Answer

(i) When sodium chloride solution is mixed with lead nitrate solution, a white precipitate of lead chloride is seen and the soluble salt sodium nitrate is formed.

2NaCl + Pb(NO3)2 ⟶ 2Na(NO3)2 + PbCl2

(ii) Brown colour of bromine disappears when ethylene is bubbled through a solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride.

C2H2 + Br2 ⟶ C2H2Br2 + Br2 ⟶ C2H2Br4

(iii) When sodium hydroxide is added to iron (III) sulphate, reddish brown ppt is formed, which is insoluble in excess of sodium hydroxide.

Fe2(SO4)3 + 6NaOH ⟶ 2Fe(OH)3 + 3Na2SO4

(iv) When chlorine gas is passed over aqueous potassium iodide, the colourless solution changes to yellow brown due to the formation of iodine.

Cl2 + 2KI ⟶ 2KCl + I2

(v) When ammonium hydroxide is reacted with a solution of copper sulphate, a pale blue ppt. of copper hydroxide is formed which dissolves in excess of ammonium hydroxide forming a soluble complex salt [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 [tetramine copper [II] sulphate] .

CuSO4 + 2NH4OH ⟶ (NH4)2SO4 + Cu(OH)2

Cu(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4 + 2NH4OH ⟶ [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 + 4H2O
