Science X Case Study Question 10

The document describes a case study about Ajay wanting to white wash his house. He bought quicklime from the market. When he added water to a small amount of quicklime in a beaker, the water started boiling without heating and the beaker felt hot, indicating an exothermic reaction. The document then provides answers to multiple choice questions about the reaction between quicklime and water.

CASE STUDY QUESTION 09
Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v)

Ajay wanted his house to be white washed. He bought 10 kg of quicklime from the
market. Before mixing all 10 kg, he took one beaker and took small quantity of
quicklime in a beaker then he added some water, he observed that the water started
boiling even when it was not being heated and he touch the beaker carefully. The
beaker feels to be quite hot.
(a)What is formed when water is added to quicklime.
(i) CaCO3 (ii) CaO (iii) Ca(OH)2 (iv) NaOH

Ans: (iii) Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2

(b) The nature of the product formed is:


(i) Acidic (ii) Basic (iii) Neutral (iv) Both (i) and (ii)

Ans: (ii) Calcium hydroxide is basic in nature.


(c) The chemical reaction between quicklime and water is characterised by :
(i) evolution of hydrogen gas
(ii) formation of slaked lime precipitate
(iii) change in temperature of mixture
(iv) change in colour of the product
The chemical reaction between quicklime (CaO) and water is characterized by
change in temperature of mixture. The reaction is exothermic (heat is liberated)
and a hissing sound is heard. The product is slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).

Ans: (iii) change in temperature of mixture


(d) Which of the following statements is correct about the above reaction based on
your observations?
I. It is an endothermic reaction.
II. It is an exothermic reaction
III. The pH of the resulting solution will be more than seven.
IV. The pH of the resulting solution will be less than seven.

(i) I and II (ii) II and III (iii) I and IV (iv) III and IV

It is an exothermic reaction because heat is given out. The resulting compound is


Ca(OH)2 which is basic in nature. So the pH of the resulting solution will be more
than seven.

Ans: (ii) II and III


(e) Which of the following is not an endothermic reaction ?
(a) CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
(b) 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
(c) 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6 H12O6 + 6O2
(d) C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
During respiration, glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body to form
carbon dioxide and water alongwith the production of energy.

Respiration is an exothermic process because energy is produced during this process

Ans: (d) C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
