Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in the following Activity double of the amount collected in the other? Name this gas.
- Take a plastic mug. Drill two holes at its base and fit rubber stoppers in these holes. Insert carbon electrodes in these rubber stoppers as shown in the following Fig.
- Connect these electrodes to a 6 volt battery.
- Fill the mug with water such that the electrodes are immersed. Add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid to the water.
- Take two test tubes filled with water and invert them over the two carbon electrodes.
- Switch on the current and leave the apparatus undisturbed for some time.
- You will observe the formation of bubbles at both the electrodes. These bubbles displace water in the test tubes.
- Is the volume of the gas collected the same in both the test tubes?
• Once the test tubes are filled with the respective gases, remove them carefully. - Test these gases one by one by bringing a burning candle close to the mouth of the test tubes.
Caution: This step must be performed carefully by the teacher.
- What happens in each case?
- Which gas is present in each test tube?

What does one mean by exothermic reaction? Give example.
A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
(a) What is substance P? Write its common name as well as chemical formula.
(b) What is substance Q?
(c) What is gas R?
(d) What is substance S? What is its clear solution known as?
(e) What is substance T? Name any two natural forms in which substance T occurs in nature.
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.
(a) What is compound A?
(b) What is compound B?
(c) What is gas C?
(d) What do you think is the black substance X? What is its function?
(e) What is the general name of substances like X?
