icse-previous-papers-with-solutions-for-class-10-chemistry-2016-6
(v) The gas released at the anode is oxygen which will react with the heated graphite rod and form carbon dioxide and gradually get exhausted. Taking a number of graphite rods will compensate the loss and allow the process to go on for a longer time.
(b)

  1. Washing soda crystals are efflorescent substance. When they are exposed to atmosphere, they lose their water of crystallisation and become an amorphous powder.
