(i) Concentrated sulphuric acid is added drop wise to a crystal of hydrated copper sulphate.

(ii) Copper sulphide is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid.

Answer

(i) When concentrated Sulphuric acid is added dropwise to the crystals of hydrated copper sulphate, it changes the colour of hydrated copper Sulphate from blue to white.

(ii) A colourless gas having smell of rotten eggs is given off. The gas evolved is H2S
CuS + 2HCl ⟶ CuCl2 + H2S

(iii) Colourless ammonia gas reacts with greenish yellow excess chlorine giving a yellow explosive liquid (Nitrogen trichloride).
NH3 + 3Cl2 [excess] ⟶ 3HCl + NCl3

(iv) Curdy white precipitate of silver chloride [AgCl] is obtained.
AgNO3 + HCl ⟶ AgCl ↓ + HNO3

(v) At cathode, a silvery grey deposit of lead is observed due to the discharge of lead ions (Pb2+) as neutral lead atoms.
