1. (a) When an acid reacts with a base, formation of salt and water takes place. This is called neutralisation reaction. For example, sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid as under: NaOH + HC1 ⟶ NaC1 + H₂O (b) (i) Citric acid - Lemon (ii) Lactic acid - Sour milk (curd) (iii) Marble is calciumRead more

    NaOH + HC1 ⟶ NaC1 + H₂O
    (b) (i) Citric acid – Lemon
    (ii) Lactic acid – Sour milk (curd)
    (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.

    Advantages of making alloys:
    (i) For making machinery parts.
    (ii) For making jewellery.
    (b) (i) Copper and aluminium are good conductors of electricity. Therefore, their wires are used for electricity transmission.
    (ii) Iron gets rusted by reaction with atmospheric oxygen and moisture. By painting frequently, iron grill is prevented from getting rusted.

  3. 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

  4. (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

    (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, 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.

    (a) The right hand thumb rule helps to determine the direction of magnetic field of straight current carrying conductor. 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.
