Q1. What are acids?

Ans. Acids are the substances which are sour in taste.

Q2. What are bases?

Ans. Bases are the substances which are bitter in taste & soapy to touch.

Q3.Give examples of acids and bases.

Ans. Acids- hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid etc

Bases- baking soda, sodium hydroxide, soap etc

Q 4. Name the acids present in the following substances.

Substance
Acid                                    
Vinegar
acetic acid
Curd

Q5. What are indicators? Give examples.

Ans. Indicators are the special type of substances which are used to distinguish between acids & bases by showing colour changes.

Example: litmus, turmeric, beetroot, China rose extract, phenolphthalein etc.

Q6.Name the source from which litmus is obtained.

Ans. Litmus is obtained from a plant lichens.

Q7. in what forms is litmus available?

Ans. Litmus is available in the form of solution or in the form of strip of paper.

It is available as red & blue litmus.

Q8. Why do we use indicators?

Ans. We use indicators to find out whether a substance is acidic, basic or neutral, as all the substances can’t be tasted. Some of the substances are highly corrosive and hence can be harmful to us if tasted.

Q9.What happens when phenolphthalein is added to  (a) Acidic solution (b) basic solution (c) Neutral solution

Ans.
(a) in acidic solution, the colour of phenolphthalein remains colourless.

b) When phenolphthalein is added to basic solution, the colour changes to pink (magenta).

c) In neutral solution, it remains colourless.

Q10.What are neutral substances?

Ans. The substances which are neither acidic nor neutral are known as neutral solutions.

Q11. What happens when a base is put on turmeric paste? What will happen when acid is added to the same?

Ans. When base is added to turmeric paste, then its colour changes to red. If we put an acid on the same then changes to yellow again.

Q12. How will you identify weather a substance is acidic or basic using red & blue litmus?

Ans. Acids & bases can be distinguished using litmus solutions as follows:

- if the colour of red litmus changes to blue, then the substance is basic in nature.

- if the colour of blue litmus changes to red, then the substance is acidic in nature.

Q13. Ammonia is used in many household products like window cleaners. It turns red litmus to blue. What is the nature of ammonia?

Ans. As ammonia turns red litmus to blue that shows it is basic in nature.

Q14. What is the effect of China rose indicator on acidic & basic solutions?

Ans. China rose indicator turns acidic solutions to dark pink and basic solutions to green.

Q15.What is neutralization reactions?

Ans. The reaction in which an acid & a base react to form salt and water, with the evolution of heat is known as neutralization reaction.

Acid + base ------> salt + water.

Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide --> sodium chloride + water

Q16. What are salts? Are they acidic, basic or neutral?

Ans. Salts are substances formed by the reaction of an acid and base. Salts can be acidic, basic or neutral.

Q17. What are antacids?

Ans. antacids are the medicines that arte use to relieve from acidity in stomach. Example: milk of magnesia, eno etc.

Q18 what causes acidity in stomach?

Ans. Our stomach contains hydrochloric acid which helps us to digest food. When the amount of acid present in stomach increases, it leads to acidity.

Q19 How is antacids helpful in relieving indigestion?

Ans. Antacids are basic in nature, hence they neutralize the effect of excess of acid and relieve us from indigestion.

Q20. Why is calamine solution put on the ant sting?

Ans. When an ant bites, it injects formic acid into the skin. The effect of acid can be neutralized by applying calamine solution which is basic in nature.

Q21.Sometimes we treat the soil with bases. Give reasons why?

Ans. Excessive use of fertilizers makes the soil acidic, which is not suitable for the growth of the plants .Hence we treat the soil with bases like calcium oxide to neutralize of acid.

Q22.The factory waste is treated with basic substances before disposing it?

Ans. The wastes of factories contain acids. If they are allowed to flow into the water bodies, then they are harmful to the aquatic life. Therefore, factory waste are treated with basic solutions.

Q23.What is the chemical name of the following:

Common name
Chemical name
Quick lime
Calcium oxide
Slaked lime
calcium hydroxide
Baking soda
sodium hydrogen carbonate

Q24. What is the chemical composition of milk of magnesia?

Ans. The chemical composition of milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide.

Q25. What is the chemical composition of calamine solution?

Ans. The chemical composition of calamine solution is zinc carbonate.

Class 10 Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salts NCERT Activity Explanation

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get dissolved in it

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page
