What do you observe when
(a) dilute sulphuric acid is added to granulated zinc ?
(b) a few pieces of iron are dropped in a blute solution of sodium chloride ?
(c) silver nitrate is added to a solution to a of sodium chloride ?
(d) ferrous sulphate solution is added to an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
(e) solid lead nitrate is heated ?
(f) when dilute sulphuric acid is added to barium chloride solution ?
(a) When Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, hydrogen gas is evolved with an effervesence.
Zn+dil.H2SO4→ZnSO4+H2 .
(b) When a few pieces of iron are dropped into a blue coloured copper sulphate solution, the blue
colour of the solution fades and eventually turns into green.(c) When a solution of silver nitrate is added to a solution of sodium chloride, white insoluble ppt. of
silver chloride is formed.
AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)→AgCl(ppt)+NaNO3(aq)
(d) When ferrous sulphate solution is added to sodium hydroxide solution, a dirty green ppt. of ferrous
hydroxide is formed.
FeSO4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)→Fe(OH)2↓+Na2SO4(aq)
(e) When solid lead nitrate is heated, it decomposes to produce light yellow solid lead monoxide,
reddish brown nitrogen dioxide gas and colourless oxygen gas.
2Pb(NO3)2→2PbO+4NO2+O2
(f) When few drops of dilute sulphuric acid is added to barium chloride solution, a white precipitate of barium sulphate is formed.
BaCl2+dil.H2SO4→BaSO4↓+2HCl .
