Answer: Sublimation of dry ice

Explanation:


7. Which of the following involves combination of two elements ?

NH3(g) + HCl(g) -> NH4Cl(s)

2SO2(g) + O2(g) -> 2SO3f(g)

CaO(s) + CO2(g) -> CaCO3(g)

N2(g) + 3H2(g) -> 2NH3(g)

Answer: N2(g) + 3H2(g) -> 2NH3(g)

Explanation:


8. Which of the following are exothermic processes ?

Evaporation of water, Sublimation of camphor (crystals)

Reaction of water with quick time, Sublimation of camphor (crystals)

Reaction of water with quick time, Dilution of an acid

Dilution of an acid, Evaporation of water

Answer: Reaction of water with quick time, Dilution of an acid

Explanation:

When quick lime reacts with water, calcium hydroxide is produced and a large amount of heat is released. Similarly, when an acid or a base is diluted with water, heat is released making it a highly exothermic reaction.
