Question
Write word equations and then balanced equations for the reaction taking place when–
  1. Dilute sulphuric acid reacts with zinc granules.
  2. Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium ribbon.
  3. Dilute sulphuric acid reacts with aluminium powder.
  4. Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with iron filings.

Answer

a. Zinc + Sulphuric acid Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen
$Zn+H_2 SO_4 \rightarrow ZnSO_4+H_2$
b. Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride + Hydrogen gas
$Mg+2 HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2$
c. Aluminum + Sulphuric acid Aluminum sulphate + Hydrogen gas
$2 Al+3 H_2 SO_4 \rightarrow Al_2\left(SO_4\right)_3+3 H_2$
d. Iron + Hydrochloric acid Iron chloride + Hydrogen
$Fe+2 HCl \rightarrow FeCl_2+H_2$

The human males use a device X made of a very thin rubber sheet as a covering on the male organ to prevent pregnancy. This device traps the gametes Y in it. In order to prevent pregnancy, the human females use a device Z which is a circle of rubber with a metal spring around it. The device Z is put inside the vagina to cover the cervix. It stops Y from going into the uterus.

When a person eats sugary food, then organisms A present in his mouth act on sugar to produce a substance B. The substance B first dissolves the calcium salts from the top part C of the tooth and then from its middle part D forming holes E. These holes ultimately reach the part F in the lower part of tooth which contains nerves and blood vessels. The substance B irritates the nerve endings inside the tooth causing toothache.
  1. What are (i) organisms A, and (ii) substance B?
  2. What are (i) part C, and (ii) part D, of tooth known as?
  3. By what name are the holes E in the tooth known?
  4. Name the part F of the tooth.
  5. What will happen if organisms A reach part F of the tooth known?

The gas $A$ is used by most of the animals to obtain energy from food by the process of respiration. When $A$ is acted upon by radiation $X$, it gets converted into another gas $B$ which is an allotrope of $A$ but poisonous when inhaled. B forms a kind of layer C in the upper atmosphere which absorbs radiations X coming from a source Y and prevent them from reaching the earth. Some chemicals $Z$ released from the various devices on the earth are destroying the layer C slowly. In fact, a hole has already been formed in layer $C$ over the area D of the earth.
a. What are gases (i) A, and (ii) B? Write their molecular formulae.
b. Name the layer C.
c. What are (i) $X$, (ii) $Y$, and (iii) $Z$ ?
d. Name the area D.
e. Name any two human ailments which may be caused by X .
