Seawater contains many salts dissolved in it. Common salt is separated from these salts. Deposits of solid salt are also found in several parts of the world. These large crystals are often brown due to impurities. This is called rock salt and is mined like coal. The common salt is an important raw material for chemicals of daily use.
A chemical compound used in glass, soap and paper industries is
Five solutions A, B, C, D and E when tested with pH paper showed pH as 4, 1, 13, 7 and 10 respectively. Which solution is : (1) Strongly acidic (2) Strongly alkaline (3) Weakly acidic (4) Neutral and (5) Weakly alkaline ? Arrange the solutions in increasing order of H⁺ ion concentration.
Write the name and formula of (1) an acidic salt and (2) a basic salt giving the name of the parent acid and parent base used to form the salt in each case.
Name and state in brief the process which is used to prepare sodium hydroxide from sodium chloride. In this process along with the main product two gases 'X' and 'Y' are also given off at the two electrodes. Name 'X' and 'Y' specifying the name of their respective electrode at which each gas is obtained. One of these gases when reacts with dry calcium hydroxide produces a compound 'Z' which is widely used in water treatment plants and textile industries. Name Z and write chemical equation for the reaction involved in its formation.
Salts play a very important role in our daily life. Sodium chloride which is known as common salt is used almost in every kitchen. Baking soda is also a salt used in faster cooking as well as in baking industry. The family of salts is classified on the basis of cations and anions present in them.
