CHEMISTRY CLASS-8TH CHAPTER-5 HYDROGEN FILL IN THE BLANKS 1. Hydrogen was dicovered by Cavendish. 2.

Hydrogen being lighter than air can be transferred from one vessel to another vessel. 3. Hydrogen is a combustible gas. 4. A molecule of hydrogen consists of two atoms of hydrogen. 5. Potassium reacts with water to produce hydrogen. T/F. REWRITE THE FALSE STAEMENT 1.Hydrogen turns red litmus blue.false ANS Hydrgen does not turns red litmus blue niether blue litmus red as it is neut ral. 2.The chemichal reactions which involve the addition of hydrogen are called oxid ation reactions. ANS the chemichal reactions which involve the addition of hydrogen are called re duction reactions., 3.Steam is passed over alluminium to produce hydrogen and alluminium oxide. ANS 4. Hydrogen supports combustion. ANS Hydrogen does not supports combustion. 5. Hydrogen is a strong oxidizing agent. ANS Q/A QUE : GIVE ANY TWO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROGEN. ANS : 1. it is colouress , odourless and tasteless gas. 2. it is a good conductor of heat . QUE: HOW IS HYDROGEN GAS PREPARED IN THE LABORATORY? HOW IS IT COLLECTED? GIVE C HEMICHAL EQUATION FOR THE REACTION? ANS: PREARATION OF HYDROGEN GAS * APPARATUS- FLASK, THISTLE FUNNEL , DELIVERY TUBE,GAS JAR ,BEEHIVE SHELF ANDTRO UGH * REACTANTS- ZINC AND HYDROCHLORIC ACID *PROCEDURE1.Zinc granules are added to the flask. 2.Dilute hydrochloric acid is added dropwise from the thistle funnel to zinc gra nules. 3.A vigourous reaction sets in and bubbles of a colourless gas rise up from the surface of zinc granules. 4.The gas first drives out of the air present in the flask and then comes out bu bble to bubble at the end of the delivery tube EQUATION:Zn+2 HCl---------------------->ZnCl2+H2 QUE:WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING PREPARATION OF HYDROGEN GAS IN THE L ABORATORY? ANS: PRECAUTIONS1.The apparatus should be airtight. 2.No flame should be brought near the apparatus. 3.The gas is collected only after the all the air is escaped from the a pparatus QUE:HOW WILL YOU PREPARE HYDROGEN GAS FROM WATER? ANS: Metals like sodium , potassium and calcium displace hydrogen from water , even at a ordinary temprature.

for eg: 2K + 2H2O-----------------------> 2KOH +H2. QUE: NAME THE METALS WHICH REACT WITH STEAM TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN? ANS: Metals like magnesium ,zinc ,aluminium and iron reat with steam to produce hydrogen. QUE: NAME THE METALS WHICH REACT WITH COLD WATER TO PROUDUCE HYDROGEN? ANS: Sodium, potassium and calcium. QUE: NAME THE PRODUCT FORMEDWHEN HYDROGEN BURNS IN AIR? ANS: Water QUE: STATE THE TEST FOR HYDROGEN? ANS: When burning candle is introduced into the jar of hydrogen, it extinguishes . QUE: GIVE THE BALANCED EQUATION OF A. CALCIUM WITH WATER Ca + H2O----------------------------> CaO+H2 B. HYDROGEN WITH CHLORINE H2 +Cl2----------------------------------> 2HCl C.HYDROGEN WITH COPPER OXIDE H2+CuO----------------------------------> Cu +H2O QUE: COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING EQUATIONS A. Fe +H2O--------------------------> FeO+H2 B. Na +H2O--------------------------> NaO+H2 C.2Al+2KOH+2H2O--------------------> 2KAlO2+3H2 QUE: WHAT ARE THE MAIN USES OF HYDROGEN? ANS: The uses are1. The mixture of hydrogen and helium is used for filling ballons and airships. 2.It is used to producethe oxy hydrogen flames which are used for welding and cu tting metals. 3.It is used to manufacture vanaspati ghee. 4.It is used for manufacturing hydrochloric acid and ammonia. 5.It is used as a reducing agent for the production of certain metals from their oxides. 6.Liquid hydrogen is used as rocket fuel. QUE: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY HYDRO GENETED OIL? ANS: The process of converting vegetable oil such as groundnut oil, coconut oil etc on hydrogenetion convert into fats. vegetable oil + H2 ------------------------> fat ( vanaspati ghee)
