1. CASE STUDY (CHEMICAL REACTIONS

EQUATIONS)
Oxidation is the process of gaining of oxygen or
losing of hydrogen. Reduction is the process of
losing of oxygen or gaining of hydrogen. The
substance which undergoes oxidation is the reducing
agent while the substance which undergoes
reduction is known as the oxidising agent. Oxidation
and reduction always take place together and these
types of reactions are known as redox reactions.
 Some of the examples of redox reactions are given
below:

I. Give two examples of oxidation reaction from

your everyday life.
II. Write the oxidising agent in the reaction III
and VI.
II
III. Which of the following is an oxidizing agent?
(a) LiAlH4
(b) Alkaline KMnO4
(c) Acidified K2Cr2O7
(d) Both (b) and (c)
IV. Out of oxidation and reduction, which reaction
takes place at anode and why?
2. Consider the following reactions of three elements
A,B and C and answer the following questions.

b. Which is the least reactive element?
3. Diagram based question:

a. Identify the region of strong acid, weak acid,

neutral, weak base and strong base on the pH
scale.
b. Lemon juice has a pH value of 2.5. Mark its
position.

For a longer duration. Write the chemical equations of
the reactions involved.

6. For the given data showing object distance and

focal length of three mirrors, answer the following
questions:
a. Out of the three, in which case the mirror will form
the image having same size as the object.
b. Which mirror is being used as make-up mirror?

S.NO OBJECT IMAGE

DISTANCE DISTANCE
1 30 20
2 10 15
3 20 10
c. Draw the ray diagram for part 1) and 2).

7. A ray of light enters from air (n=1) into glass

(n=1.5) with an incident angle of 30°. Find the angle
of refraction. (Use Snell’s Law)
8. A concave lens has a focal length of 15 cm. An object
is placed 30 cm from the lens. Find the position of the
image.

9. A concave lens has focal length of 20 cm. At what

distance from the lens a 5 cm tall object be placed so
that it forms an image at 15 cm from the lens? Also
 calculate the size of the image formed.
10.
Describe an activity to show that the inner surface of
the spoon acts as a concave mirror.
11. A ray of light travels from air into water. If the angle of
incidence is 30 degrees and the refractive index of
water is 1.33, calculate the angle of refraction using
Snell's law.
