Melting of wax is a _________ change.

  1. physical

  2. chemical
  3. both $A$ and $B$

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

No new substances are formed. In a burning candle, there are both physical and chemical changes. The melting of the solid wax to form liquid wax and the evaporation of liquid wax to form wax vapour are physical changes. The burning of the wax vapour is a chemical change.

In ___________ , the properties of molecules remain same even after the change.

  1. physical change

  2. chemical change

  3. biochemical change

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

A physical change is any change in matter that involves the substance going from one physical state to another. 

The reference to a physical state involves solids, liquids, and gases. When a substance undergoes a physical change it does not lose its original properties because no new formation takes place when changing from one phase to another. The types of physical changes can vary. A substance can go from a solid to a liquid, a liquid to a gas, a gas to a liquid, a liquid to a solid, a solid to a gas, or a gas to a solid.

An iron ball at $\displaystyle { 50 }^{ \circ  }C$ is dropped in a beaker of water at $\displaystyle { 50 }^{ \circ  }C$. The heat will 

  1. Not flow from iron ball to water

  2. Not not flow from iron ball to water or from water to iron ball

  3. Not flow from water to iron ball

  4. Increase the temperature of both

B Correct answer
Explanation

Energy flows always from a higher temperature to lower temperature. In this case there is no temperature  difference hence energy would not flow in any way.

A mixture of sand and salt can be separated by:

  1. Sublimation

  2. Sieving

  3. Dissolving salt and sand mixture in water and then filtration

  4. Dissolving salt in water and then distillation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Dissolving salt in water and then distillation
Process to separate sand and salt from the mixture :
Step 1: Add water to the mixture and stir until the salt dissolve.
Step 2: Turn your burner on and then keep the mixture over it.
Step 3: Pour the water mixture through a very fine strainer or cheese cloth filter . (Sand will remain in filter, salt and water will pass through it)
Step 4: Pour the water and salt mixture back into the burner . And allow the water to boil away and collect salt from there.

Match the columns


I II
(a) Physical change (i) Curdling of milk
(b) Chemical change (ii) Demagnetisation of magnets
(iii) Digestion of food
(iv) Crystallisation of substance
(v) Rusting of iron

  1. a - i, ii, iii, b - iv, v

  2. a - ii, iv, b - i, iii, iv

  3. a - ii, iv, b - i , iii, v

  4. a - iii, v, b - i, ii, iv
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A change in which only the physical properties of the substance gets changed, while its chemical composition remains unchanged, is called a physical change. Crystallisation of substance and Demagnetisation of magnets comes under this change.
A change in which chemical composition and chemical properties of the reacting substances undergo a change is called a chemical change.
Curdling of milk, Digestion of food, Rusting of iron etc. comes under chemical change.

Which of the following  laboratory technique would not bring a physical change in the components of a mixture?

  1. Chromatography

  2. Precipitation

  3. Filtering

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

Physical change would not be in the components of a mixture by Filtering.
Filtering just separates solids from liquids. It does not involve any phase change.

$Ice\underset {cooling}{\overset {heating}{\rightleftharpoons}} water \underset {cooling}{\overset {heating}{\rightleftharpoons}} steam$. Identify the type of change

  1. Physical change

  2. Chemical change

  3. Both physical and chemical changes

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

In the given example, water only changes its state by the change in temperature, but its properties remain same hence it is an example of physical change not a chemical change.

Boiling water is a _____ change because _____.

  1. Physical, the gaseous water produced is chemically identical to the liquid water the process began with

  2. Physical, the water was disappeared

  3. Chemical, heat was required for the change

  4. Chemical, the process produced a gas
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Boiling water is a physical change because the gaseous water produced is chemically identical to the liquid water i.e both of them have the same molecular structure of the water.

According to the CRC's  the melting point of cadmium bromide is $868^{\circ}C$. Which of the following equations best describes what occurs when cadmium is heated to $868^{\circ}C$?

  1. $CdBr(s)\rightarrow CdBr(l)$
  2. $CdBr _{2}(s)\rightarrow CdBr _{2}(l)$
  3. $CdBr _{2}(s)\rightarrow Cd(s) + Br _{2}(g)$
  4. $CdBr _{2}(s)\rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq) + 2Br^{-}(aq)$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Heating a solid substance to its melting point causes a phase transition from the solid state to the liquid state without chemical decomposition. Therefore, solid cadmium bromide transforms into liquid cadmium bromide at 868 degrees Celsius.
