Question
When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
(a) What type of change occurs when solid A is dissolved in water ? Why ?
(b) What type of change occurs when solid D is dissolved in water ? Why ?
(c) Name a metal which you think could behave like solid A. Also name the products B and C.
(d) Name the solid D if it is the one which is used in making ordinary dry cells.
(e) Name the process by which D can be recovered from E.

Solution
- When solid A is dissolved in water, chemical change takes place. This is because the properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A and water.
- Physical change occurs when solid D is dissolved in water. This is because product E shows the properties of both, solid D and water.
- Sodium metal could behave like solid A.
Product B is sodium hydroxide.
Product C is hydrogen. - Solid D is ammonium chloride.
- D can be recovered from E by evaporation.
