VI. Answer in detail.

Question 1.
What is called thermolysis reactions?

(v) Catalyst: A catalyst is a substance which increases the reaction rate without being consumed in the reaction. In certain reactions, adding a substance as catalyst speeds up the reaction. For example, on heating potassium chlorate, it decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas, but at a slower rate. If manganese dioxide is added, it increases the reaction rate.

(vi) The surface area of the reactants: When solid reactants are involved in a reaction, their powdered form reacts more readily. For example, powdered calcium carbonate reacts more readily with hydrochloric acid than marble chips. Because powdering of the reactants increases the surface area and more energy is available on the collision of the reactant particles. Thus, the reaction rate is increased. You will study more about reaction rate in your higher classes.

Question 4.
How does pH play an important role in everyday life?
Answer:
Our body works within the pH range of 7.0 to 7.8. Living organisms can survive only in a narrow range of pH change. Different body fluids have different pH values.
Eg: pH of blood is ranging from 7.35 to 7.45. Any increase or decrease in this value leads to diseases. The ideal pH for blood is 7.4.

pH in our digestive system : It is very interesting to note that our stomach produces hydrochloric acid. It helps in the digestion of food without harming the stomach. During indigestion the stomach produces too much acid and this causes pain and irritation. pH of the stomach fluid is approximately 2.0.

pH changes as the cause of tooth decay : pH of the saliva normally ranges between 6.5 to 7.5. White enamel coating of our teeth is calcium phosphate, the hardest substance in our body. When the pH of the mouth saliva falls below 5.5, the enamel gets weathered. Toothpastes, which are generally basic ate used for cleaning the teeth that can neutralise the excess acid and prevent tooth decay.

pH of soil : In agriculture, the pH of the soil is very important. Citrus fruits require slightly alkaline soil, while rice requires acidic soil and sugarcane requires neutral soil.

pH of rain water : The pH of rain water is approximately 7, which means that it is neutral and also represents its high purity. If the atmospheric air is polluted with oxide gases of sulphur and nitrogen, they get dissolved in the rain water and make its pH less than 7. Thus, if the pH of rain water is less than 7, then it is called acid rain. When acid rain flows into the rivers it lowers the pH of the river water also. The survival of aquatic life in such rivers becomes difficult.

Question 5.
What is chemical equilibrium? What are its characteristics?
Answer:
Chemical equilibrium is the state for a reversible chemical reaction where the rate of forwarding direction is equally balanced by the rate of backward direction and the process seems like to be stopped.
Its characteristics are,

• The rate of the forward and backward reaction are equal in chemical equilibrium.
• The observable properties such as pressure, concentration, colour, density, viscosity, etc. of the system unchanged with time.
• In physical equilibrium, the volume of all phases remains constant.

(ii) a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Answer:
(i) When limestone is heated, the reaction takes place is a decomposition reaction.

(ii) When a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air, it is an oxidation reaction.

Question 2.
What is a combustion reaction?
Answer:
A combustion reaction is one in which the reactant rapidly combines with oxygen to form one or more oxides and energy (heat). So in combustion reactions, one of the reactants must be oxygen.

Question 3.
Which of the following is a combustion?

Answer:

1. Digestion of food : Not a combustion reaction, because it is a endothermic process and where energy is utilized.

Question 11.
Why the toothpastes are generally basic in nature?
Answer:
The pH of the saliva is usually between 6.5 to 7.5, when the pH of the mouth saliva falls below 5.5 the enamel coating of our teeth calcium phosphate gets weathered. That is why the tooth pastes are generally basic in nature.

Question 12.

A substance which alters the rate of a reaction without undergoing any change in mass and composition is known as a catalyst.

Question 15.
What happens during a chemical reaction?
Answer:

• In a chemical reaction, the atoms of the reacting molecules or elements are rearranged to form new molecules.
• Old chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new chemical bonds are formed.
• Bond breaking absorbs energy whereas bond formation releases energy.

The lustrous white colour of the silver anklet slowly changes into a slightly black colour. It is due to the formation of silver sulphide (Ag₂S) as a result of the reaction between silver and hydrogen sulphide in the air.

Question 4.
Why toothpaste are basic in nature?
Answer:
The white enamel coating of our teeth is calcium phosphate, the hardest substance in our body. It does not dissolve in water. If the pH of mouth falls below 5.5, the enamel gets corroded. Toothpaste is generally basic and used for cleaning the teeth can neutralize the excess acid and prevent tooth decay.

Question 5.
Why the solution of slaked lime is used for whitewashing?
Answer:
A solution of slaked lime is used for whitewashing walls. Calcium hydroxide reacts slowly with the carbon dioxide in the air to form a thin layer of calcium carbonate on the walls. Calcium carbonate is formed after two to three days of whitewashing and gives a shiny finish to the walls. It is interesting to note that the chemical formula for marble is also CaCO₃.

Question 6.
Complete the following reactions.

Answer:

Question 7.
Let us consider the following two reactions.

Which reaction will not occur. Why?
Answer:
The first reaction involves the displacement of chlorine from NaCl, by fluorine. In the second reaction, chlorine displaces fluorine from NaF. Out of these two, the second reaction will not occur. Because fluorine is more active than chlorine and occupies the upper position in the periodic table. So, in displacement reactions, the activity of the elements and their relative position in the periodic table are the key factors to determine the feasibility of the reactions. More active elements readily displace less active elements from their aqueous solutions.

Question 8.
Which of the metals displaces hydrogen gas from hydrochloric acid? Silver or zinc. Give the chemical equation of the reaction and justify your answer.
Answer:
Zinc displaces hydrogen gas from hydrochloric, acid.
Zinc is more reactive than silver.
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂ ↑.

Question 9.
Foods kept at room temperature spoils faster than that kept in the refrigerator. Why?
Answer:
Food kept at room temperature spoils faster than that kept in the refrigerator. In the refrigerator, the temperature is lower than the room temperature and hence the reaction rate is less.

Question 10.
How will you enhance the rate of decomposition of potassium chlorate?
Answer:
On heating potassium chlorate, it decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas, but at a slower rate. If manganese dioxide is added, it increases the reaction rate.

Here MnO₂ is the catalyst. Therefore the addition of MnO₂ enhances the rate of decomposition of potassium chlorate.

Question 11.
Powdered calcium carbonate reacts more readily with hydrochloric acid than marble chips. Why?
Answer:
Powdering of the reactants increases the surface area and more energy is available on the collision of the reactant particles. Thus, the reaction rate is increased. Hence powdered calcium carbonate reacts more readily with hydrochloric acid than marble chips.
