Solution 10:
Anhydrous hydrogen chloride is not an acid but its aqueous solution is a strong acid because anhydrous means without water and we know that the property of acidity is shown by a substance only when it is dissolved in water or its aqueous solution is prepared.

Solution 12:
Strength of an acid measures the ease with which the acid can ionize to produce hydrogen or hydronium ions when dissolved in water. Those acids which can easily ionize to form hydrogen ions are called strong acids while those which can partially ionize to form hydrogen ions are called weak acids.
Strength of an acid depends upon many factors such as:

  1. Molecular structure of the acid
  2. The temperature
  3. Properties of the solvent

Solution 14:
Solution B with pH value 9 will give pink colour with phenolphthalein.
Concept Insight: Bases give pink colour with phenolphthalein because a base will abstract two protons from phenolphthalein and the resulting phenolphthalein ion provides pink colour to the solution.

Solution 20:

  1. Efflorescence: It is the phenomenon by which hydrated salts on exposure to dry air, lose their water of crystallization and crumble to powder.
  2. Hygroscopy: It is the phenomenon by which substances absorb moisture from air, but only sufficiently so as to become wet.
  3. Water of crystallization: It is the fixed amount of water that is present in a crystal as an integral part of its constitution. Hydrated salts are salts having water of crystallisation.

Solution 21:
Deliquescence is the phenomenon by which certain salts absorb moisture from air, lose their water of crystallization and dissolve in it to form a saturated solution.
The substances which exhibit deliquescence are called deliquescent.
For example Caustic soda NaOH, Caustic potash KOH.

Solution 24:

  1. Common salt gets wet during rainy season because the commercially available salt contains impurities, like magnesium chloride, which are deliquescent substances. These absorb moisture from atmosphere and make the table salt wet.
  2. (i)  Na2CO4.10H2O = Washing soda
    (ii) MgSO4.7H2O = Epsom salt
    (iii)CuSO4.5H2O = Blue vitriol
    (iv) ZnSO4.7H2O = White vitriol

Solution 1996-1:

  1. pH of a solution having pH 7 can be increased by adding a base to it such as NaOH.
  2. pH can be decreased by adding an acid such as HCl to it.
    If a solution changes colour of litmus from red to blue, it shows that its pH is above 7.

Solution 1997-1:
The term acid salt means the salt formed by partial replacement of the hydrogens present in the acid by metallic or ammonium ions.
For example: NaHCO3

Solution 1997-2

  1. pH scale is used to express the acidic or basic nature of solution.
  2. pH of pure water is 7 since it does not have any impurities.
  3. (a) A soluble oxide of A will have pH less than the pH of pure water i.e. below 7.
    (b) A solution of ‘B’ will have more pH than pure water i.e. above 7.

Solution 1997-3:

  1. Water of crystallization: It is the fixed amount of water that is present in a crystal as an integral pat of its constitution. Compounds having water of crystallization are called hydrous salts.
    For example: Sodium carbonate Na2CO3 has 10 molecules of water present as water of crystallization Na2CO3.10H2O
  2. Anhydrous: Hydrous salt on heating lose their water of crystallization, such salts are then called anhydrous.
    For example:Na2CO3.10H2O on losing 10 molecules of water forms Na2CO3
