaction
0%
Double displacement reaction
0%
Precipitation reaction

Explanation

When zinc metal is added to a solution of copper sulphate (

C u S O_{4}

$CuSO_{4}$ ), the blue colour of the latter changes to colourless as zinc sulphate (

Z n S O_{4}

$ZnSO_{4}$ ) is formed.

In this displacement reaction, zinc being more active metal than copper displaces it to form zinc sulphate, as shown below:

Z n (s) + C u S O_{4} (a q) \to Z n S O_{4} (a q) + C u (s)

$Zn(s) + CuSO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + Cu(s)$
(blue) (colourless)

0%

0%

0%
A decomposition reaction
0%
A double displacement reaction

Explanation

A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction where part of one reactant is replaced by part of another reactant.

C u S O_{4} + H_{2} S \to C u S + H_{2} S O_{4}

$CuSO_4 + H_2S \rightarrow CuS + H_2SO_4$

In the double displacement reaction between aqueous potassium iodide and aqueous lead nitrate, a yellow precipitate of lead iodide is formed. While performing the activity if lead nitrate is not available, which of the following can be used in place of lead nitrate?

0%
Lead sulphate (insoluble)
0%
Lead acetate
0%
Ammonium nitrate
0%
Potassium sulphate

Explanation

2 K I (a q) + P b (N O_{3})_{2} (a q) \to P b I_{2} (s) + 2 K N O_{3}

$2KI(aq) + Pb(NO_{3})_{2}(aq) \rightarrow PbI_{2}(s) + 2KNO_{3}$
In the above double displacement reaction, potassium Iodide(KI) and lead nitrate (

P b (N O_{3})_{2}

$Pb(NO_{3})_{2}$ ) dissociate in their aqueous states to form ions. The lead (

P b^{2 +}

$Pb^{2+}$ ) ions combine with the iodide (

I^{-}

$I^{-}$ ) ions to form precipitates of lead iodide (

P b I_{2}

$PbI_{2}$ ). If Lead sulphate is used in place of lead nitrate, no precipitates of lead iodide will be formed, because lead sulphate being insoluble in water does not give

P b^{2 +}

$Pb^{2+}$ ions which can combine with

I^{-}

$I^{-}$ to form

P b I_{2}

$PbI_{2}$ . On the other hand, lead acetate dissociates in aqueous state to give

P b^{2 +}

$Pb^{2+}$ ions and

C H_{3} C O O^{-}

$CH_{3}COO^{-}$ ions . Therefore potassium iodide combines with lead acetate to form precipitates of lead iodide and potassium acetate.

2 K I (a q) + P b (C H_{3} C O O)_{2} (a q) \to P b I_{2} (s) + 2 C H_{3} C O O K

$2KI(aq) + Pb(CH_{3}COO)_{2}(aq) \rightarrow PbI_{2}(s) + 2CH_{3}COOK$

In which of the following chemical equations, the abbreviations represent the correct states of the reactants and products involved at reaction temperature?

0%
$2H_{2}(l)+O_{2}(l) \rightarrow 2H_{2}O(g)$
0%
$2H_{2}(g) + O_{2}(l) \rightarrow 2H_{2}O(l)$
0%
$2H_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2H_{2}O(l)$
0%
$2H_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2H_{2}O(g)$

Explanation

Hydrogen and oxygen are correctly mentioned in the gaseous state and the product water in a liquid state.

H_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) \to 2 H_{2} O (l)

$H_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2H_{2}O(l)$

Hence, option C is correct.

Magnesium ribbon is burnt in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas to form solid magnesium nitride. This is a :

0%
decomposition reaction
0%
combination reaction
0%
displacement reaction
0%
double displacement reaction

Explanation

Reaction of magnesium with nitrogen is a combination reaction as these two reactants (

M g

$Mg$ and

N_{2}

$N_{2}$ ) combine together to form a single product as magnesium nitride (

M g_{3} N_{2}

$Mg_{3}N_{2}$ ). The equation can be written as:

3 M g (s) + N_{2} (g) \to M g_{3} N_{2} (s)

$3Mg(s) + N_{2}(g) \rightarrow Mg_{3}N_{2}(s)$
