1. The process of heating sulphide ore in presence of air is called

 
 
 
 

2. Which of the following is incorrect description of the process:

 
 
 
 

3. Pb(s) + CuCl2(aq) → PbCl2(aq) + Cu(s)

Which option explains reason for  formation of PbCl2?
 
 
 
 

4. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:

Assertion: Silver becomes black in colour when exposed to atmosphere.
Reason: Silver reacts with H2S gas to form Ag2S which is black in colour.
 
 
 
 

5. Which of the following can undergo a chemical reaction?

 
 
 
 

6. The process in which carbonate ore is heated strongly in absence of air is called

 
 
 
 

7. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:

Assertion: Nitrogen is a non-metal.
Reason: Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.
 
 
 
 

8. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:

Assertion: If Na2O reacts with HCl, it will form NaCl and H2O.
Reason: Sodium reacts with air to form sodium oxide (Na2O).
 
 
 
 

9. The reason for different behaviour (floating) of Mg in dil HCl is due to:

 
 
 
 

10. A student drops pieces of potassium and silver in beakers I and II containing water. What are products formed in each beaker?

 
 
 
 

11. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:

Assertion: The colour of an aqueous solution of copper sulphate turns colourless when a piece of lead is added to it.
Reason: Lead is more reactive than copper and hence displaces copper from its salt solution.
 
 
 
 

12. In stainless steel, iron metal is alloyed with

15. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:

Assertion: Copper does not reacts with dil. H2SO4.
Reason: Copper is more reactive than hydrogen.
 
 
 
 

16. Which of the following solutions are electrolytes?

I. Dil. HCl

18. Copper becomes green when exposed to air for a long time due to

 
 
 
 

19. A gas is evolved when dil. sulphuric acid reacts with zinc granules. It gives a pop sound when lit match stick is introduced near it. Identify the gas.

 
 
 
 

20. In extraction of iron, the flux used is
