(viii) Which element is oxidised in the following reaction?
2FeSO4 +CI2 +H2SO4 → Fe(SO4)3+ 2HCl.
Aluminium does not react with water and does not corrode much in air because
What will happen when zinc is placed in aqueous copper (II) sulphate?
Copper can be separated from a mixture of zinc and copper by adding to the mixture
Which carbonate is the most stable to heat?
11. An unknown green sample was mixed with dilute HNO3 and gave a blue solution and a gas which precipitated lime water. The resulting solution was evaporated to dryness and upon further heating black residues was formed together with a brown gas which relighted a glowing splint.
(a) Identify the green sample, blue solution, the black solid and the two gases.
(b) Give balanced chemical equation for the reaction between the green sample and nitric acid, and the equation for the formation of black residues.
View AnsA Form Three student conducted experiments in the laboratory to synthesize nitrogen, ammonia and ethane. The experimental results were tabulated as follows:
Experiment | Reagents | Conditions | Products |
1 | Lead nitrate | Heat | Lead oxide, oxygen gas and nitrogen gas |
2 | Gaseous hydrogen and gaseous nitrogen | Catalyst | Ammonia gas |
3 | Ethene gas and hydrogen gas | Catalyst | Ethane |
Write word equations with corresponding chemical equations to summarize the reactions taking place in each of the experiments I to 3.

With the aid of chemical equations, explain what will happen when aluminium chloride reacts with water.
View AnsA student accidently broke a beaker containing copper (II) sulphate crystals. He decided to separate the blue crystals from the small pieces of glass by first dissolving the mixture and then filtering. What were his next steps?
View Ans(i) State the difference between physical strength and chemical strength of metals.
(ii) Giving example, explain why preparation of metallic oxides by direct method is not intensively used.
