(b) Why he selects baking soda as a cure?
(c) What values are shown by Rahul?
17.
You are provided with three test tubes A, B and C as shown in the figure with different liquids.

What will you observe when you put
(a) a piece of blue litmus paper in each test tube?
(b) a piece of red litmus paper in each test tube?
(c) a few drops of phenolphthalein solution to each test tube?
18.
Which of the following sets of substances contains acids?
Grapes, lime water
Vinegar, soap
Curd, milk of magnesia
Curd, vinegar
19.
Neutralisation reaction is a
physical and reversible change
physical change that cannot be reversed
chemical and reversible change
chemical change that cannot be reversed
20.
When the soil is too basic, plants do not grow well in it. To improve its quality, what must be added to the soil?
Organic matter
Quicklime
Slaked lime
Calamine solution
21.
Turmeric is a natural indicator. On adding its paste to acid and base separately, which colours would be observed?
Yellow in both acid and base
Yellow in acid and red in base
Pink in acid and yellow in base
Red in acid and blue in base
22.
The correct way of making a solution of acid in water is to
add water to acid
add acid to water
mix acid and water simultaneously
add water to acid in a shallow container
23.
Acids turn blue litmus ________
24.
Acetic acid is present in __________ while __________ is present in lemon.
25.
The substances which show different colours in acidic, basic and neutral solutions are called __________
26.
Phenolphthalein gives ___________ colour with lime water.
27.
Lemon juice and vinegar taste _________ because they contain __________
1.
Bases which are mostly used in the laboratory as below
(i) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
(ii) Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH2)]
(iii) Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH)
2.
China rose petals when added to warm water, form a light pink coloured solution which may be used as an indicator. This indicator turns acidic solution to magenta (deep pink) and basic solution to green.
3.
(a) We take an antacid tablet such as milk of magnesia to neutralises the excessive acid released in the stomach.
(b) When an ant bites, it injects the formic acid into the skin. The effect of acid can be neutralised by applying calamine solution that contains zinc carbonate.
(c) The factory wastes contain acids if they are allowed to flow into the water bodies, the acid will kill fishes and other organisms. The factory wastes are thus neutralised by adding basic substances.
4.
The reaction between an acid and a base is known as neutralisation reaction. In this reaction, both acid and base cancel each other's effect. Neutralisation reaction results in the formation of salt and water. During this reaction, energy in the form of heat is evolved.
Acid + Base \(\longrightarrow\) Salt + Water + Heat \(\uparrow\)
e.g. when sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to hydrochloric acid (HCI), sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O) are obtained.
NaOH + HCI \(\longrightarrow\) NaCI + H2O + Heat \(\uparrow\)
Sodium Hydrochloric Sodium Water
hydroxide Acid Chloride
5.

| Acids | Bases |
| They are sour in taste | They are bitter in taste |
| They turn blue litmus to red | They turn red litmus to blue |
| They are not soapy to touch | They are soapy to touch |
| They are soluble in water | They may or may not be soluble in water |
