| | Vikas Kumar answered |
Methyl orange is a pH indicator frequently used in titration because of its clear and distinct colour variance at different pH values. Methyl orange shows pink colour in acidic medium and yellow colour in basic medium. Because it changes colour at the pH of a mid strength acid, it is usually used in titration for acids. Unlike a universal indicator, methyl orange does not have a full spectrum of colour change, but it has a sharp end point.

e)
Both Assertion and Reason are false.
| | Radha Iyer answered |
The correct answer is b) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
- Assertion (A): When zinc is added to dilute hydrochloric acid, hydrogen is indeed given off. This is a chemical reaction where zinc displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid, producing zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
- Reason (R): The statement that "Hydrogen chloride molecules contain hydrochloric acid and hydrogen atoms" is misleading. Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a compound consisting of hydrogen and chlorine, but it doesn't accurately explain why hydrogen gas is evolved when zinc reacts with dilute HCl.
Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason does not correctly explain it.

Assertion (A): Gas bubbles are observed when sodium carbonate is added to dilute hydrochloric acid.
Reason (R): Carbon dioxide is given off in the reaction.
The correct answer is option 'A': Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
Explanation:
When sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is added to dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), a reaction takes place resulting in the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This reaction is represented by the following chemical equation:
Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
This reaction is a type of double displacement reaction, where sodium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
Now, let's analyze the given assertion and reason:
Assertion (A): Gas bubbles are observed when sodium carbonate is added to dilute hydrochloric acid.
This assertion is true. When sodium carbonate is added to dilute hydrochloric acid, effervescence occurs, and gas bubbles are observed. This is evident in the reaction mentioned above, where carbon dioxide gas is produced.
Reason (R): Carbon dioxide is given off in the reaction.
This reason is also true and it explains why gas bubbles are observed. During the reaction between sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid, carbon dioxide gas is given off as a product. This gas evolution leads to the formation of gas bubbles.
Hence, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the occurrence of gas bubbles. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A': Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
Reason (R): Carbon dioxide is given off in the reaction.
The correct answer is option 'A': Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

**Turmeric as a Natural Indicator**
Turmeric, a commonly used spice in cooking, can also be used as a natural indicator to detect the presence of bases. The active compound in turmeric responsible for this property is called curcumin. When curcumin comes into contact with bases, it undergoes a chemical reaction that results in a change in color. In the presence of bases, turmeric turns bright red.
**Explanation**
Turmeric contains a class of compounds known as polyphenols, which are responsible for its vibrant yellow color. Curcumin, one of the polyphenols present in turmeric, acts as a pH indicator. pH indicators are substances that change color depending on the acidity or alkalinity (basicity) of a solution.
Bases are substances that can accept protons or donate hydroxide ions (OH-) in a chemical reaction. When a base is added to a solution of turmeric, the curcumin molecules react with the base, resulting in the formation of a new compound. This new compound has a different structure and absorbs light in a different range of wavelengths, giving rise to a change in color.
In the case of turmeric, the reaction with bases leads to the formation of a red compound. This compound is responsible for the bright red color observed when turmeric comes into contact with bases. The exact mechanism of this reaction is complex and involves multiple steps, including the deprotonation of curcumin and the formation of a conjugated system.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, turmeric can be used as a natural indicator to detect the presence of bases. When turmeric is exposed to bases, it undergoes a chemical reaction that results in a change in color. The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, reacts with bases to form a red compound, giving turmeric a bright red color in the presence of bases.

What Does the "p" in pH Stand For?
The "p" in pH stands for "power." This designation is derived from the German word "Potenz," which translates to "power" or "potential."
Understanding pH Scale
The pH scale is a logarithmic scale used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution. It ranges from 0 to 14, where:
- A pH of 7 is considered neutral (pure water).
- A pH less than 7 indicates acidity (higher hydrogen ion concentration).
- A pH greater than 7 indicates basicity (lower hydrogen ion concentration).
Measurement of Hydrogen Ion Concentration
The pH scale specifically measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. This is crucial because:
- Acidic Solutions: Higher concentrations of H+ ions lead to lower pH values. For example, lemon juice has a pH of around 2, indicating high acidity.
- Basic Solutions: Lower concentrations of H+ ions correspond to higher pH values. For instance, bleach has a pH of around 12, indicating it is basic.
Importance of pH
Understanding pH is essential in various fields, including:
- Chemistry: It helps in determining the nature of chemical reactions.
- Biology: Enzyme activity and metabolic processes are pH-dependent.
- Environmental Science: pH affects aquatic life and soil health.
In summary, the correct answer is option 'B' because the pH scale effectively measures the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution, which determines its acidity or basicity.

Understanding Acid-Base Reactions
When an acid reacts with a base, the primary result is the formation of salt and water. This reaction is commonly known as a neutralization reaction.
Key Components of the Reaction
- Acids: Substances that donate protons (H+) in a solution.
- Bases: Substances that accept protons (H+) or donate hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution.
Neutralization Reaction
- When an acid and a base interact, they undergo a neutralization process.
- The acidic component (H+) from the acid combines with the basic component (OH-) from the base to form water (H2O).
Formation of Salt
- The remaining ions from the acid and base combine to form a salt.
- For example, if hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the products will be sodium chloride (NaCl) and water.
General Reaction Equation
- The general form of the neutralization reaction can be expressed as:
Acid + Base → Salt + Water.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the correct answer to the question is option 'D' because the primary products of an acid-base reaction are indeed salt and water. This fundamental concept is crucial in understanding many chemical reactions and applications in various fields such as chemistry, biology, and environmental science.

| | EduRev Class 10 answered |
Bleaching powder is prepared by passing chlorine gas over dry slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).
Chemical Equation:
Cl2 + Ca(OH)2 → CaOCl2 + H2O
Here,
- Ca(OH)2 = Calcium hydroxide (slaked lime)
- Cl2 = Chlorine
- CaOCl2 = Bleaching powder
- H2O = Water
So, the base used is Calcium hydroxide.

| | EduRev Class 10 answered |
Assertion: "HCl gas does not change the colour of dry blue litmus paper.: This statement is true. Dry HCl gas cannot release hydrogen ions (H+) because it needs to be dissolved in water to form hydronium ions (H3O+), which cause the acidic effect. Therefore, HCl gas will not change the colour of dry blue litmus paper.
Reason: "HCl gas dissolves in the water present in wet litmus paper to form H+ ions.": This statement is also true. When HCl gas dissolves in the water present on wet litmus paper, it dissociates to form H+ ions, which can then change the colour of blue litmus to red, indicating an acidic environment.
Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion since the assertion pertains to dry litmus paper, while the reason refers to wet litmus paper.
Thus, the correct answer is:

Let's evaluate the assertion and reason provided:
- Assertion (A): pH = 7 signifies pure water.
- This statement is true. Pure water at 25°C has a neutral pH of 7, which is a result of the equal concentrations of hydrogen ions [H+][H^+][H+] and hydroxide ions [OH−][OH^-][OH−].
- Reason (R): At this pH, [H+] = [OH-] = 10^-7.
- This statement is also true. In pure water at 25°C, the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+][H^+][H+] and hydroxide ions [OH−][OH^-][OH−] are both 10−710^{-7}10−7 M, leading to a pH of 7.

Understanding pH of Salts from Weak Acids and Bases
When a salt is formed from a weak acid and a weak base, predicting its pH can be complex. Here's why:
Nature of the Components
- Weak Acid: A weak acid only partially dissociates in water, meaning it does not release all its hydrogen ions (H+).
- Weak Base: A weak base also partially dissociates, producing hydroxide ions (OH-) to a limited extent.
Hydrolysis Reaction
- When the salt dissolves in water, hydrolysis occurs. The anions from the weak acid and the cations from the weak base can react with water, affecting the pH.
Factors Influencing pH
- Strength of Acid and Base: The degree of dissociation of both the weak acid and weak base plays a critical role. If one is significantly weaker than the other, it will dominate the pH outcome.
- Concentration: The concentrations of the salt solution also influence how much the salt will hydrolyze and thus the resulting pH.
Conclusion
- Since the pH depends on the relative strengths of the weak acid and weak base, it can be less than, greater than, or equal to 7.
- Therefore, without specific information about the acid and base involved, it is impossible to predict the pH of the resulting salt solution accurately.
This complexity leads to the conclusion that the pH cannot be predicted definitively, which is why option 'D' is the correct answer.

Understanding Deposition
Deposition is a fascinating process that directly transforms a gas into a solid without passing through the liquid phase. Here's a detailed breakdown of this process:
What is Deposition?
- Deposition occurs when vapor molecules lose energy and transition directly into a solid state.
- This process is commonly seen in nature, particularly in the formation of frost or snowflakes.
Examples of Deposition
- Frost Formation: When water vapor in the air cools rapidly, it can turn directly into ice crystals on surfaces, creating frost.
- Snowflakes: In clouds, water vapor can deposit directly onto particles, forming intricate snowflakes without becoming liquid water first.
Contrast with Related Processes
- Sublimation: This is the opposite of deposition, where a solid transitions directly to a gas, such as dry ice turning into carbon dioxide gas.
- Precipitation: This involves the formation of solid particles from a saturated solution, usually in a liquid phase.
- Evaporation: This process refers to the transition of a liquid into a gas, which is not related to the direct formation of solids.
Importance of Deposition
- Understanding deposition is crucial in various scientific fields, including meteorology and material science.
- It helps explain weather phenomena and the behavior of various substances under specific temperature and pressure conditions.
In summary, option B, Deposition, is the correct answer as it specifically involves the direct formation of a solid from a gas, distinguishing it from other processes like sublimation, precipitation, and evaporation.

- Evaporation: This process refers to the transition of a liquid into a gas, which is not related to the direct formation of solids.
Importance of Deposition
- Understanding deposition is crucial in various scientific fields, including meteorology and material science.
- It helps explain weather phenomena and the behavior of various substances under specific temperature and pressure conditions.
In summary, option B, Deposition, is the correct answer as it specifically involves the direct formation of a solid from a gas, distinguishing it from other processes like sublimation, precipitation, and evaporation.

Understanding Lime Water Reaction with Carbon Dioxide
When excess carbon dioxide is passed through lime water (a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide), a series of chemical reactions occur that ultimately lead to the observed outcomes.
Initial Reaction
- Lime water is clear due to the presence of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
- When carbon dioxide (CO2) is introduced, it reacts with calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
Formation of Calcium Carbonate
- The reaction can be summarized as follows:
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O
- Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water, leading to the formation of a white precipitate, which can make the lime water appear milky.
Excess Carbon Dioxide Impact
- If an excess amount of carbon dioxide is passed through the lime water, the following reaction takes place:
CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O → Ca(HCO3)2
- This reaction converts the precipitate (calcium carbonate) back into calcium bicarbonate (calcium hydrogen carbonate), which is soluble in water.
Final Observation
- As a result of this reaction, the initial milkiness of the lime water disappears, leading to a clear solution again.
- This explains why the correct answer is option 'D': The milkiness of the lime water disappears when excess carbon dioxide is passed through it.
In summary, the initial reaction creates a milky solution due to calcium carbonate formation, but excess CO2 causes the precipitation to dissolve, restoring the clarity of the lime water.
