[ ANSWERS]

01. (b)
02. (c)
03. (d)
04. (c)
05. (c)
06. Washing soda undergoes efflorescence.

7. Chemical name – Sodium carbonate decca hydrate

Raw materials – Brine, Lime stone, Ammonia

8. It in the process of the loss of molecules of water of crystallization from a substance when
exposed to air for example

9. Sodium hydrogen carbonate is an essential ingredient in antacids because it neutralizes

the effect of which is released in the stomach. So it is called as an antacid

10. (a) Raw materials used are - lime stone or and

(b) Sodium hydrogen carbonate is sparingly soluble or less soluble in water and

it gets separated as a precipitate while NH4Cl remains in solution. This precipitate is

removed by filtration.
11. (i)

(ii)

(iii)

12. (a) The solution is neutral in nature

(b)

(c) 1 M NaOH solution (basic) higher pH Value

1 M HCl solution (acidic) lower pH Value

13. (a) It will nit undergo any colour change because solution of Na2SO4 in water is almost

neutral.
(b) In the acidic solution, the colour of methyl Orange will change to reddish.
(c) FeCl3 solution on reacting with water will form ferric hydroxide and hydrochloric acid.

Since the acid is strong, the solution will be acidic. Therefore the colour of blue litmus will
turn to red.

14. (a)

For city A

For city B

(b) Increasing order of PH values

Lemon juice < Blood <NaOH solution.
