Write one equation for decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the form of heat.
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?
What type of reaction is represented by the digestion of food in our body?
MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
Tick the most appropriate answer.
Thermal decomposition of a substance is brought about with the help of
- reactants
- water
- wind
- heat
These consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
Assertion: Silver bromide decomposition is used in black and white photography.
Reason: Light provides energy for this exothermic reaction.
- Identify the gasses evolved at the anode and cathode in the above experimental set up.
- Name the process that occurs. Why is it called so?
- Illustrate the reaction of the process with the help of a chemical equation.
A metal nitrate 'A' on heating gives a metal oxide along with evolution of a brown coloured gas 'B' and a colourless gas, which helps in burning. Aqueous solution of 'A' when reacted with potassium iodide forms a yellow precipitate.
- Identify 'A' and 'B'
- Name the types of the reactions involved in the above statement.
Write one equation for the decomposition reaction where energy is supplied in the form of light.
A solution of a substance ‘X’ is used for whitewashing.
- Name the substance ‘X’ and write its formula.
- Write the reaction of the substance ‘X’ named in the above formula with water.
