        Q.6 Give reasons for the following:
        (a) Aluminium foils are used to wrap food items.
        (b) Immersion rods for heating liquids are made up of metallic substances.
        (c) Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution.
        (d) Sodium and potassium are stored in kerosene.
        Sol. (a) Aluminium foils are used to wrap food items because aluminium is highly malleable metal. Hence, it can be easily be beaten into thin sheets. In addition, it does not react with food.
        (b) Immersion rods for heating liquids are made up of metallic substances because metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
        (c) Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution because the reactivity of zinc is higher than copper. And only a metal of higher reactivity can displace a metal of lower reactivity from its salt solution.
        (d) Sodium and potassium are stored in kerosene because they are highly reactive and catch fire when kept in open.

         Q.7 Can you store lemon pickle in an aluminium utensil? Explain.
        Sol. No, we cannot store lemon pickle in an aluminium utensil because aluminium is a metal and lemon is an acid, so they will react with each other to release hydrogen gas. And so the pickle will get spoiled.

        Q.8 In the following Table some substances are given in Column I. In Column II some uses are given. Match the items in column I with those in Column II.

        Column I Column II
        (i) Gold (a) Thermometers
        (ii) Iron (b) Electric wire
        (iii) Aluminium (c) Wrapping food
        (iv) Carbon (d) Jewellery
        (v) Copper (e) Machinary
        (vi) Mercury (f) Fuel

        Sol.

        Column I Column II
                  (i) Gold        (d) Jewellery
                 (ii) Iron        (e) Machinary
                 (iii) Aluminium        (c) Wrapping food
                 (iv) Carbon        (f) Fuel

        Q.9 What happens when
        (a) Dilute sulphuric acid is poured on a copper plate?
        (b) Iron nails are placed in copper sulphate solution?
        Write word equations of the reactions involved.
        Sol. (a) When dilute sulphuric acid is poured on a copper plate, copper reacts with sulphuric acid to release hydrogen gas.
        Cu           +                  H2SO4               →          CuSO4            +            H2
        (Copper)                  (Sulphuric Acid)            (Copper Sulphate)       (Hydrogen Gas)
        (b) When iron nails are placed in copper sulphate solution, iron will displace copper from copper sulphate solution with the blue colour of copper sulphate fading.
        Fe         +           CuSO4            →          FeSO4         +       Cu
        (Iron)            (Copper Sulphate)         (Iron Sulphate)        (Copper)

         

        Q.10 Saloni took a piece of burning charcoal and collected the gas evolved in a test tube.
        (a) How will she find the nature of the gas?
        (b) Write down word equations of all the reactions taking place in this process.
        Sol.  (a) To find the nature of the gas, add some water in the test tube. Now, shake the test tube well covering it properly. Test the solution with blue and red litmus paper. It will be observed that blue litmus turns red which means the nature of gas is acidic.
        (b) When a piece of charcoal is burnt, it reacts with oxygen to release carbon dioxide gas.
        C           +          O2   →              CO2 
        (Charcoal)        (Oxygen)       (Carbon Dioxide)

        Q.11 One day Reeta went to a jeweller’s shop with her mother. Her mother gave old gold jewellery to the goldsmith to polish. Next day when they brought the jewellery back, they found that there was a slight loss in its weight. Can you suggest a reason for the loss in weight?
        Sol. Gold jewellery is polished by dipping them in an acidic solution. When polished, the outer layer of jewellery gets dissolved and the inner layer gets visible which is shinny. As there is loss of upper layer, there is loss in weight of the gold jewellery.
