Answer question numbers (a) - (d) on the basis of your understanding of the following paragraph and related studied concepts. You must have observed that iron articles are shiny when new, but get coated with a reddish brown powder when left for some time. This process is commonly known as rusting of iron. Some other metals also get tarnished in this manner. Have you noticed the colour of the coating formed on copper and silver ? When a metal is attacked by substances around it such as moisture, acids, etc, it is said to corrode and this process is called corrosion. The black coating on silver and the green coating on copper are other examples of corrosion. Corrosion causes damage to car bodies, bridges, iron railing, ships and to all object made of metals, especially those or iron. Corrosion of iron is a serious problem. Every year an enormous amount of money is spent to replace damaged iron. How is acid produced in the atmosphere ?

Answer question numbers (a) - (d) on the basis of your understanding of the following paragraph and related studied concepts. Green colour of ferrous sulphate crystals changes on heating.Also the smell of characteristic odour of burning sulphur is felt. 2FeSO_(4)(s)overset("Heat")(to)Fe_(2)O_(3)(s)+SO_(2)(g)+SO_(3)(g) In this reaction, you can observe that a single reactant breaks down to give simpler products. This is a decomposition reaction. Ferrous sulphate crystals (FeSO_(4).7H_(2)O) lose water when heated and the colour of the crystals changes. It then decomposes to ferric oxide (Fe_(2)O_(3)), sulphur dioxide (SO_(2)) and sulphur trioxide (SO_(3)). Ferric oxide is a solid, while SO_(2) and SO_(3) are gases. Decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide on heating is an important decomposition reaction used in various industries. Calcium oxide is called lime or quick lime. It has many uses -one is in the manufacture of cement. When a decomposition reaction is carried out by heating, it is called thermal decomposition. underset("(Limestone)")(CaCO_(3))(s)overset("Heat")(to)underset("(Quick lime)")(CaO(s))+CO_(2)(g) What is the difference between decomposition reaction and thermal decomposition ?
