X SA I CHEM TEST FULL SYLLABUS 3


1.           Write  electronic configuration of an element having atomic  number 13.                                 

2.           State  an example of an endothermic reaction.                                                                        

3.            Why do we store silver chloride in dark coloured bottles?  Explain in brief.                           

4.           “A solution of potassium chloride when mixed  with silver  nitrate  solution, an insoluble white  substance is formed”.
a.    Translate the  above  statement into  a chemical  equation.
b.    State two types for this  reaction.

5.           Write  the chemical  name  and  formula of common salt.   State how  sodium hydroxide is prepared using  this salt.

6.           Draw a labelled schematic diagram to show the electrolysis of water.  Why is the amount of gas collected  in one of the test tubes  in this activity  double of the amount collected  in the other  ?

7.           Five solutions A, B, C, D and  E when tested with  universal indicator showed pH  as 4, 1, 11, 7 and  9 respectively.  Which  solution is (a) neutral  (b) strongly alkaline (c) strongly acidic  (d) weakly acidic  and  (e) weakly alkaline. Arrange the  pH  in increasing order of H—ion concentration.

8.            What  happens when chlorine is passed over  dry  slaked time? Write  chemical  equation of the reaction involved.  Mention three  properties of the product.

9.           How  is charcoal different from  coal  How  is it prepared?  State two  criteria  for considering charcoal a letter  fuel than  wood for domestic purposes.

10.        State  the  reason why                                                                                                                 
(i)      carbon  is not used  to reduce the oxides  of sodium or aluminium.
(ii)     an iron strip  dipped in a blue copper sulphate solution turns the blue solution pale  green.
(iii)    metals  replace  hydrogen from  acids  whereas non-metals do not.
(iv)    calcium  does  not  occur  free in nature.
(v)     zinc is used  in the galvanisation of iron  and  not the copper.
OR
(a)        list two  differences between calcinator and  roasting.
(b)     An element ‘X burns in oxygen  to form  an electrovalent compond XO.  State the compounds you  expect  will  form  if the  element X is made to  combine with (i) chlorine and  (ii) sulphur. Mention the  Chemical formula and  nature of bond present in each  case.
