Give one similarity in test between (i)Cl2 and HCl (ii) SO2 and CO2.
Answer 1
(a)
(i) Chemical test for ammonia:
If a rod dipped in concentrated hydrochloric acid is brought near ammonia gas, dense white fumes of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) are formed.
(ii) Chemical test for Sulphur dioxide:
It decolorizes pink coloured potassium permanganate solution.

Question 11
Distinguish by a chemical test,
(a)Sodium carbonate and sodium sulphite
(b)Sodium chloride and sodium sulphite
(c)Sodium hydroxide solution and ammonium hydroxide solution.
(d)Ammonium sulphate and sodium sulphate
(e) Sulphuric acid from nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.
Answer 11
(a)
Sodium carbonate and sodium sulphite can be distinguished by using acidified K2Cr2O7:
Take a small quantity of salt in a test tube; add dil. H2SO4.and warm if necessary. Now if on bringing a filter paper moistened with acidified K2Cr2O7 near the gas evolved, the orange colour of the paper turns green then it is sodium sulphite.
(b)
Sodium thiosulphate and sodium sulphite:
The salts can be distinguished by using silver acetate. To the salt silver acetate and dil. HNO3 are added. If there is formation of a white precipitate which slowly turns black then it is thiosulphate anion since silver acetate forms Ag2S2O3 which being unstable in acid solution gets converted to black Ag2S.
(c)
Sodium hydroxide solution and ammonium hydroxide solution:
These salts can be distinguished by using a metal cation like calcium. When we add calcium salt to sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide, then a white curdy ppt. is formed only in case of sodium hydroxide.
(d)
Ammonium sulphate and sodium sulphate:
These salts can be distinguished by using KOH. When KOH is added to ammonium sulphate, ammonia gas is evolved. Whereas there is no evolution of ammonia gas in case of sodium sulphate.
(e)
Add barium chloride solution to sulphuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. A white precipitate is formed in dilute sulphuric acid, and no such precipitate is formed in nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.
BaCl2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2HCl(aq)

2KHCO3 + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2
Answer 13

(b)
| chloride of zinc | nitrate of zinc | sulphate of zinc | |
| Barium chloride | No – | Nil | White ppt. is obtained |
