Average
Question 1:
How is hydrogen prepared:
a) From water by using a reducing agent?
b) In laboratory in the pure form?
c) From hydrocarbon?
Answer 1:
a) It is usually prepared by the reaction of granulated zinc with dilute
hydrochloric acid.
2𝑁𝑎 + 2𝐻2𝑂 ⟶ 2𝑁𝑎𝑂𝐻 + 𝐻2
b) By the electrolysis of water.
c) 𝐶𝐻4 + 𝐻2𝑂(𝑔) ⟶ 𝐶𝑂(𝑔) + 3𝐻2(𝑔)

Question 2:
How does H2O2 behave as a bleaching agent?
Answer 2:
On decomposition it produces nascent oxygen which decolourises the colour.

Question 3:
Discuss the structure of common form of ice.
Answer 3:
Due to the formation of hydrogen bonding it produce cage like structure.
Question 4:
How is heavy water prepared from normal water?
Answer 4:
From the continuous electrolysis of water.
Question 5:
Write the chemical reaction to show the amphoteric nature of water.
Answer 5:
Acidic character: 𝑁𝐻3 + 𝐻2𝑂 ⟶ 𝑁𝐻4+ + 𝑂𝐻−
Basis character: 𝐻𝐶𝑙 + 𝐻2𝑂 ⟶ 𝐻3𝑂+ + 𝐶𝑙−
