CBSE ADDA Chapter 1, Chemical Reactions and Equations NCERT Science Textbook In-Text Questions (Answers) (Page 6) Q.1: Why should magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air ? Ans: Magnesium ribbon is a very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide being a stable compound prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium is cleaned before burning in air to remove this layer so that the metal can be exposed to air properly. Q.2: Write the balanced equation for the following chemical reactions: (i) Hydrogen + Chlorine --> Hydrogen chloride (ii) Sodium + Water --> Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen Ans: (i) H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) --> 2HCl (g) (ii) 2Na (s) + 2H2O (liq) --> 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g). Q.3: Write a balanced chemical equation with state symbols for the following chemical reactions: (i) Solution of barium chloride and sodium sulphate in water t
