CHAPTER 2- CHEMICAL REACTION AND CHEMICAL
EQUATION
Q1: State law of conservation of mass (matter)? Give examples.
Ans.: During any process, mass is neither created nor destroyed this law
was put forward by a French chemist, lavoiser in 1785.
This law states that:
Matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction.
During a chemical reaction, the total mass of the product is equal to the
total mass of the reactants.
Example no 1:
When a piece of iron is left in moist air its surface gradually turns
brown, the object gets rusted and gains mass.
4Fe+3O22Fe2O3
The increase in mass is just the mass of oxygen.
Example no 2
When coal burns it leaves behind ash. The ash is lighter than coal. But
the mass of coal will be equal to that of ash and the liberated carbon
dioxide.
C+O2CO2
Q2: state exothermic and endothermic reaction with examples?
Ans: exothermic reaction:-Reaction in which heat energy is evolved is
known as exothermic reaction in such reaction the system become
warmer and neat potential energy of substances decreases. The enthalpy
of product is less than the enthalpy of
reactants.

Examples:When unslaked calcium oxide is added to water. the water becomes

warm with formation of
Slaked time . in this reaction heat energy is released.
Endothermic reaction:-Reaction in which heat energy is absorbed is
known as endothermic reaction . in such reaction enthalpy of reactants is
lower than those of product. Since energy
Is absorbed during reaction the temperature of reaction decreases.
(example are)
Heat is absorbed in the decomposition of calcium carbonate. In this
reaction heating must be continuous to decompose calcium carbonate.
Q3: What are different types of reaction? Give chemical reaction of each
type?
Ans: Chemical reaction are of following types:
1: Simple decomposition :-In this reaction a single compound is
decomposed into two or more simple substance.
2: Synthesis:-In this reaction two or more substance combine to from a
single compound it is also known as addition reaction.
3: Displacement:-In this reaction an atom or radical displaced by another
in a compound. Such reaction depend upon the electropositive or
electronegative nature of an atom or radical to displaced another.
4: Double decomposition / displacement :-In this reaction the two
reactants decomposed to form two new substances by exchanging their
radicals.
5: Neutralization:-In this reaction , the hydrogen ion of an acid
neutralized by the hydroxide ion of a base to from salt and water.
6: Hydrolysis:-In this reaction the salt of either weak acid and base
dissolve in water to from acid and base.
Q4:Explain Laws of Chemical Combinations with example.
Ans: Laws of Chemical Combinations

There are four laws of chemical combinations these laws explained the
general feature of chemical change. These laws are:
1. Law of Conservation of Mass
2. Law of Definite Proportions
3. Law of Multiple Proportions
4. Law Reciprocal Proportions
Antoine Lavoiser has rejected the worn out ideas about the changes that
take place during a chemical reaction. He made careful quantitative
measurements in chemical reactions and established that mass is neither
created nor nor destroyed in a chemical change.
Law of Conservation of Mass
Statement
It is presented by Lavoiser. It is defined as:
Mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but it
only changes from one form to another form.
In a chemical reaction, reactants are converted to products. But the total
mass of the reactants and products remains the same. The following
experiment easily proves law of conservation of mass.
Practical Verification (Landolt Experiment)
German chemist H. Landolt, studied about fifteen different chemical
reactions with a great skill, to test the validity of the law of conservation
of mass.
For this, he took H.shaped tube and filled the two limbs A and B, with
silver nitrate (AgNO3) in limb A and Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) in limb
B. The tube was sealed so that material could not escape outside. The
tube was weighed initially in a vertical position so that the solution
should not intermix with each other. The reactant were mixed by
inverting and shaking the tube. The tube was weighed after mixing (on

the formation of white precipitate of AgCl). He observed that weight

remains same.
HCl + AgNO3 -> AgCl + NaNO3
Law of Definite Proportions
Statement
It is presented by Proust. It is defined as:
When different elements combine to give a pure compound, the ratio
between the masses of these elements will always remain the same.
Proust proved experimentally that compound obtained from difference
source will always contain same elements combined together in fixed
proportions.
Example
Water can be obtained from different sources such as river, ocean, well,
canal, tube well, rain or by the chemical combination of hydrogen and
oxygen. If different samples of water are analyzed, it will have two
elements, hydrogen and oxygen and the ratio between their mass is 1:8.
Law of Multiple Proportions
Statement
This law is defined as:
When two elements combine to give more than one compounds, the
different masses of one element, which will combine with the fixed mass
of other element, will be in simple whole number ratio.
Two different elements can combine to form more than one compound.
They can do so by combining in different ratios to give different
compounds.
Example
Hydrogen and oxygen combine with one another to form water (H2O)
and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In water and hydrogen oxide 2 g of

hydrogen combine with 16g and 32g of oxygen respectively. According

to law of multiple proportions, the different masses of oxygen (16g and
32g) which have reacted with fixed mass (2g) of hydrogen will have a
simple ratio between each other i.e. 16:32 or 1:2. It means that hydrogen
peroxide contains double the number of oxygen atoms than water. This
law proves this point of Daltons Atomic Theory that atoms do not break
in a chemical reaction.
Law of Reciprocal Proportions
Statement
This law is defined as:
When two element A, B combine separately, with the mixed mass of
the third element E, the ratio in which these elements combine with E is
either the same or simple multiple of the ratio in which A and B
combine with each other.
Example
Hydrogen and Nitrogen separately combine to form ammonia (NH3) and
dinitrogen oxide (N2O), in these compounds, fixed mass of nitrogen is
14g and combines with 8 g of oxygen and 3 g of hydrogen. The ratio
between the mass of oxygen and hydrogen is 8:3. Hydrogen and oxygen
also combine with one another to form water (H2O). The ratio between
hydrogen and oxygen in water is 16:2. These ratios are not same. Let us
observe whether these ratios are simple multiple to each other or not
following mathematical operation is carried out.
8:3 ::16:2
8/3 : 16/2
or
8/3 x 2/16
or

1/3 => 1:3

CHAPTER 3- WATER AND SOLUTION

Q1) Define solubility what are the factors which can affect solubility?
Ans: Solubility:-The solubility of a solute in a solvent at a particular
temperature is the number of grams of solute necessary of saturate 100g
of the solvent at that temperature.
Factore of solubility
1)Temperature:-it is often observed solubility of many solute the
solution generally increases in temperature for example, the solubility of
potassium mitrate increases with temperatures the solubility of some
solute decreases with the increase in temperature such solute generally
heat when dissolved in water for example, calcium oxide is less soluble
in hot water than in the cold state.
gases are also more soluble in cold solvent than in hot solvent.
2) Pressure:-Solubility of gases increases with the increase in pressure .
carbon di oxide in filled in soda water bottles pressure.
3) Nature of the solute and the solvent:-The solubility of polar
compound is more in polar solvent and that of non-polar solvent in nonpolar solvent.
Q2) Define molarity?
Ans: Molarity:-Molarity is a measure of the concentration of solution. it
is denoted by M.it is define as the number of moles of solute
dissolved per liter of solution(not solvent).
M= number of mole of solute
volume of solvent in dm3(L)
Q3) What are electrolysis and non-electrolysis also give example of
strong and weak electrolysis?

Ans: Electrolysis: The substance which allow electricity to pass through

their solution and are chemical decompose are called electrolysis.
example: acid,base,salt
Non-electrolysis:- These substances which do not dissociate into ions
when dissolved in water and do not induct electricity are known as nonelectrolysis.
example:sugar,solution,benzene.
Strong electrolysis:-Those electrolysis which are highly dissociated and
can conduct large current are known as strong electrolysis.
example: HCl, NaOH
Weak electrolysis:Those electrolysis which are poorly dissociated and
can conduct poor current are known as weak electrolysis.
example: acetic acid, mercuric chloride
Q4)Define electrolysis? explain the prosis of electrolysis of copper
chloride solution?
Ans: Electrolysis: The movement of ion of an electrolyte and their
deposition as neutral species at the electrodes under the influence of
electric current is known as electrolysis.
The electrolysis of aqueous copper chloride: When aqueous copper
chloride is electrolyzed between carbon electrodes copper is deposited at
the cathode(negative electrode) & chlorine is given at the anode(positive
electrode).
Aqueous copper chloride contain copper ion and chloride ion. The
copper ion behind positively charged move towards the cathode and the
chloride ion behind negatively move towards the anode. The copper ion
take up electrons from the cathode and deposit copper on it.
Reaction at cathode: Cu++(aq)+2e-Cu(s)
Reaction at anode: 2Cl-(aq)Cl2 + 2eQ5) Define saturated, unsaturated and super saturated?
Ans: Saturated: A saturated solution is the solution which contains
maximum amount of solute that it can dissolve at a particular
temperature.

Unsaturated: An unsaturated solution is one which contains less amount

of solute that it can held at a particular temperature.
Super saturated: A super solution is one which contains more solute that
it can theorically be held by the solvent at a particular temperature
Q6) What do you mean by hard water and soft water?
Ans: Soft water:-Water which produces lather with soap easily and do
not produce insoluble curdy precipitate is called soft water.
Hard water:-Water which produces insoluble curdy precipitate with soap
and lather is not easily formed is called hard water.

CHAPTER 5- THE PERIODIC TABLE

Q1: Write down the general characteristic group of IA, VIIA and VIIIA?
Ans:Group IA(ALKALI METAL): The alkali metals lithium, sodium,
potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium are light metal. They are very
reactive and chemically are strongly electropositively.As the group is
descending there is a gradual decrease in ionization potential with an
increase in the size of the atom. They contain one electron in their outer
most shell and form ionic bonds by loss of valence electron. Compound
of these metal were obtained from wood ashes.
Group VIIA(HALOGEN FAMILY):-Fluorine, chlorine, bromine and
iodine constitute a group or family of element called the halogen, a term
which means salt forms. The halogen are very active non-metal and
are very much a like in their chemical properties. Each of the halogen
has seven valence electron. Halogen are highly electronegative element
and their electro negatively decrease down the group.Flourine and
chlorine are gases at ordinary temperature bromine is a liquid and iodine
is a solid. all the halogen exit as diatomic molecule.
Group VIIIA(NOBLE GASES):-The element of group VIIIA are called
noble gases or inert gases or zero gases element. They are
monatomic and low boiling gases. Since the outermost shell of these
element are complete therefore these element are mostly chemically

unreactive.All the noble gases except radon are normally present in the
atmosphere. They are mostly obtained from air by liquefaction process.
Q2) What are transition element write four properties of them?
Ans: Transition element: Element of group IB, IIB, through VIIB are
known as transition element. They include the element scandium,
yttrium, thanum and actinium and the two rare-earth series of element
the lanthanide and actinide series.
properties:
(1) These element have incomplete inner electron shell.
(2) All transition element are metal.
(3) The bond between the atom are very strong and they have melting
points.
(4) These compound are formed by coordinate covalent bond.
Q3)Define and explain Mendeleyvs Period Table and Periodic Law also
discuss the Defects in Mendeleyvs Periodic Table
Ans: Mendeleyvs Period Table and Periodic Law
Russian Chemist, Mendeleyvs (186) who was working separately from
Lother Mayer published a table of elements.
According to Mendeleyvs when the element were arranged in order of
their increasing atomic masses, the elements with similar properties
were repeated after regular interval and were placed one above the other.
A table obtained in this manner is called Periodic Table. Mendeleyvs
stated this periodicity in the form of Periodic Law.
Important Features of Mendeleyvs Periodic Table
The important features of Mendeleyvs Periodic table are:
Periods and Groups
The horizontal rows which run from left to right in Periodic Table are
called Periods and they are twelve in number.

The vertical rows which run from top to bottom in periodic table are
called groups and they are eight in number.
Vacant Spaces
Mendeleyvs left many vacant spaces for the still unknown elements.
For example, next to Calcium (40) should be Titanium (48) but it
resembled silicon (28) instead of Aluminum (27). He left vacant space
for element with atomic mass 44.
Discovery of New Element
Mendeleyvs discovered new elements and also guessed their atomic
mass and properties.
Atomic Mass Correction
Mendeleyvs corrected the atomic masses of certain elements on basis of
their properties and provided proper place to them in the periodic table.
Defects in Mendeleyvs Periodic Table
The Mendeleyvs Period Table has following defects:
Irregular Position of Some Elements
According to Mendeleyvs Periodic Law Potassium (39) should be
placed before Argon (40) but he placed Argon (40) before Potassium
(39) which goes against his law.
Position of Isotopes
Mendeleyvs periodic table gives no indication about the position of
isotopes.
Structure of Atom
Mendeleyvs Periodic table gives no idea about structure of atoms.
Position of Lanthanides and Actinides
Lanthanides and Actinides have not been given proper place in Periodic
Table.
Coinage and Alkali Metals

Alkali metals and coinage metals with different properties are placed in
the same group. This defect has been replaced by placing them into two
sub groups.
Q4)Define the following with its unit,factors,tends or variation in groups
and periods.
Atomic Radius
Definition
One half of the distance between the nucleus of two identical atoms
when these are in close contact with each other is called Atomic Radius.
Unit
It is measured in angstrom unit A.
Trend in Period
The atomic radii decreases from left to right within a period in the
periodic table. This is because nuclear charge increases with the increase
of atomic number. But the number of shells remains same within a
period.
Trend in Group
Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group. This is because,
although nuclear charge increases from top to bottom but at the same
time on new shell is also added for each successive element down the
group.
Ionization Energy (I.E) or Ionization Potential (I.P)
Definition
The minimum energy needed to remove an electron from an isolated,
gaseous atom in its ground state is called Ionization Energy.
Unit
It is expressed in electron volts or kilo-joules per mole.

1 ev = 96.49kj
Factors Affecting Ionization Energy
The ionization energy of elements depends upon the following factors:
1. Effect of Nuclear Charge on I.E
The greater the nuclear charge the higher is the ionization energy.
2. Effect of Atomic Size
The larger the size of atom the lower is the ionization energy.
Trend of I.E in Period
Ionization energy increases from left to right in a period due to increase
in nuclear change and decrease in atomic size.
Trend of I.E in Group
I.E decreases from top to bottom in a group due to increase in atomic
size.
Electro negativity
Definition
The tendency of each atom in a covalent molecule to attract a shared pair
of electrons towards itself is known as its electro negativity.
Factors Affecting Electro negativity
Electro negativity depends upon the following factors:
Atomic size
Atomic Number
Electron Affinity
Ionization Energy
Trend or Variation in the Period
Electro negativity increases from left to right within a period due to
increase in nuclear charge and decrease in atomic size.
Trend or Variation in the Group

Electro negativity values decreases from top to bottom within a group

due to increase in atomic size.
Electron Affinity
Definition
The energy change that occurs when an electron is gained by an atom in
the gaseous state is known as Electron Affinity.
Electron Affinity for the addition of first electron is negative i.e. energy
is released but for further addition of electrons it is positive because
energy has to be added to over come repulsion between negative ion and
electron.
Unit
It is measured in KJ/mol or in e.v per atom.
Factors Affecting Electron Affinity
Atomic Size
Nuclear Charge
Tend or Variation of Electron Affinity in Group
Down the group in the periodic table, electron affinity decreases because
the addition of a new shell to each atom decreases its force of attraction.
Trend or Variation of Electron Affinity in Period
In a period, the electron affinity increases from left to right because the
incoming successive atoms have higher nuclear charge and attract
electron more towards itself.
CHAPTER 6- ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Q1) Describe the postulates of Dalton atomic theory? What are the draw
backs in this theory?
Ans:Dalton atomic theory:-The fundamental postulates of Dalton atomic
theory are stated below:
1) Matter is composed of extremely tiny invisible particles called atom.
2) Atom can neither be created or destroyed.

3) Atom of a particular element are identical in size shape mass and all
other properties & differ from atom of other element in these properties.
4) Chemical combination takes place between small whole number of
atom.
According to the latest research on the structure of atom &matter neutral
particle following defeat are observed in Dalton atomic model.
Drawbacks of dalton atomic theory:1) Atom consist of charged particle called proton and electron & neutral
particle called neutron.
2) The atom of the same element may differ in their atomic mass and
such atom of an element are called isotopes.
3) The ratio between atom of various element in many molecules of the
organic compound is not simple.
4) Matter can be converted into energy by Einstein equation E=mc2
Q2) How was electron discovered? describe in detail the experiment
performed for the discovery of electron?
Ans: Discovery of electron:-Electron is the smallest particle of atom. the
most convising evidence for the existence of electron came from the
experiment performed by crooker, faraday, and JJ Thomson. A high
voltage electric current was pass through gases at a very low
pressure(1mm of hg) in a dis charge tube. When high voltage is applied
across the two metallic electrode sealed in a discharge tube the rays
begin ti originate from cathode which are called cathode ray. These rays
travel in straight line towards the anode. If an electric field is applied ,
these rays bend towards the positive pole which show their negative
nature.
Properties of cathode rays:1) Cathode rays travel in straight line away from the cathode.
2) Cathode rays are negatively charged as they bend towards the positive
pole of the magnetic field.
3) The rays upon striking glass or certain other material cause these
material to glow.
4) The charge to mass ratio (e/m) of those particle was found equal to
that of electron.

e/m = 1.76 * 10 power8 coulomb per gram

5) The mass of each negative particle was found equal to 1/1837 of the
lightest hydrogen atom.
On the basic of those properties it was concluded that cathode rays are
negatively charged particle called electron.
Q3) Discuss bohrs atomic model &describe its significance in atomic
structure?
Ans: Bohrs atomic model:- Neil bohr proposed a new model for the
structure of the atom in 1913.The salient features of this model are that.
1) Electron revolve around the nucleus in fixed circular paths which he
called orbit or energy level.
2) As long as an electron revolve in a particular energy level it does not
emit or absorb energy.
3) When an electron absorb energy it moves to a higher energy level
further away from the nucleus. When it lose energy it return to lower
energy level closer to the nucleus & the energy is emitted as light.
4) The electron loses a definite quantity of energy called quantum of
energy when it jump down from an orbit of higher energy level to a
lower energy level. The energy is emitted in the form of radiation. The
frequency of the energy emitted is directly proportional to the difference
in energy between the two level.
5) The angular momentum (mvr)of an electron in any orbit is integral
multiple of h/2x
mvr = nh/2x
Q4) Name the fundamental particle of an atom write the characteristic of
each particle?
Ans: fundamental particles of atom:- fundamental particle of an atom
are:
1)Electron:1: It is a negatively charged particle.
2: Its mass is equal to 9.11*10 power-31 kg
3: The charge on electron is unit negatively or 1.6022*10power -19
coulomb

2: Its mass is equal to 1.67492*10 power-27 kg
3: It is 1842 times beaver than an electron.
4: Neutron are also present in the nucleus of an atom.
Q5) Describe the Rutherford Experiment and Discovery of Nucleus
?What are the draw backs Rutherford Model?
Rutherford Experiment and Discovery of Nucleus
Lord Rutherford (1911) and his coworkers performed an experiment.
They bombarded a very thin, gold fail with Alpha particles from a
radioactive source. They observed that most of the particles passed
straight through the foil undeflected. But a few particles were deflected
at different angles. One out of 4000 Alpha particles was deflected at an
angle greater than 150.
(Diagram)
Conclusion
Following conclusions were drawn from the Rutherfords Alpha
Particles scattering experiment.
1. The fact that majority of the particles went through the foil
undeflected shows that most of the space occupied by an atom is empty.
2. The deflection of a few particles over a wide angle of 150 degrees
shows that these particles strike with heavy body having positive charge.

3. The heavy positively charged central part of the atom is called

nucleus.
4. Nearly all of the mass of atom is concentrated in the nucleus.
5. The size of the nucleus is very small as compared with the size of
atom.
Defects of Rutherford Model
Rutherford model of an atom resembles our solar system. It has
following defects:
1. According to classical electromagnetic theory, electron being charged
body will emit energy continuously. Thus the orbit of the revolving
electron becomes smaller and smaller until it would fall into the nucleus
and atomic structure would collapse.
2. If revolving electron emits energy continuously then there should be a
continuous spectrum but a line spectrum is obtained.
(Diagram)
Q6)Define the following:
Atomic Number
The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic
number or proton number. It is denoted by z. The proton in the nucleus
of an atom is equal to number of electrons revolving around its nucleus.
Mass Number
The total number of the protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of
an atom is called mass number. The protons and neutrons together are
called nucleon. Hence it is also known as nucleon number. It is denoted
by A. the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom is
represented by N.
Mass Number = No of Protons + No of neutrons

A=Z+N
Isotopes
The atoms of same elements which have same atomic number but
different mass number are called Isotopes. The number of protons
present in the nucleus of an atom remains the same but number of
neutrons may differ.

electrons from one atom to the other atom.
the atom which lose electron acquire positive charge and the one which
again which acquire negative charge. for example 1
Consider the formation of NaCl:- In formation of NaCL molecules one
electron is transferred from an atom to CL atom their by the octet of
each atom is completed.
Covalent bond :-It is the bond formed by the mutal sharing of electron
between the tow bonded atoms. example.

Q:2) How aluminum is extracted from its ore. give its physical and
chemical properties?
Ans) Preparation:- It is prepared industrially by a process called the hall
beroult process.
purification of ore:- naturally occurring bauxite contain impurities like
silica and oxides of iron. the first step is obtained aluminum therefore
involves the purification of the mineral. the natural bauxite is reacted
with a hot concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide and form soluble
sodium aluminates .the impurities remain undissolved and ore removed
by filtration. aluminum hydroxide is then precipitate from the solution
and is heated to regenerate pure aluminum oxide..
electrolysis of aluminum:- the pure aluminum oxide obtained by the
above process is dissolved in a molten mixture of cryolite and calcium
fluoride at 950c. this molten mixture is electrolyzed in a specially
designed cell with carbon anode. the final result can be represented by
the following simplified electrode reaction.
Al2O32Al+3O
aluminum is liberated at the cathode and oxygen is liberated at the anode
however the atomic oxygen released at the carbon anode reacts with
anode itself to produce carbon dioxide gas.
thus the carbon anodes constantly consumed during the process and they
must be replaced at suitable intervals.

CHAPTER 9 IRON, COPPER, ZINE AND LEAD
Q1) How is iron manufacture by blast furnace?
A)extraction of iron: iron metal is gradually extracted from its oxide ores
by reducing them with carbon in the from of coal and coke.
the charge, consisting of roasted ores, coke and limestone is fed into the
top of the furnace. a preheated blast of air at about 1500c is blown into
the furnace under pressure near to the bottom. the blast oxidizes the coke
to carbon dioxide.
the reaction is highly exothermic considerable heats librated which
raises the temperature about 1900c in this region as the carbon dioxide
passes upwards it react with more coke to form carbon monoxide.
the formation of carbon monoxide is an endothermic process and the
temperature in this region falls to about 1100c .the carbon monoxide
thus produced serves as the main reducing agent in the upper region of
the furnace.
the liquid iron runs downward to the bottom of the furnace and is with
drawn through a tap hole.
the lime stone which was added to the charged is known as flux. it
decomposes to form CaO and carbon dioxide.CaO react with the
gangue(mostly silica and some alumina)to form their respective salts.
they are known as slag.

the slag floats as the molten iron and is run off which molten iron is seen
into sand moulds where it cools down to solid blocks called pig iron.
Q2) what is rusting?
ans) rusting of iron:- when an iron is exposed to air and moisture its
surface is gradually corroded and converted into a brown mass. this
brown mass is known as rust.
Q3)how is rusting controlled by the catholic protection and
electroplating?
ans)cathodic protection:-to protect theironobject from corrosion by this
method the object is connected to a block of metal such as gene or
aluminum which is comparatively more reaction than iron when
corrosion starts an electrochemical reaction takes place and only the
more reaction prevented from rusting.
electroplating:-electroplating is used to cover iron object chromium,
nickel or other less easily corroded metals. this process used to prevent
decorative as well as protective coatings.
alloying:-rusting is often prevented by converting the iron into an alloy
such as stainless steel.
painting:- paint is generally used for coating large object such as ship,
bridges and soon.
grease and oil:- grease and oil is used for coating the moving parts of
machinery.
Q4) how copper is extracted?
ans)extraction of copper:- the extraction of copper from its ore involved
concentration roasting,melting,reducing and electrical refining.
1) concentration:-the ore is concentrated by a process known as froth
floation.in froth floation the mixture of the mineral and impurities are
mixed with water and oil. pure oil or creosote oil are usually used. air is
blown into the mixture and the oil forms a froth which floats to the
surface. the ore particles tend to get coated with oil and are carried to the
surface with it. the froth along with the mineral particles is skim men off
from the top to get the concentrated.

2) roasting:- the concentrated ore is roasted in a furnace. part of the

sulphur is converted to sulphur dioxide and other impurities such as
arsenic which are burnt off.
3) smelting:-in the smelting process the roasted ore is mixed with sand
and heated strongly until it melts. the remaining impurities react with the
silica to form a slag of molten silicates. this is removed from the top of
the molten mass which remain is called matte and consist of mixture of
CuS2 and FeS.
4) reduction:-reduction of the matte is carried out in a converter where
air is blown through. the molten material and molten material and
molten copper is obtained. more sand is added as a flux to remove the
iron in the form of an iron silicate slag.
5) refining:- blistered copper is refined by electrolysis. blistered copper,
in the anode and a plate of pure copper is made cathode. a solution of
copper sulphate act as the electrolyte. the impure copper dissolves at the
anode and is deposited in the form of pure copper at the cathode.
Q5) write 3 chemical properties of copper?
ans) chemical properties:1) copper react with oxygen, sulphur and halogens under suitable
condition to from the corresponding compound.
2) it react with acid which contain oxygen, such as dilute nitric acid and
concerned sulphuric acid.
3) copper displace less reaction metal, such as silver another precious
metals like give and iron
