Change of water into vapor (Vaporization) is which of the following change

  1. Physical and reversible change.

  2. Chemical and reversible change.

  3. Physical and irreversible change.

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

Vapor is another physical state of water. Water can be obtained from the  condensation of vapor. This is a physical and reversible change.

Burning of Magnesium ribbon is a _______

  1. Chemical change

  2. Physical change

  3. Reversible change

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

Magnesium ribbon burns with dazzling light in air and forms magnesium oxide.
$2Mg+O _2\rightarrow 2MgO$.
The above change is a chemical changes as new substance is  formed after change. Original
substances cannot be retrieved by simple physical processes.So it is chemical change.
Hence option A is correct.

Calcium carbide produces acetylene on reaction with water. Ethylene can be obtained by reduction of ${C} _{2}{H} _{2}$. Polythene is produced by polymerization of ${C} _{2}{H} _{4}$. Calculate the theoretical yield of polythene per kilogram of $Ca{C} _{2}$ :

  1. $0.6457kg$
  2. $0.4375kg$
  3. $0.5113kg$
  4. $0.3948kg$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water to form acetylene (C2H2). Acetylene is reduced to ethylene (C2H4), which is then polymerized to form polythene (CH2CH2)n. Stoichiometric calculation shows 1 mole of CaC2 produces 1 mole of C2H2, which produces 1 mole of C2H4, resulting in 28g of ethylene units per 64g of CaC2.

Examples of slow reaction are:

  1. rusting of iron

  2. weathering of rocks

  3. neutralization of sodium hydroxide by hydrochloric acid

  4. formation of coal
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B,D Correct answer
Explanation
Reactions that take a while are slow reactions and those which occur within a few seconds are fast reactions. The rusting of iron, the fermentation of sugar into alcohol, the chemical weathering of rocks (breaking down of rocks), the photosynthesis process in plants, coal formation are slow reactions. Whereas neutralization reaction of a strong base like sodium hydroxide and strong acid like $HCl$ is a fast reaction.
option A,B,D are correct

Which of the following is a chemical change

  1. Burning of coal

  2. Dissolving sugar in water

  3. Dissolving salt in water

  4. Melting of ice
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A chemical change is the process in which chemical composition of the substance is changed,and physical composition may or may not changed burning of coal that is carbon(C) in presence of oxygen gives a different chemical substance $CO _2$. So, it is a chemical change. Hence option A is correct.

Melting of wax is

  1. Reversible change

  2. Irreversible change

  3. Both A,B

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

In melting of wax, only the physical state of the wax changes from solid to liquid. Solid wax can be obtained from molten wax. Molten wax can be again converted to solid wax. This is an example of physical and reversible change. Hence, option A is correct.

Multiple choice chemistry phenomena around us comparison between physical and chemical changes introduction to physical and chemical changes change around us

Identify the physical change:

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. Respiration

  3. Digestion of food

  4. Melting of Wax
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Melting of wax is a physical change. In a burning candle there are both physical and chemical changes. The burning of the solid wax to form liquid wax and the evaporation of liquid wax to form wax vapour are physical changes. The burning of wax vapour is a physical change.
