(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Na2CO3 2HCl ⟶ 2NaCl CO2 + H2O

$2Fe + 3/2O_2 + xH_2O ⟶ {Fe_2O_3.xH_2O} ↙ {rust}$


Q-5)   An organic compound containing C, H and O gave on analysis C – 40% and H – 6.66%. Its empirical formula would be

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Element%At.Wt.Rel.NumberRatio
C4012$40/12$= 3.33${3.33}/{3.33}=1$
H6.661${6.66}/1$= 6.66${6.66}/{3.33}=2$
O53.3416${53.34}/16$= 3.33${3.33}/{3.33}=1$
(% of O in organic compound
= 100 – (40 + 6.66) = 53.34% )
Empirical formula of organic compound = $CH_2$O.


Q-6)   In the reaction : PbO + C ⟶ Pb + CO

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

In this carbon reduces PbO to Pb so carbon (C) is reducing agent (reductant) PbO acts as oxidising agent (oxidant) as it oxidises C to CO.
