  1. Question 1

    Acids, Bases and Salts. This type asked 3 times: 2023, 2025, 2026. This one: 2026

    25
    How is a universal indicator obtained ? How is the wide range of pH of solution tested by it ?
  2. Question 2 (case study, 4 parts)

    Acids, Bases and Salts. This type asked 3 times: 2023, 2025, 2026. This one: 2026

    The pH plays an important role in our daily life. Strength of acids and bases depends on the number of H+\mathrm{H^+} ions and OH−\mathrm{OH^-} ions produced by these respectively. pH scale helps in predicting the strength of acids and bases by measuring hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
    28 (a)
    What type of indicator is used to predict how strong an acid or base is ?
    28 (b)
    Three solutions A, B and C showed pH as 3, 5 and 7. Which solution has the highest concentration of H+\mathrm{H^+} ions ?
    28 (c)
    What are strong acids and weak acids ?
    28 (c) OR
    (i) Under what condition is rainwater called acid rain ? (ii) In the following acids, identify weak acids : Nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, sulphuric acid, formic acid.
  3. Question 3
