(a) Physical
(b) Chemical
(c) Physical
(d) $CO_2$
(e) chemical reaction
(f) Chemical
(g) Chemical
(h) air and water
(i) Acetic Acid


Question 2.
Show with the help of chemical & word equation the chemical reaction between
(a) Vinegar and baking soda.
(b) Carbon dioxide and lime water.
(c) Burning of magnesium ribbon.
(d) Magnesium oxide and water.
(e) Rusting of iron & Copper sulfate and iron.

Answer

(a) baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) plus vinegar (acetic acid) yields carbon dioxide plus water plus sodium ion plus acetate ion
Vinegar (Acetic acid) + Baking soda (Sodium hydrogencarbonate) -> Carbon dioxide + other substances
$NaHCO_3 + CH_3C00H -> NaC_2H_3O_2 + H_2O + CO_2$
(b) They form water and Calcium Carbonate
$CO_2(g) + Ca(OH)_2(aq) -> CaCO_3(s) + H_2O(l)$
(c)Magnesium oxide is formed
$2Mg(s)+O_2 (g) -> 2MgO(s)+ energy$
(d)magnesium hydroxide
$MgO + H_2O -> Mg(OH)_2$.
(e) Fe(s) + Oxygen ($O_2$, from the air) + water ($H_2O$) -> rust (iron oxide $Fe_2O_3$)
