(iii) Marble is calcium carbonate. Marble reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to evolve carbon dioxide gas which when passed through lime water turns it milky. The reactions are as under:
CaCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) ⟶CaC1₂ (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (1)
Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ ⟶ CaCO₃ + H₂O
The gas evolved is carbon dioxide. Lime water will become milky.

LPG is considered an ideal fuel on account of the following reasons: (i) The LPG has a large calorific value i.e., burning of even small quantity of LPG produces a large amount of heat energy. Thus, it is economical. (ii) It burns completely without any odour and leaves no residue. (iii) h is convenRead more

(i) So1ar energy and biomass energy- are two sources of energy which are considered as best form of energy from the environmental consequences. (ii) Non-renewable sources of energy like wood, coal, petroleum etc., have more demerits as compared to the renewable sources like sun, flowing water, windRead more

(ii) Non-renewable sources of energy like wood, coal, petroleum etc., have more demerits as compared to the renewable sources like sun, flowing water, wind etc. Ii is because burning of fossil fuels cause pollution and more over these sources cannot be replenished at will.
(iii) The science teacher took this issue in today reference when our energy needs are increasing day by day and our fossil fuel resources are depleting at a fast rate. Moreorver, indiscriminate use of fossil fuels causes air, water and soil pollution which directly affects our health.

According to this rule, hold the current carrying wire in your right hand such that the thumb is sketched along the direction of current. Then, the fingers will wrap around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field.
(b) Fleming’s right hand rule is used to determine the direction of induced current in a conductor. It states that hold the forefinger, the central finger and the thumb of the right hand mutually perpendicular to each other such that the forefinger indicates the direction of magnetic field and the thumb is in the direction of motion of conductor. Then, the central finger shows the direction of current induced in the conductor.
(a) State what happens when an acid reacts with a base? Name the reaction and give equation of the reaction involved. (b) Name one natural source of each of the following acids: (i) Citric acid (ii) Lactic acid. (iii) A student dropped a few pieces of marble in dilute Hydrochloric acid. The evolved gas passed through lime water. What change would be observed in lime water? Name the gas evolved.

A science teacher asked his students of standard X to collect information about various energy sources and find how each one affects the environment. The teacher also motivated them to debate the merits and demerits of each source and select the best source of energy on that basis. Answer the following questions: (i) Mention two sources of energy based on their effect on environment which the students might have selected as the best. (ii) Which of the two energy sources renewable or non-renewable would have more demerits as compared to the other and why? (iii) Explain how the science teacher took this issue in today’ reference.
