Card 1Acid-Metal Reactions

What happens when zinc granules are added to dilute hydrochloric acid? Write the chemical equation.

Answer

When zinc granules are added to dilute HCl, hydrogen gas is evolved with effervescence (bubbling). The reaction is: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g). This can be tested by bringing a burning candl

Card 2Acid Properties

Why does dry HCl gas not change the color of blue litmus paper, but HCl solution does?

Answer

Dry HCl gas does not produce H⁺ ions, so it shows no acidic properties. Only when HCl dissolves in water does it ionize: HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻. The H₃O⁺ (hydronium) ions are responsible for acidic pr

Card 3Acid-Carbonate Reactions

What happens when sodium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid? Give the test for the gas evolved.

Answer

Na₂CO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g). Carbon dioxide gas is evolved. Test: Pass the gas through lime water [Ca(OH)₂]. Lime water turns milky due to formation of CaCO₃ precipitate: Ca(OH)

Card 4Neutralization

Define neutralization reaction with an example and explain what happens at the ionic level.

Answer

Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and base to form salt and water. Example: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l). At ionic level: H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l). The H⁺ ions from acid combin

Card 5pH Scale

What is pH scale? What does a pH of 7, less than 7, and greater than 7 indicate?

Answer

pH scale measures hydrogen ion concentration in solution, ranging from 0-14. pH 7 = neutral (pure water), pH < 7 = acidic (higher H⁺ concentration), pH > 7 = basic/alkaline (higher OH⁻ concentration).

Card 6pH in Daily Life

Why is it recommended to use baking soda for bee sting relief?

Answer

Bee sting contains formic acid (methanoic acid) which causes pain and irritation. Baking soda (NaHCO₃) is mildly basic and neutralizes the acid: NaHCO₃ + HCOOH → HCOONa + H₂O + CO₂. This neutralizatio

Card 7Industrial Chemistry

What is the chlor-alkali process? Write the chemical equation and name the three products formed.

Answer

Chlor-alkali process is electrolysis of brine (aqueous NaCl) to produce three useful chemicals. Equation: 2NaCl(aq) + 2H₂O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + Cl₂(g) + H₂(g). Products: 1) Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)

Card 8pH in Digestive System

Explain why our stomach produces HCl and what happens during indigestion.

Answer

Stomach produces HCl to: 1) Activate pepsinogen to pepsin enzyme, 2) Kill harmful bacteria, 3) Aid protein digestion, 4) Maintain acidic pH (~1.5-2). During indigestion, excess acid production causes
