Science Quiz – Assertion & Reason (Chapter 1-4)

Welcome to your Science Quiz – Assertion & Reason (Chapter 1-4)

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

Assertion (A): When HCl is added to zinc granules, a chemical reaction occurs. Reason (R): Evolution of gas and change in colour indicate that the chemical reaction is taking place.

Assertion (A): Iron articles are painted so as to prevent them from rusting. Reason (R): When the surface of iron is coated with paint, its surface doesnot come in direct contact with oxygen and moisture, therefore rusting doesnot take place.

Assertion (A): Silver Bromide decomposition is used in black and white photography. Reason (R): Light provides energy for this exothermic reaction

Assertion (A): Glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and provides energy. Reason (R): Reaction in which heat or energy is released along with the formation of products are called as exothermic reactions

Assertion (A): We keep food in air tight containers. Reason (R): Fat/Oil containing food substances become rancid and their smell taste changes.

Assertion (A): 2Na + H2 —-> 2NaH. In the above equation, sodium is getting oxidised and H2 is getting reduced. Reason (R): the chemical reaction in which oxidation and redution takes place simultaneously is called redox reaction.

Assertion (A): White Silver chloride turns grey in sunlight. Reason (R): Decomposition od silver chloride in presence of sunlight takes place to form silver metal and chlorine gas.

Assertion (A): HCl produces hydronium ions (H3O+) and chloride ions (Cl-) in aqueous solution. Reason (R): In presence of water, basic solution give H+ ions.

Assertion (A): Sodium hydroxide reacts with zinc to produce hydrogen gas. Reason (R): Acids react with active metals to produce hydrogen gas.

Assertion (A): It is advised that while diluting an acid, one should add water to acid and not acid to water keeping the solution continously stirred. Reason (R): The process of dissolving an acid into water is highy exothermic.

Assertion (A): Phenophthalene gives pink colour in basic solution. Reason (R): Phenophthalene is a natural indicator.

Assertion (A): Fresh milk in which baking soda is added, takes longer time to set as curd. Reason (R): Baking soda decreases the pH value of fresh milk to below 6.

Assertion (A): The pH of sodium chloride is seven. Reason (R): The value of pH ranging from 0 to 14.

Assertion (A): On heating gypsum gets converted to plaster of paris. Reason (R): Gypsum loses water molecules on heating at 373K temperature.

Assertion (A): Pure water is neither acidic nor basic. Reason (R): The pH of a solution is inversely proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ions in it.

Assertion (A): Oxides of metals show basic characters. Reason (R): Oxides of metals react with acids to form salt and water.

Assertion (A): In the following reaction, ZnO+ C ——-> Zn + CO, ZnO undergoes reduction. Reason (R): Carbon is the reducing agent that reduces ZnO to Zn.

Assertion (A): Food cans are coated with Tin and not with Zinc. Reason (R): Zinc is more reactive than Tin.

Assertion (A): Carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, which is an acidic oxide. Reason (R): Non0metals form acidic oxides.

Assertion (A): Alloys are commonly used in electrical heating devices like electric iron and heater. Reason (R): Alloys have lower melting points than their constituent metals.

Assertion (A): A piece of zinc metal gets reddish brown coating when kept in copper sulphate solution for sometime. Reason (R): Copper is more reactive metal then zinc.

Assertion (A): Zinc carbonate is heated strongly in the presence of air to form zinc oxide and carbon dioxide. Reason (R): calcination is the process in which a carbonate ore is heated strongly in the absence of air to convert into metal oxide.

Assertion (A): Magnesium chloride is ionic compound. Reason (R): Metals and Non-metals react by mutual transfer of electrons.

Assertion (A): Highly reactive metals are obtained by electrolytic reduction. Reason (R): In electrolytic reduction, metal is deposited at the cathode.

Assertion (A): Hydrogen is not a metal but it has been assigned a place in the reactivity series of metals. Reason (R): Hdrogen has a tendency to lose electron and forms a positive ion H+.

Assertion (A): When lead vessel is kept in a solution of Zinc sulphate, lead will remain unaffected. Reason (R): Lead is less reactive than Zinc

Assertion (A): Zinc becomes dull in moist air. Reason (R): Zinc is coated by thin film of its basic carbonate in moist air.

Assertion (A): Carbon has a strong tendency to either lose or gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. Reason (R): Carbon has four elements in its outermost shell and has tendency to share electrons with carbon or other elements.

Assertion (A): Carbon shows maximum catenation property in the periodic table. Reason (R): Carbon has small size and thus forms strong C-C bond.

Assertion (A): Graphite is slippery to touch. Reason (R): The various layers of carbon atoms in graphite are held together by weak van der waals forces.

Assertion (A): Following are the members of a homologous series: CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, CH3CH2CH2OH. Reason (R): A series of compounds with same functional group but differing by -CH2- unit called a homologous series.

Assertion (A): When ethanol is heated at 443K with excess conc. H2SO4, ethene is obtained. Reason (R): Conc. H2SO4 acts as a dehydrating agent.

Assertion (A): The functional group present in alchohols is -OH. Reason (R): It is the same group as present in water, hence, water and alchohol have similar properties.

Assertion (A): Vegetable oils are healthier than animal fats. Reason (R): Vegetable oils generally have long unsaturated carbon chains while animal fats have saturated carbon chains.

Assertion (A): If the first member of homologous series is propanone, its third member will be 2-pentanone. Reason (R): All the members of homologous series show similar chemical properties.

Assertion (A): Cooking oil doesnot decolourize bromine water. Reason (R): Cooking oil is an unsaturated compound.

Assertion (A): Ethanoic acid is also known as glacial acetic acid. Reason (R): The melting point of pure ethanoic acid is 290K and hence it often freezes during winters in cold climates.

Assertion (A): Diamond doesnot conduct electricity. Reason (R): Diamond has high refractive Index.

Assertion (A): Alchohol cannot be used as an additive in petrol. Reason (R): Alchohol give rise to CO2 and H2O when burnt in sufficient air.

Assertion (A): In a candel, wax vapours burn in sufficient supply of oxygen, which leads to blue flame. Reason (R): When the oxygen supply is sufficient, then fuels burn completely producing a blue flame.
