Why are cooking vessels made of aluminum or copper instead of wood or plastic?
Answer
Metals like aluminum and copper are good conductors of heat. They efficiently transfer heat from the flame to the food, ensuring even cooking. Wood and plastic are poor conductors and would burn or me…
What happens when sodium metal is dropped in water? Write the balanced chemical equation.
Answer
Sodium reacts violently with water, producing sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is highly exothermic and the hydrogen catches fire. 2Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) + heat energy…
How can you test if a solution conducts electricity? What does this tell us about ionic compounds?
Answer
Set up a circuit with a bulb, battery, and two electrodes dipped in the solution. If the bulb glows, the solution conducts electricity. This shows ionic compounds dissociate into ions in solution, all…

Explain why diamond is hard while graphite is soft, even though both are forms of carbon.
Answer
Both are allotropes of carbon with different structures. Diamond has a 3D network of carbon atoms with each carbon bonded to 4 others, making it extremely hard. Graphite has layered structure with wea…
How do you arrange these metals in decreasing order of reactivity: Iron, Copper, Magnesium, Zinc?
Answer
Based on the activity series: Magnesium > Zinc > Iron > Copper Magnesium reacts vigorously with acids and water, zinc and iron react with acids but not cold water, while copper doesn't react with dil…
A copper wire is placed in iron sulfate solution, and an iron nail in copper sulfate solution. In which test tube will you observe a reaction?
Answer
Reaction occurs in the test tube with iron nail in copper sulfate solution. Iron is more reactive than copper, so it displaces copper from copper sulfate: Fe(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s) The n…
