Statement for linked answer questions 14-17

It is common to notice that iron articles rust faster in wet weather than in dry weather. Silver articles,
on the other hand, turn black in air in any season, and aluminium articles, when exposed to moist air,
lose their lustre and their surface becomes dull after a while, and copper vessels become coated
with a green layer. Iron sheets coated with zinc are frequently used to protect iron from rusting, such
as in buckets and iron water pipes.

Q-14: Why is it rusting faster in the rainy season?

Q-15: Why do silver articles turn black in the air?

Q-16: Why does copper get coated with a green layer?

Q-17: Aluminium oxide is formed as a result of the attack of moist air on aluminium. How is this
attack beneficial?

Q-18: The reactions that produce heat are known as

a) Endothermic reaction

b) Exothermic reaction

c) Thermal reactions

d) photochemical reactions

Q-19: Which of the following does not involve a chemical change?

a) Fermentation of grapes

b) Respiration

c) Condensation of water

d) Turning brown of a freshly cut apple in the air

Q-20: When white lead(II) nitrate powder is heated in a boiling tube, lead oxide, oxygen gas, and a
brown gas(Y) are formed.

a) For the same, write a balanced chemical reaction.

c) What is the pH range of Y’s aqueous solution?

d) Is lead oxide basic, acidic or amphoteric?

e) Identify the type of reaction.
