Question
An acid $\mathbf{X}$ present in tamarind when mixed with $\mathbf{Y}$, produces a mixture $\mathbf{Z} . \mathbf{Z}$ on addition to a dough when heated makes cakes soft and spongy. $\mathbf{Y}$ is prepared from common salt and helps in faster cooking.
i. Write the common names of $\mathbf{X}, \mathbf{Y}$ and $\mathbf{Z}$, and the chemical formula of $\mathbf{Y}$.
ii. How is $\mathbf{Y}$ prepared and how does it help in making cakes soft and spongy? Illustrate the reaction with suitable chemical equation.
iii. Write the name and chemical formula of a mild base other than $\mathbf{Y}$ used as an antacid.

Answer

i. X-Tartaric acid Y-Baking soda Z- Baking powder Y- $\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$
ii. $\mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{NH}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$
$\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+$ Sodium salt of acid
$\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ released during heating makes the cake soft and spongy
iii. Magnesium hydroxide; $\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}$

A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
  1. What is substance P? Write its common name as well as chemical formula.
  2. What is substance Q?
