1. Which of the following salts does not contain water of crystallization ?

Gypsum

Blue vitriol

Washing soda

Baking soda

Answer: Baking soda

Explanation:

Baking soda does not contain water of crystallization. The chemical formula of baking soda is NaHCO3. Its formula does not show any association with water molecules. Other three contain water of crystallization blue vitriol (CuSO4.5H2O), washing soda (Na2CO3.10H2O) and gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O).


2. Payal is writing some statements, choose the correct statement ?

Phenolphthalein indicator gives colourless in acid solution, and pink colour in basic solution.

Sodium hydroxide solution turns red litmus to blue, so sodium hydroxide solution is basic in nature.

3. Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, When added to acetic acid, evolves a gas. which of the following statements are true about the gas evolved ?

It turns lime water milky, and it has a pungent odour.

It extinguishes a burning splinter, it dissolves in a solution of sodium hydroxide, and it has a pungent odour.

It turns lime water milky, and it extinguishes a burning splinter.

It turns lime water milky, and it extinguishes a burning splinter, and it dissolves in a solution of sodium hydroxide.

Answer: It turns lime water milky, and it extinguishes a burning splinter, and it dissolves in a solution of sodium hydroxide.

Explanation:

When sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to acetic acid, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is evolved. Sodium hydrogen carbonate + Acetic acid -> Sodium acetate + water + carbon dioxide You can easily understand by this equation: NaHCO3 + CH3COOH -> CH3COONa + H2O + CO2


4. To protect tooth decay we are advised to brush our teeth regularly. The nature of toothpaste commonly used is ?

Basic

Corrosive

Acidic

Neutral

Answer: Basic

Explanation:

Toothpastes we generally contain mild bases such as sodium fluoride or sodium bicarbonate in their composition. The base reacts with the acid formed during tooth decay and neutralises its bad effects thus, preventing tooth decay. Note: When we eat food containing sugar, then the bacteria present in our mouth break down the sugar to form acids (such as lactic acid). Thus, acid is formed in the mouth after a sugary food has been eaten. This acid lowers the pH in the mouth (making it acidic). Tooth decay starts when the pH of acid formed in the mouth falls below 5.5.
