  1. Asked: October 18, 2020In: Class 10

    What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 9:00 am

    Exothermic reaction – A reaction in which heat is released is called the exothermic reaction. Burning of fuel is an example of exothermic reaction. When methane is burnt it gives heat along with carbon dioxide and water. CH4(g)  +  O2(g)  →  CO2(g)  +  H2O(l)  +  Heat   Endothermic reaction – ARead more

    Exothermic reaction – A reaction in which heat is released is called the exothermic reaction. Burning of fuel is an example of exothermic reaction. When methane is burnt it gives heat along with carbon dioxide and water.

    CH4(g)  +  O2(g)  →  CO2(g)  +  H2O(l)  +  Heat

     

    Endothermic reaction – A reaction in which heat is absorbed is called endothermic reaction. Example – When silver chloride is left in the sunlight, it absorbs heat and turns grey because of formation of silver metal.

    2AgCl(s) Sunlight → 2Ag(s)+Cl₂(g)

  2. Asked: October 18, 2020In: Class 10

    Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction? Explain.

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 8:57 am

    In the course of respiration glucose is broken into carbon dioxide and energy is released. That’s why it is considered as an exothermic reaction. C6H12O6(aq)+6O2→6CO2(aq)+6H2O(I)+Energy

  3. Asked: October 18, 2020In: Class 10

    Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions? Write equations for these reactions.

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 8:55 am

    In a combination reaction two or more substances are combined to form new substance while in the decomposition reaction one substance decomposes into two or more substances. Hence, the decomposition reactions are called opposite of combination reactions. Example of decomposition : (i)    2FeSO4(s) Read more

    Example of decomposition :

    (i)    2FeSO4(s)                    —Heat→    Fe2O3(s)      +    SO2(g)    +    SO3(g)

    Example of combination :

    (i)   CaO(s)    +    CO2(g)                 →      CaCO3(s)

    What is the difference between displacement and double displacement reactions? Write equations for these reactions.

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 8:51 am

    When a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution, then it is called displacement reaction. While there is an exchange of ions between the reactants to produce new substances, it is called double displacement reaction. In displacement reaction one displacement takRead more

    When a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution, then it is called displacement reaction. While there is an exchange of ions between the reactants to produce new substances, it is called double displacement reaction. In displacement reaction one displacement takes place. While in double displacement reaction two displacements takes place.
    Displacement reaction
    Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)→MgCl2+H2(g)

    Double displacement reaction
    2KBr(aq)+BaCl2→2Kl(aq)+BaBr3(s)

  7. Asked: October 18, 2020In: Class 10

    Explain the following in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples each.

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 8:46 am

    Oxidation - When a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen during a reaction, it is called that the substance is oxidized. This phenomenon is called oxidation. 2Cu + O2  --> 2CuO In this reaction copper gains oxygen and hence is oxidized. CuO  +  H2  --> Cu  +  H2O In the above reaction hydroRead more

    Oxidation – When a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen during a reaction, it is called that the substance is oxidized. This phenomenon is called oxidation.

    2Cu + O2  –> 2CuO

    In this reaction copper gains oxygen and hence is oxidized.

    CuO  +  H2  –> Cu  +  H2O
    In the above reaction hydrogen gains oxygen, and hence oxidized.
    Reduction – If a substance loses oxygen or gains hydrogen during a reaction, it is that the substance is reduced. This phenomenon is called reduction.
    ZnO + C → Zn + CO

    In this reaction zinc loses oxygen, and hence called is reduced.
    MnO2+4HCl→MnCl2+2H2O+Cl2

    In this reaction Mangnese dioxide loses oxygen and hence is called reduced.

  8. Asked: October 18, 2020In: Class 10

    A shiny brown coloured element ‘X’ on heating in air becomes black in colour. Name the element ‘X’ and the black coloured compound formed.

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 8:39 am

    Copper is a brown coloured shiny element, when heated in air, it becomes black in colour. 2Cu+O2→2CuO Hence, the element ‘X’ is copper and black coloured compound formed is copper oxide.

  9. Asked: October 18, 2020In: Class 10

    Why do we apply paint on iron articles?

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 8:37 am

    When articles made of iron come in contact with the moisture present in air, it forms iron oxide, which is known as rust. Hence, to prevent an iron article to come in contact with moisture present in air paint is applied. Paint prevents the iron to get rusted.

  10. Asked: October 18, 2020In: Class 10

    Oil and fat containing food items are flushed with nitrogen. Why?

    Anshita
    Added an answer on February 4, 2021 at 8:36 am

    When fats and oils are oxidised, they become rancid and their smell and taste change. Hence, food items containing oil and fat are flushed with nitrogen which prevents them to get oxidized and becoming rancid.
