Chemistry
Riya was revising different types of chemical reactions studied in class. She recalled that: A double displacement reaction generally takes place in an aqueous solution where the ions of two compounds exchange places. If one of the products formed is an insoluble solid, the reaction is called a precipitation reaction. A reaction in which an acid or acidic oxide reacts with a base or basic oxide to form salt and water is known as a neutralisation reaction. To understand these reactions better, Riya observed the following experiments. (a) When hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S) was passed through a blue solution of copper sulphate, a black solid was formed along with sulphuric acid. (i) Identify the type of reaction taking place. (ii) Name the black solid formed. (b) Sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to form sodium chloride and water. Explain why this reaction is considered a double displacement reaction. (c) Complete and balance the following chemical equation ; Pb(NO3)2 (aq.) + KI ...... + ...... (d) State one observable change that indicates the reaction in part (c) has taken place.
Answer
(a) (i) This is a double displacement reaction.
(ii) The black solid formed is copper sulphide.
(b) NaOH + HCl ⟶ NaCl + H2O
Na is combining with Cl which is provided by HCl. H combines with OH which is provided by NaOH. Here, ions exchanged their partners. Therefore, this is called double displacement reaction.
(c) Pb(NO3)2 (aq.) + KI ⟶ PbI2 + 2KNO3
(d) A bright yellow precipitate is formed which indicates the formation of lead iodide.

An aqueous solution of metal nitrate M reacts with sodium chloride to form a white precipitate of a compound N. N undergoes photochemical reaction (decomposition). Identify and name M and N. Write the chemical equation for the reaction involved and also identify the type of reaction.
A water insoluble substance A on reacting with dilute H2SO4 releases a gas which turns a paper dipped in acidified potassium dichromate solution green. When the gas is passed through lime water, the solution obtained turns blue litmus red. On bubbling the gas through lime water, it initially became turbid and the turbid nature disappeared when the gas is passed in excess.
