Question:37

Iqbal treated a lustrous, divalent element M with sodium hydroxide. He observed the formation of bubbles in reaction mixture. He made the same observations when this element was treated with hydrochloric acid. Suggest how can he identify the produced gas. Write chemical equations for both the reactions.
Ans.
M is lustrous, so the element has to be a metal.
As it reacts with NaOH, it should be a very reactive metal.
Metal + Base \rightarrow Hydrogen gas
Also the metal reacts with HCl
Metal + acid \rightarrow salt + hydrogen
The divalent element M is Zn
Zn\left ( s \right )+2NaOH\left ( aq \right )\rightarrow Na_{2}ZnO_{2}\left ( aq \right )+H_{2}
Zn\left ( s \right )+2HCl\left ( aq \right )\rightarrow ZnCl_{2}\left ( aq \right )+H_{2}
The produced gas can be identified by bringing a burning match stick near the gas. The gas burns with a pop sound, hence it is hydrogen.

Question:38

(a) Which material will be used as anode and cathode for refining of silver metal by this process?
(b) Suggest a suitable electrolyte also.
(c) In this electrolytic cell, where do we get pure silver after passing electric current?

Ans. (a)
Electrolytic refining is a process of refining a metal by the process of electrolysis.
Impure metal is made anode and is connected to the positive terminal of battery. Pure metal is made cathode and is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.
(a) Cathode: Thin strip of pure silver (It is connected to the negative terminal of the battery).
Anode: Impure, silver block (It is connected to the positive terminal of the battery).
(b) Electrolyte: any salt solution of silver like AgNO3 or AgCl,
but sodium argentocyanide (Na[Ag(CN)2]) is preferred.
(c) Pure metal from the electrolyte deposits on the cathode.

Question:39

Why should the metal sulphides and carbonates be converted to metal oxides in the process of extraction of metal from them?
Ans.
It is easier to obtain metals from their oxides (by reduction) than from carbonate or sulphide ores. So, before reduction the ore must be converted into metal oxide.
Calcination: method by which a carbonate ore is converted into oxide
Roasting: method by which a sulphide ore is converted into oxide
Calcination or roasting is done depending on the nature of ore
Example for calcination:
CaCO_{3}\rightarrow CaO+CO_{2}
Example for roasting:
2ZnS+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2ZnO+SO_{2}

Question:40

Generally, when metals are treated with mineral acids, hydrogen gas is liberated but when metals (except Mn and Mg), treated with HNO3, hydrogen is not liberated, why?
Ans.
Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong oxidising agent. As soon as hydrogen gas is formed in the reaction between a metal and dilute nitric acid, the nitric acid oxidises this hydrogen to water and itself gets reduced to NO2 or NO or N2O.
Mg+2HNO_{3}\rightarrow Mg\left ( NO_{3} \right )_{2}+H_{2}
4Zn+10HNO_{3}\rightarrow 4Zn\left ( NO_{3} \right )_{2}+N_{2}O+5H_{2}O
4Sn+10HNO_{3}\rightarrow 4Sn\left ( NO_{3} \right )_{2}+NH_{4}NO_{3}+3H_{2}O
3Pb+8HNO_{3}\rightarrow 3Pb\left ( NO_{3} \right )_{2}+2NO+4H_{2}O
So, in the reaction of metals (except Mn and Mg), with dilute nitric acid, no hydrogen gas is evolved.

Question:42

When a metal X is treated with cold water, it gives a basic salt Y with molecular formula XOH (Molecular mass = 40) and liberates a gas Z which easily catches fire. Identify X, Y and Z and also write the reaction involved
Ans.
Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) react with cold water to form basic salt NaOH and KOH respectively.
Molecular formula = XOH
Molecular mass = 40
Let the atomic weight of metal X is x
Then, molecular mass of BOH = x + 16 + 1= 40 (Given)
x = 40 – 17 = 23
Thus, metal X is sodium (Na)
Sodium reacts with water as
2Na+2H_{2}O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_{2}
Sodium (Na) liberates hydrogen gas (Z) on reaction with cold water.
So, Y is NaOH (sodium hydroxide)
Z Is H2 (hydrogen gas).

Question:43

A non-metal X exists in two different forms Y and Z. Y is the hardest natural substance, whereas Z is a good conductor of electricity. Identify X, Y and Z
Ans.
X exists in two different forms Y and Z
Y is the hardest natural substance, whereas Z is a good conductor of electricity
We know that diamond is the hardest natural substance, hence Y is diamond.
Now carbon (C) exists in two different forms called the allotropes of carbon. These allotropes are diamond and graphite. So X is carbon.
Z is graphite which is a good conductor of electricity.
X: Carbon
Y: Diamond
Z: Graphite

Question:53

An element A reacts with water to form a compound B which is used in white washing. The compound B on heating forms an oxide C which on treatment with water gives back B. Identify A, B and C and give the reactions involved.
Answer:

Element A is calcium (Ca). When it reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide.
Ca+H_{2}O\rightarrow Ca\left ( OH \right )_{2}+H_{2}
Thus, compound B is calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], which on heating gives CaO.
Ca\left ( OH \right )_{2}\rightarrow CaO+H_{2}O
Thus, C is calcium oxide (CaO)
Hence the answer is:
A: Calcium
B: Ca(OH)2
C: CaO

Question:54

An alkali metal A gives a compound B (molecular mass = 40) on reacting with water. The compound B gives a soluble compound C on treatment with aluminium oxide. Identify A, B and C and give the reaction involved.
Answer:

Let, the atomic weight of alkali metal A is x. When it reacts with water it forms a compound B having molecular mass 40.
Let, the reaction is
2A+2H_{2}O\rightarrow 2AOH+H_{2}
Molecular mass of B = x + 16 + 1 = 40
x = 40 - 17 = 23
Hence A is Sodium (Na)
The reaction involved is:
2Na+2H_{2}O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_{2}
So, compound B is sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminium oxide (Al2O3) to give sodium aluminate (NaAIO2)
Thus, C is sodium aluminate NaAIO2
The reaction involved is:
Al_{2}O_{3}+2NaOH\rightarrow 2NaAlO_{2}+H_{2}O

Question:55

Give the reaction involved during extraction of zinc from its ore by
(a) roasting of zinc ore
(b) calcination of zinc ore

Answer:

Roasting: method by which a sulphide ore is converted into oxide
Calcination: method by which a carbonate ore is converted into oxide
(a) Roasting of zinc ore: Sulphide ore of zinc is ZnS (zinc blende)
2ZnS\left ( s \right )+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2ZnO\left ( s \right )+2SO_{2}
ZnO is then reduced to zinc by heating with coke (carbon)
ZnO\left ( s \right )+C\left ( s \right )\rightarrow Zn\left ( s \right )+CO\left ( g \right )
(b) Calcination of zinc ore: Carbonate ore of Zinc is calamine ZnCO3
ZnCO_{3}\left ( s \right )\rightarrow ZnO\left ( s \right )+CO_{2}\left ( g \right )
ZnO is then reduced to zinc by heating with coke (carbon)
ZnO\left ( s \right )+C\left ( s \right )\rightarrow Zn\left ( s \right )+CO\left ( g \right )

Question:56

A metal M does not liberate hydrogen from acids but reacts with oxygen to give a black colour product. Identify M and black coloured product and also explain the reaction of M with oxygen.
Answer:

Metal M is Cu as Cu is less reactive than hydrogen. So, it does not react with acids to release hydrogen.
Cu\left ( s \right )+HCl\rightarrow No reaction
Copper metal does not burn in air even on strong heating.
Copper reacts with the oxygen on prolonged heating to form a black substance, i.e., copper (Il) oxide.
2Cu\left ( s \right )+O_{2}\left ( g \right )\rightarrow CuO\left ( s \right )

Question:57

An element forms an oxide A2O3 which is acidic in nature. Identify A as a metal or non-metal.
Answer:

Oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature
Oxides of metals are basic in nature
Given that the element A forms an acidic oxide, therefore, A is a non-metal.
Also, it forms an oxide A2O3 so it should have 3 valence electrons, i.e., +3 charge,
Therefore, electronic configuration is 2, 3
Hence, A is boron and its oxide is B2O3.

Question:58

A solution of CuSO4 was kept in an iron pot. After few days the iron pot was found to have a number of holes in it. Explain the reason in terms of reactivity. Write the equation of the reaction involved.
Answer:

Iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution as it is a more reactive metal than copper. The reaction is as follows:
Fe\left ( s \right )+CuSO_{4}\rightarrow FeSO_{4}+Cu
A portion of the iron pot gets dissolved and cause holes in this process.
Iron taking part in this reaction, produces holes at places where iron metal has reacted to form iron (Il) sulphate.

Question:59

A non-metal A which is the largest constituent of air, when heated with H2 in 1:3 ratio in the presence of catalyst (Fe) gives a gas B. On heating with O2 it gives an oxide C. If this oxide is passed into water in the presence of air it gives an acid D which acts as a strong oxidising agent.
(a) Identify A, B, C and D
(b) To which group of periodic table does this non-metal belong

Answer:

(a) A is the largest constituent of air so A is nitrogen gas.
Now, when N2 is heated with H2 in 1:3 ratio in presence of catalyst Fe, ammonia is formed. The reaction is as follows:
N_{2}+H_{2}\rightarrow NH_{3}
Thus, B is ammonia gas.
Now it is given that On heating with O2, B gives an oxide C.
Ammonia, when heated with oxygen forms nitric oxide (NO).
4NH_{3}+5O_{2}\left ( g \right )\rightarrow 4NO\left ( g \right )+6H_{2}O\left ( g \right )
NO further gets oxidised to NO2 by oxygen present in the air. The reaction is as follows:
2NO\left ( g \right )+O_{2}\left ( g \right )\rightarrow 2NO_{2}\left ( g \right )
Thus, C is NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)
Now it is given in the question that this oxide is passed into water in the presence of air (O2). The reaction will be:
4NO_{2}+2H_{2}O+O_{2}\rightarrow 4HNO_{3}
Hence nitric acid (HNO3) is produced which is a strong oxidising agent.
Thus, D is nitric acid (HNO3)
(b) The non-metal nitrogen has atomic number 7.
Its electronic configuration is 2, 5.
It belongs to group 15 or VA because N has 5 valence electrons.

Question:60

Give the steps involved in the extraction of metals of low and medium reactivity from their respective sulphide ores.
Answer:

Extraction of metals of low and medium reactivity:
1.Roasting: a respective sulphide ore is heated in air. So, metal oxide is formed.
2.Heating of metal oxide to obtain the metal
Mercury has low reactivity.
We can see the entire process for mercury (Hg) as follows:
(i) Roasting: Metal sulphide is converted into metal oxide by heating the ore strongly in the presence of excess of air.
2HgS+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2HgO+2SO_{2} (Metal oxide is formed)
(ii) Reduction: Metal oxide is then reduced to metal by heating it.
2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_{2}
Hence mercury is extracted.
Similarly, we can see for zinc (medium reactivity).
Roasting: 2ZnS+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2ZnO+2SO_{2}
Reduction:ZnO+C\rightarrow Zn+CO

Question:61

Explain the following
(a) Reactivity of Al decreases if it is dipped in HNO3
(b) Carbon cannot reduce the oxides of Na or Mg
(c) NaCl is not a conductor of electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in aqueous solution as well as in molten state
(d) Iron articles are galvanised.
(e) Metals like Na, K, Ca and Mg are never found in their free state in nature.

Answer:

(a) Nitric acid (HNO3) is a strong oxidizing agent. When aluminium (Al) is dipped in HNO3, an oxide layer of aluminium (Al2O3) is formed on the surface of the metal, which prevents it from further reaction. Thus, reactivity of Al decreases.
(b) Affinity of Na, Mg with oxygen is higher than that of carbon. This is because Na, Mg metals are quite reactive and present towards the top of the reactivity series. Therefore, their oxides (Na2O, MgO) are stable. Very high temperature is required to reduce them with carbon, and at that temperature they will form their corresponding carbides. Hence, their oxides cannot be reduced by carbon
(c) NaCl is not a conductor of electricity in solid state whereas it does conduct electricity in aqueous solution as well as in molten state. Ions of NaCl are free to move in aqueous solution to carry the charge. But in dry or solid state, ions of NaCl cannot move to carry the charge in as they are fixed. Hence, NaCl conducts electricity in molten state.
(d) Galvanization is a method of protecting iron from rusting by coating it with a thin layer of zinc (Zn) metal.
A thin layer of zinc is formed over the iron articles by dipping them in molten zinc. As zinc is more reactive than iron, this prevents iron from corrosion
(e) Metals like Na, K, Ca and Mg are never found in their free state in nature because these metals are quite reactive so they cannot exist in free state and hence, they are found in nature in the form of their compounds.

Question:62

(i) Given below are the steps for extraction of copper from its ore. Write the reaction involved.
(a) Roasting of copper (1) sulphide
(b) Reduction of copper (1) oxide with copper (1) sulphide.
(c) Electrolytic refining
(ii) Draw a neat and well labelled diagram for electrolytic refining of copper

Ans.
(i) 2Cu_{2}S\left ( s \right )+3O_{2}\left ( g \right )\rightarrow Cu_{2}O\left ( s \right )+2SO_{2}\left ( g \right )
(ii) 2Cu_{2}O\left ( s \right )+Cu_{2}S\left ( s \right )\rightarrow 6Cu\left ( s \right )+SO_{2}\left ( g \right )
(iii) Electrolytic refining: Electrolytic refining is a process of refining a metal by the process of electrolysis.
A thick block of the impure metal is made anode (+ ve)
A thin strip of pure metal is made cathode (- ve)
CuSO4 solution is taken as electrolyte.
At cathode: Cu^{2+}\left ( aq \right )+2e^{-}\rightarrow Cu
At anode Cu\left ( s \right )\rightarrow Cu^{2+}\left ( aq \right )+2e^{-}
(b)

Question:63

Of the three metals X, Y and Z. X reacts with cold water, Y with hot water and Z with steam only. Identify X, Y and Z and also arrange them in order of increasing reactivity.
Answer:

X is sodium or potassium (Na or K) as it reacts with cold water.
Na or K reacts violently with cold water.
2Na+2H_{2}O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_{2}
2K+2H_{2}O\rightarrow 2KOH+H_{2}
Y is magnesium (Mg) as it reacts with hot water.
Mg+2H_{2}O\rightarrow Mg\left ( OH \right )_{2}+H_{2}
Z is iron (Fe)
3Fe+4H_{2}O\rightarrow Fe_{3}O_{4}+4H_{2}
Order of reactivity
Z < Y< X
Or, Fe < Mg < Na (or) K

Question:64

An element A burns with golden flame in air. It reacts with another element B, atomic number 17 to give a product C. An aqueous solution of product C on electrolysis gives a compound D and liberates hydrogen. Identify A, B, C and D. Also write down the equations for the reactions involved.

Answer:

An element A burns with golden flame in air. So, A is sodium (Na) because it burns with golden flame in air.
Atomic number of B is given as 17 so B is chlorine (Cl).
When Sodium reacts with Chlorine, sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed. Hence, C is sodium chloride (NaCl)
2Na\left ( s \right )+Cl_{2}\left ( g \right )\rightarrow 2NaCl\left ( s \right )
Now it is given that an aqueous solution of product C on electrolysis gives a compound D and liberates hydrogen
Aqueous solution of NaCl, on electrolysis gives sodium hydroxide.
Electrolysis Reaction:
The reaction at the cathode is:
H_{2}O\left ( l \right )+2e^{-}\rightarrow H_{2}\left ( g \right )+2OH^{-}
The reaction at the anode is:
Cl^{-}\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}Cl_{2}\left ( g \right )+1e^{-}
The overall reaction is:
2NaCl\left ( aq \right )+2H_{2}O\left ( l \right )\rightarrow 2NaOH\left ( aq \right )+Cl_{2}\left ( g \right )+H_{2}\left ( g \right )
Thus, D is sodium hydroxide (NaOH)

Question:65

Two ores A and B were taken. On heating ore A gives CO2 whereas, ore B gives SO2. What steps will you take to convert them into metals?
Answer:

We will use the following definitions:
1.Calcination: method by which a carbonate ore is converted into oxide
2.Roasting: method by which a sulphide ore is converted into oxide
3.Reduction (to convert metal oxide to metal
Given that ore A gives CO2 on heating, so it must be a carbonate of moderately reactive metal like Zn.
Also given, B gives SO2, so B must be a sulphide ore, e.g., Cu2S, ZnS, HgS, etc.
A will be first subjected to calcination followed by reduction
ZnCO_{3}\rightarrow ZnO+CO_{2} (calcination)
To convert it into metal treat it with carbon
ZnO+C\rightarrow Zn+CO (reduction)
B will be subjected to roasting followed by reduction
2ZnS+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2ZnO+2SO_{2} (roasting)
2Cu_{2}S+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2Cu_{2}O+2SO_{2} (roasting)
2HgS+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2HgO+2SO_{2} (roasting)
Metal is obtained from these oxides either by using reducing agent like C or by auto reduction
ZnO+C\rightarrow Zn+CO (reduction)
Cu_{2}S+2Cu_{2}O\rightarrow 6Cu+SO_{2} (reduction)
