PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES

EXERCISE QUESTION

 

Copy the question and answer in Chemistry copy.

 

Q.1. What do you observe when:

 

                           i.            Water is boiled?

  Ans.: Water changes to steam.


                         ii.            A piece of paper is burnt?

Ans.: The paper turns into ash.

 

                      iii.    Some ice cubes are kept in glass tumbler.

Ans.: The ice melts and changes to liquid water. Water droplets are formed on the outer surface of the glass tumbler.

 

                       iv.            Quicklime is dissolved in water?

Ans.: A lot of heat is evolved. Quicklime dissolves in water to form an alkaline solution called lime water.

 

                        v.    Solid ammonium chloride is heated?

Ans.: The white crystalline solid (ammonium chloride) sublimes on heating to form dense white fumes. The dense white fumes form a powdery mass on the cooler parts of the test tube. No residue is left behind.

 

                                   vi.      An iron nail is kept in tap water for few days?

 Ans.: The iron nail undergoes rusting. A reddish brown powdery substance is formed on the nail.

 

                                 vii.      A lighted match stick is brought near the mouth of test tube containing hydrogen gas?

Ans.: The lighted match stick extinguishes and hydrogen gas burns with blue flame and a pop sound.


                   viii.            A spoon of sugar is heated in a pan?

Ans.: The sugar first melts and then changes its colour to reddish brown. On strong heating a black charred mass of carbon is formed. A colourless, odourless gas which turns lime water milky is evolved.

Melting Point

It is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid under normal pressure.

The melting point is the characteristic property of solids. The melting point of a solid is indication of the strength of the force of attraction between particles.

 

 

Freezing Point

It is the temperature at which a pure liquid changes to a solid at atmospheric pressure. The melting point and freezing point are same. Hence freezing point is also affected by change in pressure and presence of impurities.

 

Boiling Point

It is the temperature at which a pure liquid changes to vapour under normal pressure.  Boiling point is the characteristic property of a liquid.

 

Text Box: Note: During melting and boiling temperature of the substance does not change though heat is supplied from outside.

 

GAS AND VAPOUR

A substance which exists in the solid or liquid state under ordinary conditions but under certain conditions it exists in gaseous state is called vapour.

A substance which exists in the gaseous state under ordinary conditions i.e. at room temperature and one atmospheric pressure is called a gas.

 

EVAPORATION

The process of conversion of a substance from the liquid state to its vapour state at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation. It is a surface phenomenon. Evaporation causes cooling.

 

Factors on which the Rate of Evaporation of a Liquid Depends

1. Surface area of the liquid: Larger the exposed surface greater is the rate of evaporation.

2. Temperature: The rate of evaporation is directly proportional to temperature.

3. Humidity: Lower the humidity greater is the rate of evaporation.

4. Nature of liquid: Some liquids evaporate faster like alcohol while some evaporate slowly.

5. Speed of Wind: The rate of evaporation increases with speed of wind.
