Chemistry questions for class X



  1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction and identify the type of reaction and define it.  ‘Iron III oxide reacts with Aluminium and gives molten iron and aluminium oxide’.
  2. Name the following :
     (a) A metal which is preserved in kerosene
      (b) A lustrous coloured non metal
      (c) A metal which can melt while kept on palm.
      (d) A metal, which is a poor conductor of heat.
      3.   A reddish brown coloured metal, used in electrical wires, when powdered and heated strongly in an open china dish, its colour turns black.  When hydrogen gas is passed over this black substance, it regains its original colour.  Based on the above information answer the following questions.
(i) Name the metal and the black coloured substance formed.
(ii) Write balanced chemical equations for both the reactions.
      4.   (a) Give an example for a combination reaction which is exothermic.  
            (b) Name the phenomenon due to which the taste and smell of oily food changes    when kept for a long time in open.  Suggest one method to prevent it. 
      5.   (a) Write the name given to bases that are highly soluble in water ?  Give an example.
            (b) How is tooth decay related to pH ?  How can it be prevented ? 
 (c) Why does bee sting cause pain and irritation ?  Rubbing of baking soda on the  sting area gives relief.  How ? 
      6.   (a) Why is calcium starts floating when added to water ? 
            (b) Most of the metals do not give hydrogen while reacting with nitric acid.Why ? 
 (c) Write equation for the reaction of iron with steam.  Name the compound of  iron obtained.
      7.   Identify the type of chemical reaction  and also write the chemical equation for the reaction that takes place when a solution of potassium chloride is mixed with silver nitrate solution.  Write the chemical name of one of the products obtained.
      8.   What is rancidity? Mention any two ways by which rancidity can be prevented ?
      9.   Differentiate between strong and weak acids.  Identify the strong and weak acids from the following list of acids. Hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, nitric acid.
     10.  Write two observations that you will make when an iron nail is kept in an aqueous solution of copper sulphate ? Write the chemical equation for this reaction.
     11.  A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. Is there a similar magnetic field produced around a thin beam of moving
            (i) electrons
            (ii) neutrons.  Justify your answer.
     12.  Write balanced chemical equation for the reactions that take place during respiration. Identify the type of combination reaction that takes place  during this process and justify the name. Give one more example of this type of reaction.
     13.  A compound which is prepared from gypsum, has the property of hardening when mixed with right quantity of water.
           (i) Identify the compound and write its chemical formula.
           (ii) Write the chemical equation for its preparation.
             (iii) List any two uses of the above compound.
      14.  Give reasons for the following :
             (i) Ionic compounds have high melting point and boiling point.
             (ii) Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state.
             (iii) Ionic compounds are solids at room temperature and are somewhat hard.
