Oxford Academy Half Yearly Examination Chemistry Class: X: Hrs Marks

This document is a chemistry exam for class 10 containing 13 multiple choice and short answer questions testing students' knowledge of chemical equations, reactions, salts, acids and bases, respiration, rancidity, antacids, and toothpastes. The exam covers topics like balancing equations, the purpose of nitrogen in potato chip bags, gases produced during acid-metal reactions, identifying reaction types, classifying salts, reducing soil acidity, defining oxidation and reduction, and preventing tooth decay and food spoilage. Students are asked to explain observations, reactions, and processes involving limewater, antacids, milk curdling, and the effect of adding baking soda to milk.
