C. Short answer questions
Q-1 Define and give two examples each for:
a. Fast change b. Slow change
1. a. Fast change: Fast changes occur quickly. Examples
include a lightning strike and a car accelerating.
b. Slow change: Slow changes happen gradually over time.
Examples include the growth of a tree and the erosion of a
mountain.
Q-2 Give two examples of human-made changes.
Ans-. Two examples of human-made changes are the
construction of a building and the production of plastic.
Q-3 Is the statement ‘All physical changes are reversible’ true
or not? Explain.
Ans. The statement ‘All physical changes are reversible’
is not true. While many physical changes are reversible,
not all of them can be undone. For example, cutting a piece
of paper cannot be
completely reversed because you cannot get back the
original piece of paper.
Q-4 What is the difference between the folding of a piece of
fabric and cutting a piece of fabric with regards to changes?
Ans-4 The folding of a piece of fabric is a reversible
change because you can unfold it to return it to its original
state. Cutting a piece of fabric, on the other hand, is
generally irreversible because you cannot easily put the cut
pieces back together to recreate the original fabric.
Q-5 What kind of changes are the following?
a. Cutting of fruit b. boiling of vegetables
5 a. Cutting of a fruit is an irreversible physical change.
Once cut, an apple cannot form a whole apple again.
b. When we boil vegetables, the change is chemical. We
cannot get raw vegetables back.
Q-6 Is distillation of water a physical change or a chemical
change? Explain.
6. Distillation of water is a physical change. It involves the
separation of water from impurities through heating
(evaporation) and condensation. No new substances are
formed in this process.
Q-7 Briefly explain rusting and what kind of change it is.
7. Rusting is a chemical change. It occurs when iron
reacts with oxygen and moisture to form iron oxide (rust).
This is a chemical reaction, as the composition of the iron
changes to form a new substance (iron oxide).
Fe+H2O+O2— Fe2O3.xH20
D. Long answer questions
Q-1 Differentiate between reversible changes and irreversible
changes with examples.
Reversible changes Re Irreversible changes

1. Reversible changes are 1. Irreversible changes cannot


those that can be undone or be reversed.
reversed back.
# melting an ice cube is a #On the other hand, baking a
reversible change because you cake is an irreversible change
can refreeze the water to make because you cannot turn a
an ice cube again. baked cake back into its
original ingredients.

Q-2 Explain how you will know if a chemical change has


happened.
1. You can identify a chemical change by observing one or
more of these signs:
• Production of gas (bubbles).
• Formation of a new substance.
• Change in colour or odour(smell)
For instance, when iron rusts, it is a chemical change because it
forms a new substance (iron oxide) with a different colour and
properties.
Q-3 Differentiate between physical change and chemical change
with examples.
Ans-3. Physical changes involve altering the physical
properties of a substance without changing its chemical
composition.
Cutting paper into pieces is a physical change because the
paper remains paper.

In contrast, chemical changes involve the formation of new


substances with different properties.
Burning paper is a chemical change because it produces ash
and smoke,which are different from the original paper.
Q-4 Explain how we see both physical change and chemical
changes in a burning candle.
Ans-4. In a burning candle, we observe both physical and
chemical changes.
#The melting of the wax is a physical change as it changes
the wax’s state from solid to liquid without altering its
chemical composition.
# However, the burning of the wick and wax is a chemical
change. It results in the formation of new substances with
different properties, which is characteristic of a chemical
change.
Image based questions
E. 1. Physical irreversible change: Cutting a plastic bottle
is a physical irreversible change. There is no change in
composition of the bottle but the broken part cannot be
fitted back to form a whole bottle.
1. Physical reversible change: Folding paper to form
shapes is a physical reversible change. We can reopen the
folds and get the whole paper back.
