STUDY QUESTIONS

Language of Chemistry Class-8th Goyal Brothers ICSE Chemistry Solutions ch-5 unit-1

Question: 1. (a) What is a symbol?

Answer: A chemical symbol is a representation of chemical elements using one or two letters. Every element of the periodic table is represented by a different symbol.

(b) What qualitative and quantitative information is conveyed by s symbol?

Answer: The major qualitative information conveyed by a symbol is the identification of the element. Quantitative information: Each element in the periodic table is associated with a mass number and the atomic number which is the most important quantitative information conveyed by a symbol.

Question: 2. (a) What do you understand by the term chemical formula?

Answer: The chemical formula of a compound means the symbolic representation of the composition of a compound. A chemical formula for a molecule is represented by the group of symbols of the elements that constitute the molecule, and the number of atoms of each element present in one molecule.

(b) What qualitative information is given by the formula HCl?

Answer: HCl is the formula of hydrogen chloride gas. This is the qualitative information of the symbol.

Question: 3. (a) What do you understand by the term variable valency?

Answer: The element exhibits more than one electropositive valency. Such elements are said to have variable valency.

(b) How are the elements having variable valency named?

Answer: The suffix “ous” is used to indicate lower valency, and the suffix “ic” is used to indicate the higher valency. Example: Iron( ), for the lower valency, the suffix “ous” is added- Ferrous ( ). For the higher valency “-ic” is added- Ferric.

Question: 4. Write the chemical formulae of the following compounds :

(a) Magnesium sulphate

Answer: MgSO₄

(b) Aluminum sulphate

Answer: Al2(SO4)3

(c) Aluminum phosphate

Answer: AlPO₄

(d) Potassium chlorate

Answer: KClO₃

(e) Potassium nitrate

Answer: KNO3

Question: 5. What do you understand by the term chemical equation?

Answer: A chemical equation is a brief representation of a chemical change in terms of symbols and formulae. The substances which react among themselves to bring about the chemical change are known as reactants, whereas the substances which are produced as a result of the chemical change are known as products.

(b) Why should a chemical equation be always balanced?

Answer: The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.

Question: 6. Balance the following equations:

(a) KNO3 → KNO2 + O2

Answer: 2KNO3 → 2KNO2 + O2

(b) Mg + O2 → MgO

Answer: 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) → 2MgO (s)

(c) KCIO3 → KCI + O2

Answer: 2KCIO₃ → 2KCI + 3O₂

Question: 7. (a) State law of conservation of mass.

Answer: The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

(b) What information is conveyed by a balanced chemical equation?

Answer: The physical states of reactants and products, relative amounts of reactants and products and the specific reaction conditions under which the reaction undergoes.

Question: 8. (a) Define catalyst.

Answer: A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change is called a catalyst.

(b) Describe use of catalyst in a chemical reaction with suitable example. 

Answer: The rate of reaction is increased or decreased and we require lesser activation energy. There are many good examples of catalysts. Some famous ones are: The Iron catalyst used in the Haber-Bosch process, which is the main industrial process for ammonia production.
