III.Match the following

IV. Answer briefly.

1. What are the sources of oxygen?.

2. Mention the physical properties of oxygen.

• Oxygen is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas.
• It is a poor conductor of heat and electricity
• Oxygen dissolves readily in cold water
• It supports combustion.

3. List out the uses of nitrogen.

• Liquid nitrogen is used as a refrigerant.
• It provides an inert atmosphere for conducting certain chemical reactions.
• It is used for inflating tyres of vehicles.

4. Write about the reaction of nitrogen with non metals.

Nitrogen reacts with non-metals like hydrogen, oxygen etc., at high temperature to form their corresponding nitrogen compounds.

Example:

5. What is global warming?

Global warming refers to an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere or simply it is the warming of the earth.

6. What is dry Ice? What are its uses?

• Solid carbon dioxide is called dry ice
• Dry ice is used as a refrigerant.

V. Answer In detall.

1. What happens when carbon dioxide Is passed through lime water? Write the equation for this reaction.

When a limited amount of CO₂, is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of insoluble calcium carbonate.

Ca(OH)₂    +    CO₂    —>   CaCO₃   +   H₂O

Calclum carbonate

When an excess amount of CO, is passed through lime water, it first turns milky and the milkyness disappears due to the formation of soluble calcium hydrogen carbonate, Ca(HCO₃)₂

2. Name the compounds produced when the following substances burn In oxygen.

a) Carbon b) Sulphur c) Phosphorous d) Magnesium e) Iron f) Sodium

3. How does carbon dioxide react with the following?

a) Potasslum:

When carbon dioxide react with potassium it gives potassium carbonate.

b) Lime water:

When alimited amounted of CO, is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of insoluble calcium carbonate.

c) Sodium hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide is neutralized by carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate and water

4. What are the effects of acid rain? How can we prevent them?

Effects of Acid rain:

• It irritates eyes and skin of human beings.
• It inhibits germination and growth of seedlings.
• It changes the fertility of the soil, destroys plants and aquatic life.
• It causes corrosion of many buildings, bridges, etc.

Preventive measures :

Acid rain and its effects can be controlled by the following ways.

• Minimizing the usage of fossil fuel such as petrol, diesel etc.,
• Using CNG (Compressed Natural Gas).
• Using non-conventional source of energy.
• Proper disposal of the industrial wastes.
