Which of the statements about the reaction below are incorrect?2PbO(s) + C(s) -------> 2Pb(s) + CO2(g)(a) Lead is getting reduced. (b) Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised. (c) Carbon is getting oxidised. (d) Lead oxide is getting reduced.(i) (a) and (b) (ii) (a) and (c) (iii) (a), (b) and (c) (iv) all |
|
Answer» The incorrect statements are: (a) Lead is getting reduced and (b) Carbon dioxide is getting oxidised. Hence,(i) is the correct answer. |
|
| 5. |
Identify the substances oxidised and the substances reduced in the following reactions:(i) 4Na(s) + O2(g) -----> 2Na2O(s)(ii) CuO(s) + H2(g) ------> Cu(s) + H2O(I) |
|
Answer» (i) In this reaction, sodium (Na) is changed into sodium oxide (Na2O). This is the addition of oxygen to sodittm. Since addition of oxygen is called oxidation, therefore, the substance sodium (Na) is oxidised. Oxygen (O2) is changed into Na2O. Here, the addition of metal to oxygen takes place. So, the substance reduced is oxygen. |
|
| 6. |
What is the difference between the following two types of reactions?AgNO3 + HCI ----> AgCl + HNO3Mg + 2HCl --------> MgCl2 + H2 |

|
| 7. |
Consider the following reactions:(i) Fe + CuSO4 ------> FeSO4 + Cu(ii) Cu+ FeSO4 -----> CuSO4 + FeWhich of these two reactions will take place and why? |
|
Answer» Reaction (i) will take place. This is because Fe (iron) is more reactive than Cu (copper) and so it can displace Cu from its compound (CuSO4). On the other hand, copper (Cu) cannot displace iron (Fe), so reaction (ii) will not take place. |
|

Which reaction is fastest |
|
Answer» Reactions in phases that easily mix, such as gases and liquids, occur much faster than reactions between solids. The extent of mixing of the reactants influences the frequency of molecular collisions - if reactants are more thoroughly mixed, the molecules will collide more often and thus react faster. |
