Option 1 : Phosphorus, Zinc, Sodium, Sulphur
The correct answer is Phosphorus, Zinc, Sodium, Sulphur.
Concept:
- Non-metals are materials that do not have the properties of metals, such as being shiny, hard, fusible, malleable, ductile, etc.
- Examples of non-metals are carbon, sulphur, iodine, oxygen, hydrogen, etc
- Metals are materials that have the properties of being shiny, hard, fusible, malleable, ductile, etc.
- Examples of metals are iron, copper, aluminium, calcium, magnesium, etc.
Explanation:
Phosphorus- A non-metallic lubricant
- Phosphorus is a non-metallic lubricant.
- Phosphorus components are likely the earliest known and most important lubricant additives.
Zinc - A metal that does not react with water but reacts with steam
- Metals react with steam:
- When a metal reacts with steam it forms metal oxide and hydrogen gas is evolved.
- Metal + Steam Metal oxide + Hydrogen
- Metals react with water:
- Metals react with water to form metal hydroxide or metal oxide.
- Zinc does not react with cold or hot water. They react with steam slowly to give the respective oxides:
- Zinc + Steam → Zinc oxide + Hydrogen gas
- Zinc reacts with steam when being heated and gives hydrogen gas and Zinc oxide.
Sodium - A metal which is constituent of baking powder
- Baking powder contains the elements sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.
- Baking powder is a combination of sodium hydrogen carbonate and tartaric acid, an edible acid.
- It is a raising agent that is commonly used in the baking of cakes.
- When liquid is added to the baking powder, it produces carbon dioxide and forms bubbles, causing the mixture to expand.
Sulphur- a non-metal used in fire crackers
- Sulphur and other non-metals are used in the production of crackers.
- Metal salts and metal oxides in fireworks react to produce an array of colours.
- Sulphur and phosphorus are the most common non-metals used in crackers.
- The gunpowder is made up of 75% potassium nitrate, 15% charcoal, and 10% sulphur, which is the spine of crackers.
