Q33 of 44 Page 5

Write a balanced chemical equation for each of the following reactions and also classify them.

(a) Lead acetate solution is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid to form lead chloride and acetic acid solution.


(b) A piece of sodium metal is added to absolute ethanol to form sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas.


(c) Iron (III) oxide on heating with carbon monoxide gas reacts to form solid iron and liberates carbon dioxide gas.


(d) Hydrogen sulphide gas reacts with oxygen gas to form solid sulphur and liquid water.


(a) Pb(CH3COO)2 + 2HCl → PbCl2 + CH3COOH
This is a Double Displacement reaction.



(b) 2Na + 2C2H5OH → 2C2H5ONa + H2
This is a Displacement reaction.



(c) Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2
This is a redox reaction.



(d) 2 H2S + O2→ 2 S + 2 H2O
This is a replacement reaction.

During the reaction of some metals with dilute hydrochloric acid, following observations were made.

(a) Silver metal does not show any change


(b) The temperature of the reaction mixture rises when aluminium (Al) is added.


(c) The reaction of sodium metal is found to be highly explosive


(d) Some bubbles of a gas are seen when lead (Pb) is reacted with the acid. Explain these observations giving suitable reasons.

(c) Na(s) + S(s) ⎯⎯⎯⎯ (Fuse) → Na2S(s)


(d) TiCl4 (l) + Mg(s) ⎯→ Ti(s) + MgCl2 (s)


(e) CaO(s) + SiO2(s) ⎯→ CaSiO3(s)


(f) H2O2 (l) ⎯⎯⎯⎯ UV → H2O(l) + O2 (g)
