English Medium इयत्ता १० - CBSE Important Questions

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.

1. Identify 'A' and 'B'
2. Name the types of the reactions involved in the above statement.

A reddish brown metal used in electrical wires when powdered and heated strongly turns black. When hydrogen gas is passed over this black substance, it regains its original colour. Based on this information answer the following questions:

1. Name the metal and the black substance formed.
2. Write balanced chemical equations for the two reactions involved in the above information

State the change in colour observed in following case mentioning the reason:

A piece of zinc is dipped in ferrous sulphate solution.

State the change in colour observed in following case mentioning the reason:

Copper powder is strongly heated in air.

A student took a small amount of copper oxide in a conical flask and added dilute hydrochloric acid to it with constant stirring. He observed a change in colour of the solution. 

1. Write the name of the compound formed and its colour.
2. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction involved.

Identify the product which represents the solid state in the above reaction.

Write the name and formula of a molecule made up of three atoms of oxygen.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a solid, A, are mixed with the powder of another solid, B. However when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products, C, is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product, D, floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.

(i) Based on the given information make an assumption about A and B and write a chemical equation for the chemical reaction indicating the conditions of reaction, physical state of reactants and products and thermal status of reaction.

(ii) Mention any two types of reactions under which above chemical reaction can be classified.
