Q.7-Why does not a wall immediately acquire a white colour when a coating of
applied on it?
Answer- Slaked lime as such is not very white. When applied on the wall, CO2gas present in air
reacts with calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate. It is quite white and therefore, imparts
white look to the wall.
Ca(OH)2 + COz(g) > CaCOs(s) + H20(0).
Q.8Why are eatables preferably packed in aluminium foils?
Answer- Aluminium foils do not corrode in atmosphere even if kept for a long time. Actually, a
protective coating of aluminium oxide (Al:0:) is formed on the surface of the metal. It stops any
further reaction of the metal with air (oxygen) and water. The eatables do not get spoiled.
Q.9 Take a small amount of calcium oxide or quick lime in abeaker and slowly add water to this.
Is there any change in temperature?
Answer- Yes, the temperature increases since the process of dissolution of calcium oxide (CaO)
