Multiple choice chemistry changes - physical and chemical physical changes changes and their classification physical changes

Maximum conductivity would be of : 

  1. $K _{3}Fe(CN) _{6}[0.1 M Solution]$
  2. $K _{3}Ni(CN) _{6}[0.1 M Solution]$
  3. $FeSO _{4}.Al _{2}(SO _{4}) _{3}.24H _{2}O[0.1 M Solution]$
  4. $Na _{3}[Ag(S _{2}O _{3}) _{2}][0.1 M Solution]$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Conductivity depends on the number of ions produced in solution. FeSO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O (Alum) dissociates into the most ions per formula unit compared to the complex salts listed, leading to higher molar conductivity.

Which of them is not the characteristics of a physical change?

  1. Change in the physical properties

  2. New substances are formed

  3. Reversible reaction

  4. Original substance can be riveted back
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

1) A physical change is temporary and is usually reversible.
2) No new substances are formed during a physical change.
3) There is no change in mass of the substance during a physical change.
4) There is no net absorption or release of energy during a physical change.

The process in which the state of a substance changes from solid to liquid is called:

  1. boiling

  2. condensation

  3. freezing

  4. melting
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

When a solid is heated, the particles are given more energy and start to vibrate faster. At a certain temperature, the particles vibrate so much that their ordered structure breaks down. At this point the solid melts into liquid. This temperature change from solid to liquid is called  the melting point. Each solid has a set melting point at normal air pressure, but at higher altitudes the melting point lowers.

On decreasing temperature, a liquid turns into solid. This is:

  1. condensation

  2. melting

  3. freezing

  4. sublimation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

On decreasing temperature, a liquid turns in to solid, this process is called Freezing. Freezing or solidification is a phase transition state.
Most liquids freeze by crystallization. formation of crystalline solid from the uniform liquid. this is a first-order thermodynamic phase transition i.e as long as solid and liquid coexist the temperature of the whole system remains very nearly equal to the melting point due to slow removal of heat when in contact with the air, which is a poor heat conductor.

When a solid directly turns into gaseous state, it is called:

  1. sublimation

  2. condensation

  3. polymerisation

  4. melting
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition that occurs at temperatures and pressures below a substance's triple point in its phase diagram. The reverse process of sublimation is desublimation or deposition.

Dissolution of common salt or sugar in water is an example of:

  1. physical change

  2. chemical change

  3. both A and B

  4. none of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A change in which only the physical properties of the substance get changed, when the chemical composition remain unchanged is called a physical change. Here we can obtain the sugar by boiling water.

Example of the physical change is :

  1. respiration (inhaling oxygen gas and exhaling carbon dioxide gas)

  2. mixing vinegar and baking soda

  3. evaporating water

  4. burning fuel in your car
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In evaporation of water, only the physical state of water changes from liquid to gas, but not the chemical composition of water.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following is a physical change?

  1. Magnetisation of iron

  2. Curdling of milk

  3. Burning of a candle

  4. Cooking of food
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Magnetization of iron is a physical change and not a chemical change as there is no change of state, no change of temperature, no smell and no evolution of gas. It is because: - No Chemical process is involved. - After demagnetizing the iron it will lose its magnetic power.
