Question
Baking soda is used in small amounts for making bread and cakes. It helps to make these soft and spongy. An aqueous solution of baking soda turns red litmus blue. It is also used in soda acid fire extinguisher. Use this information to answer the following questions.
(i) Write the equation for the reaction between baking soda and acid.
(ii) How does it help in extinguishing fire?
(iii) What is the reaction involved when it is heated?
or
(iv) Is the $pH$ value of baking soda solution lower than or higher than 7 ?
✓

Answer

(i) The equation for the reaction is
$2 NaHCO _3( s )+ H _2 SO _4( aq )$
(Baking soda)
$\longrightarrow Na _2 SO _4( s )+2 H _2 O (l)+2 CO _2(g)$
(ii) The $CO _2$ gas produced by the reaction of baking soda and acid in the soda-acid fire extinguisher, helps in extinguishing fire.
(iii) The reaction involved is
$2 NaHCO _3( s ) \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} Na _2 CO _3( s )+ H _2 O (l)+ CO _2( g ) \uparrow$
or
(iv) The $pH$ value of baking soda solution in higher than 7, i.e. it is alkaline.

Corrosion is the phenomenon of deterioration of surface of metal in presence of air and moisture. It is a natural process and in the presence of a moist atmosphere, chemically active metals get corroded. This is oxidation reaction. Rusting is the process where iron corrodes due to exposure to the atmosphere. The main circumstance of corrosion occurs with iron because it is a structural material in construction, bridges, buildings, rail transport, ships, etc. Aluminium is also an important structural metal, but even aluminium undergoes oxidation reactions. However, aluminium doesn't corrode or oxidize as rapidly as its reactivity suggests. An alloy of aluminium or any other metal like magnesium can make aluminium stronger and harder.
Copper $( Cu )$ corrodes and forms a basic green carbonate and lead corrodes to form a white lead oxide or carbonate.

Read the following and answer any three questions from (i) to (iv).

As neutral atom carbon has electronic configuration $\text{K}\ \ \ \text{L}\\2\ \ \ \ 4$ To gain inert gas configuration carbon can either donate 4 valence electrons (helium gas configuration) or gain 4 electrons (neon gas configuration), but it cannot do so. To acquire inert gas configuration carbon can only share its 4 valence electrons with other atoms forming covalent bonds. A covalent bond can be defined as a chemical bond formed between two atoms by mutual sharing of valence electrons so that each atom acquires the stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas. The concept of covalent bonds was given by Langmuir and Lewis to explain bonding in non-ionic compounds. The covalent bonds are of three types. If each atom contributes one electron, the covalent bond formed is called a single covalent bond and is represented by a single line (-) and if each atom contributes two electrons, the covalent bond formed is called a double bond and is represented by a double line (=) and if each atom contributes three electrons, the covalent bond formed is called a triple bond and is represented by a triple line $(\equiv).$

  1. Which compounds do not contain a double bond?

  2. Write compounds which contains a triple bond?

  3. Which molecules has all its atoms joined together by double covalent bond? Give two example.

Two allotropic forms of carbon which are crystalline in nature, are diamond and graphite. They differ physically but chemically they are similar. Diamond is the hardest crystalline form of carbon. In diamond, each carbon atom is linked to four other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. In graphite, each carbon atom is linked to three other carbon atoms by covalent bond. Graphite is relatively soft and greasy. It is also a good conductor of electricity. The C-C bond length in graphite is 141.5 pm while in diamond it is 154 pm.

Refining is the process of purification of metals. One of the important method of refining is electrolysis. In electrolysis, electrical energy is used to bring about a non-spontaneous redox reaction. This is done by passing an electric current through a liquid containing ions, known as an electrolyte. In contrast to metals, the current in electrolytes is carried by the movement of ions rather than the movement of electrons. The solid conductors inserted into the liquid are called electrodes, the one with a positive charge is called the anode (because it attracts anions) and the one with the negative charge is called the cathode.

(i) Name the electrolyte used in refining of copper.
