Write word equations and then balanced equations for the reaction taking place when -
$(a)$ dilute sulphuric acid reacts with aluminium powder.
$(b)$ dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with iron filings.
$(a)$ Sulphuric acid $+$ Aluminium $\rightarrow$ Aluminium sulphate $+$ Hydrogen
$3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4(aq)}}\,+A{{l}_{(s)}}\to $ $A{{l}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3(aq)}}\,+\,3{{H}_{2(g)}}$
$(b)$ Hydrochloric acid $+$ Iron $\rightarrow$ Ferric chloride $+$ Hydrogen
$6 HCl _{(a q)}+2 Fe _{(s)} \longrightarrow 2 FeCl_{3(aq)}+3 H _{2(g)}$
While diluting an acid, why is it recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid ?
Fresh milk has a $pH$ of $6$. How do you think the $pH$ will change as it turns into curd ? Explain your answer.
A solution reacts with crushed egg-shells to give a gas that turns lime water milky. The solution contains
How is the concentration of hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ affected when excess base is dissolved in a solution of sodium hydroxide ?
You have two solutions, $A$ and $B$. The $pH$ of solution $A$ is $6$ and $pH$ of solution $B$ is $8$. Which solution has more hydrogen ion concentration Which of this is acidic and which one is basic?
