12. What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.
Ans. A reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat or light is called exothermic
reaction. Example of exothermic reaction are:
CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O + heat
A reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding and cooling is produced is
called endothermic reaction. Example of exothermic reaction are:
a. CaCO3 CaO + CO2
b. N2 + O2 2NO
13. Why decomposition reactions are called the opposite of combination reactions?
Write equations for these reactions.
In a decomposition reaction, a single substance breaks down into two or more substance
while in a combination reaction, two or more substances react to produce one substance.
Therefore, decomposition reactions are called opposite of combination reactions.
Example of decomposition reaction: Example of combination reaction:
CaO (s) + CO2 (g) CaCO3 (s)
14. Write one equation each for decomposition reactions where energy is supplied in
the form of heat, light or electricity.

15. What is difference between displacement and double displacement reactions? Write
22
equations for these reactions.
Ans. In displacement reaction, more reactive element displaces the less reactive element
from its compound. For example
Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)
But in double displacement reaction, exchange of ions takes place. For example
HCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) AgCl (s) + HNO3 (aq)
16. Explain the following in terms of gain and loss of oxygen with two examples each?
a. Oxidation
b. Reduction
Ans. Corrosion- action of air, water, acid or other substance on metal surface to form oxides
and carbonates is called corrosion. Corrosion of iron is called rusting. Green coating on
copper and black coating on silver is examples of corrosion.
Rancidity-change in smell of food item containing fat and oil when kept open for longer time
due to oxidation is called rancidity. To prevent rancidity food items are flushed with
nitrogen or kept in airtight containers.
