CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS:

1. Read the following and answer the questions :
On the basis of reactivity of different metals with oxygen, water and acids as well as displacement reactions, the metals have been arranged in the decreasing order of their reactivities. This arrangement is known as activity series or reactivity series of metals.
The basis of reactivity is the tendency of metals to lose electrons. If a metal can lose electrons easily to form positive ions, it will react readily with other substances. Therefore, it will be a reactive metal. On the other hand, if a meal loses electrons less rapidly to form a positive ion, it will react slowly with other substances. Therefore, such a metal will be less reactive.

Question. Which of the following represents the correct order of reactivity for the given metals?
(a) Na > Mg > Al > Cu
(b) Mg > Na > Al > Cu
(c) Na > Mg > Cu > Al
(d) Mg > Al > Na > Cu

Answer: A

Question. Which of the following metals is less reactive than hydrogen?
(a) Copper
(b) Zinc
(c) Magnesium
(d) Lead

Question. Which of the following elements is not present in stainless steel?
(a) Iron
(b) Chromium

Question. Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid. It is because HNO3, is a strong oxidising agent. It oxidises the H, produced to water and itself gets reduced to any of the nitrogen oxides (N2O, NO, NO2). But _____________ and _____________ react with very dilute HNO3 to evolve H2 gas.
(a) Pb, Cu
(b) Na, K
(C) Mg, Mn
(d) Al, Zn

Answer: C

Question. Which of the following metals reacts vigorously with oxygen?
(a) Zinc
(b) Magnesium
(c) Sodium
(d) Copper

Answer: C

2. Read the following and answer the questions :
Metals as we know, are very useful in all fields, industries in particular. Non-metals are no less in any way. Oxygen present in air is essential for breathing as well as for combustion. Non-metals form a large number of compounds which are extremely useful, e.g., ammonia, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, etc.
Non-metals are found to exist in three states of matter. Only solid non-metals are expected to be hard however, they have low density and are brittle. They usually have low melting and boiling points and are poor conductors of electricity.

Question. Which of the following non-metals is a liquid?
(a) Carbon
(b) Bromine
(c) Iodine
(d) Sulphur

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
 

Question. When a strip of zinc metal is put in copper sulphate solution, the blue colour of copper sulphate fades gradually. Why?
Answer : When a strip of zinc metal is placed in copper sulphate solution, zinc being more reactive displaces copper from copper sulphate solution and thus colourless solution of zinc sulphate is formed. Due to formation of this colourless zinc sulphate solution, blue colour of copper sulphate fades gradually.

Question. On placing a piece of aluminium metal in the solution of mercuric chloride, it acquires a shining silvery surface but when it is placed in a solution of magnesium sulphate, no change is observed. Explain.
Answer : Aluminium is more reactive than mercury. Because of this it displaces mercury from mercuric chloride solution. This mercury deposits on the aluminium metal giving its surface silvery shining appearance. Aluminium is less reactive than magnesium. Hence, aluminium cannot displace magnesium from magnesium sulphate solution and so, no change is observed.

Question. Why does zinc react with sulphuric acid to give hydrogen gas but copper does not?
Answer : Zinc is more reactive than hydrogen. Hence, it can react with sulphuric acid to give hydrogen gas.
H2SO4 + Zn ⎯⎯⎯→ ZnSO4 + H2
Sulphuric acid Zinc Zinc sulphate Hydrogen
Copper is less reactive than hydrogen. Hence it cannot displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid.
H2SO + Cu ⎯⎯⎯→ No reaction

Question. Which of the faollowing pairs will give displacement reaction?
(i) FeSO4 and copper metal
(ii) FeSO4 and aluminium metal
Answer : (i) Copper metal is less reactive than iron metal, so no displacement reaction will occur between FeSO4 solution and copper metal.
(ii) Aluminium metal is more reactive than iron metal, so displacement reaction will occur between FeSO4 and aluminium metal.

Question. What would you observe when you put some aluminium pieces in copper sulphate solution?
Answer : Copper sulphate solution is blue in colour. When we put some aluminium pieces in copper sulphate solution, blue colour disappears and solution becomes colourless. As well as reddish brown deposits are seen on aluminium pieces. These changes are observed because of the following reaction.
2Al + CuSO4 ⎯⎯⎯→ 3Cu + Al2(SO4)3
White Blue Reddish brown Colourless

 
Q.1 Give an example of a metal which
 
(i) is a liquid at room temperature.
 
(ii) can be easily cut with a knife.
 
(iii) is the best conductor of heat.
 
(iv) is a poor conductor of heat.
 
Ans. (i) Metal that exists in liquid state at room temperature -Mercury
 
(ii) Metal that can be easily cut with a knife -Sodium
 
(iii) Metal that is the best conductor of heat -Silver
 
(iv) Metals that are poor conductors of heat Mercury and iead.
 
Q.2 Explain the meanings of malleable and ductile.
 
Ans. Malleable: Substances that can be beaten into thin sheets are called malleable. For example, most of the metals are malleabe.
 
Ductile: Substances that can be drawn into thin wires are called ductile. For example, most of the metals are ductile.
 
Q.3 Why sodium is kept immersed in kerosene oil ?
 
Ans. Sodium and potassium are very reactive metals and combine explosively with air as well as water.   Hence, they catch fire if kept in open. Therefore, to prevent accidental fires and accidents, sodium is stored immersed in kerosene oil.
 
Q.4 Write equations for the reactions of

Q.5 Samples of four metals A, B, C and D were taken and added to the following solutions one by one. The results obtained have been tabulated as follows.
 
 CBSE Class 10 Science Metals and Non metals Worksheet B 2
 
Here N.R. = No reaction, Dis. = Displacement Use the above table to answer the following questions about metals A, B, C and D.
(i) Which is the most reactive metal?
(ii) What would you observe if B is added to a solution of copper (II) sulphate?
(iii) Arrange the metals A, B, C and D in the order of decreasing reactivity.
 
Ans. A + FeSO4   →   No reaction, i.e., A is less reactive than iron
 
A + CuSO4   →  Displacement, i.e., A is more reactive than copper
 
B + FeSO4   →   Displacement, i.e., B is more reactive than iron
 
B + ZnSO4   →   No reaction, i.e., B is less reactive than zinc
 
C + CuSO4   →  No reaction, i.e., C is less reactive than iron
 
C + ZnSO4   →   No reaction, i.e., C is less reactive than zinc
 
C + AgNO3   →   Displacement, i.e., C is more reactive than silver
 
D + FeSO4/CuSO4/ZnSO4/AgNO3   →   No reaction, i.e., D is less reactive than iron, copper, zinc and silver.
 
From the above equations, we obtain:
 
CBSE Class 10 Science Metals and Non metals Worksheet B 3
 
 
 
(i) B is the most reactive metal.
 
(ii) If B is added to a solution of copper (II) sulphate, then it would displace copper.
 
B + CuSO4   –  Displacement
 
(iii) The arrangement of the metals in the order of decreasing reactivity is:
 
B > A > C > D
 
Q.6 Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal? Write the chemical reaction when iron reacts with dilute H2SO4.
 
Ans. Hydrogen gas is evolved when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
 
When iron reacts with dilute H2SO4, iron (II) sulphate with the evolution of hydrogen gas is formed.
 
Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq)  →   FeSO4(aq) + H2(g)
 
Q.7 What would you observe when zinc is added to a solution of iron (II) sulphate? Write the chemical reaction that takes place.
 
Ans. Zinc is more reactive than iron. Therefore, if zinc is added to a solution of iron (II) sulphate, then It would displace iron from the solution.
 
 
Zn(s) + FeSO4(aq)   →  ZnSO4(aq) + Fe(s)
