Important Questions on Practical Chemistry
Identify the salt Q from the following observation:
Salt Q is white in colour. On strong heating, it produces buff-yellow residue and liberates a reddish-brown gas. Solution of salt Q produces chalky white insoluble precipitate with an excess of ammonium hydroxide.

Identify the salt P from the following observations:
Salt P has light bluish-green colour. On heating, it produces a black coloured residue. Salt P produces brisk effervescence with dilute and the gas evolved turns lime water milky, but no action with acidified potassium dichromate solution.

Identify the salt R from the following observation:
Salt R is black in colour. On reacting with concentrated , it liberates a pungent greenish-yellow gas which turns moist starch iodide paper blue-black.

State one relevant observation for the following reactions:
- Zinc carbonate is heated strongly.


Observe the reaction and identify the reactant and the product.



Iron chloride is prepared by passing pure dry chlorine gas over heated iron.
Write the chemical equation for the preparation of chlorine from concentrated hydrochloric acid.

Match the following:
(i) Lead nitrate | (a) A black oxidising agent. |
(ii) Copper hydroxide | (b) A gas which is absorbed by to give a reddish-brown addition compound. |
(iii) Nitrogen dioxide | (c) A coloured metallic hydroxide insoluble in excess of sodium hydroxide, but soluble in excess of ammonium hydroxide. |
(iv) Lead chloride | (d) A chloride which is insoluble in cold water but soluble in hot water. |
(v) Manganese dioxide | (e) A nitrate which on thermal decomposition forms a yellow amphoteric oxide as a residue. |




Identify the type of reaction:
