Time 45mins
Max marks 40

Note - All questions are compulsory

Section 1
Q1
A) Explain the statements (3mks)
1. Calcium hydroxide is preferred to sodium hydroxide in the lab preparation of
ammonia gas.
2. Hydrogen chloride gas fumes in moist air.
3. Properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
Answer
1. Calcium hydroxide is not deliquescent where as other caustic alkalis are
deliquescent.
2. Hydrogen chloride gas has high solubility. The gas dissolves in the moisture
present in the air and forms a mist of droplets of HCl acid and hence fumes in
moist air.
3. When elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic numbers, there
is a recurrence of similar properties at definite intervals of time in the periodic
table. Hence properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic
numbers.

B) Give balanced equations for the following (3mks)

1. Magnesium nitride is warmed with water
2. Conversion of hydrogen chloride to chlorine gas.
3. Action of dil. HCl on a metallic sulphite.
Answer
1.Mg3N2 + 6H2O  3Mg (OH) 2 + 2NH3
2.MnO2 + 4HCl  MnCl2+ 2H2O + Cl2
3.Na2SO3 + 2HCl  2NaCl + SO2 + H2O

C) What would you observe when (4 mks)

1.Hydrgen chloride gas is passed through methyl orange solution.
2.Ammonia is passed through colourless Nesseler’s reagent
3.Dilute HCl is added to silver nitrate solution.
4.Aqueous solution of ammonia is added to a sample of ferrous sulphate solution.

Answer
1. Methyl orange solution turns pink.
2. Colourless Nesseler’s reagent turns reddish brown and on passage of excess gas a
brown precipitate is obtained.
3. A curdy white precipitate is obtained.
4. A dirty green precipitate is obtained.
D) Answer the following (4mks)
1. What is the role of concentrated hydrochloric acid in aqua regia, which is used to
dissolve noble metals?
2. Name the other acid present in it.
3. Write chemical equations to illustrate the dissolution of gold in aqua regia.
Answer

1. Concentrated hydrochloric acid gets oxidized by conc. Nitric acid and provides
nascent clorine, which combines with the metals to form chlorides.
2. Concentrated Nitric acid
3. HNO3 + 3HCl  NOCl + 2H2O + 2[Cl]
Au +3 [Cl] AuCl3

E) Electronic configuration of elements A, B and C are as follows (4mks)

A- 2,8,2
B-2, 5
C-2, 8,7
1. State the type of bonding in a molecule of B
2. Write the formula of the compound formed between A and B
3. Draw an electron dot diagram to show the bonding between B and C
4. Which element is likely to be a good conductor and why?

Answer
1.Covalent bonding.
2. A3B
3.Draw an electron dot diagram to show the bonding between B and C

4.A is a good conductor because it has 2 valence electrons and is hence metallic in
nature.

F) Answer as “ increases”/ “decreases”(Do not rewrite the statements) (2mks)

1. As we move down a group, reactivity of metals ____________ and nuclear
attraction __________.
2. Across the period electro-negativity ____________ and metallic
nature_____________.

Answer

1 Increases
2 Decrease
 3 Increases
4 Decreases
