1. Which of the following is a displacement reaction?
Answer – (B) As Hydrogen is displaced in equation B is a displacement reaction. In option A &

D equations are decomposition reaction where a complex substance Magnesium carbonate and
lead Nitrate decompose into simpler components and option c is a combination reaction as two
components Hydrogen and oxygen combines to give water.
2. Magnesium ribbon is rubbed before burning because it has a coating of
(a) basic magnesium carbonate

(b) basic magnesium oxide
(c) basic magnesium sulphide
(d) basic magnesium chloride
Answer- (a) Magnesium ribbon comes in contact with CO2 and O2 present in air on exposure to
atmosphere and forms basic magnesium carbonate. The reaction is combination reaction as a
new product is formed. The layer of oxide or carbonate formed does not allow Mg to burn easily.
3. Which of the following are exothermic processes?
(1) (2)
(3) (4)
(a) (i) and (ii)

(b) (ii) and (iii)
(c) (i) and (iv)
(d) (ii) and (iv)
Answer - (a) as heat energy is released when quicklime is added to water and dilution of
acid in water.so the reaction is exothermic.The reaction of quicklime with water is a
combination reaction. and Option (2),(3) & (4) are examples of physical change whereas
option (1) is a chemical change.
7. Three beakers labelled as A, B and C each containing 25 ml of water were taken. A small amount of
NaOH, anhydrous CuSO4 and NaCl were added to the beakers A, B and C respectively. It was observed
that there was an increase in the temperature of the solution contained in beakers A and B, whereas in
case of beaker C, the temperature of the solution falls. Which one of the following statement(s) is (are)
correct?
(i) In beakers A and B, exothermic process has occurred.
(ii) In beakers A and B, endothermic process has occurred
(iii) In beaker C exothermic process has occurred.
(iv) In beaker C endothermic process has occurred.
(a) (i) only
(b) (ii) only
(c) (i) and (iv)
(d) (iv), (ii) and (iii)
Answer – (C) , Increase in temperature means energy released and is exothermic reaction that
occurs in A & B whereas fall in temperature means energy is absorbed and is endothermic
reaction that occurs in beaker C.
4. On immersing an iron nail in CuSO₄ solution for a few minutes, What do we observe?
A) The color of copper sulphate solution fades away
B) The surface of iron nails acquire a black coating
C) The color of solution changes to green
(D) All the above
Answer - Option (D) . Iron (Fe) is more reactive than Copper (Cu) . So Fe displaces Cu from its
blue coloured solution forming green colour ferrous sulphate gradually . The copper displaced
acquire a black or brown coating and gets deposited over Iron nails..
5. Which among the following statement(s) is (are) true?

Exposure of silver chloride to sunlight for a long duration turns grey due to
(i) the formation of silver by decomposition of silver chloride
(ii) sublimation of silver chloride
(iii decomposition of chlorine gas from silver chloride
(iv) oxidation of silver chloride
(a) (i) only
(b) (i) and (iii)
(c) (ii) and (iii)
(d) (iv) only
Answer- (A) Silver chloride decomposes in presence of Sunlight turning into grey silver metal
and chlorine gas is released . The reaction is called photolysis or Photolytic decomposition.
6. A substance ‘X’ is used in white-washing and is obtained by heating limestone in the absence of air.
Identify ‘X’.
(a)CaOCl2
(b) Ca (OH)2
(c) CaO
(d) CaCO3
Answer – (c) , Quicklime having formula CaO combines with water to form calcium hydroxide
and is used in whitewashing. Quick lime is obtained on heating Calcium carbonate known as
limestone.
7. In the double displacement reaction between aqueous potassium iodide and aqueous lead nitrate, a yellow
precipitate of lead iodide is formed. While performing the activity if lead nitrate is not available, which of the
following can be used in place of lead nitrate?

(a)Lead sulphate (insoluble)
(b) Lead acetate
(c) Ammonium nitrate
(d) Potassium sulphate
Answer - (B) lead acetate as it is soluble in water . Lead sulphate is insoluble in water the reaction will not
take place
Q.8- Barium chloride on reacting with sodium sulphate forms barium sulphate and sodium chloride.
Which of the following correctly represents the type of the reaction involved?
(a) Displacement reaction
(b) Precipitation reaction
(c) Combination reaction
(d) Double displacement reaction
A) Only (A)
B) Only (B)
C) Only (D)
D) (B) & (D)
Answer – (D) The reaction is precipitation as well as double displacement . Barium sulphate reacts with
sodium sulphate to form white precipitate of barium sulphate insoluble and sodium chloride soluble .
