(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.

Q.1. Assertion : Hard water is not suitable for laundry.
Reason : Soap containing sodium stearate reacts with hard water to precipitate out as calcium or magnesium
stearate.

Answer Answer: (a)

Q.2. Assertion : Hydrogen combines with other elements by losing, gaining or sharing of electrons.
Reason : Hydrogen forms electrovalent and covalent bonds with other elements.

Answer Answer: (a)

Q.3. Assertion : Temporary hardness can be removed by boiling.
Reason : On boiling the soluble bicarbonates change to carbonates which being insoluble, get precipitated.

Answer Answer: (a)

Q.4. Assertion : H+ does not exist freely and is always associated with other atoms or molecules.
Reason : Loss of the electron from hydrogen atom results in nucleus (H+) of ~ 1.5 × 10–3 pm size. This is
extremely small as compared to normal atomic and ionic sizes of 50 to 200 pm.

Answer Answer: (a) Due to extremely small size of H+ as compared to normal atomic and ionic size H+ does not exist freely.

Q.5. Assertion : Calgon is used for removing permanent hardness of water.
Reason : Calgon forms precipitates with Ca2+ and Mg2+.

Answer Answer: (c)

Q.6. Assertion : H2O2 is not stored in glass bottles.
Reason : Alkali oxides present in glass catalyse the decomposition of H2O2

Answer Answer: (a)

Q.7. Assertion : Decomposition of H2O2 is a disproportionation reaction.
Reason : H2O2 molecule simultaneously undergoes oxidation and reduction.

Answer Answer: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
