2. Bituminous coal (Soft coal)  contains 45 – 86 % carbon.
3. Anthracite coal (Hard coal - It has the highest heat energy) contain 87 – 97%carbon.
Q. How coal is formed ?
Ans: Coal is formed by degradation of wood under the influence of high pressure and temperature over millions of years is called carbonization.
Q. What is destrictive distillation of coal?
Ans: When coal is heated in the absence of air is called destructive distillation of coal.
Q. What are the different products obtain from destructive distillation of coal?
Ans:
Different products
Uses
1. Coal Gas - main constituent are H2,CH4 and CO
As a fuel in cooking food , street lighting
2. Liquid Ammonia
To make fertilizers
3. Gas Carbon
Carbon electrodes in batteries
4. Coke(grayish Black)
As a fuel and as a reducing agent in steel manufacturing,
Produce fuel gas like water gas (CO+H2) and Producer gas(CO+N2)  
For producing Carbide like CaC2,SiC , and Al4C3
5. Coal Tar (black Terry material)
To make plastics, paints,  dyes, naphthalene balls and explosives, Perfumes
Q. What do you mean by  fractional distillation?
Ans: The process of heating a mixture of many liquids having different boiling points and separating them by cooling is called fractional distillation.
Q. How Petroleum and Natural Gas are formed?
Ans: Dead plants and animals buried at the bottom of the sea millions of years ago. They got covered with layers of sand and clay. Due to high pressure and temperature, they got transformed into petroleum.
Petroleum is obtained by drilling through the earth. The crude oil is pumped out from a well as a black liquid.
Q. How do various constituents  of petroleum is separated?
Ans:  Various constituents of petroleum are separated by fractional distillation in fractionating  columns is known as refining of petroleum. The various fractions of petroleum obtained are
Fraction
Uses
Petroleum Gas
Fuel for home (LPG)
Petrol
Motor fuel
Kerosene
Fuel for stove and jet aircrafts.
Diesel
Fuel for heavy motor vehicles.
Lubricating oil
Lubrication
Fuel Oil
Fuel for Power Stations and Ship
Paraffin wax
Candles, Vaseline
Bitumen
Paints, road surfacing
Q. How is natural gas formed?
Ans: Natural gas is formed whenever vegetation decomposes in marshes, sewage and in coal or petroleum mines. It is made up of 90 % methane.
Q.What are the main uses of Natural gas
Ans: (a) it is used for producing H2 gas by heating 1250k .
(b) For manufacturing Carbon black that is used in rubber industry as reinforcing agent to make tyre.
(c) For manufacturing Petrochemical and fertilizer
Q. Why natural gas is called an ideal fuel?
Ans:  It is an ideal fuel because
 (a) Burn with smoke less flame
(b) Do not leave ash
(c) Having high calorific value about 55kgJ/g

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

By
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

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
