English Medium Class 10 - CBSE Important Questions

The colour of an aqueous solution of zinc sulphate as observed in the laboratory is:

(1) Green 

(2) Yellow 

(3) Blue 

(4) Colourless

To show that zinc is a more active metal than copper, the correct procedure is to: 

(1) add dilute nitric acid on strips of both the metals. 

(2) observe transmission of heat through strips of zinc and copper. 

(3) prepare solution of zinc sulphate and hang strip of copper into it. 

(4) prepare solution of copper sulphate and hang strip of zinc into it. 

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.

In electrolysis of water, why is the volume of gas collected over one electrode double that of gas collected over the other electrode?

(i) What is observed when a solution of potassium iodide is added to a solution of lead nitrate taken in a test tube?
(ii) What type of reaction is this?
(iii) Write a balanced chemical equation to represent the above reaction.

Show the formation of Na2O by the transfer of electrons. 

(a) Design an activity to demonstrate the decomposition reaction of lead nitrate.

(b) Draw labelled diagram of the experimental set-up. List two main observations.

(c) Write balanced chemical equation for the reaction stating the physical state of the reactant and the products.
