Metals and Non-Metals — Science STD 10 — Question

CBSE BoardEnglish MediumSTD 10ScienceMetals and Non-Metals5 Marks
Question
  1. Explain how the following metals are obtained from their compounds by the reduction process:
  1. Metal M which is in the middle of the reactivity series.
  2. Metal N which is high up in the reactivity series.

Give one example of each type.

✓

Answer

  1. By reduction of its oxide with a suitable reducing agent (C/CO/Al)

$\text{eg}: \text{Fe}_{2}\text{ O}_{3} + \text{CO}\rightarrow\text{2 Fe + 3 CO}_{2}$

  1. By electrolytic reduction (of its fused or mloiten salt) eg.:

$\DeclareMathOperator*{\median}{{\text{2 NaCl}}} \median_{\text{(Molten)}}\xrightarrow[{\text{Current}}]{\text{electric}}2 \text{ Na + Cl}_{2}$

Two metals X and Y form the salts XSO4 and Y2SO4, respectively. The solution of salt XSO4 is blue in colour whereas that of Y2SO4 is colourless. When barium chloride solution is added to XSO4 solution, then a white precipitate Z is formed alongwith a salt which turns the solution green. And when barium chloride solution is added to Y2SO4solution, then the same white precipitate  Z is formed alongwith colourless common salt solution.
