(i) Action of water on quick lime
EXPERIMENT 1 (a)
Aim  
To perform and observe the action of water on quicklime and classify the reaction.
Materials Required 
Calcium oxide, water, beaker, glass rod, dropper, red litmus paper, test tube, filter paper, funnel. 
Theory
Quicklime reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide. As in this reaction two substances – quicklime and water combine to form a new substance, therefore, this reaction is called combination reaction. This chemical change can be represented by the given chemical equation:
cbse-class-10-science-practical-skills-types-of-reactions-5
During this chemical change, heat is also released. Therefore, this is also an example of exothermic reaction.
Procedure And Observation TableThe experimental procedure is described in the table:
cbse-class-10-science-practical-skills-types-of-reactions-6
ResultTwo compounds, viz. quicklime and water combine to form calcium hydroxide. Therefore, this reaction is an example of combination reaction.
Precautions 
  1. Quicklime can cause severe burns, therefore, it should be handled with spatula.
  2. As the reaction between quicklime and water is exothermic, water should be poured over quicklime slowly.
  3. The filtrate collected should be clear.

EXPERIMENT 31b)

(ii) Action of heat on ferrous sulphate crystals 
Aim 
To perform and observe the action of heat on crystals of ferrous sulphate and classify the reaction.
Material Required 
Ferrous sulphate crystals, test tubes, test tube holder, blue limus paper.
TheoryThe crystals of ferrous sulphate are green in colour. When these crystals are heated, following reaction takes place.
cbse-class-10-science-practical-skills-types-of-reactions-7
In this reaction, a single reactant breaks down to give simple products. Therefore, this is a decomposition reaction.
Ferrous sulphate crystals (FeS04.7H20) lose water when heated and the colour of crystals changes. It then decomposes to ferric oxide(Fe203), sulphur dioxide (S02) and sulphur trioxide (S03). Ferric oxide is solid while S02 and S03 are gases. Both S02 and S03 are acidic and hence, these gases turn the blue litmus red. Sulphur dioxide can reduce an acidified solution of potassium dichromate. This reaction can be utilised to confirm the presence of sulphur dioxide.

ResulstOn heating, ferrous sulphate decomposes to give ferric oxide, sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide. This decomposition reaction.
Precautions  
  1. While heating ferrous sulphate, keep the mouth of test tube away from you and your classmates.

EXPERIMENT 1(c)

(iii) Iron nails kept in copper sulphate solution
AimTo perform and observe the reaction of iron nails kept in copper sulphate solution and classify the reaction.
Materials RequiredIron nails, copper sulphate solution, test tubes, test tube stand, sandpaper and thread.
TheoryWhen an iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate solution, following reaction takes place:
cbse-class-10-science-practical-skills-types-of-reactions-10
In the above reaction, iron ions (Fe2+) being more reactive displaces copper ions (Cu2+) and a new compound ferrous sulphate is formed. This type of reactions is called displacement reaction.
Procedure 
  1. Take two iron nails and clean them by rubbing with sandpaper.
  2. Take two test tubes and mark them as ‘A’ and ‘B’.
  3. In each test tube, pour about 10 ml of copper sulphate solution.
  4. Tie one iron nail with a thread and immerse this carefully in the copper sulphate solution in test tube A for about 20 minutes. Keep aside one nail for comparison.
  5. After 20 minutes, take out the iron nail from the copper sulphate solution.
  6. Compare the intensity of blue colour of copper sulphate solutions of both   the  test    tubes ‘A’ and ‘B\
  7. Also, compare the colour of iron nail dipped in copper sulphate solution with one kept aside.
    cbse-class-10-science-practical-skills-types-of-reactions-11
ObservationsThe initial colour of copper sulphate solution was blue which after immersing iron nails turns to light green.
The initial colour of iron nail was grey. After immersing the nail into copper sulphate solution, a brown coating developed over it. Because of this coating iron nail appears reddish brown.
ResultOn keeping the iron nails in copper sulphate solution, a displacement reaction takes place. In this displacement reaction, iron displaces copper and two new products ferrous sulphate and copper are formed.
Precautions 
  1. The iron nails should be cleaned by rubbing them with a sandpaper.
  2. The test tube containing iron nails and copper sulphate solution should not be disturbed.

EXPERIMENT 1(d)

(iv) Reaction between sodium sulphate and barium chloride solutions
AimTo perform and observe the reaction between sodium sulphate and barium chloride solutions and classify the reaction.
Materials RequiredSodium sulphate solution, barium chloride solution, test tubes, beaker.
TheoryWhen the solutions of sodium sulphate and barium chloride are mixed, a white precipitate of barium sulphate is formed. Chemical equation for this chemical change can be given as follows:
cbse-class-10-science-practical-skills-types-of-reactions-12
In this reaction, both sodium sulphate and barium chloride exchange ions. Hence, this type of reaction is called double displacement reaction.
Procedure 
  1. Take 5 ml of sodium sulphate solution in a test tube and mark it as ‘A’.
  2. Take 5 ml of barium chloride solution in another test tube and mark it as ‘B’.
  3. Mix the solutions of test tubes ‘A’ and ‘B’ in a beaker.

THEORY
  1. pH is the measure of hydrogen ion concentration of a solution.
  2. The hydrogen ion concentration (H+) for an acidic solution is always greater than 10-7 mol L-1 and its pH is, therefore, always less than 7.
  3. The hydrogen ion concentration of a basic solution is always less than 10-7 mol L-1 and, therefore, its pH is always greater than 7.
  4. The hydrogen ion concentration of a neutral solution is 10-7 mol L-1 and, therefore, its pH is 7.
  5. The pH of a solution can be measured by using a pH paper, universal indicator or pH meter.
PROCEDURE
  1. Take the given solutions in separate test tubes marked as A, B, C, D, E and F and keep them in the test tube stand.

  1. Take some ice cubes. Dry them using the filter paper and put them quickly in a beaker.
  2. Place the beaker on a wire gauze kept over a tripod stand.
  3. Suspend a thermometer, into the ice cubes, with the help of a clamp stand.

EXPERIMENT-2
AIM- To determine the boiling point of water.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Distilled water, boiling tube, rubber cork with two bores, delivery tube, clamp stand, pieces of pumice stone/ porcelain pieces, beaker, thermometer, burner.
THEORY
H20 exists in three different physical states-solid ice, liquid water and water vapour. In the liquid state, the forces of interaction are less and therefore, water exists as a liquid at room temperature. The boiling point of water is 100 °C, i.e. the vapour pressure of water becomes equal to atmospheric pressure at 100 °C at sea level.
PROCEDURE
    cbse-class-9-science-practical-skills-melting-point-of-ice-and-boiling-point-of-water-4
  1. Take about 50 ml distilled water in a boiling tube, and add few pieces of pumice stone/porcelain to it.
  2. Fix a cork with two bores in the mouth of the boiling tube and fix a thermometer in one bore and delivery tube in the other.
  3. Clamp the tube to the stand.
