Answer.1: Magnesium ribbon is a very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide being a stable compound prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium is cleaned before burning in air to remove this layer so that the metal can be exposed to air properly.   

Answer.2:

(i) H₂ (g) + Cl₂ (g) –––> 2HCl (g)

(ii) 2Na (s) + 2H₂O (liq) –––> 2NaOH (aq) + H₂ (g).

Answer.3:

(i) BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) –––> BaSO₄ (s) + 2NaCl (aq)

(ii) NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) –––> NaCl (aq) + H₂O (liq)

Answer.1:

(i) The substance X is lime which is used for white washing. Its formula is CaO.

(ii) CaO + H₂O –––> Ca(OH)₂ + Heat

Answer.2: water contains two parts of hydrogen and one part oxygen. Therefore, during the electrolysis of water the amount of hydrogen gas collected in one of the test tubes is double than that of the oxygen produced and collected in the other test tube.

Answer.1: Iron is more reactive than copper. So, when an iron nail is dipped in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from its solution to form iron sulphate, which is green in color.

Fe (s) + CuSO₄ (aq) –––> FeSO₄ (aq) + Cu (s)   

Hence, the blue color of copper sulphate solution changes into green color because of this displacement reaction.  

Ans: When lead (II) nitrate is mixed with potassium iodide, potassium nitrate and lead iodide are formed.

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2KI –––> 2KNO₃ + PbI₂

Na₂CO₃ (aq) + CaCl₂ (aq) –––> CaCO₃ (s) + 2NaCl (aq)

Here sodium carbonate and calcium chloride exchange ions to form two new compounds.

Ans:

(i) Sodium (Na) is oxidized to Na₂O.

(ii) CuO (Copper oxide) is reduced to Cu, while H₂ gas is oxidized to H₂O.
