(d) Iron salt and water are produced.
Ans: (a)
Q.4: What is a balanced chemical equation ? Why should chemical equation be balanced ?
Ans: An equation having an equal number of atoms of each element on both the sides is
called a balanced chemical equation.
According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In other words, the total
mass of reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products in a chemical
equation. Therefore, the total number atoms of each element participating in the reaction

Exothermic reactions: Those reactions in which energy is released in the form of heat are
called exothermic reactions. Examples -
(1) All combustion reactions e.g.
CH
4
+ 2O
2
---> CO
2
+ 2H
2
O + Heat
(2) Thermite reactions e.g.
2Al + Fe
2
O
3
---> 2Fe + Al
2
O
3
+ Heat
Combinations are generally exothermic in nature. The decomposition of organic matters
into compost is an example of exothermic reaction.
Endothermic reactions: Those reactions in which energy is absorbed are called
endothermic reactions. Examples -
,
also, the reaction of photosynthesis -

Q.10: Why is respiration considered an
exothermic reaction? Explain.
Ans: For the sustenance of life we require energy. We obtain this energy from our food. In
the process of digestion, food molecules get converted into simpler substances such as,
glucose. Then glucose combine with oxygen and provide energy to our body. The whole
process is known as respiration. As because, energy is released during the process of
respiration, so it is considered an exothermic reaction. For example,
C
6
H
12
O
6
+ 6O
2
---> 6CO
2
+ 6H
2
O + energy
Q.11: Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions?
Write equations for these reactions.
Ans: Decomposition reactions are those reactions in which a compound is broken into two
or more new compounds.
Combination reactions are those reactions in which two
substances are combined to form a new substance.
CaO + CO
2
---> CaCO
3
+ energy
In above examples, both the reactions are same but show opposite directions, so
decomposition reaction is called the opposite of combination reaction.
Q.12: Write one equation each for decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in the
form of heat, light or electricity.
Ans:
(a) Decomposition by heat or thermal energy
(b) Decomposition by light or photolysis
2AgCl ---> 2Ag + Cl
2
(in presence of light)
(c) Decomposition by electricity or electrolysis

Q.13: What is the difference between the displacement and
double displacement reactions? Write equations for these reactions.
Ans: In displacement reaction, one element from its salt is displaced by a more reactive
element e.g. in following example, Cu is displaced by Zn from CuSO
4
because Zn is more
reactive.

+ Cu
In double displacement reaction, exchange of ions takes place between two reactants to
form new products.
Na
2
SO
4
+ BaCl
2
---> BaSO
4
+ 2NaCl
Q.14: In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved
displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.
Ans: When copper is mixed in silver nitrate solution, it displaces the silver because copper
is more reactive than silver.
2AgNO
3
+ Cu ---> Cu(NO
3
)
2

Q.15: What do you mean by a precipitation reaction? Explain by giving examples.
Ans: The reactions in which a precipitate is formed are called precipitation reactions.
Examples:
1. Na
2
SO
4
+ BaCl
2
---> BaSO
4
+ 2NaCl
In this reaction, BaSO4 is obtained as precipitate.
2. Na
2
CO
3
+ CaCl
2
---> CaCO
3
+ 2NaCl
Here calcium carbonate is obtained as precipitate.
Q.16: Explain the following in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples each.
(a).Oxidation
(b).Reduction
Ans:
(a) Oxidation: The reactions in which gain of oxygen takes place are called oxidation.
Examples -
1. 2Cu + O
2
---> 2CuO
2. 2H
2
+ O
2
---> 2H
2
O
(b) Reduction: The reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place are called reduction.
Examples -
1. ZnO + C ---> Zn + CO
2. CuO + H2 ---> Cu + H
2
O
Q.17: A shiny brown coloured element X on heating in air becomes black in colour. Name
the element X and the black coloured compound formed.
Ans: The shinny brown colored element X is copper. When it is heated in air, it becomes
black due to the deposit of copper oxide.

Q.18: Why do we apply paint on iron articles ?
Ans: We apply paint on iron articles to prevent them from corrosion. Paint prevents iron
from coming in contact with air and moisture. Thus, painting prevents rusting of iron
articles.
Q.19: Oil and fat containing food items are flushed with nitrogen. Why ?
Ans: Nitrogen being an inert gas does not react easily with the oil and fat present in the food
substances. But oxygen reacts easily with the food substances and makes them rancid. It
is because of this reason that food items containing oil and fat are flushed with nitrogen gas
before their packingto remove oxygen present in the pack.
Q.20: Explain the following terms with an example each:
(a) Corrosion (b) Rancidity
Ans:
(a) Corrosion: Corrosion is a process in which materials deteriorate as a result of a
chemical reaction with moisture and other chemicals present in its surroundings.
Generally, metals get corroded more easily. For example, iron in the presence of moisture,
reacts with oxygen (air) to form hydrated iron oxide also called Rust.

(b) Rancidity: It is a process of oxidation in which fats and oils present in food items are
