5 mL of dilute acetic acid were added to 5 mL of water and mixture was shaken for one minute. It was observed that :(1) the turbidity appeared in the test tube(2) the acid formed a separate layer at the bottom(3) water formed a separate layer at the bottom(4) a clear solution was formed
Correct answer: (4) a clear solution was formed
Explanation: When 5 mL of dilute acetic acid were added to 5 mL of water and the mixture was shaken for one minute, a clear homogeneous solution is formed due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Ethanoic acid was added in drops to water and it was noticed that:
2 mL of ethanoic acid was taken in each of test-tube I and test-tube II. A red litmus paper was introduced in test-tube I and a pH paper was introduced in test-tube II. The experiment was performed by four students A, B, C and D, they reported their observations as given below :
What is observed when 2 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid is added to 1 g of sodium carbonate taken in a clean and dry test tube? Write the chemical equation for the reaction involved.
A soil sample was taken by Boojho, from agricultural land and was weighed. The mass of the soil was found to be 40g. 80 mL of water was taken in a measuring cylinder and added to the soil sample. The soil absorbed 60 mL of water and the rest left in the measuring cylinder. Calculate the absorption rate of water by the soil.

Iron powder and sulphur powder were mixed together and divided into two parts A and B. When part A was heated strongly over a burner, then a substance C was formed. The part B was, however, not heated at all. When dilute hydrochloric acid was added to substance C, then gas D was evolved and when dilute hydrochloric acid was added to part B then gas E was evolved.(a) What type of substance is B?(b) What type of substance is C?(c) Name the gas (i) D, and (ii) E?(d) State one characteristic property of gas D.(e) Write one test to identify gas E.
