Q.1) MCQ

a) NH3

c) 12

c) pungent odour

a) Fritz haber

a) 2NH3

a) conc. Sulphuric acid

a) dissolves in water

d) hydrogen

 

Q.2) VERY SHORT ANSWERS.

1.) Reaction which taking place in both the directions forward as well as backward are called reversible reaction.

2.) It is the stage at which the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to rate of backward reaction in a reversible chemical reaction.

3.) closed system is one in which nothing new is added to a system or nothing is removed from the system.

4.) Catalyst increases the rate of both the forward and backward reactions to the same extent as a result both systems reaches equilibrium at a faster rate

5.) 4500C is the optimum temperature in ammonia manufacturing.

6.) Two physical properties of sulphuric acid:-

  • it is colourless.
  • dissolves in water
  • highly corrosive

7.) Carbon , Hydrogen, Oxygen are the constituents present in sugar.

FORMULA:-   C12H22O11

8.) Drying agents are the substances capable of absorbing the moisture present in a substance.

Example:- conc. Sulphuric acid

9.) The precipitate formed in identification of sulphate ions is Barium sulphate ( BaSO4).

Q.3) SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS.

1.) Haber process invented by Jerman Scientist Fritz Haber for preparing Ammonia on an industrial basis. Nirtogen and Hydrogen taken in ratio 1:3, are made to combine at very high pressure( 200atm) and temperature of 4500 C to produce ammonia.  Spongy Iron is used as catalyst.

2.) In reversible reaction, the reaction in which reactant changes to product is called Forward reaction and the reaction in which product changes back to reactant is called Backward reaction.

3.) when the concentration, pressure or temperature of a system at equilibrium is changed the system will readjust itself so as to nullify the effect of that change and attain a new state of equilibrium.

4.)

NO.SOLUTIONBy adding BaClsolutionBy adding dilute HCl to this
1.MgSO4 BaSO4  + MgCl2MgCl+ H2
2.ZnSO4BaSO + ZnCl2ZnCl+ H2

5.) concentrated sulphuric acid has the ability to absorb chemically combine with water, or hydrogen and oxygen from substances in the ratio corresponding to that of water. This process is known as dehydration.

Concentrated sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent.

 

Q.4) LONG ANSWER QUESTION.

1.) Concentrated sulphuric acid cannot be used as a drying agent in preparation of ammonia in laboratory. As ammonia is a strong base , it easily gets reacts with sulphuric acid and form ammonium sulphate salt

2NH+ H2SO4→( NH2)2SO4

So it is not used in preparation of ammonia.

2.)

a) NaCl + H2SO4→ NaHSO4 + HCl

b) KNO3 + H2SO4→ KHSO4 + HNO 3

3.) concentrated suphuric acid reacts with metals and non metals and oxidise them. This nature of concentrated sulphuric acid is called oxidising nature.

C + 2H2SO4→ CO+ 2H2O + 2SO2

4.) Concentrated sulphuric acid has the ability to absorb chemically combined water, or hydrogen and oxygen from sunstances in the ratio corresponding to that of water. This process is known as dehydration. Concentrated sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent
