Question 2.
How the iron blade is fixed into a wooden handle in tools used to dig the soil?
Answer:

1. First the ring in the iron blade of spade is heated.

3. This happens because metals always expand on heating.
4. The metal blade is then fitted easily into the wooden handle.
5. After this, cold water is usually poured on the iron blade which leads to the contraction of the expanded iron blade.
6. The spade can also be left to cool down, undisturbed so that it is firmly fixed, (vu) The blade is attached firmly to the wooden handle of a spade in this process.

X.Higher order Thinking questions :

Question 1.
Peeled and unpeeled banana does not look the same. Does that mean peeling banana is a chemical change?
Answer:
No, it is not a chemical change. We just separated the skin of the banana and there is no change is its composition..

Question 2.
A very hot glass on putting in cold water cracks. What does this change indicate?
Answer:
When hot glass is cooled fast, the glass cools down unevenly and therefore cause the glass to crack because inside contracts while the outside remains expanded. Glass expands when hot and contracts when cold. It’s a physical but irreversible change.

Question 3.
Boiling of water is a physical change; but boiling of egg is a chemical change. Why?
Answer:
Boiling of water is a physical change:

1. On boiling, water is converted into steam. If we cover the beaker with a lid, steam condenses back to water. So, boiling, of water is a physical change since only the physical state of water changes.

Boiling of egg is chemical change:

1. When egg is boiled, chemical nature of the egg changes. The properties of a boiled egg are totally different from the raw egg. Hence, boiling of an egg is a chemical change.

Question 1.
Take two pans, one wide and another narrow. Fill hot water in both to the same depth. Keep them in open. Observe after one to two hours. The pan that is wide has cooled more than the narrow one. That is more the surface area; the rate of evaporation is more.

From this, can you guess why we unfurl the clothes while putting them to dry, rather than just drape them over the cloth line?
Answer:
Wet clothes dry faster when we unfurl (Spread) them because the rate of evaporation depends on the surface area. If the surface area will be more, rate of evaporation will be higher or more.

Activity – 7

Question 1.

VII. Long Answers

Question 1.
Distinguish between the characteristics of solid, liquid and gas.
Answer:

Question 2.
We would have observed that the plate that covers the cooked food items have water droplets inside. Why? Explain.
Answer:

1. The water vapour emerges from the hot food and goes up.
2. The plate covering the food item is in relative less temperature than the hot food.
3. Thus the more energetic molecules loose energy once they touch the cooler plate.
4. As the molecules lose heat, they lose energy and slow down.
5. They move closer to other gas molecules.
6. Finally these molecules collect together to form a liquid.
7. Condensation happens when molecules in a gas cool down.

Question 3.
Write note on the following:

1. Curdling of milk
2. Fermentation

Answer:
(i) Curdling of milk: Curdling is a process in which liquid gradually turns into solid, forming clumps along the way. Take hot milk in a pan and add few drops of curd, in few minutes milk curdles forming lumpy solid masses. We can even add lemon extract to the hot milk to effect curdling immediately, but the taste and texture of the curd will not be the same as that of the curdling occurring in a few hours.

(ii) Fermentation: Fermentation is the process in which microorganisms such as yeast and certain bacteria break down sugar solution into alcohol and carbon-di-oxide. It is an irreversible process as the alcohol fosned cannot be turned back into sugar. Thus, fermentation is a chemical change.

Question 4.
Explain the characteristics of physical change with examples.
Answer:

(i) During a physical change, no new substances are formed. In a physical change,the chemical properties of a substance do not change. For example, when ice cube melts, water is formed. In this change, there is no new substance, but water is same both in ice and in water.

(ii) A physical change is usually temporary and reversible in nature. For example, when water is heated, water vapours are formed, once water vapours are cooled, water can be obtained again.

(iii) In a physical change, the chemical properties of a substance do not change. For example, when a piece of gold is melted, its chemical composition remains the same in the solid form and also in the liquid form.

(iv) In a physical change, the physical properties such as colour, shape and size of a substance may undergo a change.For example, cutting of vegetables and inflating a balloon are some examples of physical changes in which size and shape of a substance undergoes a change.

Question 5.
Write the characteristics of chemical change.
Answer:

1. Heat, light or any other radiation may be given off or absorbed.
2. Sound may be produced.
3. A change in smell may take place (or) a new smell may be given off.
4. A colour change may take place.
5. A gas may be formed.
6. Formation of precipitate

Question 6.
Explain about indicators of a chemical change with examples.
Answer:
(i) Take some broken pieces of egg shell in a test tube and add lemon juice to it. You could see bubbles of carbon-di-oxide evolving in the test tube. This is because of the chemical change between the two. Hence, we can say that evolution of bubbles serve as an indicator that of a chemical change.

(ii) When water is added to quicklime (calcium oxide) there will be evolution of lot of heat along with the formation of slaked lime (calciumhydroxide). This is a chemical change and it is indicated by the evolution of heat when the reaction sets in between quicklime and water.

(iii) Spoilage of food is a chemical change and it is indicated by the foul smell. So, change of odour is also an indicator of a chemical change.

(iv) When an iron nail is kept in water for a few days and taken out, the nail will become reddish brown in colour indicating that it has rusted. Rusting is a chemical change and it is indicated by a change in colour of the iron nail.

(v) A lump of curd is the precipitate that is obtained by the chemical reaction between hot milk and lemon juice. So, formation of precipitate is also an indication of a chemical change.

IX. Picture based Question:
Question 1.
Cut a fresh slice of potato, apple and brinjal and keep it away for sometime. What is the reason for the change of colour in these cases?

Answer:

1. Colour of the potato and brinjal remains the same when stored in water but there is a change in colour with the piece kept in air.
2. The slice of an apple acquires a brown colour if it is not consumed immediately.
3. This occurs mainly due to oxidation which is caused by oxygen from the air.
4. So, it is a chemical change.
