(a) H+ ions and HSO4- ions (b) Na+ ions and CH3COO- ions
(ii) Explain the following.(a) Concentrated sulphuric acid is a dehydrating agent.
(H₂SO₄) is a strong dehydrating agent because it has a high affinity for water. It can remove water molecules from

makes sulfuric acid a useful agent in various dehydration reactions
(b) Electrolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a redox reaction. [2]
The electrolysis of molten lead bromide (PbBr₂) is a redox reaction because it involves both oxidation and reduction
processes:At the anode (positive electrode), bromine ions (Br⁻) lose electrons (oxidation) to form bromine gas
(Br₂).At the cathode (negative electrode), lead ions (Pb²⁺) gain electrons (reduction) to form lead metal
(Pb).Therefore, both oxidation and reduction occur during this process, making it a redox reaction.

water:Reaction: When copper carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), it forms copper
chloride (CuCl₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water.The carbon dioxide gas produced will turn lime water
(Ca(OH)₂) milkyReaction: CuCO3+2HCl→CuCl2+CO2+H2OTest with lime water: The CO₂ reacts with lime
water to form calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), which makes the solution milky:CO2+Ca(OH)2→CaCO3+H2O
(b) HCl gas comes in contact with ammonia solution:
 When hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) comes in contact with ammonia solution (NH₃ in water), it
forms ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl), which appears as a white smoke or fume.
 Reaction: NH3+HCl→NH4Cl
(c) Lead nitrate solution is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid and the resulting product is heated and

acid. Upon cooling, lead chloride re-crystallizes.

(C₄H₁₀): (CH3)3C−CH3
(iii)Write balanced equations for the substitution reactions of the compound
identified when it reacts with chlorine. [2]
The compound identified in (c) is methane (CH₄). When methane reacts with chlorine, it undergoes substitution
to form chloroform (CHCl₃) or other chlorinated derivatives depending on the conditions. The reaction proceeds
as follows:
First step of substitution:
CH4+Cl2→hvCH3Cl+HCl
Second step (continuation of substitution) to form chloroform:
CH3Cl+2Cl2→CHCl3+3HCl
(iv) Give balanced equation for the reaction of anyone hydrocarbon with Br2 and mention
the advantage of the reaction. [1]
A common reaction is ethene (C₂H₄) with bromine (Br₂). Ethene, an unsaturated hydrocarbon, reacts
with bromine to form a dibromoalkane.Balanced equation for the reaction of ethene with bromine:
C2H4+Br2→C2H4Br2
This reaction is used to test for unsaturation in a compound. The decolorization of bromine solution
indicates the presence of double bonds in alkenes and alkynes. This test is useful in identifying
unsaturated hydrocarbons.
(v)Answer the following questions related to the brown ring test for nitrate ion.
(a) Name the reagents used in this test. Iron (II) sulphate and con.H2SO4 sulphuric acid.
(b) Chemical name and formula of the product formed. FeSO4.NO and Nitroso Ferrous sulphate
(c) The brown ring disappears on shaking .Give reason. [3]
The brown ring disappears upon shaking because the complex formed is unstable and can decompose
when disturbed. This leads to the dissociation of the iron (III) nitrate complex, causing the brown
colour (from the iron (III) complex) to fade
Question7
(i) (a) Esterfication. (b) Glacial acetic acid [2
Esterification is the chemical reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol to form an ester and water. The
general reaction is: R−COOH+R′−OH→(H2SO4 )R−COOR′+H2O Here, R-COOH is a carboxylic acid, R'-OH is an alcohol,
and R-COOR' is the ester.
(b) Glacial Acetic Acid refers to pure acetic acid (CH₃COOH), which is undiluted and in a solid state at temperatures
below 16.7°C. It is called "glacial" because it solidifies just below room temperature.
(ii) Sulphuric acid is manufactured by contact process.
(a) Give two balanced chemical equations to obtain SO2 in this process. [1]
S + O2  SO2 , 2FeS + O2 2 FeO + 2SO2
(b)Give the conditions for the oxidation of SO2. [0.5]
Catalyst vanadium pentoxide, temp. 400-5000C, pressure 2 atm.
(c)Write the equations for the following.
The reactions which takes place in catalyst chamber, absorption tower
and in dilution tank. [1.5]
2SO2 + O2 2 SO3, SO3 + H2SO4 H2S2O7, H2S2O7 2H2SO4
(d)Why H2SO4 is not obtained by directly dissolving SO3 in water? [1]
Directly dissolving sulfur trioxide (SO₃) in water is dangerous because the reaction is highly exothermic
and leads to the formation of a dense mist of sulfuric acid, causing violent splattering and corrosion.
Instead, SO₃ is first dissolved in concentrated H₂SO₄ to form oleum, which can be safely diluted to
produce sulfuric acid.

thanol) (e) A neutral gas can be obtained in pure state by heating a mixture of Ammonium
chloride and a substance A. Name the substance A. and give an equation for the reaction. [1]
