19. When magnesium ribbon burns in air or oxygen, a product is formed. State the type of
chemical reaction and name the product formed in the reaction. Write balanced

ii) A metal “X” when dipped in an aqueous solution of aluminium sulphate, no

reaction is observed whereas when it is dipped in an aqueous solution of ferrous

23. The white solid compound A decomposes quite rapidly on heating in the presence of a
black substance X to form a solid compound B and a gas C. When an aqueous solution
of compound B is reacted with silver nitrate solution, then a white precipitate of silver

SECTION E
24. A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings,
especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form
another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a
lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of
substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has
the same chemical composition as starting substance P.

a) Identify P, Q, R, and S.

b) Write all the required reactions mentioned above and identify the type of reaction.
c) When R is continuously passed to the S. a white precipitate of P gets disappeared.
Why? Explain with the reaction.
25. Oxidation has a damaging effect on metals as well as on food. The damaging effect of
oxidation on metal is studied as corrosion and that on food is studied as rancidity. The
phenomenon due to which metals are slowly eaten away by the reaction of air, water,
and chemicals present in the atmosphere, is called corrosion. For example, iron
articles are shiny when new, but get coated with a reddish-brown powder when left
for some time. This process is known as rusting of iron. Rancidity is the process of
slow oxidation of oil and fat present in the food materials resulting in the change of
smell and taste in them.

a) Write two daily examples of redox reaction other than given in paragraph.

b) Define the oxidation and reduction on the basis of gaining and losing of electron.
c) Taking suitable examples, explain the oxidation and reduction always take place
together.

d) Write two ways by which food industries prevent rancidity.
