Topic B: Types of Chemical Reactions
17. Combination Reaction: Reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Ex: $CaO$ $+$ $H_2O$ $\rightarrow$ $Ca(OH)_2$ $+$ $Heat$.
18. Decomposition Reaction: Single reactant breaks down into simpler products. It is opposite of combination. Ex: $CaCO_3$ $\xrightarrow{\Delta}$ $CaO$ $+$ $CO_2$.
19. Displacement Reaction: More reactive element displaces less reactive element from its salt solution. $Fe$ $+$ $CuSO_4$ $\rightarrow$ $FeSO_4$ $+$ $Cu$. Iron displaces Copper.
20. Double Displacement: Exchange of ions between reactants. Precipitate: Insoluble solid formed during reaction.
21. Combination Reaction (Formation of Water).
22. Thermal Decomposition.
23. Displacement Reaction.
24. Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reaction.
25. Decomposition carried out by heating. $2Pb(NO_3)_2$ $\xrightarrow{\Delta}$ $2PbO$ $+$ $4NO_2$ $+$ $O_2$.
26. Decomposition by light energy. Used in Black & White photography. $2AgCl$ $\xrightarrow{Sunlight}$ $2Ag$ $+$ $Cl_2$.
27. Decomposition by electricity. Electrolysis of water: $2H_2O$ $\rightarrow$ $2H_2$ $+$ $O_2$.
28. Because energy is released during the process of breaking down glucose.
29. Because heat is evolved due to microbial action (Exothermic).
30. Exothermic: Heat released (Respiration, Burning). Endothermic: Heat absorbed (Photosynthesis, Decomposition of CaCO3).
Topic C: Oxidation, Reduction & Redox
31. Oxidation: Gain of Oxygen. Reduction: Loss of Oxygen.
32. Oxidation: Loss of Hydrogen. Reduction: Gain of Hydrogen.
33. Sodium (Na) is oxidized to $Na_2O$.
34. Oxidizing Agent: $CuO$ (gives oxygen).
35. Reducing Agent: $C$ (takes oxygen).
36. Reduced Substance: $MnO_2$ (loses oxygen to become $MnCl_2$).
37. Oxidizing Agent: $Cl_2$ (removes hydrogen from H2S).
38. Reducing Agent: $C$ (Carbon).
39. Substance Oxidized: $Al$ (Aluminium).
40. Reaction where oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. Ex: $CuO + H_2 \rightarrow Cu + H_2O$.
41. No. Redox reactions always involve simultaneous oxidation and reduction (electron transfer).
42. Combination / Oxidation / Redox. Mg is oxidized, O2 is reduced.
Topic D: Corrosion & Rancidity
43. Slow eating away of metal by atmospheric gases/moisture. Rust: $Fe_2O_3 \cdot xH_2O$.
44. To preventing contact of iron surface with air and moisture.
45. Oiling/Greasing, Galvanisation.
46. Coating iron with Zinc. Zinc is used.
47. Oxidation of fats/oils causing bad smell/taste. Chips, fried foods.
48. Adding Antioxidants, Flushing with Nitrogen, Airtight containers.
49. Nitrogen is an inert gas, prevents contact with Oxygen.
50. Yes. Copper: Green ($CuCO_3 \cdot Cu(OH)_2$). Silver: Black ($Ag_2S$).
Topic E: Activity & Observation Based
51. Cleaned to remove oxide layer. Flame: Dazzling White. Ash: White Powder (MgO).
52. Yellow Precipitate. Lead Iodide ($PbI_2$).
53. Hydrogen ($H_2$). Burns with a 'pop' sound.
54. Hot. Exothermic reaction (Slaking of lime).
55. Anode: Oxygen ($O_2$). Cathode: Hydrogen ($H_2$). Ratio $H_2:O_2 = 2:1$.
56. Green crystals turn white (anhydrous), then brown ($Fe_2O_3$). Smell of burning sulphur ($SO_2, SO_3$).
57. Blue fades to Light Green ($FeSO_4$ formed). Reddish-brown copper deposits on nail.
58. White Precipitate ($BaSO_4$). Double Displacement / Precipitation.
59. Brown powder turns Black ($CuO$). $2Cu + O_2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2CuO$.
60. White turns Grey (Silver metal formed). $2AgCl \xrightarrow{Sunlight} 2Ag + Cl_2$.
