What does one mean by exothermic reaction? Give example.
The white solid compound A decomposes quite rapidly on heating in the presence of a black substance X to form a solid compound B and a gas C. When an aqueous solution of compound B is reacted with silver nitrate solution, then a white precipitate of silver chloride is obtained along with potassium nitrate solution. Gas C does not burn itself but helps burn other things.
- What is compound A?
- What is compound B?
- What is gas C?
- What do you think is the black substance X? What is its function?
- What is the general name of substances like X?
State the change in colour observed in the following case, mentioning the reason:
Silver chloride is exposed to sunlight.
A metal salt MX when exposed to light splits up to form metal M and a gas X2. Metal M is used in making ornaments whereas gas X2 is used in making bleaching powder. The salt MX is itself used in black and white photography.
- What do you think metal M is?
- What could be gas X2?
- Name the metal salt MX.
- Name any two salt solutions which on mixing together can produce a precipitate of salt MX.
- What type of chemical reaction takes place when salt MX is exposed to light? Write the equation of the reaction.
