Card 1Combination Reactions

What happens when magnesium ribbon is burnt in air? Write the balanced equation and identify the type of reaction.

Answer

When magnesium ribbon burns in air, it forms magnesium oxide with a dazzling white flame. Balanced equation: 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s). This is a combination reaction because two reactants combine to f

Card 2Displacement Reactions

Why does an iron nail turn brownish when dipped in copper sulphate solution? What type of reaction is this?

Answer

Iron is more reactive than copper, so it displaces copper from copper sulphate solution. The iron nail gets coated with reddish-brown copper metal. Equation: Fe(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s). Thi

Card 3Decomposition Reactions

What is observed when lead nitrate is heated? Write the balanced equation and identify the reaction type.

Answer

When lead nitrate is heated, brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide are released. Balanced equation: 2Pb(NO₃)₂(s) → 2PbO(s) + 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g). This is a thermal decomposition reaction where a single compound

Card 4Balancing Chemical Equations

How do you balance the chemical equation: Fe + H₂O → Fe₃O₄ + H₂?

Answer

Step-by-step balancing: 1) Start with the most complex compound (Fe₃O₄). 2) Balance oxygen: 4H₂O on left side. 3) Balance hydrogen: 4H₂ on right side. 4) Balance iron: 3Fe on left side. Final balanced

Card 5Energy Changes in Reactions

What is the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give one example of each.

Answer

Exothermic reactions release heat and energy (temperature increases). Example: Burning of methane - CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O + Heat. Endothermic reactions absorb heat and energy (temperature decreases).

Card 6Biological Applications

Why is respiration considered an exothermic process? Write the equation for respiration.

Answer

Respiration is exothermic because it releases energy that our body uses for various life processes. Glucose combines with oxygen to produce energy. Equation: C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) + 6O₂(aq) → 6CO₂(aq) + 6H₂O(l)

Card 7Combination Reactions

What happens when calcium oxide is mixed with water? Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic?

Answer

Calcium oxide (quick lime) reacts vigorously with water to form calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) and releases a large amount of heat. Equation: CaO(s) + H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + Heat. This is a combinati

Card 8Decomposition Reactions

What is electrolysis of water? What gases are produced and in what ratio?

Answer

Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. Equation: 2H₂O(l) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g). Hydrogen is produced at the cathode and oxygen at the anode in a 2:1
