Question 20: Complete the following chemical reactions.
(i) PbS(s) + H2O2(aq) →
(ii) MnO-4(aq) + H2O2(aq) →
(iii) CaO(s) + H2O(g) →
(iv) AlCl3(g) + H2O(I) →
(v) Ca3N2(s) + H2O(I) →
Classify the above into (a) hydrolysis, (b) redox and (c) hydration reactions.
Answer:
(i) PbS(s) + H2O2(aq) → PbSO4(s) + H2O(l)
H2O2 is acting as an oxidizing agent in the reaction. Hence, it is a redox reaction.
(ii) 2MnO-4(aq) + 5H2O2(aq) → 6H+(aq) → 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5O2(g)
H2O2(aq) is acting as a reducing agent in the acidic medium, thereby oxidizing MnO-4(aq). Hence, the given reaction is a redox reaction.
(iii) CaO(s) + H2O(g) → Ca(OH)2aq
The reactions in which a compound reacts with water to produce other compounds are called hydrolysis reactions. The given reaction is hydrolysis.
(iv) 2AlCl3(g) + 3H2O(I) → Al2O3(s) + 6HCl(aq)
The reactions in which a compound reacts with water to produce other compounds are called hydrolysis reactions. The given reaction represents hydrolysis of AlCl3.
(v) Ca3N2(s) + 6H2O(I) → 3Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2NH3(g)
The reactions in which a compound reacts with water to produce other compounds are called hydrolysis reactions. The given reaction represents hydrolysis of Ca3N2.
