2 and 3 Marks questions

Q 1.What are indicators ? Name some common indicators

Ans. Indicators are substances that undergo definite color change in acids and bases solution. Some common indicators are – Litmus solution, methyl orange, phenolphthalein etc.

Q.2. What are alkalis? Write three examples.


Ans. The bases which dissolve in water to give OH- ions in solution are called alkalis, such as- NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2.

Q3. While diluting the acid, why is it recommended that acids should be added to water and not water to acid?

Ans. Mixing of water and acid is a highly exothermic process. When water is added to acid , due to small amount of water, evolved heat will change it to vapour and acid will spill out and may cause injury. So it is advised to mix acid to water and not water to acid.

Q4. Write the composition of baking powder. What will happen if tartaric acid is not added to it?
Ans. Baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and tartaric acid. This acid neutralizes sodium carbonate formed on decomposition of baking soda. If tartaric acid is not present in baking powder‘, the food materials such as cake will taste bitter due to the presence of sodium carbonate.

Q5. What isBleaching powder? How is it prepared and write its two uses.

Ans. Bleaching powder is Calciumoxychloride and its formula is CaOCl2. It is prepared by passing chlorine gas through slaked lime.
Ca(OH)2+Cl2 CaOCl2+Cl2
Two uses of bleaching powder-
1. It is used to disinfect water
2. It is used to bleach cotton and paper

Q.6. A student working in the laboratory added some water to a syrupy liquid taken in a tube. The tube immediately cracked and the liquid which escaped out of it, produced blisters on the skin of the student. What actually happened?

Ans. The syrupy liquid was concentrated sulphuric acid. On adding water, large amount of heat is released. For this reason the tube cracked and the acid produced blisters on the skin.

Q.7. The pH of rain water collected from two cities A and B was found to be 6 and 5 respectively. Water of which city is more acidic? Find out the ratio of hydrogen ion concentration in the two samples of the rain water.
Ans. Rain water with pH 5 obtained from city B is more acidic than the rain water of city A. The ratio of hydrogen ion concentration can be calculated as below: For city

A: pH= -log[H+]=1

6= -log[H+]
Log[H+]= -6

[H+]= 10-6

Similarly,

for city B,

we can have [H+]=10-5

Ratio of [H+] of samples

= 10-6/10-5


= 1/10

Q.8. A compound X of sodium is commonly used for making crispy pakoras. It is also used for curing acidity in the stomach. Identify ‗X‘. What is its formula? State the reaction that takes place when it is heated.
Ans. The compound X is baking soda, a constituent of baking powder. Its chemical name is sodium hydrogen carbonate and its formula is NaHCO3.

On heating this compound gives CO2 gas.

2NaHCO3 (s) ------> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 Q.
9. Dry hydrogen chloride gas does not turn blue litmus whereas hydrochloric acid does. Give one reason.
Ans. In the dry state, hydrogen chloride (HCl) does not release H+ ions. Therefore, it cannot behave as an acid. When dissolved in water, it forms hydrochloric acid. It dissociates to give H+ ion in solution and behaves as an acid. HCl (aq) -----> H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

Q.10. Why is Plaster of Paris written as CaSO4. ½ H2O ? How is it possible to have half a water molecule attached to CuSO4?


Ans. The actual formula of Plaster of Paris is 2CaSO4.H2O which means that one molecule of H2O is associated with two molecules of CaSO4. The formula for simplicity is written as CaSO4. ½H2O.

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get dissolved in it

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
